What would you do if your the last person alive on Earth?

Archive: 57 posts


This has always been an interesting and fasinating question I often ask people and most of the time their replies are stupid, e.g sit at home etc.

Although imagine your sitting at home one day and poof, everyone disappears except you and other non human creatures.

What do you do first?

How will you survive?

Can you rebuild the human population again?

Please look up on Google, Life after People Channel 4

Its a 3 hour long programme about what life is like after people and it goes from 1 second to 20 million years. It is extremely interesting. There's a lot of changes and destruction.

Post what you would do and if you think you could repopulate the earth in any way.

I would walk into the abandoned LBP2 manufactory, where I would proceed to play and enjoy said LBP2.2010-08-04 00:24:00

Good ideas but how will you play LBP2 without the electricity? The electricity will go off after 24 hours as no one will be there to maintain the factories etc.2010-08-04 00:26:00

I know. It sucks.

I would probably go on a mad destruction rampage, destroying everything in my path. I strangely like destroying stuff. Muhahaha just imagine me making the empire state building collapse xD

Serious:

If I didn't knew that I was the last person alive, I would walk around the wastelands, screaming to see if someone was alive... After many tries I would end up dying of starvation or even boredom.
If I knew I was the last one... Maybe I would enjoy these days doing what I always wanted to do but never could... And then end it all...

Btw, I imagine myself doing some crazy things, like getting on my dad's car and using it to move. I can't drive, but with noboy around, who cares?
If energy was still on I could stay for hours staring at my computer screen, reading the posts at LBPC and another forum I haven't visited for months (must be a desert now).

How would I end it? Maybe end it in a interesting way. I've always wanted to be able to pilot planes. Maybe I would get inside a plane, and try piloting it. I will die anyway...

Wow that was a sad post!

Did you know that humans actually came from fish? That is true. P.S dogs search for food after an hour or so if humans were all gone as they have a weird instinct. So there's going to be a large mosh pit battle for food xD2010-08-04 00:56:00

Step 2: Train the monkeys to obey your every commands.
Step 3: Teach the monkeys how to construct a cybernetic body or clone body for you so you can live eternally and become a god.

Maybe I could make a machine that bombard organic molecules with energy, so I could create life again!

Issues:
1) Power;
2) Where can I get organic molecules?
3) I won't live for a billion years... Maybe I could use above method and train monkeys to take care of the thing! Wait... If there are monkeys alive, why am I doing this?

^ Example of my mind after 2 weeks of lonelyness...

id be slamming my head against the wall for not being a scientist researching cloning. then id rejoice as i realise humans arent really all that great >_>

i would probably go mad...quite honestly. maybe go as far to try cross breeding with things to get at least some human life to continue existing....even though thats kinda impossible for a human to do. but being mad, id try anyway

i dont tihnk thered be anything i could do to recreate the human race, so i would just go exploring i guess...anywhere i wanted and live as long as possible. and when i die....years and year and years after my death some other animal would evolve and take over, descover our lost race and form their own ideas of it, take elements of it and so on. but if nothing does evolve upto our status ever again....oh well, lost efforts on the human race i guess

Hm... very good question... I would raid some gun shops, and take everything and start building my own custom AR-15's and walk around shooting animals for food. I'll even probably take a sniper or two. 2010-08-04 01:27:00

I concur with the raiding of the gun shops ... I'd also have to procure a good, sturdy truck. (I already have one but why not have a better one?)

I would try to keep guns of common calibers so that no matter where I am I'll be able to get ammunition for it ... well... sort of. I figure there's enough ammo on the planet to last me my life if I just use it to hunt and defend myself from animals. Also, I'm sure I can also procure some very good quality knives.

I also hope there's enough gasoline to last me driving around.

Other than that... I'd also raid all the top secret government bases and secret holy libraries and what not, see what's going on. Maybe I can discover some kind of cloning technology, I doubt I could restore the human race but I could keep myself alive indefinitely most likely.

Foofles : Right. Forgot the truck. And there's no point in keeping guns of similar Calibers. You ARE the last person in the world, plenty of transportation to get nearest shops, and there isn't going to be anyone in your way stopping you from getting ammunition.

EDIT : And speaking of which... There should be a thread on General Chat for gun enthusiasts

I don't mean that the guns I'd keep would each share ammo (though it'd be good to have backups and backup parts) , I mean I'd use ammo I could find everywhere. Like .3006, 9mm, etc.

I mean, what if what destroyed humanity is still out there? I'd want to be sure I"d always be able to be armed. I might not be able to drive miles, I'd need things I could even find ammo for in any neighborhood or raid a police station.

Oohh I misread what you wrote then. My apologies. And well, if whatever destroyed humanity, I doubt raiding a police station will help! If you think batons and pepper spray will do you any good! Hehe. Nearest military compound ftw?

My first step would be to get a dog. I get lonely easily. The next step is raid some store for some generators and get to a fuel station as fast as possible.

The generators would allow me to power fuel poumps, and since no one else would be using gasoline, getting around would be pretty easy.

Step 3 would be something about getting a decent amount of good medical supplies.

Step 4? Some sort of RV for good mobility and decent accommodation.

Step 5. Get down to NASA and send signals to see if people on the space station survived.


Ahhh, this is a waste of time. If I don't stop I will wright a book.

So if you are the last person on earth you become A sexual? I am sorry I don't understand, how would you be able to rebuild the population with ONE person.

Anyway what I would do is...
get my guitar, my dog and travel the wastelands until I could finally not take it anymore and I would probably kill myself ( it would be very dramatic )

What do you do first?
I know this sounds bad, but I would probably steal (or is it stealing?) as many supplies and useless objects as I can from stores and everywhere else and try to hoard them into one house. I would probably develop irrational paranoia and decide to stay in one room for as long as possible.

How will you survive?
Just try to learn how to prepare food through trial and error and consume anything I need to survive. I would hoard things by day in a car or truck and stay locked up in my room of choice at night.

Can you rebuild the human population again?
Probably not, I may end up dying from either old age, lack of proper nutrition, or suicide...My intense irrational paranoia may get the best of me...

-------------------------------------

This would be my honest course of action if I was the last person alive. One hundred percent...

Uhm, I would probably commit suicide as there would be no power, no notable reliable way to get resources and I'd most likely go insane due to lack of anyone else anywhere.

Or this:

1) Get to NASA
2) Tell the people in space to get back to earth
3) Now I'm not the last person.

It would be hilarious that you raided every building in your area and destroyed everything for the fun and went to Nasa, got on a spaceship and you fly off towards Mars.

Then you see all these people and survivers come out of nowhere. You would be kicking yourself lol.

I think I saw that show on TV or something similar anyawy, very interesting.

I've actually thought abot the question before. I think I'd make for a pretty good last person alive. It's in a spoiler because it's pretty long
Ok, where to start?

If I was the last person on earth I don't think I'd go mad for quite a long time. I would probably make it a game, try and see just how long i could survive for by myself. I'd find myself a couple of nice cats, a dog and maybe a couple of of other animals. They would at least keep my same for reasonable time.

Power
Obviously there would be no-one to run the power stations but there's still plent of avaliable power. Firstly I would set myself up somewhere that had solar panels installed so I would have reasonably constant power. I know a few service (or gas) stations have solar panels installed. They also have petrol, deisel, LPG, and gas bottles. There would be plenty of other power supplies if I looked aound such as batteries, lighters etc. I'd stock up on as much of these as I could get my hands on. Car batteries would be good I'd collect a whole of them. And If I could get away without using the aforementioned power supplies I'd use good ol' fashion fire.

Food
Another advantage of setting up camp at the service station is that it will already have a whole bunch of food in it. Also I doubt the solar panels would be able to run the fridges, hopefully I would find a way to power a fridge and a freezer, so untill then I have all the bags of ice in the big cold rooms.

The next thing I'd do is go down to Bunnings with a ute, or a truck. I'd fill it up with all the fruit and vegetable plants and a buch of other supplies such as gas bottles and stoves. Good thing I have a bunch of gas at the servo too. I'll probably get some eskies while i'm there as well. Next stop, suoermarket! I'd just completely raid this place of canned food and the like.

Depending on how long I last eventually I'll have to start getting my own meat. Seafood would be easy to come by, just get myself a bunch of fishing rods, crab pots etc and I'm set. Oysters would be especially easy to come by, I'm sure I could teach myself to like them. Chickens would also make for easy food plenty of eggs while they're alive and when they're about to die I could cook 'em up. Then there's the crocs, bilbies, kangaroos tey're all good meat sources and I'm sure I could figure out how to kill them.

Water
No need for boiling water in can yet! There's plenty of places that have bottled water on there shelves. anything from 600ml bottles to 12L bottles. Those alone would last a very long time, there's only one person drinking them after all and some animals. There's plenty more water than that though. Hot water systems. Every house has at least one as well as most other buildings. Drain the water out into some containers and you'll be set.

Then If I somehow manage to run out of clean water I can still go back to boiling water over a fire.

Transportation
Transportation would be easy. Plenty of cars, trucks, boats, motorbikes, bicycles. If I could I'd try to find an electric car. Then I could leave it at another servo or house that had solar energy and charge it up as much as I wanted. Before that though I'd use all the fuel cars already had in them an whatever the servo's around town had.

Health
Hopefully health shouldn't be a big issue. I'd head down to the shops get some panadol and bandaids etc. Toothbrushes, tooth paste, soap, disinfectant. Unless I get some serious illness these should sufice.

Comfort
Comfort would be good fun. I'd set off to the shops and get myself the best bed imaginable. Along with the best couch, chairs, tables, clothes. The servo would be a pretty comfortable place to stay. nice indoor area big enough for one and a large covered outdoor area. I would probably make a barrier around it though to keep out unwanted animals.

FUN STUFF
I'm the last person alive I've gotta make the most of it! First order of business, find a really fast car and just go racing all around town, maybe get a 4WD and go bush bashing. I'd also go down to the police station and get me some guns, oh the fun I could have with them, I'd get some paintball guns while I'm at it and make a fruit bazooka too.

I could teach myself how to play a whole variety of instruments. Smash things, 'cause smashing stuff is always good fun. Light stuff on fire, I'd probably have a huge fire constantly burning at my new home. Of course I would contain it safely so it didn't burn anything down.

Then I could do a bunch of not so destructive things like go to the beach, watch all the DVD's I wanted, play all the computer games I wanted. And what ever the hell I thought of next!

This question reminds me of M1 A1 from Gorillaz. The first part at least. Haunting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZurS1L3cV48

A generator of some kind would be the most important thing I think.
If you were the only person on earth, you would never run out of food or petrol.
I doubt I could contact NASA from New Zealand.
I have that doco the OP was talking about, quite interesting. Spoiler alert:
flying cats ftw! (highlight) Well, gliding but it's still awesome.
/serious

I would train my cat to fight like a pokemon and we would walk about going on adventures batting other animals and such.
Me and him against the world!

Oh and you could repopulate if you were a female and in the vincity of a certain type of bank.

Find a car
Drive to the airport
Find a little plane
Attempt to fly
Either crash... or fly around...
Then I would fly to some store, buy a volleyball (Umm yeah, buy... I would leave some money there in case someone is coming back)
Then fly to some empty (lol they all are) island that has fruit trees and other stuff you could need to survive.
Then live happily ever after with the volleyball... I shall call him Wilson

no world peace ever, even if humans did go away. animals will still fight and war with each other

also as for the sperm thing, that wont work either as all they are is part of a human being that attaches to another part of a human being to make a full one. the sperms would disapear also as they are still all alive in frozen form and technically, still human in some ways and would also go away with the rest of them. so if someone would be the only person left, theyd better be a hermaphrodite or otherwise...no human race rebuild

Can you rebuild the human population again?
technically, first off, you couldn't repopulate the earth seeing as your the last human alive..
But i would probably do the typical thing, explore until finally ending it all..
Which makes me wonder why only every human vanished.
Not other creatures, just humans. Did aliens take them away? Too bad you couldn't live for millions upon millions of years,
you could watch the Earth become "pure" again, free from human contamination.

lots of creatures exist that dont have brains but they are alive..like germs and bacteria. life in its simplest form, like ameobas....thats where life comes from and they dont have brains but they still live. jellyfish also do not have a brain but they are alive

we cant be bred from something that isnt alive, our sperm and eggs would be useless if they werent alive. if i went to a sperm bank and they didnt freeze it, it would eventually die, and then become useless and cant be used to breed. thats why they freeze it, to keep it alive for future use otherwise it goes off

sperms and eggs have to be alive in order for them to work. and that is why if all huimans were taken off the planet, what they use to breed would also be taken away as its just essentially the tool kit for a human being and part of us...i mean we do make the stuff after all

Take a gun, practice shooting, try on moving target, learn to never forget to shoot twice and I'm ready to protect myself.After I'll probably find a car and learn how to drive it.When I have some freetime because there is so much to do I'll take all the money I can find and burn it since it have no more power.Find a dog and/or a cat and make them my friends.Make them hunt some animals like duck and chicken so I can eat.Also find a pig because I like bakin.Kill dangerous animals with my shooting skills.Make some stupid videos and leave a camera, a tv and a cd player in case the human race come back again so they can know how stupid we can be. uhhh... Do everything I always wanted to do.
Suicide when I'm fully happy so I'll have good memories of life. Then the one that write the life can finally put The End at the bottom of the page.

I would get everything I've ever wanted. Teach myself to shoot and drive. When I run out of petrol or electricity, I would explore.

And I would read alot.

But where did humans go? Has a contagious freak cancer of the uvula killed everyone? (I am immune)
Is it a zombie apocalypse?
Have the Beliebers taken over?

I'll need a gun.

Interesting fact: a website told me I could take on 12 Justin Biebers in a fight.

Nucleus =/= brain; nucleus is merely a bubble to store DNA and other stuff in and has pores to allow the entry of ribosomes.
Prokaryotes (bacteria) have ringed DNA and plasmids rather than a nucleus filled with DNA.

Sperm n eggs are gametes which are cells. Each has 23 chromosomes of single chromatids if I remember correctly and so when sperm n egg join you get the full set of 46 chromosomes with single chromatids which is enough for a human cell.

Interesting ones would be viruses which have DNA and very little else to my knowlege, arguable whether they are alive.


Relevant to the thread I'd read a book or something, try and keep sane .
