ladies and gentlemen we have officially reached the “in case a nuclear attack happens” phase……. [x]

This shit is wild.

There should be an amber alert or something to warn us, hopefully. But if you’re so close to the blast that the entire outside flashes white your first priority is to get underneath the blastwave any way you can.

After that you have 2 options: drive away or protect yourself from the radiation.

Option one is tough because literally everybody else is going to want to do this, and you could get stuck right in the fallout. And lemme tell you, if you’re stuck out there when the ashes first fall for more than 15 minutes, you’re dead. Radiation poisoning.

Option two is harder, but has a better success rate. Get underground. Most houses have a crawlspace, but in this bad time just saw a fucking hole in your floor. Put table over hole. Pack some large containers (like tubs), with dirt, tight, and stack them on your table or wherever you’re going to be directly underneath. you need 36 inches if dirt to be protected from the radiation poisoning. You could preemptively buy lead and stick that in a container with a lot of serface area, i forget how many inches you need vertically.

How ever much serface area the dirt/metal/lead covers is how much you and your party will be able to move around. As long as there’s enough inches vertically you’ll be good so long as you stay under it.

You gotta stay under there for at least 2 weeks, 3 to be sure.

Also, if you can see the mushroom cloud, stick your arm out as far as you can. Do a thumbs-up and close one eye. If your thumb is bigger than the cloud, you are safe. If the cloud is bigger or the same size as your thumb, then that means you are in the radiation zone and should evacuate immediately.

I cannot believe I actually have to freaking reblog this but here y'all go just in case

Take a break from the humor for just a second and read this.

Sorry, what year is this again??

yall realize that the whole doing a thumbs up @ a nuke is fake right?

it comes from a goddamn game (fallout) and @lime-vodkaaa already deleted their comment for providing info that would get hundreds of people killed if it happens

a lot of people have already ranted about how this post is just a bunch of fear mongering (because korea has one (1) nuke that can barely fucking fly as is called “musudan 4000 km” that’ll only reach hawaii or alaska, and even then if the US used two nukes on korea it’d pretty much blast the entire country off the map… so yall are fine) as well as terrible false “survival info” from video games but still:

the thumbs-up thing is super fucking fake and will get you killed. please for the love of god fact-check and dont just take everything you see off of tumblr or from video games as the truth.

here’s a good diagram as to the general effects of a nuclear explosion by distance:

and even then, you have to take multiple destruction factors of a nuke into consideration. its not just radiation. its a matter of blast force, thermal radiation, kinetic energy, ionizing radiation, residual radiation. there’s fallout, buildings collapsing, radiation and fallout contaminating water and food sources, etc. etc.

it’s literally not just a matter of “duck and cover underground” because there’ll be far too many things to deal with after the initial shock wave, let alone radiation. if you stick your thumb up at a nuclear explosion, youre gonna be vaporized and burned no matter what.

here’s a good thing that talks about everything you have to take into consideration and why not to trust video games.

and even then wikipedia is yknow the easiest to find.

please guys remember to fact check and dont take things at face value or from tumblr posts because people love to fear monger instead of putting facts together.
