A cockroach could survive, so why can't we?[quote]
because of the radaition and i assume cockroachs have a special adaption that makes them able to survive the radiation plus theres a chance that people could turn into zombies to O_o
Quite easily really. Calculate the spread of nuclear fallout and how much of it would be in my vicinity - and the half-life of the radioactive material. I would then create a company called Vault-Tec build A series of vaults for post-apocalyptic survivors and give them Pip-boys.
And no, you can't just come out after some time and expect to be able to walk around without incident.
If you have all eternity, 100,000 years down the road will cure your problems.
But the radiation in reality is your biggest problem. Background levels won't stop being highly dangerous for thousands of years. Then you would have predators, people who want to kill you. Those are fun.
The good news is you probably won't survive. A nuclear war is the only thing where I would hope to die now rather than later, for death is inevitable. Die now, fast and painless, or die later, slow and terrible.
Yes, it'll take that long for it to be completely and entirely safe. The only way to survive a nuclear war would be to find some sort of way to live self-sufficiently in an underground shelter. Though such facilities are years away from being realized. Decades perhaps.
i would find a scientist to bred me with a cockroach so i can withstand the radiation and get the scientist to make a cloner so i could clone my favorite foods/beverages
