Vault 001

This reminds of Fallout 3, doesn't it:

So, is the naive illustration of "preparation for nuclear war" depicted in F3's pre-war remains really just ironic fiction?

Imagine the impact of a 10 km asteroid on Earth, or an allout nuclear war,. or a lethal global epidemic. Would you book a place in one of these?

What if doomsday lasts longer than 1 year, which easily is the case in the above scenarios - does the worst case then become an even worse case?

I wouldn't go into one of these, considering the mentioned scenarios. Depending on the circumstances, survival can be more horrifying than the perspective of death. I would prefer to stay with and assist those I feel love and/or loyalty for, and once the time has come consider honourful suicide, or just let things happen to me, depending on what "things" are.

At one time, all things come to an end, and we all have to leave the show. The only real question is how we leave it: yelling, strampling, and hysterically acting, or - well, differently.

Yes it does. It so much does.
Jeez, some architects have clearly been gaming too much

If I'd book a place in one of those if I had the money? I don't think so. I don't think I could leave my friends to die while surviving myself.
Luckily I don't have to worry about this as I don't have the money and don't have the paranoia to think it's necessary

PS. we're all gonna die!!!!! Planet X is coming!!!!!!

Futuristic, bordering on subliminal adventure

Obvious scam is obvious.

Run rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to start another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
