I recently saw a comment chain about nuclear bombs, and that led me to thinking about this. Say there is a nuclear explosion in the downtown of my US city. I survive relatively fine, but obviously the main part of the city has been destroyed, while major zones extending from the center were also badly damaged. What would be a good response to (a) survive and (b) help out the recovery effort?
Everybody is acting like its the apocalypse, just put on one off those N95 masks we all have from covid, get in your car and fuck off. Or walk, you can easily cover 30 km in a few hours to the next not destroyed city.
Edit: I meant kilometers.
Dude…how fast do you walk???
Sorry I meant kilometer, its like 19 miles. Which is doable in 6 - 8 hours.
In an irradiated wasteland.
Oh…yeah, I guess thats true. I was thinking you meant like 30 miles in 2-3 hours, which I won’t say is as fast as the flash…but maybe the flash’s infant baby?
Although, with me personally, I’d be like “uuuuggghhhhhh how long is this walking going to beeeee???”
And someone would say “we’ve been walking 45 minutes…so, maybe another 5 hours?”
“Ya know what? You guys go ahead without me. I’m just going to lay in the road and wait for the next bomb”
Pssshhhh!!! Walking…
A very fit athletic person who has done endurance training can do 30 miles in a day, but that’s not typical. Most people could do around 10+ if their life literally depended on it like in the aftermath of a nuke

Yeah I meant kilometers.
People in this thread are playing way too much Fallout lol.
If cities are being nuked it probably is the apocalypse.
