Dystopian Planet (What Would You Do?)

[mclaincausey]

1: build a reinforced fort out of scrap
2: stockpile weaponry
3: start a cult
4: terrorize, rob, and pillage the surrounding countryside.

In other words, business as usual

[Snowy]

grow cotton, make denim

Actually in Mansfield I'm not entirely convinced that we would notice the change in world. What the OP describes is virtually how we live anyway.

Just to play I'll give it some thought though, I'd be sad to lose communications with some of you ha ha ha ha ha

@jdl1279:

I can hunt, kill, clean, and cook anything that walks

MM,

Please see this part of my statement again

[seawolf]

C'mon Gav! NOTHING would change? Would you hoard your comic books and open a museum?  Would you create a commune of Bald men that's soul purpose is to mate and increase the population?

[jdl1279]

A commune of bald men mating with each other?

[Megatron1505]

My greatest strength in this situation would probably be my almost total lack of empathy for others. I'm a practical person rather than emotional so what I would do would be really boring probably.

• secure my street, I live on a cul-de-sac so only one end to secure.

• surround myself with people I trust

• raid local food and medicine stores

• get armed

• form militia

• stay alert

That's the spirit!

[shoque]

I would be trying to get the Iron Heart website back online…

[derivative666]

I would pimp your women

[Omega Man]

I am going to be Mad Max!

[Seul]

I would be a barber and a barman. And a drunk, bald bitch. Surrounded by other drunk, bald bitches.

My gang and I would travel the country trying to uproot left behind stock of good ales and wines… We'd of course visit Gosport, armed, to plunder the IH stock... And bring flowers for Paula, whom we'd rename to The Rose of Gosport... Of course married to The Fishing Beast of Gosport...

[jdl1279]

That's right D, try to subvert my stealthiest weapon.  ::)

[Chris]

Given the skills and knowledge I've acquired through my hobbies, work history and years of formal education, I feel comfortable saying that in the above scenario, I would die a quick, painful death due to ignorance and general ineptitude.

[jdl1279]

Unfortunately brother, unless death comes at someone else's hands, it's gonna be slow in this scenario.

[sabergirl]

I'm pretty sure that Chris' fate would be my own.  Even though I was born a country-girl, I've been a city-slicker for too long.  I would try my best to find a source of fresh water, stockpile food, and hope that I didn't have to try and fend off any violence.

[natehate]

i'd move into walmart
barricade that shit up tight, enough food and bottled water and ammo for years in one of those fuckers

[jdl1279]

Why does everyone think that's a great option in a situation like this? The fact I have heard numerous mentions of this in hypothetical apocalyptic scenarios, means it is likely the worst idea. Places like that are targets that can't be defended indefinitely.

[riffblaster general]

I'd skate all of the pools left behind.
