so you are the last human on earth

[Relic]

well at the very least I could probably now have that 72 Rick bass I've always wanted..

 

[carlos840]

I would go to Jay leno's garage to try a few things and then head to hugh hefner's house to look for survivors!

Since i'm in the UK i would have to figure out a way to cross the puddle first... A jet can't be that hard to fly can it?

 

[LIOGM]

I dunno, most of the things that I enjoy would be unavailable to me without a population:

a) volleyball is much more fun when you have someone to receive your serves.

b) bass is much more fun when you have a drummer to fill out your rhythm section

c) snarkiness is much more satisfying when you have someone to offend.

On a realistic note, the end of the earth's human population means the end of all of the things that we take for granted in civilization, like potable drinking water, electricity, prepared food; all the goods and services that we've come to rely on as domesticated people would be unavailable. With those gone life would become a constant struggle for survival with no hope of relief.

a) Ace every time!
b) Drum machine, plus... all guitar players are dead!
c) Poking dead people during the argument is pretty snarky.

With those gone life would become a constant struggle for survival with no hope of relief.

the grocery stores have enough bottled potable water for one to live off of for a long time. Besides- a lot of the things you mention are all relatively recent developments in human history- civilization lasted thousands of years, thrived even, without electricity, whereas we've only had it for a short time. You are right, it would be a constant struggle, but if we're talking about all humans suddenly gone- then things like shelter and water are instantly available in great abundance. Food too, to a certain extent. I mean, if every building in the world was vacant, why would anyone want to try and make it on their own in the wild? Now, if humans are all dead- that's a lot of rotting corpses to deal with. There's your struggle...

 

[stevetx19]

to add- my plan would be to find a library and start learning science....how to get electricity for 1 man....I would break in to fertility clinics and learn how to make test tube babies....I'd probably try to find some open enough land to start vegetable farming too, before all the available seeds go bad.

Even with a lone survivor, impossible odds, there is at least still hope, still something to try for. Test tube babies? likely a fail, but worth pursuing.

 

[Roscoe East]

No. More. Pants.

Is it weird that this was my first thought also?

 

[chris1125]

Okay, I'm pretty sure there are enough batteries in a grocery store to give you electricity for life...

 

[Cabazon]

I'd break all of the glass, find myself a Steinway, and hope there's food nearby.

Maybe build a plastic castle.

 

[SpitfireCWII]

Well I would do alot of random things...
-Set a forest on fire
-Drop a nuke on a city and then later go see how well I did
-Find a Dodge Challenger and drive till I find a farm full of cows,pigs, and chickens.
-Butcher said cows,pigs, and chickens and have a lovely meal
-Then I would probably connect fences together and send an electric charge through them, this way if a deer or something hits the fence I have an easy meal ^.^
-After I get bored of that, I would find USS. Missouri and load the challenger onboard, and then set sail for Netherlands and look for women ^.^

Yes I have a pretty wild imagination at times. :3 I wonder what Kwesi would do....

I suppose the victories would be available, but not too sporting. The drum machine would need a power source to make any noise, and since the electrical grid would crash without operators, I'd probably be out of luck.

No argument about the snarkiness of poking dead people.

I'm not saying that humans couldn't survive outside of civilization, clearly we could, but that was during a time we were raised knowing how to do it. Most of us are completely ignorant about basic survival skills (which is what we'd be facing), and while it's true that we could sponge off the remnants of civilization for a while, without proper maintenance, that will slowly fall apart as well.

Okay, I'm pretty sure there are enough batteries in a grocery store to give you electricity for life...

Assuming that the items you need to power accept AAA's. Most of the consumer electronics we enjoy are either AC or use brand specific batteries.

 

[champbassist]

This thread reminds me of the song 'Under The Oak' by Candlemass.

"I'm not strong, weak is my mind, a new beginning, where to find?
I'm the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime."

In such a scenario, I'd go insane. If not immediately, then slowly. But surely.

 

[electracoyote]

thats right the end has come but you have survived due to a virus that you are immune to.....and there is now no living life left on earth just you.

You mean, this self-abusive life of a musician, with the alcohol, drugs, STDs, mental illness, insomnia, smoke inhalation, and junk food has actually created an immuno-function that prevents this human-killing virus from getting to me?

OUTSTANDING! It worked!

 

[1SHOT1HIT]

are you good enough to get to the Caribbeans?

Absolutely , only thing between us is air and fear. And a whole bunch of water.

Now I've grown up on boats , and have always lived by the coast.

But to get a large enough boat that far well idk.
But I'd surely take my chances.

There's always a helicopter too, how hard could it be? Lol

I've played GTA. Got it under control.

 

[sarcastro83]

What would I do?

Lots and LOTS of mind-altering drugs I'm too affraid to try right now.

 

[1SHOT1HIT]

I've played GTA. Got it under control.

Me too, do you think those skills will help ?
I can fly my butt off in GTA
Except that part when your way out over the water and accidentally hit the button to exit the helicopter.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Splash!!!!!!!!

 

[Phalex]

You'd lose every single one too.

You just wait and see! Oh! That's right. You'll all be DEAD!

Muahahahahahahaha........... Excellent...

 

[Icey101]

ok for power Yamaha make a great little petrol powered generator you can put in the back of your truck....it'll run 110 and 240v

I'm sure there are enough battery powered outlets at a walmart to last you a lifetime.

 

[Bloodhammer]

Everything would be equally pointless. Shoot myself I guess.
