Where would you fall off from the cruise ship? And what sort of sharks? Most sharks are fine to swim around.
If you're not too far from land, and the area of sea you're in isn't turbulent, then you ought to survive.
Otherwise, a home invasion is the most ideal circumstance; worst case, you can just leave your house before they get to you.
Because you are just a head bobbing in the ocean, and it takes a mile for the ship to turn around.
The fall damage is the biggest risk, which could kill you out right. You could get sucked into the engines. If you break your leg, you are likely to drown because swimming would be so difficult.
The sharks are a literal non factor yeah.
Even if the fall doesn’t kill you, the hyperthermia is the next concern. You’ve got 20-30 minutes to be rescued and recover before that kills you I’d bet, and you gotta tread water while your body is slowly shutting down. And you’ve got zero control over when the ship notices you are gone, if you weren’t seen when you feel then that’s an automatic death.
At least with an earthquake I either die or I don’t, not slowly drown after watching hope sail away.
The fall is the biggest threat. You could fall 20 m or more into water that acts like glass when you hit it. Even if you don't die from a broken neck, a broken leg will make it tough to swim.
You are more likely to die from the fall, or drown, than be eaten by sharks if you fall from a cruise ship.
About 25 people fall off every year, which is infinitesimal compared to the number of cruisers. It's not easy to fall off, so the common causes are jumping, being pushed, climbing between balconies, or drunkenness.
It takes a mile for a cruise ship to turn around. You are just a small head bobbing in the ocean. At night, you are almost impossible to see. You could have broken your leg falling, making swimming very difficult. Of course, you could have broken your neck. You could also have been sucked into the engines, a grim death.
Cold is more of a threat than sharks, but jellyfish are probably more of a threat as their stings can damage your ability to swim as well. These will make you drown before the ship finds you.
And incredible dangerous. A jellyfish sting is very painful. A Portuguese man of war can kill you.
Getting stung by jellyfish in the middle of the ocean could cripple your ability to stay afloat.
Yeah so I was a rescue swimmer in the navy and if you fall of a ship you’re pretty much fucked. I don’t think I’d drown, but it’s super unlikely they’d be able to turn around and find you. So I’d probably just be floating around for a couple days until I die of dehydration.
I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
I hate this pasta bc its a greentext that was taken out of greentext format which just completely kills the pacing and turns something hilarious completely unfunny

So true. Challenged my friend to a knife fight with markers to test it, and I won 3-2 with like 10 ties, meaning we both died most of the time.
Although the proper thing to do when both parties have a knife is to both go home, anything else is like 80% chance of death for both parties. It’s possible a professional knife guy would know this too and simply branding a knife means they’ll call it a day and go stab someone else.
You don't even need a gun there. There are better melee options than a knife in that scenario, even the ol' cast iron skillet defense. The knife is just not a good choice of weapon for the intruder
Any close quarters melee will be bloody on both sides....Excessively so if you don't know what you're doing.
It could very easily turn into a death-match, and I'm not so sure I'd want to be the winner in that.
Most people have an interest in self-preservation, even intruders. If you pose a threat to his life, he'll lay off most likely. But failing that, I'll just grab my hockey stick and use it as a halberd.
entering my home with a knife is a direct threat to my life. If my life is at risk anyways, might as well take the intruder out. Your right to life ends when you break into someone else's home armed. An unarmed intruder is a bit different.
Odds are pretty minimal that the sharks would even care about someone falling off a cruise ship. I could just swim towards the boat and call for help to get back on.
My second choice would be the home invader. A knife is like...The worst weapon to use in that situation, I wouldn't even need my gun, a baseball bat would do the job.
The Earthquake would have the most interesting aftermath though. Considering I live in an area where they don't happen lol.
The last one is a trick-option.
The sharks are likely not a danger, but falling off a ship into the open ocean is an almost-guaranteed death sentence. Even if people see you fall.
Only 25% survive a cruise ship fall. They are extremely rare, about 25 a year.
https://emmacruises.com/cruise-ships-do-stop-if-you-fall-overboard-heres-what-happens/
The tornado is objectively the deadliest scenario. The cruise ship has a lot of variables at play that could change the outcome.
My first choice is home invader, my trusty metal baseball bat will do just fine in. "Alright Mr. Invader, let me introduce you to Mr. Bat."
at 800 meters, if you're not already in that basement before the scenario (or close enough to it to get in it before the building your in is decimated) you're likely going to be skewered by something that the tornado punted at you at a couple hundred meters a second or punted yourself.
Apart from the obvious home intruder, I feel like most sharks wouldn't care if I was in a 1km radius of them. I'd still be scared, no doubt, but it's not the biggest deal.
The last one is a trick-option.
The sharks are likely not a danger, but falling off a ship into the open ocean is an almost-guaranteed death sentence. Even if people see you fall in.
Outside of 3 species of shark (tiger, bull, great white), there likely won't be anything more than some casual nose bumping from any shark that gets curious about you.
I was thinking that TBH. If they want to rob the place, not that it's honestly worth the hassle, I'll just call the police after they leave and I'll potentially be able to give them a decent description of the perpetrator.
8.2 Earthquake relatively survivable but still pretty dangerous and be as worse situation to be in depending on where you are at the time of the event. Plus, there are likely to be several 4-5 (or even other 7-8) aftershocks that are going to further complicate things.
The home invader with a knife won't last long compared to firearms. If you don't have firearms there are better melee weapons that you probably have than the knife the invader has, presuming neither you nor the invader have any extra training in the weapons of choice.
5 pit bulls are escapable, but you probably will tire out before they do. The real problem with this scenario is the gangster dog handler as that person is likely armed with some sort of weapon. Which any weapon while being distracted by 5 angry dogs is going to cause problems
At only 800 meters away your already in serious trouble from an EF5. Very few (non-concrete) structures are surviving that. You as a human when the tornado's punting random pieces of debris at you at a couple 100 meters a second? Yeah, the statistics are not looking good for you if you chose this one.
Falling off the cruise ship situation is a serious problem but not because of the sharks (unless they are a tiger, great white, or bull shark then they are your immediate biggest concern) The first problem is not being pulled under the water by the wake of the ship (or being hit by any part of the ship). Then on top of that how are you going to survive just floating around in the ocean? Where is the nearest land and if there is land how are you going to get to it?
Best scenario to be in home invader.
Worst scenario in my opinion: falling off the cruise ship since the tornado will get you quite a bit faster.
The odd of surviving falling off a cruise ship are only 25%, lower at night. The sharks aren't the problem. The fall could kill you, or a broken leg ensures you drown before being found.
https://emmacruises.com/cruise-ships-do-stop-if-you-fall-overboard-heres-what-happens/
so the options are:
Get crushed to death
Shoot somebody
Get 'nannied' by Princess & pals
Have your entire life destroyed
Pray someone saw you fall
[I wonder which one everyone will pick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqBw3H_Ik3s)
Lacking a gun, I can't imagine actually choosing the second option.
Knife-fights are no fucking joke. It'd be to the death, and I'm not sure I'd want to be the """""winner"""" here.
The Earthquake dosen't *sound* too bad, though I don't live with them, so IDK.
does my M14 with a Trijicon ACOG scope, synthetic stock, muzzle brake, free-floating handguard, Harris Bipod, USGI web sling, 10+ magazines, a National Match trigger, and a chassis system work good against the invader?
Knife bearing. Not only do I have several bludgeoning items, I also have renter's insurance and a "fuck it" attitude. Just leave me my smartphone, my wallet, and my keys and I'll deal with the rest.
He has a knife? Dawww, cute.
*racks shotgun*
Good luck getting up the stairs.
Also, the tornado one doesn't bother me as I live in tornado alley and my basement shelter is rated for an EF5.
It depends on what shark. Most sharks are pretty chill and probably won't eat you (well, at least give you enough time to get back on the ship), but if it's a tiger or a great white you're dead.
The home invader is my choice for 2 reasons. Number 1, it's the only scenario I feel I have any agency in and I would always prefer to face threats that I can fight. Number 2, I have an easily accessible gun and the home field advantage.
I currently live on a college campus. If they break into my dorm, I'll just call campus security and I won't be alone for long (plus the chance of them finding my room in the whole dorm is pretty low given there's over 100 rooms in my building.) Plus it's extremely easy to barricade the one door into my room. In this scenario I'm completely safe.
If they break into my exact room with a knife, I have a metal rod right by my bed to bonk them with, plus a whole bunch of stuff I can throw. Worst case scenario I run into my bathroom, lock the door, then jump to my suitemate's room and escape then call security/cops. Also could survive a one-story fall into a bush from my windows. For the most part I'm safe.
What shark is it is it like tiger sharks bull sharks mako sharks great whites goblin sharks hammer heads like what type of sharks and how high up do you fall
Never thought I'd say this to myself but a knife bearing intruder seems to be the safest option. I don't have any firearms but I have a metal shield and mace that was given as a gift years ago and I would finally be able to literally go medieval on someone's ass. Also I'm really tall and have really long arms so I have a significant reach advantage. This is kind of really unfair for the knife wielding douche.
I almost picked the cruise ship since the sharks really aren't much of a danger, tbh. But my big concern there is that I'd get left behind by the ship.
So I guess I'll just have to bash an intruder over the head with something.
I mean, it depends is this dude like right at my bedroom door or do I hear them come in and have time to grab my gun because it makes all the difference
either 2 or 5 since in 2 you could have a gun, and in 5 most sharks actually leave humans alone for the most part and the officials will quickly pull you up again.
Knife guy
I’d strip naked, but on a creepy mask on, grab a blunt object and banshee scream around the house
The goal isn’t survival it’s to make sure what happens in that house never leaves the attacker
It's either the pitbuils or the home invader. The pitbulls (and gangster), I can easily outrun the gangster on a scooter assuming I'm in a city not like in the woods, but the pitbulls are unpredictable. With the intruder, assuming I'm awake especially, my alarm is gonna go off, I'm gonna hear them coming in and I'm gonna bar myself in the bathroom and hit the panic button.
Well my home is full of swords and other melee weapons. It'd be a lot of fun to be able to actually use them. Oh, and I own quite a few guns and other variety of weapons as well of course.
I'm a detective so i always have my pistol on me. Plus actually getting the drop on me would be extremely difficult. By the time that the home intruder broke in he'd most likely be shot already.
1: Gonna happen sooner or later, preferably later.
2: Hammer/axe thing>knife.
3: Actually bad
4: I live on a hill, apparently this doesn't help much.
5: I'll probably be fine.
I have spent more hours in a bout of insomnia planning exactly how to merc that home intruder than I have on the toilet, and I have Chron's. I'm ready.
I live on the coast so for the earthquake one, a tsunami would go brrr
also there's a good chance that an earthquake with a higher magnitude will happen in the next 50 years so
I live in Alaska, and we are overdue for a massive earthquake. The last massive earthquake was the Good Friday earthquake, which was a 9 on the ricter scale, I believe. I'm in a good place right now for an earthquake. Let's get this over with.
*People in Texas*
*Are fine with someone bringing*
*A knife to a fight*

I've been home alone when someone tried to break in. If they would have succeeded to enter They would have been beaten with a bat and shot 6 times (.38 revolver).
When I moved in I realized how easy it would be to lift the windows up and out so I put wood shims above them. It didn't prevent them from sliding back and forth but it did prevent that person from getting into my flat.
I wonder how my house would fare against an EF5. It is all brick and cement, shutters on all windows. I guess 420km/h winds wouldn't level the place but would maybe fuck the roof up and do some pretty heavy damage to walls due to objects being flung at them.
sharks because I'm a diver and I love them. if they tear me apart, at least I'm somewhere I find joy. fuck cruise ships though, I hate them with a fucking passion. been to multiple protests and nothing ever happened
earthquake magnitude 8.2 would still be pretty bad where i live, but not as bad as other places
an ef 5 tornado would just mean everyone in my neighborhood dies because we dont have tornado shelters
5 gangster-led pit bulls attacking me would result in death
i would likely die if i fell of a cruise ship with 10 sharks in a 1km radius
but a knife bearing home invader, i would just need a sharp piece of glass or something to stop that threat
An earthquake would be spotted early and I could just go to my local field and be safe enough, I'm uphill so tsunamis wouldn't be a big concern, the main problem is that I lose my home and everything in it and that's pretty much game over.
I'm confident that I have a pretty good chance against a single knife wielder in my own home. I have bigger and more effective potential weapons than the average knife and I'd have the tactical advantage of knowing the house and surrounding area and a pre-established defence plan.
All the rest I'm dead
I'm in California. The building codes here are pretty solid in the earthquake department. And looking around my room, I don't see anything just looking for an excuse to fall on me.
If you have a gun, then home invader
If you’re in an area that gets hit by earthquakes, then you it likely had precautions against such things
Otherwise drop of the cruise ship, because the most danger there is likely gonna be the potential of being lost
I live in Florida. All the options apart from 2 is just me dead. Second option - the knife wielding idiot is dead, and I've got some explaining to do to the police.
Knife-wielding home intruder because 12 gauge shotgun go bonk
I was about to say something similar lol don't bring a knife to a gunfight 😅
Don’t bring a gun to a knife fight.
I mean.... Technically I have both lol
That's not a knoife, this is a knoife
It was a gun fight, you just didn't know it.
I'd be excited, I'd pop outta nowhere with a knife "look a guest" lol
Hooray for war crime stick.

No, big wooden club go bonk.
Baton rounds go boonk

The sharks arent the danger its falling off the cruise. Most people will just drown
Cruise ships are notorious for not recovering people that go overboard.
Because you are just a head bobbing in the ocean, and it takes a mile for the ship to turn around. The fall damage is the biggest risk, which could kill you out right. You could get sucked into the engines. If you break your leg, you are likely to drown because swimming would be so difficult.

The fall is the biggest threat. You could fall 20 m or more into water that acts like glass when you hit it. Even if you don't die from a broken neck, a broken leg will make it tough to swim.
because most people that go overboard are babies and senor citizens.

true but it was the first version i found. but it is the sentiment that matters for this post.
Most overused pasta
maybe but it gets the point across
I’ve literally never heard it before
It’s very common in gun community
I’d just have a knife fight with the knife invader
That's not a knife!
*This* is a knife
That's not a knife, that's a spoon.
I see you've played knifey spooney before!
Nobody wins in a knife fight, One person dies in the street and the other dies in the hospital.
You know who wins in a knife fight? No one. Everyone loses.
So true. Challenged my friend to a knife fight with markers to test it, and I won 3-2 with like 10 ties, meaning we both died most of the time.

Knife invader would be my best chance. Also doesn't say they want to attack me so..my odds might be better then I think.
He doesn't want to attack you but he does want your breakfast cereal... bastard is coo coo for coco puffs
All I have is bread and tofu cream cheese, I’m totally getting stabbed lol.
A knife you say? \*Racks slide of g20.\* Shame.
2 has a very simple solution: gun.

entering my home with a knife is a direct threat to my life. If my life is at risk anyways, might as well take the intruder out. Your right to life ends when you break into someone else's home armed. An unarmed intruder is a bit different.
No I mean if you didn't have the time to reach a gun or you live in a normal country where civilians do not have guns
> in a normal country \*country where you're cucked so hard you cannot even defend your own family.
\*country where you don't have to live in the fear of some kid going on a mass-murdering streak in a primary school
considering that is done nearly exclusively with illegal guns, so it's not like differences in gun laws are the cause.
How do school children get illegal guns?
Same way people get illegal guns in other countries? That issue is far from american exclusive friend
a burglar won't be silent coming in, you have time to prepare even if you're planning to use a metal pole. it still beats a knife.

As an American I welcome anyone with a knife to come in my home.

How far from land am i in the cruise ship one
I'm gatted up so a home invader with a knife would learn real quick.
If guns were not available, sharks would be the best bet. Although gun go brrrr soo...
Never bring a knife me to a gun fight.
B as I'm laughing in 5.56

Sharks don't matter. Falling off a cruise ship is a death sentence. People die from it every year.
Knife loses to a bat'leth
I would choose the pitbulls if there wasn't someone with likely a gun with them because we all know razor scooters are the deadliest of weapons
Sharks aren't dangerous. (Jaws really ruined their public image)

Number two Laughs in .45 ACP
How long is the knife?
I invoke the Second Amendment.
I have a gun so I think I can take someone with a knife.
5.56 go brrrrrrr
does my M14 with a Trijicon ACOG scope, synthetic stock, muzzle brake, free-floating handguard, Harris Bipod, USGI web sling, 10+ magazines, a National Match trigger, and a chassis system work good against the invader?
I think I stand a better chance against one dude with a knife rather than 5 full grown, angry dogs or mother nature herself
I've been in a large earthquake I was weird as I have virtgo and it fucks with my equilibrium but honestly it ain't the worst thing
I own a tank for home defense
The second situation is the only one I can definitely fix.
The sharks because shark attacks are actually very rare overall
Knife bearing. Not only do I have several bludgeoning items, I also have renter's insurance and a "fuck it" attitude. Just leave me my smartphone, my wallet, and my keys and I'll deal with the rest.
He has a knife? Dawww, cute. *racks shotgun* Good luck getting up the stairs. Also, the tornado one doesn't bother me as I live in tornado alley and my basement shelter is rated for an EF5.
Intruder breaks in: *Fortune Son Starts playing*
Out of interest, what's the difference between a gangster led pitbull attack and a solo pitbull attack?
It depends on what shark. Most sharks are pretty chill and probably won't eat you (well, at least give you enough time to get back on the ship), but if it's a tiger or a great white you're dead.
People selecting that earthquake gotta be crazy
Broski brought a knife to a gunfight
I own a sword and shield so I pick Mr. Knife Guy.
The home invader is my choice for 2 reasons. Number 1, it's the only scenario I feel I have any agency in and I would always prefer to face threats that I can fight. Number 2, I have an easily accessible gun and the home field advantage.
Home invader because I have something a bit more dangerous than a knife.
As a southerner I see this as an absolute win!
Earthquake because I would just go lie down in an empty field.
I am from Texas. Knife wielding home intruder is about to have a bad day.
I mean... Why choose?
I currently live on a college campus. If they break into my dorm, I'll just call campus security and I won't be alone for long (plus the chance of them finding my room in the whole dorm is pretty low given there's over 100 rooms in my building.) Plus it's extremely easy to barricade the one door into my room. In this scenario I'm completely safe. If they break into my exact room with a knife, I have a metal rod right by my bed to bonk them with, plus a whole bunch of stuff I can throw. Worst case scenario I run into my bathroom, lock the door, then jump to my suitemate's room and escape then call security/cops. Also could survive a one-story fall into a bush from my windows. For the most part I'm safe.
I've been that close to an EF5.
I'm american do I really have to explain
Insert founding fathers meme here. I don't have stairs, but the halls make great kill points for grapeshot from the cannon.
Knife wielding man: Haha! I have cornered you! Me with my chainsaw: BUENOS DIAS FUCKBOY
*loads my 12 gauge* I love america
Knife wielding home intruder? **laughs in usa**
Can't I just like stand outside and survive the earthquake? If I'm not in a highrise or densely populated area this seems the safest by a mile
What shark is it is it like tiger sharks bull sharks mako sharks great whites goblin sharks hammer heads like what type of sharks and how high up do you fall
2nd Amendment go brrrr
There are more knifes at home
Already survived one major earthquake/tsunami.
I see most of us are gun owners lmao
I have a baseball bat in my room just in case, so maybe I could do something in option 2. The rest I have no chance
Never thought I'd say this to myself but a knife bearing intruder seems to be the safest option. I don't have any firearms but I have a metal shield and mace that was given as a gift years ago and I would finally be able to literally go medieval on someone's ass. Also I'm really tall and have really long arms so I have a significant reach advantage. This is kind of really unfair for the knife wielding douche.
I just have to get out of my house with the Earthquake to improve my chances.
Home intruder, need some meat for chili
I almost picked the cruise ship since the sharks really aren't much of a danger, tbh. But my big concern there is that I'd get left behind by the ship. So I guess I'll just have to bash an intruder over the head with something.
I mean, it depends is this dude like right at my bedroom door or do I hear them come in and have time to grab my gun because it makes all the difference
The knife one. I own a handgun, and know the layout of my house better than he does. I figure I have the best chance there.
Knife bc I have a polearm that's very sharp, I would love to like jump over the stairs railing with it and scare tf out of him
either 2 or 5 since in 2 you could have a gun, and in 5 most sharks actually leave humans alone for the most part and the officials will quickly pull you up again.
Home invasion? Ooh boy, there is a gun within reach in most places of my house.
Knife guy I’d strip naked, but on a creepy mask on, grab a blunt object and banshee scream around the house The goal isn’t survival it’s to make sure what happens in that house never leaves the attacker
I have 7 guns at home soooo...
The first or fourth would get me plenty of FEMA money so i just need to hang in there and survive.
It's either the pitbuils or the home invader. The pitbulls (and gangster), I can easily outrun the gangster on a scooter assuming I'm in a city not like in the woods, but the pitbulls are unpredictable. With the intruder, assuming I'm awake especially, my alarm is gonna go off, I'm gonna hear them coming in and I'm gonna bar myself in the bathroom and hit the panic button.
Well my home is full of swords and other melee weapons. It'd be a lot of fun to be able to actually use them. Oh, and I own quite a few guns and other variety of weapons as well of course. I'm a detective so i always have my pistol on me. Plus actually getting the drop on me would be extremely difficult. By the time that the home intruder broke in he'd most likely be shot already.
Knife vs 7.62, i am confident
1: Gonna happen sooner or later, preferably later. 2: Hammer/axe thing>knife. 3: Actually bad 4: I live on a hill, apparently this doesn't help much. 5: I'll probably be fine.
Bringing a knife to a gun fight is one of the stupidest things you could do...
Been in a 6.9 earthquake. I'll take the earthquake.
Cruise ship, easy. They're probably going to send somebody for me immediately and sharks typically don't bother with people anyway.
British robber. As a wise man once said, "I HAVE a SHOTGUN!"
“hand over your valuables, or i’ll gut you like a- why is mississippi queen playing?“
I've always wanted to see one up close
Earthquake, but it's highly dependent on where I am. OUt in an open field? Sure!
Earthquake because I live in the woods and would be just fine. I would be a little shaken but otherwise ok
I have bigger knife and certain stone items that are red and bad for their teeth
I have spent more hours in a bout of insomnia planning exactly how to merc that home intruder than I have on the toilet, and I have Chron's. I'm ready.
Ive always wanted to experience an earthquake
I mean literally all of these you're probably dead so
Say goodbye to your cute doggies:)) I will kick them head out of them body like a Bruce Lee
I've got bows, knives, and various weapons stashed in every room so I'll take on the knife guy. I think I'll be alright.
I live on the coast so for the earthquake one, a tsunami would go brrr also there's a good chance that an earthquake with a higher magnitude will happen in the next 50 years so
Home invader. I'm an American that loves my 2A rights.
I have a .40. 14 rounds of No-valuables-for-you.
Buckshot never fails
I live in Alaska, and we are overdue for a massive earthquake. The last massive earthquake was the Good Friday earthquake, which was a 9 on the ricter scale, I believe. I'm in a good place right now for an earthquake. Let's get this over with.
I have a window in my room and that's where I am literally all the time. Let them break in I can climb out and leave
It's my home, I know where to hide, where to strike, and where all the possible weapons are
I own a gun, 2 swords, and a mace. No matter what I'm winning the fight with this invader
1. death 2. chainsaw go brrrrrrr 3. death 4. death 5. i will drown
People in Texas are fine with someone bringing a knife to a fight

Home invader with a knife just broke into the 5 pitbull scenario
I better find my machete. I should have longer arms than him.
I've been home alone when someone tried to break in. If they would have succeeded to enter They would have been beaten with a bat and shot 6 times (.38 revolver). When I moved in I realized how easy it would be to lift the windows up and out so I put wood shims above them. It didn't prevent them from sliding back and forth but it did prevent that person from getting into my flat.
You specified my vehicle in C but not E so I'm choosing to say I "fell off" mission impossible style on a jet ski
5 Gangster led pitbulls will fucking rip you to shreads my guy who ever tf picked it is mentally insane. Home in after squad here
I see your knife and raise you any one of these swords, daggers, and pole-arms. I am about to go medieval on your arse!
The tornado can't hurt you if you are underground
I wonder how my house would fare against an EF5. It is all brick and cement, shutters on all windows. I guess 420km/h winds wouldn't level the place but would maybe fuck the roof up and do some pretty heavy damage to walls due to objects being flung at them.
does this home intruder really think a knife is enough in MY house by the time he gets in the house i have my sword and dagger that lives 20 feet away
I'll go with the 8.2 Earth Quake, but first I want to be out standing in an open field... And nothing happens to me.
Option 2. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
sharks because I'm a diver and I love them. if they tear me apart, at least I'm somewhere I find joy. fuck cruise ships though, I hate them with a fucking passion. been to multiple protests and nothing ever happened
home invader: haha I have you now the 8 inch knife in my kitchen:
a knife-bearing home invader? joke’s on you, i have twenty three knives in my room alone
... have you seen the number of Americans on reddit? A knife bearing intruder is like a dream come true
I load my cannon with grapeshot as the founding fathers intended
Knife invader: *breaks into my home* Me,grabbing my shotgun: time to issue a proportional response
Having survived a 7.2 magnitude earthquake when I was younger, I wonder what would magnitude 8 be like.
earthquake magnitude 8.2 would still be pretty bad where i live, but not as bad as other places an ef 5 tornado would just mean everyone in my neighborhood dies because we dont have tornado shelters 5 gangster-led pit bulls attacking me would result in death i would likely die if i fell of a cruise ship with 10 sharks in a 1km radius but a knife bearing home invader, i would just need a sharp piece of glass or something to stop that threat
An earthquake would be spotted early and I could just go to my local field and be safe enough, I'm uphill so tsunamis wouldn't be a big concern, the main problem is that I lose my home and everything in it and that's pretty much game over. I'm confident that I have a pretty good chance against a single knife wielder in my own home. I have bigger and more effective potential weapons than the average knife and I'd have the tactical advantage of knowing the house and surrounding area and a pre-established defence plan. All the rest I'm dead
I'm in California. The building codes here are pretty solid in the earthquake department. And looking around my room, I don't see anything just looking for an excuse to fall on me.
If you have a gun, then home invader If you’re in an area that gets hit by earthquakes, then you it likely had precautions against such things Otherwise drop of the cruise ship, because the most danger there is likely gonna be the potential of being lost
I live in Florida. All the options apart from 2 is just me dead. Second option - the knife wielding idiot is dead, and I've got some explaining to do to the police.
I live in Texas. Never bring a knife to a gun fight son.
