    If nuclear war breaks out, I’ll be surface level hoping the first one to hits directly me in the face.

    Seriously. I live in a college town. The university has a nuclear engineering program and a training reactor. Anything nuclear, including training facilities for nuclear engineers, is at the top of the list of targets in a total nuclear war. If the alert comes down that the nukes are flying, we’re loading the cats in the car, grabbing every mind altering substance we have, and heading over to hang out right outside the reactor facility’s gate. If the bombs start falling, I want to be close enough to ground zero to simply be vaporized. That’s the really the best fate you can hope for in such an eventuality. I’m not even kidding; we’ve actually talked about this. When the bombs hit, we’ll be hopefully drunk and high just a few yards from ground zero.
