Would you welcome a Zombie apocalypse

Jesus Wept

I'm pretty damned bored, I've spent much of the day clicking on the internet even though it is giving me little pleasure. If there were a zombie apocalypse, I'd probably have been a bit more active, killing zombies for example. Or trying to secure my apartment somehow.

I don't have any kids, so that isn't a concern.

Are you for it or agin it?

If there was a Zombie Apocalypse you'd still spend your time locked in your room - except with no fukking internet.
Be careful what you wish for!

From the amount of of post-apocalyptic media I've consumed between movies, video games and novels, I kinda assume I'd end up running the world.

No, I enjoy the daily drudgery that is my life

Absolutely id welcome one ,

Only because I have guns and chainsaws here and I wouldn't have to get a divorce from the wife

LETHAL LADY

If you were to ask me on a Monday I'd say yeeeeeeees. Can we slaughter non zombie enemies and pretend they were zombies?

I can't imagine the justice system will be operating too well, sure who would stop you or disprove your claims that someone had turned. Free for all really, enjoy smiting your enemies.

I'm not ruthless enough to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Chances are that the Zombies you will be facing will be slowpers, easy too kill and easy to outrun.

your problem, even in a Zombie apocalipse, will be the living.

Adults into the zombie thing is a bit cringe to be honest.

Not necessarily. It won't be the walking dead, of course, but all it takes is for rabies to mutate or for cordyceps to cross over to humans - it's already crossed from one insect species to another.

Anyway, it's fun to think about.

Also - relevant - I love my mug

The Backwards Man

There are 400 billion trees in the Amazon alone, trillions of fish, hundreds of trillions of insects. Zombie people are just a speck on the horizon, these are the organisms you should be doomsday prepping for.

not when it's a zombie apoc mate, don't fancy your chances if you are prepping for the wrong thing while zombies are trying to eat your brains

As long as they're not them mad fast running screaming zombies like in that film, yeah I'd be up for it. Those fckers are scary.

Old Perry

Good luck to ya. if your idea of zombie apocelypse is the walking dead then youre in for a surprise if it actually happens . the likes of isis and places like middle america would thrive in such a situation, us silly westerns would crumble and fall very quickly without our fictional guidance.

cassid

The 6 year old is a really slow runner, so we would be screwed if chased by zombies, so as I kinda love the kids, going to have to say lets give it a miss.

When don't you do some voluntary work to keep you busy,

Ah Ann you've just been Rodgered.:p

I do genuinely fantasise about zombie invasions when I'm in Woodies. I could be there for a bag of composte or something quite mundane, but I still make sure I take the rubber lump hammer for a test drive of sorts.

Really, it's your one-stop shop for surviving such an event. Firstly, ridding the building of its zombie element would be ridiculously simple - and quite fun. Nail guns. Hammers. Chisels. Drills. Sledgehammers. Screwdrivers. The causes of death is endless.

And if you want to dispose of the bodies for some reason, you could go all mafia and drag them out to the garden. Shovel. Lime. Bob's your uncle but.

Secondly, if killing these creatures has grown quite tedious, and you want to keep them out once and for all, build a wall! Fetch some building sand and cement. Mix them with a 4:1 ratio, before adding a touch of water and voila, you've got yourself mortar. Pick yourself up some bricks, and a trowel, then go to work.

Finally, you'll probably be quite hungry and thirsty after all that killing and building. If only Woodies had vending machines. Oh wait they do. Live on a diet of Lilt and Wispas until the cavalry arrive.

Anywho, to the answer the question, no I would not welcome a zombie apocalypse because I haven't really thought it through.

Surely irrelevant to zombies if they're already dead?

rossie1977

what type of zombies..the slow moving ones from the original dawn of the dead or the fast f**kers from world war z

then how quick and easy in terms of changeover, is it like seconds if you get blood in your eye/mouth like in 28 days later (even though they were not zombies) or take much longer to change as in the original dawn of the dead

If they were still dead then they wouldn't be coming after you. That's another thing: how exactly do zombies break coffins from the inside and then climb out, when history tells us that they're not strong enough to even get through panel doors?

We're talking about real life here, not the movies...

Anyway, OP, I'd welcome it but not from trivial boredom.
I'd choose my harem very carefully.

"Shoot first and check if they're zombies second" is my motto.


I'd equally enjoy a Mad Max apocalypse scenario...I'd like to shoot someone for having an annoying haircut.

Summer wind

I find that option 3 usually matches my viewpoint best

Oh no no no no nooooooo. I can't even watch movies with zombies in them. If there ever was real zombies they wouldn't get to eat my live brain because I'd drop dead with fright before they could get to me. I guess that means I'd be a zombie then. Oh no no no no nooooooo:eek:

The Night of the Living Dead ones.

Not the 28 Days Later fast moving ones. You'd never rest.

Zombie apocalypse!! Welcome!! Come in, come in....

It'd shut most up about asylum seekers, muslims and single mothers at least.

If there was one, youd be a zombie. Internet clicking bored people are always the first to go. Dont you ever watch teen horror movies?
