What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

Go out and get some new games

I'm the last person alive? WOOHO!! Party at my place and no one is invited!

I would live amonst the animals of the forest!

Not really, though...I'd probably loot...Though I guess it's technically no longer looting...

I would be the King of Thieves!

use the ladies restroom.

Ooookaaay.

I would run to the nearest store and take absoluting everything that catches my fancy.

kill myself. I can't handle being alone.

Find a cloning facility, make a clone of me that is of the opposite sex and hopefully once restoring mankind and becoming the dictator earth doesn't end up like Rimmerworld (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimmerworld).

Hey I'll need company, especially female company.

use the ladies restroom.

use the ladies restroom.

you win infinity.

I'd max out my credit cards.

Read a lot of books and thank God I don't have bad vision.

you win infinity.

whatever, my cloning idea is better:cool:.........provided I learn how to do it.:confused:

Ooookaaay.

What? It's cleaner and has a couch (Or so I've been told)

What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

I would go around reading everything I ever wanted to, now that I have the time, but then my glasses would break and I would start shouting "It's not fair!!!"

I would spend my days hunting and killing vampires while they slumbered until I became a mythic figure or terror for them.

Sounds similar to this situation.

To you: My sister says there isn't....

To myself: I'm the last human, but I'm a virgin. Nooooooooooo!

its a good idea so long as you don't teach them to make thread on online forums :p

Read a lot of books and thank God I don't have bad vision.

"I'm all alone, more time to read my books.." *vision starts to blur*
"At least I have these handy glasses..." *glasses break*
"Well I can read the large print." *goes blind*
"Crap, at least I have brail..." *hands fall off*


"ITS NOT FAIR!!!!"

That's not how it goes.

Man: [wanders down library aisle, dusts off book] Finally, I have all the time in the world... [glasses fall off, shatter] IT'S NOT F-, well, my vision's not that bad, I can still read the large print... [eyes fall out] IT'S NOT-, well, good thing I know Braille [hands fall off] AUUUGH! [tongue falls out, dies]

Fry: [shakes head] Cursed by his own hubris.

I SHALL, MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

On a more serious note, I only give NSG my suckiest threads because NSG sucks :p TFN and II gets my better threads. Fatman, Winged Wars, Silly News(II version) Stringoian wars series, IC News on TFN and the Seige of Comar are all good ones and thats based on the fact that every poster there seems to enjoy them except a few and that no one complains except a few sore losers. You can check the threads out if you don't beleive me.

Edit: You have to be a Baptist, your jabs at my posting skills are repititive and inane since the majority you NSGers have only saw the NSG stuff I posted.

BUt they are cleaner. Goodbye wet toilet seats....

Sorry, seriously does it matter. Same basic concept....:)

Collect as much books and CD's as I can and seal them in plastic bags. Then put them into bank vaults and seal those. keeping a record of which books have been stored.

All the while, writing an account of what happened and sealing bits and pieces in each vault that I seal.

That way, all the knowledge of humans will be safeguarded untill such time when another intelligent lifeform will find them and know what happened.

This idea of "last person alive" scares me. It'd force me to resort to porn and sex toys. The HORROR!!!!:eek:

LOL

Now HERES the real winner.

I'd go to one of the local theatres, give the f.cking concert of my lifetime, then find copies of every play ever written and CDs by all my favourite artists, get fricking wasted on rum, and read, listen to music, and write free-verse poetry until the god of alcohol poisoning took me away.

Ghost Tigers, that's almost Shakespeare. Now all it needs is a dump-truck full of sex jokes. Seriously. The Bard was kind of messed up like that.

LOL

"Dude, that is the info on the Humans we were looking for. Whats this, the Holy Bible..." *other alien leans over to read the first chapter*

"Damn humans. Giving their 'god' credit for our creation. Shit."

except...
1) I believe that Suicide is a sin, so I won't do such a thing.
2) by taking that chore/duty, I will be keeping myself busy. thus hardly bitter (after all, I can catch up on all the comics I've been missing out on, add to that all the classical and other books out there.)
3) Preserving knowledge is never hopeless work. ;)

It is when the greater majority of it is bullshit....but go ahead have at it. Here I'll help you get started. *hands third grade science book*






I failed third grade:(

First, I would probably grieve my lost family. :(

Then I would play in mud. :)

Then I would pine because I have nobody to play with. :(

Then I would take stock of my situation and hoard supplies enough to last me a long time. My first meal would be tacos. :)

THen I would start to worry about how long the ground beef will keep. :(

Then I would laugh happily because I have a lifetime supply of peanut butter cups. :)

Then I would cry because there's nobody to laugh with me. :(

Finally, as the full weight of my plight settles in, I will set up a radio beacon set up to solar panels scrounged from RV dealershps and boating stores to call any UFOs that might land. I would spend the rest of my days creating a maze full of hilarous booby traps, pranks and assorted chaos for any extraterrestrials that might find my landing site after I die. :)

Use the clone idea. ;)

"Holy shit, Obbis, look Gore did when the election. Look some green guy changing the votes. Wait, oh Goddamit, I told you not to give your dickhead cousin a space-time portal. But then again..."

Half the fun of creating thousands of me is the horror on the faces of everyone else. :(

But everyone else is dead, just use their skulls for paperweights or jackolanterns. ;)

"You are know entering the vicenity of an area ajacent to a location...."

"Trick or Treat!.....wait..."

"Hyuck, Hey cuz. The south quaderant shall rise again"

"Green Power, Green Power!"

"Shu' up dip shit! No one knows you exsist yet."

Realistically, do a WHOLE lot of reading on farming and basic survival. Like a ton. In fact, I might actually move my headquarters (and since I'm all alone I can call it a headquarters without anyone snickering) to a library because there is a whole lot I don't know about keeping myself alive without a lot of help from a society.


In the meantime, I know where the Ferrari, Porsche, and Lotus dealerships are in town, and I know where Flying Lizard Racing is headquartered with their Le Mans 911 GT3 race cars, conveniently next to Sears Point (Infenion) Raceway...

I'd become the speed king of Hwy 1, 17 Mile Drive, etc.

And find an armored truck, because I always thought that would be a good post apocalyptic vehicle. Though there isn't anyone else around so I'm only really protecting myself from bears and mountain lions where that truck might be excessive.

And try and see if I can shut off gas vanes so that Earth Abides or whatever that story is called thing doesn't happen and San Francisco doesn't explode. No idea how to shore up against a surge of rats...

Meh, it wouldn't matter, I'd probably die in a 200mph car crash trying to see what a Carrera GT could do. (more than I could, would be the answer)

which episode?
:confused:

*cue music from X-Files*

...lordy...

:confused:

The whole show's formula.

What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

So... basically nothing's changed.

...lordy...



The whole show's formula.

ahh...

"Green Power, Green Power!"

"Shu' up dip shit! No one knows you exsist yet."

"Ah, but I made us some moon moonshine"

Pyramid of skulls. The end.

I would be like that Twilight Zone Episode with the guy alone with his books then his glasses break. YAY Irony!

Only I would raid all the adult stores and add them to my stash before finding a way to revieve my boyfriend so we can recreate the human race. :fluffle:

So... basically nothing's changed.

Yep, except the teeny tiny fact that every other human is dead and gone.

I would still correct your grammar :p

On the plus side, if I survive, then both the Palestinians and the Isrealis find some common ground, Belfast settles down, Taiwan's freedom is secure, America's expansionism grinds to a halt, Communism is eradicated, the terrorists are beaten, and North Korea can no longer nuke the world. :)

My first meal would be tacos. :)

Ha ha... tacos rule.

Since I assume all the other humans just dropped dead and were not disintegrated in a hellish firestorm from which no living thing could hope to escape, I would begin by transforming myself into a lich and would then proceed to raise an enormous undead army. Then, I would use my undead slaves to invent effective and useful space travel (preferably in huge ships made of bone). Naturally, due to the immortal nature of the undead, there would be no particular time frame. I would just get it done.

Following this, I would proceed to colonize the solar system and, eventually, the surrounding star systems. Any life I encounter will be summarily executed, their technologies assimilated and improved upon, and their dead raised to fuel the armies of death. After that... I dunno... the universe?

I win!

Right up until you realize that you actually don't know how to become a lich. Or another alien race simply firestorms your holdings and you, sending your suspended soul to whatever Hell you happen to believe in.

Sounds similar to this situation.

That was the Omega Man, starring Charlton Heston.

I was going to do the same thing, but with robots instead of undead. But then again, all roads lead to Rome...

I would spend all my time searching for someone else because if I survived I would assume someone else did too (even if I was the last person.)

use the ladies restroom.

Pfft. You don't have to be the only person on the planet to do that.


I would be terribly lonely being the last person on earth. I would make inane comments that no one would laugh at. Well, that's not terribly different, but at least at the moment, there's potential for laughter. If I were all alone, I would have nothing but pornograhy, department stores and cheese to keep me company.

Well, I guess it wouldn't be all that bad.

Read a lot of books and thank God I don't have bad vision.

It's not fair.... it's just not fair....

My the last person on Earth what would I do? That makes no sense. :confused:

finally time to just sit and play video games all day. i will even do it naked.

I'd start by releasing animals from zoos and shelters. Sure, I can't possibly free every animal worldwide before most of them starve, but I can save some.

After a few weeks, that job will be "done", so I will move on to playing with high explosives at the nearest military base.

I will then go to Ft. Knox and take a nap on a big pile of gold.

Next, circumnavigate the world by boat.

Followed by suicide...find me a hot-air balloon and some oxygen, and take it up as high as I can (Wiki says the record is almost 70,000 ft (21000 meters))

...the final few minutes should be fun. :p

suppose it would be wise to think of the animals. as long as you don't get any ideas to try and repopulate with them.

Last guy on planet:*begins to go mad and starts seeing mirages* Michelle? Is that you? *looks at a female monkey of some sort* *ends up sparking a new form of human life... half human, half monkey*

And so it begins...again :p

ROTFLMFAO! :D:D:D

This couldn't be better timed!

I'd smash open a lottery ticket machine and scratch all the lottery tickets.

Then when I'd go and tell my friends, I'd realize they wouldn't be there, so I'd get sad.

suppose it would be wise to think of the animals. as long as you don't get any ideas to try and repopulate with them.

No, I won't be "repopulating" with animals.

(Eww :p)

use the ladies restroom.

erm...whasa so special about that? i understand that to mean you have not been to a gay bar, or been that drunk before.

ive done both, and both times used the womens bathroom. nothing exciting, hard to breathe with all the damn hairspray, nailpolish, and paint fumes.

... for your plan, I will leave you the map to the Legendary Head of Vecna!

May you reign supreme with this, most powerful of artifacts!

*nods*

SCORE! D&D saves my ass again!

SCORE! D&D saves my ass again!

Quoted to prevent Deletion! :p

wow, that would be wierd, like twilight zone wierd, well first i would walk through a city and listen to the dead silence, and then i would try to find food, but the women part is going to be tough.

Declare myself emperor of the solar system and fire nukes into the sun. Then I would somehow attempt to create a female human, in the appearance of Jessica Alba. Then after a good while spent on reproducing, I would start creating a ship that I can take to some other planet which is populated with grays, and anal probe them. Damn Aliens, they probably caused everyone to die!

What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

i would be positively elated for quite some time. eventually i might miss the noise and thoughtlessness of human society. maybe.

but i would definately move into a university engineering library. set up my bed right there in the corner somewhere. rig up a good solar and wind power system. probably from the parts i might find in the engineering department labs, if not, i do know where i could find what i'd need.

preferably this would be at a college or university in an otherwise relatively rural setting. oh, and i would definately feed cats. and whatever other small furry creatures came by and didn't bother or get eaten by them.

i'd even build my little solar battery hernia gauge trains and spent the rest of my life laying track for them and riding arround on them. and of course doing a bit of gardning on what had previously been the university campus.

there are other things i would do eventually, about contacting the folks back at my REAL home (that small green planet i've occassionally mentioned in passing), but all that's a bit too classified to go into here.

=^^=
.../\...

suppose it would be wise to think of the animals. as long as you don't get any ideas to try and repopulate with them.

I can't help but think that releasing the great cats and bears and what not might be a tricky proposition...

hmmm....? well ide play all the video games i could clone myself over the years of playing the games and probly make a female once i was done with all the video games and repopulate the world and make myself king:p

well you know, the first thing you need to realize, and if you didn't already, is that sooner or later the power is going to go off, if it hasn't already, unless you do something about that, which isn't likely unless you know how. you might not really notice or think about that itself to begin with, because all the stuff in the stores is still fresh, or at least edible, for the first few days.

but the fresh meat and produce will start rotting pretty quick, even before the power goes off. and then the frozen stuff when it does. not just in the retail grocery stores of course, but also in the refrigerated warehouses the're suplied from. you might live on junk food for the rest of the first year, and canned goods and other non-rotting edibles for years two and three, but by the end of the third year you'd better have your own self sustaining way of producing your own sustianence or you're gonna be in a big hungry hurt.

so that's what all that gardining is about. well some of it anyway. some might be just for pretty and for the hell of it. but establishing enough and diverse enough of a veggie patch to keep me going is a big part of what i'd be spending those first three years doing. in addition, that is, to studying up on all the crap that might be fun or useful to know that i hadn't yet previously had the chance to get arround to.

and yes, i expect some of the returning wildlife to eat a percentage of that garden. i might eat a percentage of them too. but that last all depends on a lot of unforseen things. butchering a large animal IS A LOT OF WORK. hunting and gathering societies did a lot more of their surviving by gathering then by hunting, however much the hunters got all the glory, it was the acorn and corn grinders and rice millers and so on, who kept everyone from starving, and that took up a whole lot of time, and if you don't know where to start with that actually yourself, knowing that they did isn't going to do you that much good either. so if you want to stay alive by yourself for longer then it takes the cans in the food warehouses to start rusting, it would be a real good idea to get yourself some kind of agriculture going.

i would of course do a mix of both growing and gathering, and yes, because i'm just as lazy as anyone else, getting by for as long as i could on the stuff in the stores. but realizing it wouldn't be there for ever and getting started pretty much right away doing something about that.

oh and i do a few other odd and interesting things i didn't mention yet. happining as i do, to know from personal experience how things like railroads work. of course you wouldn't need a driver's licence to opperate anything that still had fuel in it or you could and knew how to get fuel into it either.

so transporting things, the stuff you'd need to put togather where and how you'd want to live, with only yourself to consume existing fuel reserves, wouldn't be too much of a problem. you might need to find and know how to use hand opperated fuel transfer pumps for when the power has gone off if it hasn't already too.

the little wind/solar rig on the uni-library roof i set up would be fine for running a nice engineering workstation computer setup, and maybe a small refrigerator, and even a machine tool or two, but not for powering up all the fuel pumps in even the local area.

having to do EVERYTHING yourself wouldn't be that much of a problem IF you already knew how to do all or most of what you'd need to in order to do most or even some of what you'd otherwise wish to. but if you don't, there's no time like the present to start learning. even if, none of us are all that likely to find ourselves in the situation of being the ONLY "last person on the planet".

but you also have to realize one person can only do so much, so you'd also want to figgure out how to set things up to mostly take care themselves, because there really is more involved the there are hours in a day for one person to be all the time looking after everything.

so you really need to think about setting up a small little sustainable corner that will do all or as much as possible of what you want to have to be able to do and do with.

which is why i picked and mentioned the things that i did and do.

=^^=
.../\...

first i would go looting, then i'd go to a library to find some books on cloning and then i'd find te nearest cloning lab and start cloning all the dead people i can find.

I would spend all my time searching for someone else because if I survived I would assume someone else did too (even if I was the last person.)

<3
Sounds like what I would do too.

Also, props to Cameroi. This is rather true as well. I'd have to figure out how to supply myself with food, water, and shelter while I attempted to search for anyone else. Shelter probably wouldn't be too hard, so long as I was still in a suburban or urban area. ^_^

Go slowly insane explaining the difference between your and you're to the imaginary people.

I'd be off to the nearest airport and attempting to fly a jumbo jet, I'd either be hopping from country to country, with some wonderful sights along the way or I'd die in the attempt - either is acceptable.

...and airline food never erodes so I'd always be fed, and drunk come to think of it.

...and the better airlines have movies and games too.

post in the "the last guy who posts in this thread wins"-thread and also make a wikipedia entry on myself.

What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

Take my copy of "I am legend" and go vampire-hunting.;)

you're the last person on earth...

interesting

first of all I'd do whatever possible to keep the electricity turned on... cuz let's face it, we'd be lost without it.

gather food, gather refrigerators/freezers, gather beer/alcohol/Coke/frozen juices...

TVs, DVD players and DVDs, iPod, other audio equipment, etc.

certain narcotics perhaps -- things could become fairly boring/depressing, and some of these might help ease the pain

i don't know how i'd approach the friends/female problem. perhaps i'd stockpile some good porn. hehe

What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

I wouldn't be too happy with that. I'd log off NS, go to a porn site, and spend the rest of my days jacking off.

What? It's cleaner and has a couch (Or so I've been told)

The only women's restrooms I've seen with couches were at a few malls or department stores.

But the men's bathroom at one place around here has a TV in it.

As for what I would do...I'd probably be fine as long as I still had my cats. I'd plays Sims 2 and Civ 4 and Pokemon Pearl. But I'd miss everyone a lot. :(

First priority is to secure generators and fuel. Perhaps move to a gasoline storage area. Second secure refrigeration, freezer and refrigeration. May use refer trailers for this. Though I may need several, guess that wouldn't be a problem. Gotta think ahead, if you're going to live for decades you need to think about food.


Then I have to educate myself on rudimentary medicine. Long term health care afterall. Might prioritize astronomy and radio communications next. The question becomes should I try to contact alien life, which is a distant possibility, or should I try to clone people and restart humanity. Cloning is messy and inexact, but hell it's not like I'd lack time.

I wouldn't have electricity, running water, lack of supplies..

I'd die within a month.




So why wait?

Suicide to the rescue!

How long would the electricity last? That is the big question, without maintenance... bah. Find out what has certain needed vitamins as all the fruits/vegtables/dairy will all spoil very soon and will need to, you know, survive.
Oh and plumbing. I wonder how long it will take to screw up... basically I'd be constantly worrying.

Loot the pharmacy for pills :D

This would be just the time to get a RealDoll.

Be depressed

Party

be depressed

Party

Repeat until death

Technically, if you were the last person on earth, nobody would be able to man the nuclear power stations that have been abandoned due to nobody there. There would probably be a series of meltdowns and you would die anyway :p

Removal all my clothing, run around naked, then do something really dirty to me self.

And post it on Youtube where it would not get deleted by mods? :D

Quoted to prevent Deletion! :p

Hooray!

Also, to all of the above posts which require the procurement of sustenance and the continuation of the workings of human society, may I offer a humble suggestion?

The living dead! No need for food, air, or anything.

That is all.

That is all.Err... you do know what the Head of Vecna does... right?
psst... I suggest looking up that artifact!
but then again, all those living dead are nothing but stiffs and deadbeats. :p

I'd drive up to the airport, take a plane (they can't be that hard to fly, right? Tell it where you want to go and the computer takes over? I hope so) and fly to Washington DC.

Then I'd go sit at the desk in the Oval Office and play President for a while. Maybe go down to the Situation Room and play with the computers and stuff.

Then I'd probably be bored, and test out a few nukes. Probably directed at countries I didn't like.

Then I'd fly to Italy (provided I worked out how to fly a plane when crossing to DC), steal a Pagani Zonda, and have fun in the Alps.

I'd probably go to the nearest Best Buy, and get all the game systems.. an HD/TV for the heck of it. All the games, a dvd player.. A computer.. A CAR! And then try to find bodies of humans to test expirements on, such as.. Re-animation, zombie-fication. With multiple other sorts. Then i'll commit suicide by jumping off the Empire State Building.

I would create a school for monkeys, horses, dogs and dolphins, and try to teach them everything I could. Then I would die laughing imagining what species would conquer the world after I was dead.

Oh the madness!

What about my last person on Earth? :confused:

...sorry, I'm a sucker for lame puns :p So probably just wander the Earth coming up with puns for every situation.

Err... you do know what the Head of Vecna does... right?
psst... I suggest looking up that artifact!

Well, naturally I know what it does. Best hoax evah.

I would just use the Head to entice any enemies I encounter to an early demise. FOOLS!

I'd probably kill myself.

It's either that or go crazy... likely both.

What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

Kill myself.

The living dead! No need for food, air, or anything.

No, robots. No need for food, air, or anything but a steady source of good old electric current. Plus, deadly weapons and advanced technological progress thanks to their intelligence. Did I mention they're made of metal and can be used as on-the-spot scientific calculator/data storage/electric generator?

But the living dead are good too...maybe, if we grafted machines on to the living dead.... NO. That is madness, that is blasphemy,,,

Come to think of it, if the last person on Earth was female (like myself), and she finds a male body soon enough after his death, she might be able to still impregnate herself with it. Yeah, necrophillic, but... beginning of repopulation, at any rate!

Do any of you remember the episode of the Twilight Zone about the last man on Earth? He was delighted, he had access to every book he wanted to read, then he broke his glasses (which were about 1/2" thick) so he couldn't read.

Borders and Barnes and Noble are within walking distance of me, as are several grocery stores and sporting goods stores. I would have books to read (including how-to books), enough food in the stores to hold me until I figured out how to produce my own, and fishing gear and guns for fishing and hunting - and, at last, privacy.

I'd probably miss Smunkee and Ruffy, though.

make all these great plans about what i'm going to do, what equipment i'll need, etc.... land up getting a paper cuts, or some equaly minor injury and die due to the lack medical knowledge.

FOR THE RECORD: Everyone here knows about the "Omega Man", It has been stated many times already on this thread alone.

EDIT: Why has there yet to be a mega man parody of this; "finally I'm the last robot alive, but I can't take off my buster.
NOOO!!!"

Break into the CIA hq and find out all the big secrets...

Live with the wolves. *nod*

I think the answer is obvious; grab some vodka, head to the nearest church, and dance naked to macho man in the front pue :D

just checking... ;)

I would spend the end of my days on this forum, creating hundreds of puppet nations to mimic real people talking to me.

The episode in question is "Time Enough at Last" with Burgess Meredith. A classic!

Perhaps I'd spend time in Air Force flight simulators and learn to travel by means of a jet fighter. Maybe once in Europe I'd experience the Autobahn with every exotic Italian car I could get my hands on.

I'd launch a nuclear weapon just to see it detonate.

I'd set every radio transmitter on the planet to broadcast a message to any alien worlds that receive it : Free planet! First Come, first serve! I figure by the time anyone responded, I'd be long dead anyway.

I'd go to all the places I'm not allowed to go now. Especially the secret military ones. I want to see what my tax money has been doing.

I'd go to the Phelps compound and set the DVD players and VCRs to play continuous gay porn until the power eventually ran out.

I'd spray paint my initials into every place I went along my travels.

I'd go find the biggest aircraft carrier in the world and spray paint "Property of:" and my name across the flight deck.

If there are female replica pleasure robots in the world, I would find them.
If not.... I dunno what I'd do but I'm sure it would be sick.

Depending on the level of automation and how much we're prepared to suspend disbelief, I'd go to Cape Canaveral and see if the Shuttle was in launch readiness. If so, I'd go up into space and die there.

I would leave the toilet seat up.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find my first post and then edit it to include a gun smilie.

You can do this already. Look, it's been proven by science (http://www.scq.ubc.ca/the-social-norm-of-leaving-the-toilet-seat-down-a-game-theoretic-analysis/).

Great Scott!

I'd get the nearest power generator, and go down to the mall, where I would promptly set up my house. I wouldn't even need much power during the day, because it'd shine in through the skylights.

Then I could use the food court for cooking, and the rest of it for driving cars and motorcycles around.

Locate the nearest source of food, and the nearest source of porn.

Madness?


THIS IS THE LAST MAN IN SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA!

I don't know, probably find out how to genetically engineer some people to hang out with.

Well... I'm all for mad blasphemy. Also, this is Sparta.

What would you do? The world is not destroyed, the only difference is that you are the only human being left.

Celebrate my success.
