Faz (02/20/2013) [-] I see a lot of people in the comments saying how they would love the zombie apocalypse and i just need to tell you how stupid you all are and if you can't answer yes to ALL of these questions then you're fucked if it ever came Z-day.
1. Do you have survival experience including killing/cooking wild animals?
2. Are you physically strong
3. Are you able to run 1 mile without stopping
4. Do you have weapon training
5. Do you live in a place with not many people/surrounded by places with not many people
6. Can you drive
Now these are just some basic things, there are actually many more things which would be key to survival but if you are not able to say yes to all 6 of these then i give you about 1day to 2 months (2 months being if you only said no to number 1 since a 2 months supply of food shouldn't be that hard to get hold of)

infinitereaper (02/20/2013) [-] None of that matters. Zombies could take a hundred different forms and have to handled accordingly.
Z-Day is a book. Man it's really popular. Especially with the movie coming. Zombieland is my favorite zombie related thing though. I won't watch Z-Day.

kotushk (02/20/2013) [-] Some people have their houses already prepared. There are nuts out there with a cellar full of food and gasoline for a gennie. And a booby trapped house to nullify their physical weaknesses. Who needs to run when you can wait it out? Or drive?
Oh, but the waiting it out might be the problem, right? Not really. Extreme heat would cause bacteria to fester and rot the dead flesh faster. Extreme cold would freeze them into immobility. Natural scavengers would rip them apart. Bugs, enough said. Pretty damn slow, easy to get away if you aren't an idiot without an escape plan. A good whack to the head with a sturdy weapon would do the trick, just make sure you know when to whack, and when to run.
Also, about the physically strong... Why would we need it? We are humans, the geeks in the natural world. We don't have any physical traits that are unique, and miss many helpful animal traits, like tails, wings, fins, gills, claws, and destructive teeth. We are on top though. Why? Invention. Necessity drives invention. If zombies start walking the streets, our newfound necessity would be making some damned decent weapons real quick.
TL;DR: A zombie apocalypse will fail. And humans don't even need all of the above resources, just their brain.

soapybox (02/20/2013) [-] Some counter argument because why not.
You forget, humans are not the only ones that may become infected. I remember being sick with a flu and watching all these documentaries on what "could" happen. Most people don't even think about scavengers like you said, fly lands on infected corpse, feasts, fly lands on private farm, water reservoir, or other means of food and boom. It doesn't take much to spread.
Sure weather might slow them down, but you can't just go depending on the weather to weaken the horde.
Regarding the human brain, that's true. We humans are naturally inferior to almost all common animals on the top section of the food chain. Without our natural ability to create coherent thought instead of natural instinct ruling our thoughts, we're weak creatures.
We see a zombie ridden street, we of course don't run down it, we create a defense for ourselves like maybe armor, you won't be going a killing spree I'm sure with your so called DIY weapons.
tl:dr We won't be trying to rid the earth of zombies, most of us will just end up trying to survive and wait it out going from location to location trying to survive, not going on killing sprees (maybe not all of us) but without a widespread way of a cure, we're fucked up until we run out of supplies.

Faz (02/20/2013) [-] People who are prepared for the zombie apocalypse aren't the people here on FJ, nobody here is sat with a stock pile of food under their house and fortifications. As for physically strong of course you would need it, try destroying a zombie head when you are weak because newsflash zombies skulls aren't going to be weak after only a couple months (or again, mostly weeks since the lack of survival from most people) and finally all you need is your brain huh? Well then you aren't too familiar with the whole zombie genre are you because zombies are purposely these idiotic creatures who we are obviously far superior to in intellect but the reason zombies overrun the world is because of sheer numbers and if it was like walking dead style where any sort of death equals becoming a zombie then zombies would be everywhere.

kotushk (02/20/2013) [-] Who needs to crack a skull when your brain can help you build traps, both non lethal and lethal. Depends on your intent with the zombies. As for the overrunning, look how often they fuck up and don't shoot the head in the army or police forces. Or how often someone refused to kill their bitten family and friends? Another thing to the intellect is the limitation we place upon it. Nature limits our physical abilities with pain, we limit our greatest strength with "morals" and "emotions". Which are both fucking useless. Kill anything undead. And undead includes those who are bitten. Crack the skulls of the dead in any world where zombification is brought on simply through death. Cremate the bodies if their head isn't their weakness. And if your family or friends are bitten... FUCKING KILL THEM! Emotions will only end with your death.

Faz (02/20/2013) [-] You say all this but be honest with me since if you lie really you are only lying to yourself since im just another faceless internet user.
Do you have experience building traps, traps which would catch something as strong as a full grown man (because i doubt highly you do) and btw you aren't going to be in many situations in which you can make a trap to kill one zombie, Oh look over there, 20 zombies coming right at us.....i will make a trap!, thats just not going to happen. Also how old are you, you are saying to let go of all emotions and kill those bitten instantly but who says you are the one to make those decisions? If you are in a group and someones family member is bitten what are you going to do? Walk up to them and kill them and not expect the family members to do anything about it?

kotushk (02/20/2013) [-] Building traps, no, I cannot. But again, necessity breed invention. Does that mean I will survive? Maybe, maybe not. No one is ever fully prepared. As for how old I am, I am 23 years old. And I would not be traveling in a large group. A large group would slow me down. And larger groups tend to require more of a government. I would travel with my brother, and my best friend. We all understand what to do when someone, no matter who it is, is bitten.
