I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn’t have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock… the best I could get out might be, “Well, fuck.”
How about you?
Cloud? So it’s Death As A Service?
I was walking along a scenic trail in my city a few years ago. This particular spot had a spectacular eastern view, so I stopped to take in the last of what seemed to be a spectacular sunset.
It took my moronic ass about 15 seconds to remember that the sun usually sets in the west. So what was that red orange glow on the horizon?
A wildfire? No, I’d have heard about that.
Must be a… Nuke? What else would make that much light that fast. It had blown and I was seeing the burning destruction in its wake.
I spent the next minute or so basically shitting myself. Trying to figure out which way the fallout would blow. Thinking about all the emergency drinking water and food I never stocked. Thinking how horrific a death radiation sickness would be.
I was straight up having a panic attack!
Well then the most glorious blood moon I ever seen came up over the horizon. Huge and glowing orange.
I learned a bit about myself that day. Mostly that I am unlikely to thrive in any sort of apocalypse type situation. And that I’m a moron. Moon was cool though!
I’m sorry but this is really hilarious! Just picturing this play out the way you described has made my day
Well fuck
Oh thank God.
I love that movie.
Which movie is that?
Waterworld!
I’ll say the stupidest swear word I could imagine. Something like “Krankenscheisse”
For context, my apartment is within the blast zone of both the EU and the NATO headquarters… if I see a mushroom cloud I’m assuming for the worst, if it’s not directly on top of my head in the first place
Krankenscheisse
Unfortunately that doesn’t mean anything. It would translate to “sickness poo”.
You probably want to yell “Kranker Scheiss” which would roughly translate to “sick/(crazy) shit!”
They did say “stupidest”
