North Korea launches ballistic missile across northern Japan, falls into sea

[Edwardo Piet]

Yes apart from the fact that:


He has a point here.

So my next question would be "Would the worst possible botching be worse than what I'd suffer in a nuclear war?"

Yes.  In a nuclear war you might be painlessly incinerated in a millisecond.   People who tried to blow their own brains out have missed and ended up with a deep, ghastly open trench across where their eye balls and sinuses use to be for life.

Couldn't a similar thing happen if I'm BARELY in cover in a nuclear war? So the blast is so strong it gets through the bunker but the bunker protects me enough that rather than getting incinerated in a millisecond I get severely injured to fuck, paralyzed and die a slow agonizing death?

Hmm. So it looks like the best option is to stay out into the open so I can feel the full force of blast and die instantly

In all seriousness, I'm not convinced by the whole "quick death is better" thing. A more painful death in a millisecond is far worse than a slow death, IMO.

Huh? I don't get it. Is that something nitrogen gas would happen in a nuclear war?

Nope. If you are concerned about suffering a lingering death from radiation poisoning, and want to end your life quickly and painlessly, the nitrogen exit method is the real deal. If you manage to get fried in a nuclear fireball (that's my big brother, lol), you will never know what hit you.

See above. I think instant deaths are often more painful.
