You are the last human on Earth. What now?

[sheah1]

Suicide, but not by my own hand (just in case the catholics are right), I'd just as much fun stuff as possible before I'm eaten by an animal/die from base jumping/blow myself up.

 

[zf6hellion]

Science.
I am reasonably certain I could produce a clone, because I would have access to all of the scientific materials I would need as well as be free of regulations. The resulting race of humans would be all-female, unless there continued to exist sperm banks, in which case: In vitro fertilization. For me and all my clones I guess. Also, there will be libraries and labs and things to learn and create. And I will have to hope I have good enough birthing hips for all this repopulating I'll need to do. Unless I can build tanks..... tanks for baby-growing, and all the sperm banks will be easy to break into, as well as the egg-banks (I really don't know what those are called). But mostly there will be no competition for scientific funding and zero paperwork for ordering chemicals. I'll amass a pack of dogs, and rescue any pets I can from locked houses. I'll write books and learn to play an instrument. But mostly I will work on baby-tanks and cloning, and research how to perform a C-section should it be necessary. I will learn all of the medical knowledge I can. I am pretty sure I would sob quite a bit. But I'll work my ass off to repopulate the earth, and instill a great respect for education and science in the new civilization. Also, I will have achieved my dream of ruling the world.

I'll really miss sex though.

You could always have sex with yourself as celebration of successfully cloning yourself, I guess? Just a suggestion... A terrible one.

OT: If I was the last remaining human on Earth, I would not steal anything. Why? Because it no longer belongs to anyone, so its free to take. =D

In all seriousness I'd lounge around for a week and do whatever I wanted. After that, I'd buckle down, try to come up with the drive to do something awesome (Like progenitor a new intelligent race, or cloning). Otherwise, I'd just bite the bullet.

Enough research into the human genome has already been completed that if I can find the right lab, equipment, and notes I should be able to make several copies of myself (probably lose several hundred of them to mutations for every viable clone all in all, but desperate times...) Proceed to teach them what I can and what their goals in life should be. Some would have to learn to maintain the nuke reactor powering the lab for example. (has to be nuclear, we won't be able to obtain new fuel for quite some time) Others would be responsible for first gathering, then producing food/other resources

Next phase once both time and sufficient hands have been achieved is genetic modification. If the other "disappearing" humans left behind genetic material, frozen blood samples, hair, skin cells, etc, reviving the human race would be fairly easy at this point. If not, things are just a mite tougher. Fortunately, as a male, new genetic material is not strictly necessary, the female variation of the genome is already present. Again, there will be all too many stillbirths and genetic defects, with time and patience however the human race will not die out.

I'd have to retire long before this process was completed, and would likely finish my days compiling a guide for the new generations to follow in establishing a new version of society, drawing heavily from the information resources left behind by current sociologists.

...orrr, I could try and attempt the above, fail miserably, and go play a "salvaged" copy of Skyrim untill the power dies out.

 

[Rainbowloid]

I'd probably read up on farming and hunting and get myself some land and a weapon and hopefully figure everything out from there. Then I guess I'd find a sperm bank and get started on repopulating the species.

 

[Wedlock49]

I'll go punch some trees.

 

[Blue Hero]

Have sex with rocks until rocks evolve and grow ovaries so I can populate the planet with my rockling children.

 

[zf6hellion]

I only had a quick read of a few of the posts. Few ideas im going to kill.

1- play video games. You can't play video games, unless you can work a power plant by yourself to supply the electricity to play the games.

2- Do drugs. Again unless you can make the drugs yourself, you're not doing anything.

I'd probably go make friends with the gorrilas cause you know, they'd be taking over.

There's holes in this that are easily pointed out.

1. As pointed out in this very thread, solar power can solve this if you learn how, and other power sources will remain active if for a short while.

2. No, I'm pretty sure the local pharmacy has a very good stock of drugs, and, y'know, just because the dealers vanished doesn't mean their supplies did.

 

[StarCecil]

Write a brief history of the fall of the human race on a kindle.

Hook it up to a solar panel array, and a radio transmitter, in a desert.

Promptly commit suicide because fuck going crazy.

Aliens eventually come, and their sensors pick up the beacon, as it's the only signal on earth.

They decipher it and it comes to be their religious text, and wars are fought between factions with different interpretations of the text.

They will eventually wipe themselves out.

"You're the last Zerblorp on planet Klondike..."

 

[Christopher Dudgeon]

1) Figure out how to operate a Power Plant
2) Locate the nearest Biotech Lab
3) Figure out how to clone and change the sex of the clone
4) Have fun playing with myself............

Go to the house across the road or next door's house. They're million pound mansions, so that's good. Then I'd drive into town and pack as much stuff as I could into the car and take it back to this house. Then I'd wonder how long the electric grid will last without anyone working it, because there aren't any generators that I know of around here except for the ones in cars.

 

[Jake Lewis Clayton]

Pretty much anything I wanted.

Firstly finding enough fuel to keep my generator going for when the electricity stopped (you know it wouldn't shut it straight away).

Actually if you live near liverpool (guessing from your picture) your most probably fueled by fiddlers ferry.

Which would go offline within hours of being unmanned

 

[Chris^^]

Ride around on a bike getting high and masturbating in public places. Also 'borrowing' military equipment to blow stuff up.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Masturbate naked in the middle of streets

 

[Boba Frag]

AGH! The Escapist ate my post!! Grrrrrr.

Screw it then.

Shame, I spent a lot of time on it...

Sum up- I Am Legend but with recording the events of the last century properly and setting up some kind of trail for whoever finds it to follow around the small part of the world I could get to, sort of a swansong for my kind.

Like the Protheans in Mass Effect.

 

[Truniron]

If I suddenly waked up one day to find out that everyone, except me, I would probably begin thinking "What the hell happened?" Afterwards, I would start exploring and do all kind of crazy shit; borrow a shit load of games, step into the presidents place and act like I own the country. After a while, the insanity would probably take over my mind. I mean, knowing that no one will ever look at you, talk to you, listen to you, love you, help you... you are all by yourself. That would more or less lead to a quiet and sad suicide.

 

[Panorama]

Be really happy for like 10-15 minutes knowing i can't be called up at any point to ask me to come into work, and have a permanent holiday, and then go and still everything i could just for the hell of it, do i need a new sombrero to go with the other 50 i just stole not really but i will have it anyway, then get really depressed and then get a Plane that has been recently fueled and have a go at flying it and within say 5 minutes end up dead.

 

[lettucethesallad]

I'd loot canned goods, then the library. I'd read up on old-fashioned agriculture and building techniques. After that I'd probably take over the farm near my apartment building with horses, cows, pigs, sheep and chickens, and work the land. I'd probably be lonely, but having been raised in a rural farm community I'd be able to clothe and feed myself almost comfortably. Then I'd live out my days.

I'm guessing that since everyone's gone, electricity and stuff won't work, so no more games. As for IV-fertilization, I'd have to think fast if I wanted to repopulate the earth - without electricity the sperm banks would turn useless pretty damn quick.

 

[Jakub324]

Without my friends bugging me about coming out, I'd be able to get more coursework done!

 

[Dr_Pie]

To those of you saying you'd use back-up generators and the like, you're in luck. If it's one of those 'humans just vanished' deals, or at least all the cars/fuel stations are still around, gasoline can last for about a year before going bad, and even then you've probably got a few months left in it before it's unusable.
