For The Tobacco Apocalypse

[unadoptedlamp]

If anyone has some spare change and a desire to live in the desert, here's a place to keep your stash:

Nuclear missile bunker: yours for less than $400k

Decommissioned nuclear silo accessed 40ft staircase leading underground was once home to US’s largest intercontinental ballistic missile ever deployed

It already has a designated smoking area, so really, the only thing you need to do before moving in is to maybe build a humidor for storage.

It's a steal... and bombproof.

Is there an HOA?

Needs some paint.

And zooming through that 360 view reminded me of playing Doom in the nineties,

Lemme see, besides tobacco aging, it might make a cheese cave (basically the same idea and for some reason pronounced "cav"), a wine aging silo. What else? The problem with these is always the vertical layout. Anything with weight has to be hoisted/elevated up and down, which makes it an expensive operation.

Mushroom farm!

Or maybe a secret base to build a ship to get off this rock. I’m pretty sure history will be kindest to the culture that distributes humans around the solar system before the next big meteor hits.

Area 79?

The bold adventure in space is at the obstacle now that it all happens in space stations the size of a few double wides, and when/if we make it to another planet, we will probably be stuck in a terrarium for life. I dream of a planet where we could live outside, but I don't see human kind getting there. I'm looking forward to younger folks proving me wrong.

 

[saintpeter]

Yeah, sure, but does it come with a missile? Even a small, tacticle thermo nuke? It's the little things that makes a house a home.

Just from photos, no life experience, I think that salt mines have broad horizontal expanses and not necessarily deep shafts, so they are pretty good for sequestering wine, tobacco, etc. I've heard of a cheese cave dug out in Vermont that was a major excavation and rents out space for aging cheese.

Isn't that where we all are already?

 

[JMcQ]

I like it. If only I had an extra half mil or so laying around.

Me too. Even going to a near-ish earth-like planet would mean that the people, generations later, who arrived at the planet, might be adapted for life in a space ark, and not so much the planet. It’s fun to think about.

 

[saintpeter]

I say we all band together and buy it. Then turn it into a B & M Pipe shop. A pipe shop with first-strike capability.

We quite possibly (even probably) would already be at that point if the crime syndicates that run the world hadn't stolen, mismanaged and generally pissed away trillions and trillions of dollars over the past century or so.

And a great deal of that money has gone into "black budgets"...so for all we here on the mushroom farm know, "they" may already have that technology for the chosen few.
