Cool. Perfect? Well I agree it's perfect for a prepper subset.  :) EOTHWAWKI  :)  Yup, perfect for that!  :smiley_clap:


I'm a prepper too, though more the get through the tornado, floods, tsunami, hurricane, fire, being fired, pandemics & pandemic lock downs, bed bugs, bird flu, power outages, food supply chain breakdown, lack of income, etc. kinda prepper.  And looking at that indeed gorgeous representation of a bomb in the middle of a city everyday could scare the s#@t outta me.

Got something for prepper subgroups like me?  :D

I just thought it was funny really. I mean for a prepper to have as a desk lamp. But I have a dry sarcastic sense of humor. 😉 Didn't mean it seriously.

Trying to think what yours would be. Dry? Sarcastic? Encased in lucite? A tornado ripping thru a city? A dead bird with the title - "Bird Flu"?

See? Dry and sarcastic. Sorry. 😬

Oh, no no no no! I got it and was typing 'funny' back! And chuckling as I typed.
(an example of well intentioned typing voices having unintended, sometimes negative, consequences)

So now, back to the funny... how'd ya find that truly cool thing? And it would be a kick to own. Well, somebody else.
 :smiley_crocodile:

And it would be fun to know how to find a prepper thing like that in different flavors of prepping too. Any ideas on how? What's the words to type to bring this stuff up on a browser search?

Oh. I knew you weren't serious. Just making sure my brand of dry humor was made perfectly clear. Lol! It's one of the reasons I continue to use the outdated "Lol!". Which is probably annoying in an of itself. Like the word "hun". Nobody uses that anymore. But man I found that annoying. Couldn't tell you why though. :)

In answer to your question about how to find stuff like that. I buy a lot of cheap sh*t on AliExpress! Lmao! Serious though. It's 99% of the time not sh*t. But it is infinitely cheaper than Amazon or anywhere else. And the exact same stuff. From the exact same factories. And a lot of stuff I have never seen before. That is super useful and super cool. 

Everything from car stuff. I just bought an android head unit for my Jeep. Was around $200. Has a 10.1" touch screen. And rivals US units that cost $2000+. 

Prepping stuff galore. I can't tell you how many super cheap,super useful prepping, survival and outdoor items I have gotten for pennies in the dollar. Simply by waiting a couple weeks for shipping. 

Tons of firearm related stuff. Belts. Skings. Chestrigs. Piuches. Cleaning kits, cleaning items, accessory parts made out of aluminum and polymer plastics that are hard to break. And name brand does not matter. Unless your trying to Gucci impress strangers at the range. 

Household stuff. Microfiber glasses cleaning cloths. $2 for like 50 of them. Appliance do dads that roll up the  birds and store them tightly against the appliance. Instead of having cords snaking all over your counter. Small shelves for the shower and beside my bed. That hold essentials up and away. Like my clock next to bed. The list is endless. 

That nuclear scene just came up in one of my searches randomly. Before or after I ever look for something on Amazon or online. I always check AliExpress. And 99% of the time find a way better price. Or a way better item.

Yeah, it's still funny and entirely apropos for preppers, whether the doomsday variety or not. Kind of like Calamityware cups and plates!
