Ask Lemmy

My plan would be "go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over"

#1: Cardio

Probably procrastinate for 48hrs.

Probably kill myself

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.

Get some plants to fight them

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’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.

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?

Crater Lake. Wizard Island. Fresh water, fish, lumber. Built in barriers.

Buy a shotgun. Shoot myself. 😆

Oh, and get drunk.

Get gun, fishing rod and tackle, salt water filters, and those mre buckets bible thumpers are always selling on tv. Go to the marina and steal a keelboat. Dab on all the land lubbers still on shore.

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.

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.

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.

Drugs.

Then suicide.

Realistically the military will eventually clear everything, I just have to survive the weeks it would probably take.

Id buy a bunch of shelf stable food, a wood burner, bunch of lumber for barricading, nails, portable batteries for keeping out phones charged, a big battery for the router (even when thr power is down, internet isnt), guns. A bunch of bottled water too. A bunch of hand sanitizer too to clean out hands constantly if needed

I think thats all I'd need to sit this out. I think the hardest part would be convincing family that theres gonna be a zombie Apocalypse

I'd order the sweater with the text "the hardest part about a zombie apocalypse is pretend I'm not excited".

Supplies and boat on a large body of water.

Wait for real life to kill zombies. Or for them to rebuild society.

I will join the army at last. My zombies are regular semi-slow ones, not magical.

Assuming they're the type of zombie with no viable circulatory system to help stay warm, I'd relocate up to the Arctic for a while.

Stock up, stay inside, and wait for the zombies to die from either dehydration or starvation.

Have two days of just absolute living it the absolute fuck up.

And buy a bottle of nitrogen and a non-rebreather mask.

Well... My health conditions mean that I am unlikely to survive long term after apocalypse. Even if no zombies get me. The first week would be fine, the first month maybe, but I wouldnt be alive to see the second year. I could try to do a camping trip to see if the "apocalypse" passes over quickly. If not, then there is no point trying to plan for long term survival.

1. Liquidate all my assets
2. Spend that money on food, bottled water, camping toilets, medicine, etc.
3. Barricade myself indoors
4. Wait it all out

The number of people that would go to the woods makes me think that staying in a city would be a better option.

Head on over to the Winchester and wait for this all to blow over.

• I dont tell anyone
• I buy S&P 500 mutual funds
• I choose zombie type: paralyzed
