Fixed.

But who the fuck is going to launch 500 nukes? 2,000? I mean come on now. That’d be absolutely dumb as shit.

And Great Britain is what, a third the size of California? Peace out colonials, nice knowing you if they launch more than 1.

If you are responding to a first strike and you only have 500 left, you don’t target a bunch of empty silos that just glassed you

Thats one of the reasons you don't launch all the silos.  Now they can either hit them and waste a bunch of their warheads,  or not hit them and not take out a bunch of your warheads.

So you're saying every person in California can be killed with three nukes?

I mean...

2 minutes to fill the diaper...
10 minutes to realize its full, mostly by the look on other peoples faces.
5 minutes of screaming to get his but wiped...
5 minutes listening to the problem
5 minutes demanding ice cream
5 minutes till ice cream delivered.
1/2 a second looking at that really bright light...

As long as they nuke Sheffield again like that I’m fine with it,

Coincidently a strange YouTube  video was recommended to me a few weeks ago about the royal observer corps  nuclear monitoring stations. These little shelters were all over the place, the idea was they would report the area and size of any blasts. They were staffed by civilians

Turns out I’ve been walking my dog past one for years. Often wondered what it was

Did the US have anything like this?

When these threads come up, I'm always in awe of how ignorant some people are of the type and effects of nuclear weapons, while simultaneously being so proud in their certainty of being the first to die.

"I live 20 miles as the crow flies from the Dr. Pepper bottling plant. You know how pilots love their Dr. Pepper! My kids will have to have me identified by my teeth when I turn into water vapour like Obi-Wan! "

Shit like this is why people make fun of Boomers.

I live south of the Crayola crayon factory, which Marines depend upon for sustenance ... so we are for sure a target.
