In a Post-Apocalyptic World

[Red Spyder]

You have to divide all that work!!
1. All the lawyers go out and gather the food (so they can do some actual work for once)
2. People with common sense (i.e. not lawyers) restablish a functioning government
3. I'll sacrifice myself and will work at procreating with all the hot chicks
4. Scientists, engineers, and historians will be in charge of preserving the knowlege of mankind. (for some reason that kind of sounds like The Brotherhood of Steel)

You watch The Walking Dead? We could always teach you how to shoot a gun. You'll be a badass in no time.

Yes, Andrea *was* the only bitch who ever did anything on that show!
I actually hated her, but now I think she's a badass after the finale.

Pretty excited for Michonne though.

I actually plan to start going to the gun range soon, and would like to get one eventually, but I'm also not a gun nut.
I grew up being told to fear guns, so it took quite a while to come around to them! Not going to lie, I would legitimately like to know how to defend myself in an apocalyptic situation.
But I definitely agree with the previous poster, that I'd try to have more of a focus on hiding out, not traveling or providing more opportunities for confrontation with other survivors.

locate the one named Sasha Grey, and bring her to me. she shall be mine concubine.

then go find some food. and build some houses. who cares.

Obviously preserving the knowledge of mankind.

What if the apocalypse was caused by environmental factors caused by man, would you still want to preserve the knowledge that obviously brought it forth in the first place?

 

[bobjustbob]

Food. Without that you can't do the others.

What if we need to knowledge that caused the factors so we could know to clean up the mess, and then we could also look at that same knowledge and correct the mistakes that cause the mess in the first place from happening again?

Haha, touche.. except if humankind has taught us anything, it's that history repeats itself.
Or is often remembered how people choose to remember it ;P

Seriously, only me on procreating?? What have we become? Are we so selfish that the atavic instinct of preservation is gone from us? What do you do when you're left 100k in the whole world, stone age scenario. What's that OTHER? I'm really curious. And especially: how do you intend to preserve the knowledge of mankind if you don't procreate? And...are you plan to eat all day long? There's not gonna be a couch and football or baseball on tv you know?

 

[Red Spyder]

By the way, it also depends what kind of "apocalypse" you're talking about.

A zombie one will require some secure shelter with no way for the zombies to get in and a way to get food, something like Hershell's farm but with a much better fence, like, replacing the fence boards with katana blades and watch the zombie horde cut itself to pieces leaving a lot of armless, legless torsos, plus a some kind of protection but mostly small arms, like 9mm pistols, shotguns and rifles, with more emphasis on accuracy than firepower, since you got to shoot them in the head. Keep some heavy weapos handy against looters.

A nuclear (i.e. Fallout) apocalypse, again, shelter, knowlege of medicine and radiation, heavy weaponry (against supermutants if any) and a way to purify water, and lots of caps!

A "captain trips" type of apocalypse (from Stephen King's The Stand) mostly getting organized with the rest of the survivors and protection mostly against looters.

A "2012" type of apocalypse, you're screwed unless you're in one of those giant submarine kind of ships, or if you can make your own.

An "Armaggedon" or "Deep Impact" type of apocalypse, you'll need some flexibility and a nice pair of lips.... so you can bend over and kiss your ass good bye.

Actually, this question and all the answers were on a repeat of the Big Bang Theory that came on earlier today :1orglaugh

Ironically, I haven't had sex in almost 3 years, so procreating is kinda far from my mind right now. How do zombies procreate anyway?
:zombie:

How are the calluses on your hands coming along?

They're getting worse every night for some reason :1orglaugh

And...are you plan to eat all day long? There's not gonna be a couch and football or baseball on tv you know?

Actually I think food and water must be dealed with before thinking about procreating.
1) Except if you plan to eat the babies, how do you think you're gonna survive with your kid if you don't even have food for yourself ?
2) Fucking can be exhausting (and I think you're particulary exhausting and you're particulary exhausted after you've been fucked), so if you wanna keep having great sex, you need to eat and drink.
3) Then, as soon as I would have solved the food & water problem, we'll be all set for some wild and rough "procreation" :nannerf2:

 

[Sam Fisher]

Spyder nailed it. Shit Hit The Fan scenarios come in all kinds of packages.

1. Earthquake
2. Tornado
3. Hurricane
4. Tsunami
5. Rodney King incidents
6. The day the Cubs win a World Series.

Best to have:

Food stocked up
Water
Prius back packing stoves / Coleman, etc.
Fuel
Generator
Flashlights
Batteries
Battery powered radio
Walkie-Talkies, most hunting/ outdoors stores carry them
Candles
Several firearms with plenty of ammo. (thugs and zombies will be roaming the neighborhoods attempting to take anything they want.) Don't expect the cops to be there in 3.7 minutes. They will be tied up with more serious shit than worrying about YOU and the creep trying to break into your home.

Remember Hurricane Katrina? Rapes, looting, murders, etc. I am so freaking glad I have guns and that I know how to use them. By then, the only thing money will be good for is wiping your ass. Let's say the guy down the street has extra food. Let's say I wanna "buy" some from him. He won't want money. But, if he is a gun owner he might trade some food for some of my ammo. I'd be glad to make that trade.

I wouldn't want to bring a baby into that environment. Plus think about the hygiene. I don't people are going be showering every day like we do now. We might have to go a few days without a shower. The stench might be unbearable.
