Where would you move to ride out a potential WWIII?

Australia. There really is no better place in the event of nuclear war. It's a continent-island, meaning easy to defend, it grows and can build just about anything, and being in the southern hemisphere it should be safe from nuclear winter.

Specifically, a rural property somewhere agricultural. Maybe Queensland or Tasmania.

If you could move anywhere to minimize the impact on you of the worldwide rise of fascism...

That's almost a different question, though. Whichever European country is the most securely democratic. There's lots of non-war ways fascism can suck aggressively.

Yeah it might be safe from nuclear winter but it is Australia it already has 10billion other things that can easily kill you.

That feeling when you survive the apocalypse only to get stung by a platypus and regret that you survived.

A platypus you mean Perry the platypus

That show would have been way darker if Perry had ever employed the fact he's a venomous mammal.

Actually, it was a missed opportunity not to go with a female Perry and have an egg-hatching subplot. Their version of the platypus really didn't do much.

There was one episode where they thought Perry had laid an egg.
