I've got one hell of a cold right now. I'd welcome the sweet relief.

There's nothing to do.

I go outside with arms open wide, saying "it's about time".

Oh! Oh! I have an answer for this. I remember around the time that The Day After aired, one of the local news stations ran a story simulating what would happen to my city were it hit by an ICBM. We lived on the far side of a hill, far enough away from downtown for it to be potentially survivable. I decided that if we got the warning, I'd grab my bike and light out for ground zero. Fuck surviving, I don't wanna take the chance of being alive but horribly injured, and that aftermath shit just wasn't worth it.

Oh, so if you ever wonder why Gen X/Xennials are so fucked up, there ya go.

Ah just dump all my cat's treats in her bowl and probably go lie down.

Hopefully it's a nice day so I could go outside and lay down in the grass or climb a tree to chill and completely relax.

Ha we don't have text alerts in my country! I would die happy and ignorant in my pretty toilet

• I would text my housemate my location and where I planned to shelter.
• if i was at home I would go to the lowest floor in the middle of the house away from the windows. in my current place, I think I'd be in the ground-floor bathroom, so I'd also fill any available containers with tap water while I still could
• I'd follow the news online as long as I could, switching to my radio if/when necessary
• see web pages like this for more tips: https://www.ready.gov/ especially: http://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/2021-11/are-you-ready-guide.pdf

Drugs. So the usual.

Make sure my phone was actually on silent, put ear plugs in and go back to sleep. I'm too fucking tired to try and survive anything more.

Clearly, war has come. My town won't be the one getting hit though.

Load a few jerry cans in the car, take out cash at the ATM, fill up as much fuel, clean water and firewood as possible, then stop by the local hospital and ask if they need extra hands. Meanwhile give my sis a call.

Sweden, costal village north of Stockholm.

If a missile is on it's way, I'd send a text to my near and dear with a quick "missile incomming, love you, if I don't make it, you can have X".

Then go to bed in my walk in closet.

I live alone in my flat, top floor, no proper shelter in my general area.

Go to basement. Got enough emergency supplies to last a while.

Go stand in the street and flip off the CIA satellite overhead. I'm ready.

I live in a shithole 100km from a NATO capital. I'm not expecting a direct or near hit, so the fallout is my main concern. I should have at least 20-30 minutes to get comfy.

I've got potable water in jugs in the basement already. I'll just grab a couple of mattresses, sleeping bags, camping stove, food, solar/crank radio and head down there. Also some duct tape to seal up the ventilation.

@IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol

1. I go to the residential shelter.
2. Neighbors go to their shelters.
3. No memes, everyone continues to do their stuff as usual after 10-min shelter stay.

Nothing new here, actually

Double it and give it to the next person

If I’m in a country that isn’t at war, and has a strong military:

Ignore it and go about what I was doing. Later on, probably read about some idiot who sent the warning by accident.

Possibly, die in a fiery explosion.

I guess I'd seek shelter 🤷‍♂️

Nothing I can do. As far as I know there is no bomb safety infrastructure near my house plus I'm afraid of getting trapped underground so I wouldn't want to risk sitting in one.

I'd crack a beer, sit out on my deck and call my family and close friends to say my goodbyes.

I'm going to the drug store to buy them out of iodine. If I survive, probably going to need it.

"thank God, it can finally be over" would be my first thought, followed by hugging and petting my dogs until it happens.

I assume pizza delivery times will be through the roof, so I'd try to get mine in ASAP.
