Recently, I have been pondering the end of all human life due to a Nuclear Winter. This Nuclear Winter would be created by an exchange of nuclear gifts between our world’s most advanced technological countries. Perhaps we can call this gift exchange World War III.
Anyways, after the burning of cities, dust particles get into the atmosphere and block out all sunlight. Soon afterwards, agriculture fails all over the world, and then in the mass starvation which follows the eating of other people becomes chic. On the bright side, bright like a nuclear flash, maybe some mutants will be able to make snow angels in the fallout.
- And I have to wonder, have the affects of undead armies been programmed into the >computer simulations< done by our government scientists.
- Carl Sagan always makes me feel warm and happy as he speaks about the end of human kind. >Video<

flies over High G's Nuclear Winter Thread Squeeeeaking- gone now.
brrrrrrrrr
Toddles off to prepare the hypothetical mushroom sheds for said hypothetical nuclear winter...
I think it will be too cold for even mushrooms.
Hey, there is Nuclear Winter stuff on youtube. We should make some community videos too:
It certainly doesn't help when we have idiots like >this< running around.
I'm going to start knitting sweaters now. I'll make a killing when the nuclear winter comes!

Do not put my initials on mine.
I love Nuclear War, who wants to play.
It is a game no one ever really wins at.
I think it will be too cold for even mushrooms.*nods* Indeed, hence the getting the 'Sheds' ready for said mushrooms to grow in.
*Ponders*
Hmmm, now that you kind of mention it, I'll probably make them high angle 'A' type frame roofs to help the snow slide off and not build up too much.
What would the sheds do?
There will be limited or no sunlight, and there won't be any power; unless you have access to a nuclear power plant that didn't get destroyed. (I wonder how long gasoline would still be around; my guess is only months.)
One could use a water wheel and an electric generator, or a steam-powered generator. But the action of such devices would attract other survivors who would come and try to take your delicious mushrooms.
Mushrooms like to do it in the dark...
The walls and roof of the sheds keep the heat from the rotting stuff in...
*toddles off to gather rotting...stuff...to grow said mushroom in...
How many people can you feed using a 20'x20' shed? And could that yield be maintained for 10-15 years?
@HighG
It's possible to make diesel fuel from animal/human fat so running out of gas won't be a problem.

Mushrooms don't contain all the nutrients needed to sustain human life so it wouldn't matter how productive your mushroom gardens are you would still starve.
I always wondered what to do with the trimmings from my bipedal captures...@HighG
It's possible to make diesel fuel from...human fat so running out of gas won't be a problem.
Gravy!!

Fixed for you.
This thread reminds me of my childhood but it really just does not seem likely anymore. We have traded peace (more or less) through mutual terror with the danger that a bad mistake is utterly and completely devastating to a world where the use of the odd nuke is is more likely but a mass exchange of them is less probable.

Nukes are not chic' anymore.
Now we have battle-field robots and suicide-bombers!
Forget about all this nuclear war stuff. We never have to worry about such events every happening.
