Riverman2 · 56-60, M

Liverpool, even the Germans refused to bomb it during WW11, as it was already declared a disaster zone

@Dlrannie a little humour while talking about world total apocalypse is refreshing.....☢️🤩

I think one would best be right beside it
Nimbus · M
@Virgo79 Good point!

Radioactive fallout would be greatest in the Northern Hemisphere, so a Southern Hemisphere location would be best. Tristan da Cunha is in an isolated island location in the South Atlantic, 1750 miles from Africa and 2000 miles from South America. An underground location there, with enough food supplies and access to fresh or treatable water for 20 years, would be the best location to wait out the nuclear winter that would result.

@pinkie Studies of the worst case scenario with the maximum number of missiles launched in a US-Russia conflict show that something between half and two-thirds of humankind would be extinguished. But that is not all humanity. There will be places where survival will be possible. Actions like I have described will increase your chances of long-term survival.
@windinhishair I agree that life would reset but it would likely be worse for humans since on a near global scale now we have reduced the plants and animals we rely on for food to mono-cultures that already make our food chain more fragile.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I can't disagree with you. I am certain that it would definitely be worse for human beings, and for many (perhaps countless) generations. Recovery in a new world would take millennia at a minimum, and it won't resemble the old one.
South pole or North pole. that would be my guess.

🤔 better ask, where is the safest place to die?
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@Yulianna Pragmatic.

@cherokeepatti Hey the Russians would be okay they have a space station big enough for 3 cosmanauts lol .
Nimbus · M
@cherokeepatti I hear Saturn is warm :)

Any relatively "safe" location would be but a temporary refuge before having to emerge upon an earthscape of dust,ashes - and death.A question to ponder in these days - and as we approach the 60th anniversary of the "Cuban Missile Crisis" next month.

I don't think there will be a really safe place. Radiation will get a lot of people, and nuclear winter will get the rest.
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou Correct! ;)
pinkie · 51-55, M
@4meAndyou totally agree with you , sad reality ; hope that it will never happens , but some people are so stupid
Elessar · 26-30, M
Right at the center of that explosion so you get vaporized in an instant, instead of taking months/years to melt from the inside
pinkie · 51-55, M
@Elessar totally agree with you
Rhode57 · 56-60, M
On the moon . If nuclear war breaks out it wont matter as earth and everything on it will be obliterated . You would have to be able to live underground for 100s of years until the earths surface was safe for human habitation again .
pinkie · 51-55, M
@Rhode57 no retaurants , no beach , no dysney parks , no tv on the moon it will be annoying : LOL😂
Rhode57 · 56-60, M
@pinkie Hey look at the upside , you will be alive and die of boredom instead .
pinkie · 51-55, M
@Rhode57 perfect👌
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
Probably Finland as I understand they have enough Nuclear Bomb shelters for their entire population 🙂
pinkie · 51-55, M
@Dlrannie you will stay in a 😷shelter during many years.......
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@Nimbus Well it was Putins recent threats that to invade them that did that 🙂
Nimbus · M
@Dlrannie Exactly.
Ye shall reap what ye sow :)
HikingMan · 51-55, M
Far away from civilization and prevailing jet streams.

If the world powers, go nuclear..., there isn't much chance for humanity and the ones that survive will be leading a fucked-up existence.

No one on this planet can really hide from a full-on Nuclear War.
Not even the rich and "needed" types ushered to the various "Bunkers" across the world.
Cierzo · M
Ask Klaus Schwab or Bill Gates.

@Cierzo 😛

@GJOFJ3 Good point.
pinkie · 51-55, M
@GJOFJ3 mortal radiations go everywhre and during long time☠️☢️
Ontheroad · M
In all reality, the common man is totally screwed. There will be the uber wealthy, some high end preppers and highly placed government officials that will have adequate supplies and shelters, but that is a tiny, tiny fraction of the world's population.
Nimbus · M
@Ontheroad Good point.
SW-User
On the moon
Nimbus · M
@SW-User How are we to get there? ;)
SW-User
@Nimbus Elon of course 😜
At this point in history if nuclear war broke out there is not really any such thing as a safe place to live. If a full scale exchange happens we are all basically screwed. Both the US and Russia alone have large enough arsenals for an extinction level event.

@Nimbus A nuclear war would probably be between Nato and Russia. Too far from Africa. A place like Ivory Coast would be nice.
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Nimbus😆 on a desert island miles from nowhere nimby and watch the firework display from a safe distance
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Nimbus 🤫why there and you have actual called it by the right name for once nimby 😆
Nimbus · M
@smiler2012 Isn't it the place where people go to hide from the police?
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Nimbus 😆maybe they are good enough to evade the detection of nosey busies nimby but a nuclear bomb no place too hid sadly
SW-User
Nimbus · M
@SW-User 👍
Nimbus · M
That this for what it is worth. A friend who is retired from SAC said if a full on exchange happens the best place to be is ground zero. You will be gone before you know what hit you.
Freeranger · M
None would be safer than Mother's underwater lair from the late British series, The Avengers starring Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg.
That guy had it dialed in.
Nimbus · M
@Freeranger lol, a great series :)

if there is a nuclear war , no place in earth will be safe ..... it will be 1000 times stronger than hiroshima or tchernobyl , remember this .....
Nimbus · M
@pinkie 👍
Ontheroad · M
Mars - we need to get busy with building liveable habitats up there.
Nimbus · M
@Ontheroad Mars is gonna be crowded :)
Ontheroad · M
@Nimbus Yeah, we may have to kick those damn martians off the planet 😁
pinkie · 51-55, M
cementary☠️
pinkie · 51-55, M
@Nimbus the world after a nuclear war would become hell++++++ better being dead after all
Nimbus · M
@pinkie True.
pinkie · 51-55, M
@Nimbus a bunker will be slow death........
At my work place. Its not safe but still 😂
Nimbus · M
Wherever the USA didn't put a target?
Noplace.

In the country that fires first.

@AbbeyRhode Interesting point :)

Maybe a cavern ?

@Driver2 Yep, in a remote region.

with John Goodman in 10 cloverfield lane
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Why's that?
SW-User
@Nimbus he built a nuclear fallout shelter under his home
Justenjoyit · 56-60, M
I am just going to walk outside and embrace it
Rhode57 · 56-60, M
@Justenjoyit Me too probably wont get that far as we would all be dead in minutes maybe seconds .
Justenjoyit · 56-60, M
@Rhode57 who wants to live after that anyway 🤷‍♂️
Nimbus · M
@Justenjoyit Might be the best option :)

@Stereoguy I'd rather be vaporized in the blast than protract the pain for 3+ years, potentially killing or getting killed for the last rations of food

The local pub.

@Unquestioned Cheers!
