what would you do if a solar flare knocked out the power in your country?

(was remembered of this by that S.A.S man making a new series :) )

"what I would do?" you ask

10 minuets after blackout: go get me a new computer and maybe a new stereo system for a big party I’m going to have (of course though looting)

20 minuets later: have a violent tantrum realising there is no power and no phone signal

1 minuit later: drink all the beer in the house while its still cool

20 minuets later: turn on T.V

Fraction of a second later: throw T.V out of window then realise I have nothing to do

1 minuet later: pass out from too much beer

Few hours later: wake up seeing my house has been robbed say “god dammit” go to get drink of wat…er “GOD DAMMIT!”

Ten seconds later: drink pond water

5 minuets later: have a nap

1 hour later: go loot some porn

5..ow who am I kidding? 1 second later: try to catch my fish

30 seconds later: after catching fish realise I have no fire and can’t start one to save my life

10 minuets later: steal a solar powered van and pick up my "crew", some bitches, a giant solar powered fridge full of beer, tons of (looted) KFC chicken (made by solar powered K.F.C) and S.OA.D + nuclear powered instruments then I would drive somewhere to have a party

30 minuets later: find a giant (solar) mansion and kick out the guy that lives there

A few hours later: wake up tied up in someone’s basement

Hang out...

Spend the five hours of battery on my laptop surfing the interweb

Maybe go on a walk?

I don't know... we get a lot of black outs up here... so it's not a big thing.

1. loot

2. hoarde

3. protect.




4. eat and drink everything in the fridge. throw everything in the freezer at passers by and those trying to steal my looted stuff! :mad:

5. get drunk (yes i looted plenty of beer) and find some weed. enjoy

Hit the beach.

Burn people I don't like and claim I needed them for navigational purposes.

Play my battery-powered PSP....until it loses power 3 hours later.

Then I play my battery-powered GBASP for the remaining 10 hours. :D

Hook up my solar charger to my PSP and laugh at all you unprepared types. :p

Hook up my rechargeable power supply to my electric cooler and laugh at you unprepared types.

When it gets dark, I'll turn on my rechargeable lantern, dance naked in the moonlight and when I get tired, I'll have a cool frosty beverage and watch some movies on my PSP. Then I'll laugh at you unprepared types. :)

After the initial confusion, I'm sure I'd scramble for my camping gear and have a little tent party in my backyard. Only, it would be very limited.....especially once I realized that my phones didn't work anymore.....

Thank God I have a bike and a garden with natural irrigation.

I'd cry.

I'd get very, very pissed.

I'd go loot some place to get solar panels.

I'd hook them up.

I'd defend my place, and otherwise relax.

Get a large group of easily-influenceable people drunk.

Start up a radical Sun Cult by convincing them I am their messiah.

Take said Cult to Raze and Pillage the country, in the name of some holy symbol.

Pillage booze.

Burn the witches.

Drink pillaged booze.

Sleep.

Wake up.

Realize my cult left.

Try and go home.

Unable to find home, start digging a tunnel to China in hopes they have still have power.

Dig too deep and start screaming, because I am unable to get out.

Wait for someone to come and help.

Damn and I'd probably be asleep from exhaustion by then.

Holy Crap on stick.... lmfao!

I'd wank alone in the dark with a lampshade over my head...

What?

1. start generator.
2. run out of gas.
3. convert generator to hamster power.
4. realise two hamsters aren't going to make much power, revise plan
5. pillage booze, throw party
6. drug guests, take ugly partygoers as hamster-slaves, cute girls as concubines.
7. relax as the hedonistic ruler of an island empire.

What?

So what will have changed? ;)

It seems everybody will be out to pillage booze.

It's quite the common theme among responses.

It is good.

We have a common goal.

So therefore we must band together and in sheer numbers we will be able to take over THE WORLD!

Knocked out power to the point of stone-age primitivism?

Sounds like every hurricane season here on the Gulf Coast in Florida! :D
