   Apparently it's not so hard to survive a nuclear war. Not as hard as I thought, anyway.

         @doates Yeah, but they're not as hard to make as I had thought. Nor do they have to last as long as I thought.

               @doates It pays of in the apocalypse. I guess.

               @doates They don't have to be. You only need to be buried under a couple of meters of dirt to cut gamma ray exposure to safe levels. A decently sized concrete basement would do.

         @greenenchilada According to conventional wisdom, unless you're hit directly, a bunker buried under a couple of meters of regular dirt and filled with 5-8 weeks worth of supplies is actually sufficient.

            @ceruleanspark because the bombs go off in the air. It pollutes the air, but doesn't last very long. The closer they detonate to the ground, the more unlovable the land becomes, and the longer the effect.

               @renovatedkitchen unlivable not unlovable. My phone is unlovable.

                  @renovatedkitchen So unless you're living within the impact zone, that's not going to be a huge issue. And if you are, you're going to be altogether too busy being converted into radioactive vapor to care.

                     @ceruleanspark precisely. In reality though, in the cold war, the US and Russia both had enough nukes to bomb the world many times over.

               @renovatedkitchen actually, detonating bombs in air causes more damage due to shockwaves. Hiroshima and Nagasaki prove this.

                  @techdisk but it doesn't last as long because it doesn't contaminate the soil
