Is this essentially like the old hide under the desk drills?
Somewhat, though the hiding under the desk was much more serious since that was to protect us from atomic bombs. We really are stupid when you think about it, lol.
Just hide under your chair and put your hands over your head and you should be alright.





In all seriousness, I guess I could see where that might be a good thing to do if you are far enough away from the blast to where your skin won't instantly melt off, but the shockwave from the blast will really rattle whatever structure you're in. If a roof is going to cave in, I'd rather be under a desk than sitting in one.
Wondering how the cameras survived the epic destruction they filmed. With steady footage nonetheless!
Good question...this attempts to explain it...

However, photography of nuclear tests has been well documented since 1945, with safeguards such as camera distance and special design features to withstand explosions. Despite these precautions, some cameras and film still do not survive the tests, filmmakers and historians said.

Because Android users are poor Mexicans according to Homeland Security.

If everyone puts the phones in their front pockets, the entire nation will be simultaneously masturbating.

I carry mine in a holster on the belt.

I was sitting at the lunch counter in a pretty busy drug store one day when everyone's phones started going off. Mine was one of the last.

Turned out to be an amber alert.

I turned the amber alerts off since then. It was a definite improvement.

I sent the message from the future, which is now in the past.
There's a lot of time travel going on now, I think.

I ordered 32 gigabytes of memory from Amazon the other night.

This is from the tracking:

Those are not real.


Can you touch them? Then they're real.


I don't think she'd let me.

So no, they aren't real.

More like "had intelligence indicators" that suggested something may occur.

I don't believe in coincidences anymore

Making a living and helping to pay for what I feel like is a leftist scare tactic.

After Israel was attacked yesterday you might be onto something. The southern border being overrun with illegal men from 18-35 y o.

If that's the case, there's some really bad stuff that will happen even in comparison to what has happened

When we get a weather warning from Alexa, we go out for dinner since others seems to stay in.

If such a small issue keeps people home, imagine how panicked they'll be when they get their National Security alert. They'll do exactly what they're told to do.

Lemmings is the end game.

Island Mexicans talk Mexican, thus you get the message in Mexican.
