- only you know
- zombie type is up to you
My plan would be “go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over”
“Two pints and a packet of crisps please love”
“Yeah boiiiiiii”
Sounds like a slice of fried gold
Hey, that’s the same plan I have for my next date.
Dogs can’t look up!
#1: Cardio
Can i get cardio in two days? This changes everything.
Lol. I’m screwed. My asthma makes any sort of cardio impossible after 5 minutes.
Yeah I recommend rolling the Too Swole To Control perk. Sounds like you refuse to do cardio. /s obvs
That’ll do pig. That’ll do.
Probably kill myself
If you can’t beat the endless waves of undead may as well join them.
First put on the silliest outfit you can think of.
I mean yeah it would suck but why not at least run for the hills get a cutesy air bnb cabin and max out your credit cards on food and ammo?
I guess the better question is: why? To what end? Live out some doomer prepper fantasy? The world would be right fucked and you’d be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself which you could do right now without the zombies.
That’s a really good question. I know “zombie apocalypse” isn’t well defined, but it usually indicates a complete and total destruction of society. Even once the zombies are gone, there’s no civilization to return to. It’s not like a hurricane, where people start to rebuild.
Considering the post-post-apocalypse, I’m not sure it’s a world I would want to be part of.
I mean I get that but with solar panels and some MacBooks you could have a good amount of time playing games with friends and fishing. No bills, no job job. Heck I don’t even like fish, or any seafood, but it wouldn’t have to be bad bad. Like it’s not my fantasy per se, I would miss civilization, but it sure beats death and in some ways beats capitalism.
Good questions. I don’t understand why some people are absolutely determined to suffer as much as possible and “live” through the inevitable hellscape that would follow the collapse of society. Just face reality and end it quickly.
Some of us decided long ago to spite life.
I mean, you could try, but eventually someone will find you, probably arrest you, and tear down your home
There is so much empty land in the middle of nowhere. If the goal is to never interact with society again, it is unbelievably easy to achieve.
Someone owns that land, because we’ve decided every inch of the planet is already owned
Human habitation is visible from space. There are parts of every government dedicated to just enforcing just this… Go out and try it, people are arrested for tents on this land, let alone homesteads
Nobody’s looking into space that nobody wants. And people don’t want space that can’t be easily accessed. Win win for you.
But if you’re determined to remain in US you can buy an acre of land in Alaska for like a thousand bucks, and then you can live there for as long as you want.
A cabin in the woods when there’s zombies out there? You’d never sleep! I’d take my chances trying to find a compound.
Probably procrastinate for 48hrs.
Stock up on canned food, ammo, batteries, fuel etc. Go to a cabin in the wilderness far away from everything. Check that I’ve got the essentials, realize I forgot something. Go back to town to pick it up. Go back to cabin, go back to town to print out some guides on how to preserve food, go back to cabin.
I was just thinking I would download Wikipedia, but I guess batteries degrade so printing probably isn’t a bad idea…
You been watching Station Eleven?
Nope is it good?
It is and has a Wikipedia subplot hence why I raise it. I also understand why no-one watched it in 2021. I certainly was not in the right mental space then.
Just looked it up. Took place a year before covid, freaky.
Don’t forget to raid your local police station/armory for riot gear and a shield!
If Lockpicking Lawyer taught me anything, is to bring a magnet when stealing guns from cops
Motorcycle gear, much easier to get hold of. Kevlar reinforced, better mobility and riot gear isn’t designed for the types of hazards that zombies pose anyway i.e. thrown objects and weapons.
Get some plants to fight them
Make sure to stock up on fungi for the nighttime, too.
And Some aquatic variants in case it floods.
Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.
The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.
I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson explaining away zombies. Really took the immersion out of any zombie movies. Basically what you said, but more of it.
Many of the more modern and realistic takes have it caused by an organism that’s gone endemic. Meaning anything or anybody that dies changes, regardless of if they were bitten. This provides a constant source of new zombies. In addition to the fact that other survivors are usually a bigger threat than the zombies themselves.
The power grid is usually one of the first things to go during a zombie apocalypse. Only the shelf stable food will be usable after a few days. That being said, there’s plenty of space in the warehouse to hole up.
I’m going to assume the zombies are the result of a microbial/viral infection reanimating a cadaver. Those muscles aren’t going to stay functional for long, because the body is dead, systems have stopped etc.
I’ll just get enough water and canned food to survive a week. Just lock the doors and stay inside until the zombies outside stop moving.
I would go with 2-3 month, but after first one they shouldn’t be all that dangerous. Zombies don’t work unless they are of magical kind.
1 month is a long time. Hope they don’t start doing yoga and free health care.
Buy a lot of toothpaste and toothbrushes.
And I would ask those hordes of zombie to brush their teeth before they try to bite me as I would not want to get sick and maybe contagious right before I’m eaten alive.Is there something you mean to tell us?
…. Look I didn’t drop the vial… but a vial was dropped
If only.
Go online.
Research how many sleeping pills it takes to die.
Go out and buy them.
Spend time doing things I enjoy with people I like.
Crush the pills up into a drink and pound it.
Go to sleep.
Life’s already hard. I don’t need to live in a post-apocalyptic world.
Buy a shotgun. Shoot myself. 😆
Oh, and get drunk.
Living on an upper floor comes in handy for once, as it’s actually fairly easy to barricade the front door. Alert some key close friends and family members who will actually believe me. Then stock up on canned goods, fill every possible thing I can with water, and grab some camping solar kits for power once the grid goes down.
After that? Hunker down. Avoid being clearly seen in windows or heard to prevent attracting the undead. I reckon I need to last about 6-9 weeks.
See, the thing is, zombies are going to die out. The average human can go 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Let’s assume zombies have a magical lack of need of hydration, so they last 3 weeks. Double that for the time they’ll have ample food. Assume another 3 weeks that they’ll cannibalize each other or something.
At that point, I can begin to venture outside. Small numbers of capable zombies may still exist, but most will be dead or starving. Other survivors are my greatest worry.
other survivors
Have you seen/read the walking dead? Other survivors the concern.
I haven’t, but there’s ample stories which present more or less the same point.
Other survivors are my greatest worry.
You should have kept reading 😆
Oops. I had a typo. I meant other survivors are the only concern. Even if the zombies aren’t atrophied and withering, other people are the main concern.
That’s exactly what they’re saying in their comment. Other survivors are their greatest worry.
I was agreeing.
I didn’t think zombies needed food or water or that they would “die”. Isn’t the point that they are already dead?
Depends on the zombie lore we are going with. Traditionally, yes but this could a rabies variation so they are hydrophobic. You don’t want the Office Uprising variant where they are still somewhat in control.
Meh. Stock up on crowbars, axes, hammers, screwdrivers, etc. Drive into the hills and away from the cities, stock up on as much canned food and water I can cram into my tiny ass car. I don’t have a gun nor know how to use it, but I’d probably try and kill a cop zombie at some point after the outbreak. Then only use it on myself if it looks like it be eaten alive.
Otherwise I’d try to live a quiet secluded life reading books, attempting to garden, fish, and trap small game animals. All while mourning my loved ones while waiting for the weight of the depression to finally convince me life isn’t worth living in such a state. Hopefully that takes a good long while, but yknow…that’s unlikely.
I’d likely die of starvation or dehydration before the zombies got me, unless we’re talking sprinters…then no way.
I used to play Project Zomboid. The game mechanics make the learning difficulty high and you have to start from the beginning if you die…and there is no plot nor point to the story other than just survive in a world where you are the sole survivor of a zombie outbreak. It forces you into thinking like this often the longer you play. Amazing game, but very depressing.
You say you used to play PZ… I recommend checking out the Week One mod with the new unstable branch of B42. Breathes some life into the world prior to the apocalypse occurring.
I’d order the sweater with the text “the hardest part about a zombie apocalypse is pretend I’m not excited”.
Extra fast shipping I guess, or click and collect somewhere
When I order nationally it ships today, arrives tomorrow. When I order from a neighboring country it takes 1 to 2 days longer. Just don’t order from China.
