discussion You wake up and suddenly everyone on Earth disappears. You’re alone. What’s your first move?

[bullshtm]

Wake up, jerk off, drink a coffee and go to a long nap.

Probably Travel around. if its just me i imagine that food wont be an issue although i would miss fresh food eventually and electricity when it breaks down over time. and try to be careful cuz with out doctors an injury could be life threatening. i feel it would be like "I am legend" a little bit with out the freaky dudes. now i think about it id probably just get a nice motor bike and set up in sweet mansions get a boat and travel around the world

 

[toninio]

Depends on your knowledge no? I would not just assume that the ENTIRE world is empty. I would assume I would not be the only one left; so.. my first steps would be securing some basic (long lasting) energy source (food/drink), and then trying to figure out best way to find/contact others.
Obviously, if after a month, maybe 3 of trying, there's not a single reaction, single life in sight.. might as well end it quickly and painlessly.

Probably same here but my very first move should be try to reach my relatives then cry...

 

[FiddleFaun]

Find a nice place to start an herb garden. Learn how to fertilize a frozen egg and use one of those silicon artificial wombs then make sure the baby is born properly after being a science savy about it.

Problem solved! Not alone anymore. Or maybe, get a dog. There's also the urge to travel since Yachts are just there up for grabs.

Step Zero: Breathe. Allow panic to pass. Sit down.
Step One: Assess. Local travel, use phone to browse the internet for news/forum interactions/article comments/general signs of life. Gauge extent of the situation.
Step Two: After determining realistic possibility I'm all that's left, repeat step Zero, then secure supplies. Food, bottled water, antibiotics, batteries. Check if my ID still gets me into work. See if gas pumps still work. Does online banking still function, at least for now, to be able to operate automated things (like gas pumps).
Step Three: Secure skills knowledge. Find resources, online or in print, to give me a few different approaches to shit I'm gonna need to be able to do if I decide to keep going. Basic agriculture. Principles of electrical engineering and insulation.
Step Four: Secure equipment needed to opt out peacefully should this become necessary. Repeat step zero.
Step Five: Reassess.

Should be plenty to keep busy for the first bit.

 

[A_Man_In_Space]

My first move would be to look for people.

 

[drilling]

if I somehow know everyone has disappeared prolly just kms

 

[Elem90]

Haha sounds good

 

[IxChewx]

I wouldn't know for certain that I was the last human on earth, so I'd gather resources, ransack the police station, hit the library for survival books or some shit useful, mod a bus as a mobile base, and travel around looking for people.

 

[Woohooislander]

I think my first priority would be securing as much supplies as I could. After that I'd find books for teaching things like farming and construction. I'm assuming things will degrade eventually so power and running water will eventually go off. Or maybe theyll outlast me. But either way I would prefer to be prepared.

 

[bebop810]

honestly would probably detonate a nuke for the lols if i can then end it.

 

[Msm]

I'd start looting my little heart out to secure the essentials; food, water, shelter, safety etc and undertake longer expeditions when the weather is lenient

 

[edgat]

My first move would be loot for supplies while searching for another people.

 

[adsgsf]

probably first see if there is somebody else, and try to see where i can use Internet.
If im theo nly person in the world,i think the first days i do whatever i want but with the time i will want to end my life because the lack of huma interaction with other people

 

[EggHeadedMan]

Id probably procure a generator and as many fuel stabilizers as possible so that the fuel doesnt go stale. Then work on moving someplace that isnt super cold or super hot and can grow food. id then spend my time before most infrastructure collapses to learn as much as possible to survive. Get a nice base set up and defendable so that if im not actually the last they cant find me or take my things. the first steps are all about getting the basic things set up so i can have food, drinking water, and electricity as needed.

 

[GettinOlder]

I'm going fishing. Just sayin.

 

[pikxmon12]

First, I'll try to understand if I'm truly alone, see if there's really no one around. I'll try to use television, phones, and the internet. If there's no signal, I'll look for somewhere that might have one. From there, if I see that there really is no one in my region, I'll keep searching, even crossing to another continent if necessary. But if I'm truly unable to find anyone, I'll become depressed. My friends, family, and girlfriend are gone; there's no one left. Ending my life would be the only real option.

 

[Daddy9Inches]

Using the lady restroom. They are always so clean

 

[pur]

day 1: do anything that ive never dare to do
day 2-inf: suffer from being alone

 

[fuzzi_weezil]

Use the remaining life of the internet and cell network to try and find others.

If I'm truly alone, get an EV truck (Rivian, Cybertruck, etc). Find a house on the outskirts of town that's on a well and septic system; city water and sewage will fail quickly. Start stealing solar panels, inverters, and Tesla power walls and set up a solar system.

Raid pharmacies for painkillers and antibiotics and nurseries/home improvement centers for seed packets and fruit trees and start farming.

At that point you have food, water, biowaste disposal, shelter with power, and any future needs can be dealt with as they come up.
