A nuclear war erupted and annihilated most of humanity and wasted the Earth. The very few survivors are in a perpetual struggle to survive, and many more die every day from famine, radiation exposure, conflicts, etc. Would you actually prefer to be one of those remaining survivors or to just be dead and be done with it?

@ComeTail I wouldn't know, I never watched that series. But I'm sure world-ending nuclear war is a common trope.

Being dead is most boring, so surviving would be less boring.
No, this isn't my signature.

True true. What im most worried about is famine. Nuclear war would surely damage the ecosystem. So the best chance of survival is perhaps eating canned food.

@NS2D You do realize it would be a miserable existence and nothing about it would be fun, right? 🤔

@Zarutaku Well, you technically can't be bored if you're dead? But I'm sure trying to survive in such a world certainly can't be boring... not that it would be the kind of excitement someone would usually wish to experience.

Sure, if you don't exist anymore, then you can't do anything, which is boring.

Where there's life, there's hope. I'd prefer the remaining people to struggle and eventually terraform the planet once again. I'd like to think I would also struggle to the bitter end, even if it's like Wolf's Rain epilogue.

@fleurbleue I don't have any logical reason for it. It's just a longing that I've always had that I can't explain

That sounds awfully optimistic. Isn't terraforming pretty much sci-fi stuff to this day?

@NS2D So you have an unexplainable desire for society to fall and live in violence (please never become a politician).

Depends, if one piece has finished, I am not surviving long. But if one piece is on going, I am surviving and keeping Oda alive.

Can I reply to current threads?;_;

The answer is to try to survive but the possibility of me dying is high because of radiation, humans, etc.

When the topic is Mars it is, but presumably Earth still is 90% of the way there even after all the disasters given that it sustains some forms of life lol.

Why

I don't know how to react to this sentence, saying no seems like a bad idea, saying yes will be weird I think??

Of course I'd rather survive. I might finally become a warlord and build a harem in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Most of us here would want to survive it because anime/video games have brainrotted us to believe that we'd be the main character and would save humanity afterwards and would have a harem of post-apocalyptic women.


What's the difference?

Do die in it.

Plain and simple, you younger gen have zero clues of what a nuclear holocaust really means. Absolutely no idea, you all need a crash course on 80's anime/movies dealing with such subject to start having an idea of what would mean to be a survivor.

After all Nikita Khrushchev made a famous quote: "After nuclear war, the survivors would envy the dead'. "Because there is this sense of...if you survived, there is no more law and order, there is no more rule of law, there is no government."

Also, the probability of someone surviving a nuclear war slim to none. Back in the 80's scholars/US & Soviet gov't etc, punched the numbers and they came up with a rather chilling fact. In the first 60/92 minutes at least 60% of the world population would die off, just from the bombs .... So yeah I'll prefer to die than survive thank you very much.

lol, as if those things ever protected anyone

when the government itself isn't victimizing you it's siding with those who are
