In all honesty, I don't think I would survive a robot uprising. But I really do think I have at least a chance in a zombie apocalypse.

Definitely robot uprising, a zombie doesn't have a built in advanced weapons targeting system.

Robot Uprising seems more realistic.
Zombie Apocalypse seems like it could be more fun, and I'm more prepared for it.

*goes to make emp grenades just in case*

I say we should be more afraid of a zombie apocalypse and more specifically my friend who is going to be going into the military to be a weapons developer. He's a chemistry/physics maniac who told me if he get bored one day he will mess around with stuff. With me being his shoulder angel I am helping the earth. You can thank me now.

In that case, I'm more worried about zombies, but I'd think that if robots where to become self aware and decide they want to overthrow humanity, I'd imagine they'd be pretty advanced and equipped with some pretty badass weaponry.

EMP for Robots Shotguns For Zombies.....But cupcake Terrorists? Are they after the Cupcakes or they use em as weapons?
And how would you generate said EMP? Shouting EMP is not some sort of magic bullet against robots. Magnetic shielding exists, EMPs are just a common misconception spread by lazy writing.

I don't really care since I have plans for both instances, perhaps robots make Zombie slaves then your screwed.

robots are simple EMP is mildly flawed but could work. but seriously a complex logic loop would kill them all. Zombies there coming will you be ready. "curently checking zombie survival kit as we speak".

I think a robot uprising could occur after a zombie break out. Think about it, robots would be an excellent weapon against zombies for obvious reasons. But what if the robots fail to recognize the infected and uninfected? Or they could simply decide to take over now that they are mobilized for battle.

Robot uprising might actually happen. Zombies aren't real but the the way technology is upgrading it's very posible that robots can try something

Do you mean which is more likely to happen or which would be more dangerous?

Robot uprising is just a matter of malignant code spread out across whatever connection they form. But we can easily take them out with a few well-placed EMP blasts.

Zombies, at least to the extent of my research, aren't biologically possible. The solution (quarantine) would cost more lives, but in the grand scheme wouldn't cause as much destruction and chaos as the robots.

It's the damn cupcakes we have to worry about. They lure you in with their creamy frosting and moist... er, cake. Then, when you least expect it... BOOM there go your intestines.

I suppose that depends on the type of zombie. I, for one,always think of the Max Brooks World War Z variety when I hear the word "zombie", but the deadites of the Evil Dead series would be more of a threat.Based on the World War Z archetype, I would have to say robots are a bigger threat,since they're capaple of thought and a lot harder to kill- not to mention very unlikely to stay down permanently.
Well if we're being at all serious neither of those is possible, muscles and such require bodily functions to be intact (cellular respiration still needs to occur) so zombies won't be any more death-resistant than humans. However, a real zombie virus could be much scarier than max brooks' zombies because there is no reason the virus/bacteria can't be airborne except that it would really suck. There is also no reason zombification has to make you stupider, in fact I remember someone suggesting once that in theory a virus could stimulate brain cell growth making zombies smarter than humans, and I suppose this could also be true of muscles/tendons/ligaments, so zombies could actually be far superior creatures to us humans.

However, there is virtually no limit to how smart or strong a robot can be, and I see artificial intelligence as a much more likely threat than zombies, so I would say they are much scarier to me

The zombie apocalypse is more imminent, but as long as we nerds are well-prepared and develop good zombie plans, we can survive. Robots are a lot harder to kill, and not nearly as stupid or slow. Not to mention there can only be as many zombies as there are people: robots would figure out how to manufacture themselves and effective create an infinite supply of robots.

i vote intelligent post

Honestly guys, these are getting boring.

OT, I'd say robots 'cause they're harder to kill. Zombies are puny, so long as you have an old Benelli in the flat.

OH SHIT, MY DAD JUST SOLD OUR GUN!
No seriously, he did.
