Or just an apocalypse in general.
As I’ve grown older, survival has become a burden. I’ve decided to embrace chaos by traveling in my shark suit and detonating any reactors I encounter. I’ve always been a morally upright person, so I believe I deserve to sought a little chaos in my life.
Trash Can Man? Donald? Donald Merwin Elbert? Is THAT you?
Ok, he didn’t detonate them on purpose
I have some plants and a pan. Soo i’ll be save
Same. How long can you survive on 6 rows of radishes? Maybe push starvation off for an extra day?
They are really big plants and grow super fast.
Radishes? They are not that big, but certainly fast growing. Plan to put more seeds down soon, this morning I put in what is hopefully a more efficient irrigation setup.
Oh i was referencing a game. Plants vs zombies. It has 6 rows for the mutated super plants to grow so I thought you were talking about it too.
Ohhhh no, not played that game so didn’t really think about it but it makes sense now. I just happen to have 6 rows of radishes and 6 rows of beetroot on one bed and as radishes grow fastest so they are nearly ready.
Lol those defenses seem sound.
My go to is honestly always 2 row sunflowers, from right 2 spike rocks, then tall-nut and rest filled up with melon-pult and one row of winter melon
Highly unlikely that anyone would actually “survive” a zombie apocalypse. It’s more a question of how long you’d last, and for the vast majority of people that would be just days.
For example, if you live in a major city, it’s highly unlikely you’d have enough supplies at home to wait out the initial chaos. Heading to the supermarket to fist-fight over a can of beans, or going to the gas station, is exactly what everyone else is doing too - and that’s where you either get killed by a panicking human or bitten by the infected.
Even if you had the foresight to stock enough supplies to bunker down in your apartment for a few weeks (by far the safest place for you to be), you’d still be trapped inside a city full of the walking dead. The odds could not be more stacked against you.
I actually live on the outskirts of a city, in the intersection of major motorways and a walking distance from the small but interactions airport we have. As in I regularly take walks which go within a stones throw of the airport area and I’ve been in the back buildings they have there, fucking around with old lockers and the airplane stairs they’d use to use and whatnot. (Free clay balls for my gardening hobby as well dumped in a pile there, clearly abandoned.)
And I’m pretty sure I could manage to get Cessna sized plane up, I’ve played enough simulators.
Everyone here is so negative about all of this. I’d have much better chances at a life worth living than I do in this bureaucratic hellscape. Not really, probably, because once the convenience of everything gets taken away, it seems way less fun. But yeah not everyone is in the same situation. One of the other commenters was a trucker in, I assume, the US. That’s a mobile apartment with torque enough to drive through any zombies. That guy isn’t stuck in a city.
I dunno, I’m pretty sure you’d only have to hold out for the few days it would take for the birds/ants/etc to eat through the major tendons on all the zombies, rendering them immobile, and then you’d be completely safe and the massive clean-up project could begin.
Unless anything magical/sci fi like in dead island going on i doubt there is enough food to support them for long. My guess is most run out of calories in 2 weeks. Then it gets to manageable levels.
We’re talking about zombies here - they’re fictional, magical creatures that laws of nature don’t apply to. If it did, we wouldn’t have zombies in the first place.
Zombies don’t have heartbeat, don’t eat, drink or sleep. They decay extremely slowly and can only be killed by destroying the brain.
Oh and depending on the pop culture mythology you’re using, also fire.
I probably wouldn’t
Defensive Plants
I’d head to the Winchester, have a pint and wait for this whole thing to blow over.
Take car. Go to mum’s. Kill Phil, grab Liz.
Form a citizen militia, go door to door and instruct people to start making spears out of what ever parts we can obtain. Train to fight in a formation.
Picks and shovels, construct earthworks to defend against a siege. Hold them out, funnel them into killing zones.
This is something that killed walking dead for me. There was a whole thing where they’re in the prison and the zombies outside manage to mass up enough that they break the fence. If they took shifts, 4 hrs a day with a spear and head stabbed the zombies they would never have gotten to a critical mass.
Infact, I did the math years ago for my ideal zombie escape zone. It would only take 8 people and a month to effectively eliminate the entire regional population if we move in 4 hour shifts. So baring the entire nearest metropolitan city showing up at once with a psychic level awareness of our presence and a deep need for revenge, all you really need is consistency and a schedule.
Yep, and surely most people are capable of killing >1 zombie unless they get pretty unlucky. You can only turn into 1 zombie when you fail.
I wouldn’t. I have an extroverted, anxious child who doesn’t know how to be quiet or careful.
That means you have bait for the first encounter. Not bad.
I got fullplate knight armor. And would go hide in a castle. Zombies can try to sieg me down!
Driving (and living in) an 18-wheeler, I’ve got shelter and transportation already sorted. Got all the comforts of home on board. Enough food and water to last a couple weeks, maybe a month if I had to. I can carry enough fuel to drive ~2500 miles if I ditched my trailer, or to run my APU for nearly a year in “standby” mode. Sure, replacing that fuel once it’s gone would be tricky, but it’s a diesel. There are plenty of alternative fuel sources out there.
I suppose my plan would be to run away from civilization, but off the beaten path so as to not get stuck in the mother of all traffic jams. No need to go that far; a few dozen, maybe a couple hundred miles down a non-interstate highway should be sufficient to avoid most humans/zombies. Plenty of random warehouses and parking lots out in the middle of nowhere.
Then it’d be a matter of relaxing for a few weeks, keeping my head down, and listening to the radio for any news about a safe zone or what have you.
Easy. I would survive by not being there.
Poorly.
I could last a bit. We have outdoorsy supplies and can do without electricity, but it’s probably inevitable I’d just wind down or lose focus once and that’ll be that.
By pretending to be a zombie and hoping I don’t run into Jessie Eisenberg.
i would vote
