I'll end life in a way that shows how much of a loser I am.

 

I'll wait right until the heat wave is about to hit me, then:

I need some SPF over nine thoussaaaaaaaaaaaand!

There is a reason why I have a built in escape pod in my home that launches me into orbital velocity... Through I still need to figure out a way to get it down once I do that.

 

Realistically, judging by the size and power of the blast, I can run and get into these houses across the street, its like a little town and they have solid concrete walls that are about 3 feet thick and 12 feet high, and there is another section of houses with a wall like that farther back, so I would have a decent chance of survival hiding inside of a sewer over around that area. If I survive I can simply head down the sewer tunnel systems for a good distance and live.

Consider that the wind from a nuclear blast is around 960kmh/600mph.

I would assume I had eaten some wierd hallucinogenic mushrooms, because I'm pretty sure the mushroom clouds are a figment of Hollywood's imagination. The actual explosion takes place in a fraction of a second, a human wouldn't see that cloud without using some camera that takes pictures every .001 seconds. And anyways, if you see the cloud then you're already dead. So I suppose I would go into some deep reverie about the existence of ghosts, and decide what I wanted to do now that I'm undead. Which, coincidentally, would make a great thread. If you found, upon waking up, that you hadn't actually woken up but instead had become a ghost (assuming they exist), what would you do?

Those mushroom clouds really happen.

I didn't say it doesn't happen, I said it's unlikely you would be able to see it because it happens in a split second, and you would probably be dead.

It doesn't dissipate in a split second. It slowly rises into the upper atmosphere and dissipates over a much longer period of time. Not exactly sure how long, but more than a few minutes.

 

Although if I saw a mushroom cloud I wouldn't be concerned about this argument, I'd have to do something awesome. I like the idea of listening to Tool, but I think I'd listen to the song Right In Two, I find it a very fitting song to hear in a situation like this. Only problem is it's 9 minutes long..

Mushroom clouds last a bit longer than a split-second...they're smoke, not the actual explosion...

Way to kill the mood. <_<

Head over to YouTube and watch some videos of real nuclear bomb tests. Oppenhiemer will personally tell you there is a mushroom cloud that last longer than a second.

I'm sorry, you all are better in formed on this stuff than I am. It was my belief that explosions outside of movies lasted only a fraction of a second, so if you were within the blast radius you would already be dead.

Of course you'd be dead if you were in close proximity to the explosion, but say if you were 5 miles away from the blast, you would see the mushroom cloud.

I'd say [bleep] yeah ! Since I wouldn't have to do anything ever again ! Awesome.

QUICK! GET UNDER A DESK!

 

Hehe people were so stupid in the 50s. Oh wait....

Judging by my location (Mountain), with an overview of the major city in my state around 10 miles away, I would probably just see the flash, and then have a minute to deal with what to do. Probably run downstairs to the basement, grab my gas mask, and go into the closet which happens to hold all our dried food, wine, and also about 100-200 gallons of water. With concrete on 3 sides and a metal door.

Filling that with food/supplies and putting the door on was kinda my summer project.

GET IN THE TV!!!

When I get a place I should probably do that too. Maybe make it big enough to grow enough produce for myself.

Heh' irradiated food. Most of the food that you eat is already intentionally irradiated. Muffins, apples ... you name it. I think they use Cobalt-60. :|

Use protection....from nuclear explosion.

I'd step outside and face the explosion, so I can just watch it until the shockwave hits me. Tears would be streaming down my face, and my only, desperate thought would be "WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP GOD DAMMIT WAKE UP".

Lowest part of the house, surround myself with as much mass as possible, primarily padded by a mattress to avoid the shock wave.

 

Assuming that there was only one explosion in sight. If more, there's little enough chance to live a life worth living.

If I could see it I would have been blinded.

 

Run around blind praying. Check my emails run around a bit more then die from the shockwave that should have killed me in the first few seconds.

Probably just to give people at least a little hope of survival when the [cabbage]'s being bombed out of them. Better than having a bunch of kids yelling out "OMGOMGOMG NUKULAR BOMB FUU-" because everything withing several miles is dying.
