What Post-Apocalyptic world are you best suited for?

[Liberal Veteran]

[Rowdyboy]

1. At least there was a glimmer of hope in King's dystopia....

Not so much in the others iirc.

[Liberal Veteran]

2. No doubt. I found some things a bit hard to swallow at the end.

Stu and Fran and kids going back to Maine seemed foolish to me.

Moving 2000 miles from the nearest person with medical training just struck me as a ridiculous thing to do.

[Iggo]

7. My atheism puts me on the wrong side in that story. (n/t)

[ohiosmith]

3. 2012. I already have my ticket for a veranda suite.

:hi:

[LynneSin]

4. Hope you have enough room - the rest of DU will be bunking with you

:woohoo:

[ohiosmith]

5. No problem. Just stay out of the mini-bar.

:P

[LynneSin]

11. um, well um........

I left a half finished bottle of Creme De Menthe in there for ya!

[ohiosmith]

14. Was that you? Thanks! I used it to degrease my carburetor. Worked great!

:hi:

[LynneSin]

6. I survived after 8 years of Reagan - I can handle any post-apocalypic world you toss at me

just saying

[baldguy]

27. 8 yrs of Reagan & 8 yrs of the dumber Bush child.

This is as post-apocalyptic as you can get.

[raccoon]

8. Earth Abides. nt

[RZM]

20. LOL

That's the first reference to that book I've ever seen outside of my HS class where we read it.

[raccoon]

23. Tells you I'm not Gen X, doesn't it? nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. None? I'm old and fat and unhealthy. If I didn't perish in the first wave, I am sure

I wouldn't last long after that.

10. I am Legend

if a guy and his dog can stay hidden from the mutants for at least a couple years in the middle of NYC, it seems like you could live a fairly peaceful life out in the country where there won't be NEARLY as many mutants running around at night. You have the entire day to yourself as the mutants can't be in sunlight. You just need a fortified shelter to sleep in at night and a way to hide your scent. That can be solved apparently by stockpiling bleach. As long as you can't be found at night, you're pretty safe.

12. Other: TANK GIRL!

[Lucinda]

13. I'll go with 2012

The 10% of the 1% probably stocked those arks pretty well.

[dawg]

15. Doesn't matter to me. I'm so depressed.

M-O-O-N.

That spells depressed. :P

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

16. What? No Blade Runner?

I'd be flying the blimp!

[pokerfan]

30. Was Blade Runner post-apocalyptic?

:shrug:

[Orrex]

33. The source material was

Lead codpieces were all the rage, to protect one's nads from radioactive fallout subsequent to nuclear war against Red China.

[dimbear]

17. Planet of the Apes.

Nova? Where are you now?

[Brother Buzz]

18. I'm an 'Earth Abides' kind of guy

Read the book decades ago, in my youth. It's my benchmark for all things Post-Apocalyptic.

[ellisonz]

19. I AM LEGEND!

[MilesColtrane]

21. The Day After Tomorrow

I will be ready when global cooling hits.

Plenty of subcutaneous insulation...

[Supply Side Jesus]

22. The Night of the Comet

loved that movie!

[Iggo]

25. We do NOT cross against the light!!!

:rofl:

[Blue_Tires]

24. Futurama

[hifiguy]

26. That would certainly be the most fun.

And, according to the series, there were several apocalypses between now and the 31st century, including alien invasions, rule by giant carrots, grave-robbing space mushrooms and the second coming of Jesus. And even then they have to deal with that grumpy Omicronian Lrrr and the flying brains. But on the whole things seemed to turn out OK. ;)

[Deep13]

28. Me too. nt

[Angry Dragon]

29. I am ready for anything

[pokerfan]

31. it depends...

32. Whatever one has an epidemic kill off most of humankind.

Until there are only a sustainable amount of us left on this planet, as opposed to 7 billion. Of course, this virus won't touch any other species on earth, just leave it in balance again.

And BTW, for the earlier poster, I'm an agnostic as well. This is what I see as Mother Earth's healing process if we biped primates don't get it together.
