completing 5 neopets daily tasks earns you 20000NP. The individual tasks come with NP and items too. My neopet is currently bloated so I need to wait for him to not feel sick before I can feed him and complete the tasks. The day resets at 6pm.

I don't neopet, but just saw a tumblr post and apparently it's the apocalypse

Fun fact RE: The Internet: It was literally designed to survive a nuclear holocaust.

Networks at the time all had a central node, and any such node would obviously be a target for a nuke. So, the Internet was designed so that you could blow 90% of it up, and the remaining 10% would keep working.

Unfortunately, I live in a city with both an air force and naval base. I'm less than 10km in a direct line to the centre of the city. Unless I get a fair bit of warning, our family is toast.

I'm a little further from the CBD but once they blow up the data centers and the lines internet is gone. I'll have to wait a little longer for radiation to get to me.
