A genie has appeared before you to inform you that nuclear war will breakout in 72 hours. You can't do anything to stop it, but you can do anything to protect yourself. What do you do?

Ok, so can the genie build me an awesome Vault like structure? Cause if so, that with room for like a thousand people and 500 years of resources

It's about time someone said what we were all thinking.

[RJMacready73]

Not enough time to get the resources needed to survive a nuclear winter not to mention the aftermath, I'd simply spend it with my family telling them nothing and booking the best room in the best hotel in the center of the city so that when the bomb drops were all incinerated together in a flash, I've watched the Road and I want no part in that inevitability

 

[Insane Metal]

Nothing. I'm broke so... just wait for it.

 

[AJUMP23]

Get food and get to a large empty space. Download as much info on building repairing and growing as I can.

get more weapons and ammo.

 

[poppabk]

See you on the other side.

Jumping on the first plane back home to south america and hope for the best.

I'd goto Hawaii to hang with California and Alaska.

Tell the genie to create the starship Enterprise from The Next Generation with me on it. Then I use it to beam up everyone I care about then chill in orbit and watch the fun with all the future tech.

 

[Mossybrew]

Check myself into the ER, having visual & auditory hallucinations of a genie telling me apocalyptic shit.

 

[WoJ]

Head to Wyoming or the Dakotas. No one lives there. Maybe Canada does the same reason.

 

[jason10mm]

Nimitz class aircraft carrier (nuclear engines, so 30 yrs of power) with flight deck and parts of the hanger fitted out as greenhouses and livestock pens, couple hundred loyal crew, a hundred family and friends, and a few hundred technicians, engineers, and scientists, to reboot society after we sail around for a decade or 2 until the dust clears.

Oh yeah, a couple score of the best hookers and a few metric tons of blow

Walk to the nearest bunker which is a short walk away

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Find the nearest sex worker house, take away my virginity, eat a shit ton of coconut brownies, and then go full Shin Megami Tensei, and join the Law-adjacent people that I have been avoiding all my life.

Don't think I will live through a nuclear war, I live in a shithole city, with shithole healthcare, so might as well make the most of my existence.

 

[Wildebeest]

To increase your survival chances, you should neck a large dose of iodine pills, because iodine blocks radioactive particles from taking up residence in your thyroid gland. Some people prefer the Hitler's bunker strategy and having enough of another type of pill for their whole family.

 

[j0hnnix]

Get on Neogaf and see if there is a thread on what to do during a nuclear attack.

 

[Venom Snake]

I'm not taking any chances:

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Honestly the survivors will envy the dead in that case. I’d probably just try to make my peace with everyone and accept my fate and hope to see everyone on the other side.

 

[Madflavor]

Are we talking total nuclear apocalypse? I'd do nothing. I'd spend time with my family and wait to the end. I've seen The Road. No sense living through that. Let humanity die and maybe in a couple dozen million years nature can take another crack at intelligent life.

 

[DeafTourette]

1st wish: a huge underground bunker with rooms for 200 people

2nd wish: all my close friends and all the family members I can name to be with me

3rd wish: endless food, drink, alcohol, clean running water, power, entertainment and toiletries to last us all 500 years.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Get away from the coast. Probably won't be so bad in Iowa

And couldn't that genius with his powers stop the war?

 

[wondermega]

Live in LA so I am screwed. In all likelihood my GF and I would go up the street to her parent's place and spend out the last few day(s) there. Barring that, there's a nice dive bar about a mile away, probably don't need to see that shit sober.

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

I'm guessing take a trip and schedule a tour of one of those government bunkers on the day of the bombs dropping.

 

[jason10mm]

And couldn't that genius with his powers stop the war?

Quite frankly the best counter is to probably get the US to launch a pre-emptive strike. I doubt the Russian nuclear defense is really in any shape to actually respond quickly enough. Couple clean hits on Moscow or wherever Putin is, plus a few on air strike and naval bases and I think we could walk away clean. England and France aren't gonna tango with us, neither will India and I don't think Pakistan has the capability to hit us even if they wanted to. North Korea is always a bit of a wild card so we'd probably go ahead and hit them along with Russia. Not really sure about China, that's another place that probably has waaaaay too much "single point of failure" procedures to be able to retaliate quickly even though they probably have a pretty distributed network.

Reality is a first strike MIGHT actually work if it gets the guy with the codes, especially in a system with poor redundancy and high levels of corruption. Lose a single capital city and some military bases versus global catastrophe?

Since it is a genie, and you mentioned Vault, I bet you get the fallout "vault fate", as they are trickster like this one:

 

[Northeastmonk]

Fly to Thailand, rent a room, take a bunch of viagra, invite the two hottest adult Thai models I can find. Bomb drops while we are all passed out. Live, laugh, love.

 

[March Climber]

Plane to Antarctica. Near zero percent chance of anyone caring to fire anything near there, let alone remembering that landmass even exists.

[Blade2.0]

Steal a car and have fun for three days

Hookers and blow

At this point, I don't think hookers are gonna hook. What's the use of currency if the world turns to shit? People saying hookers can't be serious.

Also, don't you think the hookers would also want to spend their last days doing what they want to do? Instead of, you know, fucking some random for some measly money that's not gonna matter in 72 hours?

 

[ConkerTheSquirrel.]

I'd focus on what matters most:

Are you trying to tell us somethimg OP?

Plan a long plane trip with the family, so when this happens we will be above the clouds.

The premise is that the genie appears before you, not a genie appears before everyone.
