>How long would you have power?

power grids probably wont stay up without maintenence. all it would take is one small problem for the entire system to fail might want to get far away, upwind and upstream from any nuke plants, and upstream from any dams

>How long can you store gas/diesel before it becomes totally unusable?

a year or 2 if you use stabilizer, little bit longer if you know how to boost octane.

you go to your local garden store and find non GMO or heirloom seeds.

it wouldnt be a problem for anyone unless they are a complete and utter fucking retard

>>887421
>How long before you kill yourself?
why would I kill myself? sounds like my fondest dream.

also being the last human on earth is like being a lone kid in a candy store. you would have to actively fuck up to die in such a situation (basically unlimited canned food, gear, weapons, shelter etc pp)

>>887451

This, being the last one alive actually makes shit a lot easier because you don't have to compete for resources.

More importantly, how long to sail to Japan, find and activate most advanced sex robot waifu?

>>887596
The ultimate survival tool
>japanese sex robot

I'd gather up gear such as weapons, ammo, non-perishable foods, etc.

I'd probably travel the country for a year or so. There won't be any power without maintenance so I'd be stuck finding off the grid homes with solar power and stuff.

I doubt I'd ever need to grow anything. I'd just travel and scavenge. People don't realize how much shitty food we have that doesn't expire for decades. It'd probably be 10-20 years before I had to think about that. I'd probably bunker down on some island in a lake or something. Travel out to scavenge and hunt. That's about it.

There would be nothing difficult about surviving alone. It's when you have other humans doing the same thing, it becomes dangerous.

>>887602
>no other humans

kek /k/ fags never desilude. Better have dem protection amrite?

>but muh wild animals
sure mate, whatever floats your boat.

as the only human on earth? pretty much the rest of my life. if all supermarkets were still stocked, you could survive off canned goods and other nonperishables for years. biggest concern would probably be dying of some silly bullshit infection or the return of apex predators. even then just carry a gun and know how to find antibiotics.
probably wouldn't even have to leave the state until i died, but it'd be pretty fun to travel

>>887473
>3-4 months
>swole as fuck
t. nolifts

>>887611
it's a valid concern though. without the hustle and bustle of metropolitan areas, animals would quickly recolonize those areas. This includes predators who may or may not decide to fuck with you.
guns aren't only for protection either. if the last human on earth wants a steak, they're probably not going to fuck around with a bow and arrow unless they're bored

>>887570
>>887592
So, I guess all are perfectly safe without any maintenance at all?

>>887636

this isn't ukraine in 1986

modern (read: western) nuclear power plants have automated failsafes that will shut themseles down automatically if it detects abnormalities.

chernobyl was caused by manually disengaging safety systems and performing tests despite warnings (look up all the retarded stuff they did) and fukushima was caused by a fucking earth quake + tsunami.

as long as neither of the latter happens before the reactor goes into standby you're golden for at least 20-30 years before the actual physical structure of the reactor itself begins to decay. even then it won't be much of a radiation "bang", just a sizzle.

>>887626

5 years tops, altho i could stockpile up on a lot of things if i had some brain like water in pe containers and canned food. probably my biggest problem after a while would be feral animals that retake the cities.

>>887631

>>887421
I'm an urban UKfag.

>power
Not long. Not long at all.
>food
Guess I'm eating canned food and drinking rainwater til I die. And drinking every bottle of wine I find for the first 5 or so years, and every bottle of spirits after that. In fact this doesn't sound so bad.

After chilling in the city for a bit and stocking up on supplies i guess I'd try to find a small farm with a river (and ideally a well). Horses for transportation, attempt to get a hydroelectric turbine going. Farming by day, occasionally ride my horse and cart into a city to pick up canned and dried food. A lot of farms would have shotguns so Id have basic self defence, although the UK has no big predators left.

Suicide: I would probably consider it eventually. To stave it off Id pick up a hobby, maybe urban exploration. Try to find the secret illuminati tunnel network under London, draw accurate skyline sketches from the top of skyscrapers, that kind of thing. Oh, and loot suburban houses for increasingly rare physical paper porn magazines.

>>887686
i see you've handily ignored the necessity of having a weapon to hunt
even if gas was still good, using a car as your primary mode of protection is 10/10 retarded. After 2 years is coincidentally when all the animals will be coming back

>>887722
Even diesel goes bad eventually - bacteria and shit starts to grow in it.

I figure you've got maybe two years to do any actual, long-distance traveling. After that, you're stuck with however far a bicycle or your legs can carry you in a day.

Going the hunter-gatherer route after you've lost the use of modern transport just seems like a good way to die of exposure.

>>887668
Coast Guard won't even send you to basic if you aren't already capable of passing fitness exams.

>>887757
Neither will any branch but that fitness test is basic shit. They then spend the next month or so getting you properly fit.

>>887611
Guns are fun. Protection and survival aside, that would be awesome to go shoot all your dream guns at whatever you want.

15 years or so is my maximum lifespan regardless of what I build or grow because it's when my pacemaker battery dies.

Between canned goods and shit a person would be hard pressed to starve to death. I think the big thing I'd do is spend the first few years traveling and taking photos of various aspects of society, developing the photos and stashing them along with documentation of what things were. Just in case Earth is ever found in the future it'd make it easier for whomever to figure out who we were.

>>887450

My roof is covered in solar panels. Those take about 20 years to wear down to 50% of the original output and 35 years to die completely.

I don't have a power wall but if I did, that would be good for at least a decade. They take 5 years to run down to 80% capacity and 10 to die completely.

So basically I have every modern convenience for 10 years, and then only during the day for another 15. After that I guess I'd go looking for new solar panels in the warehouse. Solar City HQ is like 20 miles from me.

Question related to this:

What would happen to all those natural gas lines that run into people's houses in this circumstance?

>>888056
>Being jealous of granolas who pay three times more for power and won't be able to sell their house without taking another $20,000 hit

fyi

gasoline cars can be converted to run on wood, propane or natural gas with a little bit of work
older diesel engines will run on straight vegetable oil, creating biodiesel through fermentation isn't necessary
horses, cows and donkeys can be convinced to pull things due to their domesticated nature
sailboats are currently a decent way to get around even when compared with engine boats. when fuel and maintenance becomes an issue, sailing is pretty much the way to cross the oceans.

deer populations would sharply rise, and so would cougar, wolf and feral dog populations. A handgun in a holster would be important because predators will typically attack humans when they are doing something with their hands and not able to hold a rifle.

I'd probably head to the nearest internet exchange, break into it and scrape the entire internet before it goes down. with the entirety of a major internet exchange I'm pretty certain I'd be able to get enough content that I'd never run out. it would be nice to read if I start to miss living in society.

do embryos count as living humans? how about sperm?

>>888148
I sell my power back into the grid with some silly government scheme that was probably invented to defraud the taxpayer. Where I live, solar is like 10% more expensive than hydro.

Why can't I sell my house without paying 20,000? You're not even making any sense. Why would it cost 20,000 more to sell a house with panels on it?

That's pretty much how I would do it. Non-ethanol gasoline should last awhile, and ethanol gas with some treatment will last years. I would just fire up the generator and run it indefinitely. And besides gas stations, there are tons of places that keep large tanks of diesel and gasoline that isn't buried in the ground too.

I would def raid a few pharmacies to start out. Then one of the 3 Ferrari dealers within a 30min drive. Drive muh Ferrari around, try and figure out a way to get a few generators and freezers running, and freeze a shit ton of food. Store a bunch of flour and raw stuff somewhere it won't go bad so I could bake bread occaisionally and then live off canned food when I run out of frozen stuff. Even fucking Walmart has Mountain House. I probably would never really leave my immediate area because there is so much to scavenge that I would never run out of food or supplies as long as I'm able to protect a lot of it for a decade or two.

>>888171
Gasoline will last maybe five years with treatment. It'll turn to sludge eventually.

I'm not sure how you'd get the gas station pumps running if they power's all cut out, and siphoning won't last you forever.

>>888193
That's why I mentioned the storage tanks at other places. Lots of public works places and companies with large fleets have big storage tanks above ground full of diesel or gasoline. Plus being South Florida, lots of grocery stores and hotels have generators for hurricanes and they will have huge diesel tanks. If anything I could just run a house from one of those portable gas or diesel powered pumps down into a gas station's tanks. Or just hijack a full fuel truck and park that trailer outside whatever house or building I'm staying at.

I mean I think I would be lucky to make it 10 years before a freak accident takes me out, probably less if I'm raiding all of the pharmacies so not like I'm expecting gasoline to last 50 years.

Will Google and Wikipedia still work? It could be like when I wake up at 4:30am and reply to a couple threads on /out/ and take over the whole first page, but permanently!

>>888198
Backbones might stay up for a while, but all the individual servers that make the internet the internet would eventually shut down due to no power.

>>888159
>straight vegetable oil

Wonder how long it would take for the shit on store shelves to go rancid.

>>888203
Yeah I would get bored. Sucks there are no more Blockbusters to raid for entertainment. I will just have to survive with whatever is in the Redbox.

>>887560
You know it would take a serious malfunction (near impossible for modern ones) to actually cause a nuclear explosion, what would actually happen is it would deplete the uranium or whatever other radioactive metal it uses and it would just die out and become and stay inactive until the end of times.

>>887612
Even apex predators you could scare off most likely.

>>887636
Yes, yes they are.

>>888111
Same thing as with nuclear plants, not a whole lot, they'd just die off and be useless pipes.

>>887722
i don't see the need to stock up on guns immediately. for later hunting when long shelf life food goes bad sure, i would want a gun. for protection there is no need. no humans around anymore.

>>887755
maybe train some horses i would make getting livestock secured a priority i guess.

I think there would be several years worth of canned and freeze dried food you could loot, and remember the expiration date is just bullshit, they last longer than that
you could probably take a decade or two to prep before you need to grow anything for survival, if you travel around and just loot everything
you're the only person eating this stuff after all

Packs of feral dogs would likely be your biggest problem if you get caught in the open.

I really should put The Onion one in the bathroom. I haven't read a book in years but had to go buy the FSM book after hearing about it and I couldn't pass up the Bob Odenkirk book. That's the only one I actually made it mostly through and it's a funny book. Idk why but growing up near Chicago makes you really like the humor of all those Second City type dudes. I also have fond memories of The Onion because as a kid homeless dudes would try and sell them to you even though they were free in newspaper boxes all over the city.

>>889856
idunno if he could handle all the post-apocalyptic poundings though. could get nuts.

>>889867
Are you assuming you still have power? Those skyscrapers would suck withour power. No elevators so have fun on the stairs and then those glass boxes would be hot as balls without AC. Running water would probably be an issue too because it takes a lot of pressure to get water up that high.

>>889873
shhhhhhhhhhhh, dont fuck up my fantasy

>>889867
Have you ever been away from your PC battle station for more than a day or so? Get fucking real kid.

Would it be that hard to go to an oil refinery and make more gas? Or a coal mine/wind farm/solar place to get more electricity?

>>889926
That sounds like it would be a bitch. Oil refineries are giant complicated stills with a good chance of assploding. If you could scavenge a shit ton of solar panels or nigger rig your own wind farm, that would be the way to go for electricity. Generators are basically electric motors in reverse so with a little knowledge you could def power some simple stuff.

Seriously though if you were in it for the long term, you could probably just find some of those big diesel generators that you tow behind a pickup truck and then run shit off of that. Alcohol is easy as hell to make too as long as you can grow anything with sugar so you could attempt to run anything on that instead of gasoline and see how long it lasts. You should be able to get some crops growing in the years it takes for fuel in storage to become unusable.

>>889926
>>889965
And there's also biodiesel. I'm pretty sure most diesel stuff will run readily on biodiesel without any real conversions so if you can get crops going for oil that will be a really easy route.

It wouldn't take more than a day or two for the fail-safes to shut the plant down with no-one around. There are routine procedures that have to be carried out just to "prove" that there's an attentive human hand at the controls. The main issue would be damage to the power grid.

>>887421
I'd be fine survival-wise, but I think that scenario would be uniquely unnerving. Places which should be populated take on an ominous quality when they're deserted for no apparent reason.

Do I know for sure that I'm the last human in this scenario? Because unless I know I'm alone I'd have to be as cautious as if there were other people all over. That would make scavenging a much more time consuming process and security would be more of a factor in any potential homestead.

First thing I'd probably look for some quality medical supplies and a horse, beyond that I can't say for sure but I live in eastern Canada so I'd probably move south. Prepping for and living through a Canadian winter solo would be rough.

I'd never kill myself with the whole world open to me, but I would probably go completely mad which would be a non-issue with no other people around

>>887421
I don't think I would have to do too much planting. There are enough gardens around my city that I could survive from collecting fruit and vegetables that I come across. If I supplement myself with hunting I think I could do alright.

I'd just grow large amounts of Protea Repens along with fruits such as ugni, babaco, kukumkranka; nuts like coquito and eat bee larvae/honey and drink goats milk while milling about to find flour for injera or just make it from Ensete.

Idk winter doesn't really exist where I live in the sense that we grow food in winter.

I guess focus on my weaving and plaiting to make feather capes and learn to carve ivory and like jade or learn silver smithery.

They're safe because people are constantly maintaining them. In North America a lot of dams are 80+ years old and still require manual operation. Even most big dams need still people to operate the gantry crane and open the gates. All it would take is one big one to fail and the rest would be destroyed domino effect style without people to prepare for the surge of flood water.

When a several million HP turbine fails it usually causes catastrophic damage. They'd likely shut themselves down in an emergency though.
