If the worst came to the worst and things escalated

I'd curl up into a little ball and hope for death.

My wife and i always say the same when watching stuff like the Walking Dead/TLOU. I just don't think i could be bothered with that life of struggling day to day. Think i'd rather just end it all!

I would send my wife and kids off to the blast zone so that they get completely incinerated first in a rather painless way. After I don't have to worry about keeping them safe I'd go lone wolf in the woods and become a survivalist. If anyone ever came across me I would tell them my sad history about how I lost my wife and kids to the original blast. This would explain my lone wolf survivalist, untrusting ways.

I think it would be epic. I could even carve small figures of them that I keep in the sleeping part of my camp.

Your going full Wolverine.
 
Wouldn't worry too much. Can't really conceive what it would be like.

Also. Give it a few years and country will have been run down so far might not even be a target! :D

I wouldn't say it will never happen. As if a small device is used it would be very hard for it not to escalate

EP3 TLOU Giving you ideas :eek:
 
There have been many 'close calls' in regards to launch of nuclear weapons (Wiki link) but the closest was on October 27 1962. Disaster was averted, the bottom line is that world leaders are usually the type to bluster and show off regarding their nuclear arsenal but none of them have the balls to go down in history as the guy that ended human civilisation.

No, the thing that will end us is climate change caused by human greed and capitalism. Humans may live to see the 22nd century, we will not see the 23rd. Life on this planet will continue just fine but the human species will come to an end in the 6th mass extinction event that is already well underway (Wiki link) and by now we're too far in to stop it (I estimate we passed the point of no return in the late 60s or early 70s). That's fine though, mass extinctions are a vital part of evolution on this planet. Our only hope as humans is to seed human colonies on other planets/solar systems before that happens.

But I have no children, I'll be long dead by then, so I don't care. Yes I'm aware that this is exactly the attitude that got us in this mess in the first place, but c'est la vie, maybe that's why humans don't deserve to be the dominant species on this planet anymore.
