Fun fact

Batch · August 24, 2015, 11:16:56 PM

My fiance told me something about Fallout last night that i should have known.

Now the vaultboy. The reason he has his thumb up and squinting is because he is measuring how far away he is from an explosion.

Apparently when the bombs dropped, if you held out your thumb into the sky toward the mushroom cloud lining it up from the base of your thumb to the impact spot on the ground. If the cloud was over your thumb. You're in the explosion radius.....roughly.

oh yeahhh i saw that on imgur a couple days ago

i'll keep that in mind whenever an atomic bomb is dropped on la

I too, would enjoy the fateful seconds of knowing that I was most likely utterly fucked by being in the blast radius, and would give my thumb up of approval.

As well as hiding under school desks right?

I guess it was to give them comfort.

Isn't it the fallout zone, not the blast radius?

IIRC it's a myth. If you saw the cloud, your basically fucked.

just hide in a fridge

No, that's untrue on both counts. Measurement is wrong because, do to the fact that arm length and thumb size vary from person to person and that there are effects that persist in a nuclear fallout ouside of the blast radius, the "thumb" trick is completely bogus.

And the vault boy is just giving you a thumbs up:

Hey, sometimes a guy is just giving you a thumbs up. Not signaling his potential doom.
