For the sake of the plot, choose whichever zombie type fits your plans the best.

Zombies?

Look around. We're in an apocalypse right now.

You need zombies to make it real?

Popcorn, in general. But recently I don't watch that many of these movies anymore.

Wall of my parents' tiny neighborhood and use it as a compound. They have major river access and there are plenty of big yards for agriculture. There's also plenty of blue collar workers to do a lot of hands-on stuff. I'd be in charge of animal husbandry since I'm really good at it. My mom would do plants.

Probably start eating brains. Too close to a major population center to think I'd get out and away without being bitten at least once or twice.

Slow zombies? I'd do my very best to get back home. I moved for work so I'd do a cross country road trip to get back home. I think slow zombies would be easy to avoid if you plan and be very careful. Fast zombies on the other hand is a different story. Left 4 dead zombies? Probably die and become a boomer or a spitter.

As an American I have two apocalypse plans. If it's zombies, guns are cheap and easy to get. Not for killing the zombies, mind you. I only need one bullet. Otherwise, my plans include a camping chair, a bottle of Southern Comfort, and someplace with a good view. I mean it's not like I'm going to survive, so I might as well plop myself down at ground zero and get drunk.

Assuming i had prepared a few weeks of instant noodle and food and cat food, and the zombie are just evolved rabies that's also slow, just don't open my front gate, stay indoor with my cats and lock my front door. They're not gonna breach my window because of grille. Wait a week or so before going out. My home is in a residential area that's quite far away from the city, so i guess most people around me just gonna stay at home and be fine.

Were you born since covid or smth?

In my country, people stay at home and wear mask when outside just fine, vaccination is going as smooth as one can expect from in time of global crisis. Not to mention this is an imaginary crisis of zombie apocalypse, people will stay at home after seeing what it do. Are you sure it's not just your countrymen that's the issue?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There was more than one country that couldn't consistently follow the rules.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's more than one could. What is your point?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

My point is that the world is full of stupid people and in a zombie apocalypse, a lot of them would become zombies. If you're in one of the places where everyone skips the apocalypse by using common sense, that's great. You and yours may be the best of us.

Suicide.

I have no desire to live in a world without modern amenities and technology.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Just don't blow out your brains. Leave some food for the rest of us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Go live in the woods and homestead with my family.
