So it goes.

I was thinking about this while I was on my hike yesterday. Weird. I was picturing a mushroom cloud emerging somewhere over the puget sound and thinking about what I would do.

Oh this dream again... jeez its getting old...

(I had a dream where my electronics all went dead [from the EMP I guess] and the lights to the house went dead then I look outside my window and saw a huge mushroom cloud...

then I woke up...

And I check the direction of where I saw the nuke in my dream, its right in the ditection of the center of the city lmao)

I'd say nothing

However there will be a goldilocks zone where a pizza is perfectly cooked. I'll use my dying moments to find out and document that radius for future generations

"a friendly mushroom cloud!"

“Oh, I’ve wasted my life.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Maybe it's friendly!

In waterworld, there was an old man in a row boat floating inside an oil tanker. Us is he.

Good fucking job, Trump is what I'd say bitterly.

I've had a near-death experience - at least, I thought it was death.

So I can tell you I'd be hoping it would be quick with another bomb dropped closer to me, or that I'd be far enough away to not suffer from radiation beyond elevated cancer risk. Because acute radiation poisoning is a nasty way to go. There's nothing they can do about the extreme pain you live with for hours to a few days. You just suffer horribly.

I live in the same town as a Raytheon subsidiary. I'll never know what happened.

“That reminds me I still have about 8 grams left. Guess I’ll just eat them all tonight.”

"How did so many mushrooms become lighter than air?"

I love you.

Better to see a mushroom cloud than be in a mushroom cloud.

Shit...

"Mm mm! Nothing says 'we're fucked' like... that (points at the cloud)". I grab my Game Boy Advance SP and run to the shelter next doors.

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

"Finally"

Boom goes the dynamite

Ooh, that cloud looks like a mushroom 🍄‍🟫

"Finally."

Considering there's rarely anyone around for me to say anything to, I'd probably let fly a few choice words and then start trying to work out where the next one was going to land and try to be under it.

That's assuming you mean nuclear mushroom cloud anyway.

Other, sufficiently large ordnance also generates mushroom clouds and we've recovered from a handful of those before.

So any research would be trying to find out whether it was nuclear or not.

I've seen Threads. And a whole heap of post-apocalypse stories. I do not want to live in those worlds.

Not sure I would say anything. I think I’d just sit and watch.

I might ask a neighbor for a smoke.

"nice cloud", I guess ?

Yo it's the thing from Oppenheimer!!!

Lol, those guys are fucked... Guess it's my turn now.

'Unh?! Aw, fuck off, I'm trying to slee-"
