rather than a snarky one liner, I will take your question seriously.
If you mean, on any given day, then streets are a big winner, since it has been a while since any Nuke was used in a war.
But, in absolute terms, Nukes have the ability to insure total annihilation of the human race.
So, in absolute magnitude Nukes win, in terms of practical impacts on our daily lives, streets have a bigger impact.
But, let's not forget there is a crazy in power with nukes threatening to use them frequently. We even had one here say, "Why have nukes if we don't use them" (paraphrased). So. maybe they are a realistic concern to everyone...
