      The seed that planted the idea was some shit tv movie. If someone had made reagan watch "Threads" I think it would have upped the overall chance by a decent percentage.

      Cw: don't watch Threads unless you want to be haunted for a month or two. That ending. Hoo boy.

        Yeah Threads is brutal, watched it as a kid and it definitely fucked me up but gave me good takes on nuclear war, I feel :doomjak:

          Ouch. I watched it when I was 35. I can't imagine watching it as a kid.

            Yeah in retrospect I was maybe a little young to be watching it (and I say this as someone who watched, like, Robocop as a kid and was fine) lmao
