Nothing I can do. As far as I know there is no bomb safety infrastructure near my house plus I'm afraid of getting trapped underground so I wouldn't want to risk sitting in one.

I'd crack a beer, sit out on my deck and call my family and close friends to say my goodbyes.

I assume pizza delivery times will be through the roof, so I'd try to get mine in ASAP.

"thank God, it can finally be over" would be my first thought, followed by hugging and petting my dogs until it happens.

If I’m in a country that isn’t at war, and has a strong military:

Ignore it and go about what I was doing. Later on, probably read about some idiot who sent the warning by accident.

Possibly, die in a fiery explosion.

I guess I'd seek shelter πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I will do the following:

Duck and cover

Double it and give it to the next person

If I'm at work, I go to the gym (the gym's in a cold war bomb shelter) if I'm at home I start heading north. Put a couple of mountains between me and the city.

I'd either go take a nap, or go hide in my basement. Not sure which.

Take me and my cat down to the basement with my phone, water, power bank and lantern/candles, call my mom so we could all be on the phone together, and hope I'm taken out instantly.

I'd be setting off the pair of sirens I own, then awaiting the inevitable. Thankfully I live in an area where the chance of being vaporized is quite high.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Seek immediate shelter, probably. And wonder why someone would send a ballistic missile to New Hampshire.

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm going to get some beer and weed and enjoy the rest of my day.
