Midnight is a nuclear war, not extinction. There will be humans around to move the clock, if only briefly. >

Even if there were full scale nuclear war there’d still be plenty of humans around. >

All around. Bits of us on the walls, bits of us in the atmosphere... >

I know you’re joking but people vastly overestimate the blast radius. All the major western cities are gone but most of the smaller ones would survive. I doubt people in South America would be significantly affected directly. The western world ending would be a problem for them though. >

What about the resultant nuclear winter though? >

That was interesting, thanks >

Will the last person to leave the city please turn out the lights >

Sure there will. As the Doomsday clock is located in Chicago, while a major target, not a primary one. Also it's now currently set at 100 seconds to Midnight. >

Chicago would probably survive for quite awhile.  It’d be hard to tell if Chicago had been already hit yet or not. >

They'd just collectively shoot any missiles out of the sky themselves >

You talk shit about the Cubs or Sox and we'll fling those fukers right back at ya where da sun don't shine. >

You can talk shit about the Bears, though. Apparently. >

What about Michael Scarn? He's used to the Threat Level Midnight >

The greatest movie of all time >

Must of been a very short shower if this is as far as you got in this thought. >

We could move it preemptively so that we have to start launching the nukes >

Let's just hope spring forward and all that doesn't get to us >

Last one alive lock the door, turn off the lights, and move the clock. >
