What if you were the last person on Earth?

Hangings often end quite badly. People could be left suffering for hours and hours.

A good hangman wasn't trying to choke you, they were trying to snap your neck.

I'm well aware of that, the knot was what actually did the snapping. THere are even cases of hangings pulling off the head, I think it happened to Saddam's brother.

It doesn't go wrong that often and people like Michael Hutchence show that you can actually have a good time while hanging yourself! In any case, that's why I said if you did it right, but then if you did it even better you could snap your neck and end it even quicker.

Do anything i ever want whenever i want absolutely naked all the time, then find the secret government test facilities and use their super drugs to make myself superhuman.

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

So I am guessing this is the "everyone just suddenly disappeared" last person scenario rather than an "everyone died in the Apocalypse" "Or everyone is dead but still walking around scenario" yes?

Well I would be very wary that first day/night making sure it is the previous and that no undead are going to come rushing at me or a mutant will jump me at night. Once confirmed that such was the case, I would set up supplies and continue on till my time was up. But wait, are we assuming the animals are all gone as well? If so, it is going to be nigh impossible to scrounge up enough food to survive, so I will just assume only people have mysteriously disappeared.

Now if it seems a bit cold-hearted that I would just go on my business as if nothing were different despite everyone being gone, keep in mind going into isolation somewhat living out in the woods is my retirement plan anyways.

 

[standokan]

..basicly like Minecraft then?

I suppose that I'd fuck around until I get too sad and then end it all? Maybe I'll be able to comvince muself that everybody'll come back cuz suicide is just a bad way to go.

 

[Shycte]

Aw shit. I'd probably kill myself after a while.

 

[ECasThat]

For me, it may end a little like this.

 

[Apollo45]

Two words: Nuclear holocaust.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

Well first, I'd steal me some god-damn Ferraris. then I'd probably spend a while on the edge of complete mental collapse because everyone I ever knew, liked, and/or loved was gone. But then I'd be empowered by the fact that I had outlasted all as the epitome of human survival. Then it would probably be lunch time, so I'd get some lunch, or whatever would pass-off as lunch in the post-apocalypse (if Fallout has taught me anything, it's that I can survive indefinitely on 200-year-old Cola and irradiated fruit). Then I'd set my iPod on shuffle and go for a wander. When it finally runs out of songs to play, then I'll stop and set up my home to irk out the rest of my (and the species') existence.

Having said that, knowing my luck I'd get crushed by a falling plane or something.

 

[Mkid]

I will not wear a stitch of clothing
steal a car
travel the world
go insane
live my life really badass (a badss that eats only plants)
Probably stop working out (who am i trying looking good for)
and after a couple weeks of fun... ugh probably end up shooting myself....
(im not good at science so i cant clone myself nor find some tricky way to get around ending humanity, so sorry. human will now be over)

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

i'd be the king of the puppet kingdom !

Edit: and porn will be involved, LOTS AND LOTS OF PORN

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Die. I'd like to leave something for the aliens for when they eventually find the planet. I know nothing of growing my own food, so to be completely honest I wouldn't last very long. I would probably play a lot of video games, though.

 

[One Seven One]

Learn to drive. Live off tinned food until I could grow some cabbages or other vegetables to live off. Do whatever I felt like to be honest though I'd probably end up doing something stupid and dying painfully. Also why no animals? I want a dog to be mates with

Mostly to keep anyone from thinking they'd have to build some defense against wild animals.
Also it kept anyone from having any emotional ties to a pet so they could feel free to think up anything they wanted. >.<

What if you were so bored with your life that you had to post clichéd questions that you somehow seem to think are deep and philosophical?

It's a question I had in my head and was wondering what other people would do in that situation, it's just out of interest.

Heh, the Minecraft thing didn't hit me until after I posted it. xD

...
I did not think of the falling planes... D:

 

[Feralcentaur]

For one thing, i would be able to scratch my pirvates without having to check if anyone is watching me, because no matter how much you check, once you've scratched you will always turn around and see someone looking at you with disgust.


And i would steal me lots and lots of cars.

You could make an entire fort out of cars!
Shame you'd be the only one to see it...

Wait for myself to die from starvation because even though it is possible to live off an entirely vegetarian diet without any Bees and other animals to pollinate the plants they would eventually all die off. Until then though, make a huge playlist of songs and play them on a stereo I'd get from an abandoned Wall-Mart and dance to my death, no eating, no sleeping, only... the dance of death!

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Sorry to disappoint you buddy but if the animals and everyone suddenly disappears your dead within the year.

You'ld need at least animals to have a shot at survival.

If everything did disapper though hell, I finding myself a nice big city (maybe hit up New York) get a gun, find some tobbacco and hopefully find a computer while staying close to a mall with a grocery store.

Shit. Someone tell the vegetarians that they'll be dead within a year. And looting canned goods? What's that?!

As for me, I'd move to the local Wal-Mart, loot all the food I want, loot the pharmacy for some much needed medication, wander around town to build up a supply of generators, and then go through my new collection of movies, games, and books to keep me sane, looting other stores if I can't find what I want. It'd be nice if the Internet also stayed up somehow, so maybe, with nothing else to do, I'd train myself on how to pilot a yacht, steal a nice one, and sail around trying to fix the tubes.

 

[OpticalJunction]

First thing I'd do is explore. I'd want to be sure that I really was the only one alive.

Then I'd probably be upset. Cause, you know, life on planet earth is kinda shit without other people. Even though it can be shit with them, too.

After I was done moping, I'd drive around and find a nice mansion and dump things I found there. Easy living. I'd read a whole lot more, as well as create art.

 

[getofish]

i would take all my cameras that i have for school and make the longest documetary. im talking filling all 60 hours of footage with anything i could. then makeing sure that when i die the recordings can be found by somehting that happens to visit the planet just so they can have some idea about us

 

[Korolev]

I would run to the supermarket, grab as many items of canned food as possible, then I would immediately locate a portable generator..... or maybe 10 portable generators, take them, grab fuel, grab books on mechanical repair, grab tools and find a fresh water source, like a lake or a river. I'd grab water filters, water purification tablets, a truckload of batteries and some guns for which to hunt with.

Without people, there's no one to run the power plants or the water system or grow food for you. That was one of the reasons I sorta hated Zombieland - if everyone's a zombie, how come there's power and water? Without maintenance, or automated systems, power would fail within days. If you're lucky, maybe a power plant could continue to churn out power for a few months, but it's unlikely. Without people, the only fresh water would be what's in the reservoir, and that could quickly go bad if you're not careful.

So the immediate priority would be to secure a portable generator. With care, and maintenance, you could make it last many years. Also, grab as much fuel as possible: coal, lighter fluid, gas, petrol, desiel, oil, wood, anything that can burn, pretty much. You're gonna need it, depending on where you live. Even in warm climates you'll need fuel to cook food or keep a fridge running.

Also, get a fishing rod. Learn to fish. That will be important.

 

[Manatee Slayer]

I'd make sure my glasses were glued to my face.

 

[IDTheftVictim]

well I'd fight off the urge to commit suicide for as long as possible, so to prevent boredom I'd do everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. I would then probably escape into books and video games, so I hope Skyrim is out by then.

Thats what I would do, I'd actually cut myself on a rusty piece of something and die of infection, or eat a poisoned plant, or starve, or be crushed by a worn down building I slept in, or be eaten by a mutated Venus Flytrap, or drown, blow up the car I'm in, fall off my motorbike at 75mph, or die of heat exaustion, or freezing, or die as i attempt to jump from a plane in midair to the crown of the Statue of Liberty(I said I'd do everything), ACCIDENTALY shoot myself, break my legs falling down an open manhole, have a heart attack, or any other kind of death a person with no survivalist expierience can die.
