Yes, and try and live close to the center of where you think the nuke would be targeted. If it comes, you’ll be vaporized instantly with no awareness. Depending on the size of the nuke, if you’re outside of that radius, you get shockwave, firestorm and fallout depending on distance, and while you will almost certainly die, it may not be quick and painless.

Idk it would be pretty neat to see the blastwave.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Imagine the Tik Toks.

Got to see blast wave, lost my eyes due to exploding window, worth it.

if it comes, you’ll be vaporized instantly with no awareness.

but what if you're opening the fridge for a late midnight muckbang video with a last minute sponser and then suddenly the initial shockware knocks you into the fridge and when you get out all your manikins are on fire?

[–] hotspur@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Well, yeah, there is that possibility.

If you're close enough, the shockwave is fast enough that the heat generated from the speed of the shockwave would instantly vaporize your body.
