You are the last human on Earth. What now?

[Stephanos132]

I make a thread on how to curb the worlds blatantly obvious state of overpopulation...

More seriously, I'd probably work out how to build a self-contained starship and take myself to the heavens where I can wonder the cosmos until the end.

 

[azurine]

Treat the world as if I'm playing Minecraft.

 

[Jandau]

I'd take up genetic engineering and try to reboot the human race. Yeah, it would be a bit incestuous at best, but give it a few thousand years for the genetic drift to do its thing and things would get better.

Also, depending on the level of tech available to me, I might be able to synthesize the DNA of other people or simply alter my own DNA samples to provide the initial variance, thereby avoiding or mitigating the effects of inbreeding.

Basically, I'd save the human race. Nothing better to do, really...

 

[I Have No Idea]

Probably die of chronic masturbation.

Way to make your first post count, eh?

I'd probably explore. A lot. Then probably go mad.

 

[Naqel]

Redefine "animal husbandry", maybe?

 

[Whateveralot]

I'd probably go to a place where animals can thrive in the wild and make a living there. But electricity will soon die out and nuclear power plants will melt down. I'll have to go away from the US and EU at least. I could take a plane and load it with food, weapons to hunt, stuff to make fires, building materials and as much knowledge as possible and fly to Africa, far away from the impending radiation.

 

[Danceofmasks]

Rejoice, for my mission is accomplished.

 

[Dantedeathhermit PS3]

Id probably try to get as much perishable food and eat it before it goes off and i have to live off canned food.

you seem to be assuming you can't hunt or collect wild food.
it's not like anyone's gonna miss their copy of "living like a hunter-gatherer digest" now are they?

 

[monkey_man]

I would attempt cloning, I mean, it has worked before with sheep, time for a human test! I could even try to create a female and recreate the human race (with clones). I would just take a cow's bit, empty it, put my bit in it and hope it'll work. If I fail I try again. Until I die.

If I succeed, raise the child, make more clones, and start a clone species, and clone many , so I can send them away to some other part of the globe to expand our species, and reclaim earth! The clones'll need assault rifles to fend off the lions though. And I would only teach them English, the superior language

 

[ToastiestZombie]

There is two kinds of replies in this thread. The ones that say you would run around and wank to everything, and the ones that say you would try to start something new and think about what the human race was like.

Im going to go with the former and say I would go around and wank at lots of famous things, take pictures then make levels in lbp2 creatively using said pictures!

 

[BNguyen]

it'd be pretty much like Life After People - without engineers and electricians, everything would rot and run down and there would be no power to run anything in less than a week
so there's not really much you can do but be like that guy from the Twilight Zone who only wanted to read

 

[Palfreyfish]

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..."

And then the cycle begins again....

 

[rayen020]

While there is still power find a way to shut down the nearest nuclear power plants. Then i need a bigger house so i'm doing that. After that i'd find a couple of solar panels and and a wind turbine, hook it up to my house so i have electricity. Then it's time to go shopping, time to find a new car, probably a truck from uhaul maybe something bigger. Going to lowes/home depot to pick up couple of fridges and freezers also some spare wood and materials for any damage my new house may sustain, also maybe build an expansion if i need it. also need a gieger counter (for the record i watched a after humans thing the other day, apparently the biggest problem if humans diappeared is most of the nuclear plants would melt down and release massive amounts of radiation). then to wal-mart. as much canned food as i can get, also anything easily perserved. as much frozen food as i can get back with out it all melting/spoiling. then on to entertainment, movies, books, video games. This will probably be more than one trip. Also need guns, maybe a fishing rod. Gotta stop by the garden section pick up seeds to make my own garden to grow food. i'd spend the first week busting open door and windows to release pets, i'd stop by the zoo and make sure all those animals go free (the big cats and other predators will be interesting).

after that first week it's just survival and as many games as i can play.

Imagine the rest of the entire human race would just vanish. You are the last human on this planet. All the animals and plants are still alive but no remains of any other human are to be found. What do you do? Steal/loot places? Continue playing video games? Both?

For me, I'd ride my bike to (and in) the shopping district and malls. I'd steal all the video games and food I can carry and cycle to the biggest house I can find.

I will eventually turn mad, with the lack of people to talk to and well... multiplayer. The video games will only keep me going for a little while. As well as the food, everything will expire eventually.

Being the last human, the last thing I would do is... well... I don't know... I REALLY can't think of anything else to do apart from playing video games... -sigh-.

How about you? What would you do if you were suddenly the last human in this exact moment in time?

Really? You have the entire world to yourself, privacy and freedom are an absolute guarantee, and aside from playing video games and riding to (and in) a shopping mall is all you can think of? Trust me, the Smoothie Galaxy and the Cinno-bunz may not be all you remember it to be when there's no one there to make the product. Also: Gamestop employees are no longer stoner douchebags, because they're no longer alive.

 

[Robert Watts]

I would probably just leave nature to take over from the blight of humanity, get a generator and collect A LOT of fuel, collect porn, and then reproduce with animals to create a new super race.
(by this time I'd have gone mildly insane, so it's not messed up, it's just eccentric)

 

[Alssadar]

I'd probably go insane (As my sanity has always been in question) and then be sad with everybody gone.
I'd develop friends from my imagination/and or objects, like I shall still maintain some level of thought to name a ball Wilson.
I'd then probably just struggle with an existence, but live nearby food stores and never run out food (Or, just migrate)
With my levels of sanity in question, I might be able to read some books and play some long video games to distract me from my current predicament.
But, nonetheless, I'll also try spending most of my time riding a motorcycle, and traveling, with hope, to find some other survivor somewhere.

 

[carlmolina]

live in stores,
play games,
teach myself to drive,
learn to use guns,
travel around,
eventually kill myself with lots of explosives.

 

[LifeSentence]

Assuming they won't come back, off myself.

 

[The Night Shade]

1-Steal Tank
2-Go Crazy

 

[NightHawk21]

Assuming electricity and water and what not are working since you're playing video games, I'ld grab as much food and refrigirate it as possible to keep me fed for a short while. Then I'ld bum around for a bit playing video games going on the internet. Plus there was some cool stuff in my university's science labs I've been wanting to play with.
