Question

Could You Survive An Apocalypse..?

I'd be okay for a bit but once my insulin runs out I'd be pretty much fucked :(

If it wasn't for my diabetes though I'd be fine and would have no problems surviving. I'm a decent shot with either a bow or gun and would have no problems killing other people so that I could live. I can also make a fire too without a problem, and know how to make a battery and a water filter from everyday items.

For a battery you just need some nails and copper wire. Bang the nails into the ground and connect the wire to each nail. Boom. There's a battery.

A water filter? Easy peasy. Get yourself a bin, some charcoal and some sand. Puncture the bottom of the bin, bang a few holes in it, fill it up with alternating layers of sand and charcoal. Boom. Water filter.

That last one will probably save your life once the zombies/bombs start appearing, if you're out there and you see any insulin please feel free to drop some off to me to return the favour B) :D

    Fuck that - I'd just round up a load of the local yokels and get 'em to do it all for me, and call me Negan :D

    Depends on the type of apocalypse.

    Earth batteries require dissimilar metals for the electrodes, such as copper and iron or copper and aluminium. If the two nails are the same material, there won't be a chemical reaction and electron transfer via the dirt electrolyte.
    Leave out one of the nails and just stick the copper wire directly into the ground and it should work.

    Yeah that would probably be fairly easy where I'm from. And I doubt I'd have to work very hard to survive. I live in Texas, just about everyone around me is literally planning and waiting for the damn Apocalypse lol

    Of course, living in London, it is @vannagirl's DUTY to pop over to Tottenham so that we can breed perfect human beings to ensure that the human race survives. And you don't even need to wait until the Apocalypse has started, the sooner we start the better.

    Well if it's a Zombie apocalypse and they are anything like they are in "The Walking Dead". Then I'd just go about my daily life as if nothing had changed. The Zombies in that series are about as slow as a tortoise with arthritis and would be just a minor inconvenience.

    True .. I would go about and find Clementine, have her protect me against the human species. They seem like a bigger threat in that series. A great game though.

    I did warn you that watching Black Summer could cause a relapse  :o Now, did you remember to take all the antipsychotics, not just the green pills, also the hard to swallow red ones? Yeah, I'm quite worried right now!  :D

    You crazy fool. I can't start taking those ones again. They stop me from hearing the voices and I'd have nobody to talk to :(

    If you want an apocalyptic show that's not about zombies (zombies are boring now, they are used WAY too often), try The Promised Neverland (it's an anime).
    Young children happily living in an orphanage, waiting for adoption. Then one day the nightmare begins.

    One youtube review of it was titled "This anime horrified me for weeks". If that person watched Blood C they'd be traumatized for years.  :)


    Or for a very different animated apocalypse, try Gyo, The Death Stench Creeps.
    It's about the world being invaded by fish with metal legs. It's based on a series by Junji Ito, the master of horror manga.

    Gashunk!

    Against a zombie apocalypse, no problem, I'd be fine. But in both situations above... not so likely.
