Fly with my family and friends to Antarctica, buy a lot of booze and supplies, assuming no smart zombies and that patient zero wasn’t in Antarctica

  1. Liquidate all my assets
  2. Spend that money on food, bottled water, camping toilets, medicine, etc.
  3. Barricade myself indoors
  4. Wait it all out

I'd post on lemmy what yall do with 2 days left. That way some folk can go get ready by putting thought in there head while im Ieaving city center to air bnb a cabin in a mountain somewhere and getting a EV and some portable solar panels.

[-] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 2 points 20 hours ago

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Assuming they're the type of zombie with no viable circulatory system to help stay warm, I'd relocate up to the Arctic for a while.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Buy a shotgun. Shoot myself. 😆

Oh, and get drunk.

[-] Sunlightl@fedia.io 66 points 2 days ago

My plan would be "go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over"

Go online.

Research how many sleeping pills it takes to die.

Go out and buy them.

Spend time doing things I enjoy with people I like.

Crush the pills up into a drink and pound it.

Go to sleep.

Life's already hard. I don't need to live in a post-apocalyptic world.

Have two days of just absolute living it the absolute fuck up.

And buy a bottle of nitrogen and a non-rebreather mask.

[-] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago

If you can't beat the endless waves of undead may as well join them.

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Realistically the military will eventually clear everything, I just have to survive the weeks it would probably take.

Id buy a bunch of shelf stable food, a wood burner, bunch of lumber for barricading, nails, portable batteries for keeping out phones charged, a big battery for the router (even when thr power is down, internet isnt), guns. A bunch of bottled water too. A bunch of hand sanitizer too to clean out hands constantly if needed

I think thats all I'd need to sit this out. I think the hardest part would be convincing family that theres gonna be a zombie Apocalypse

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

We going camping Boyz!

You only have 2 days before news finds out anyway. You can convince them somehow.

[-] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Get some plants to fight them

[-] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago

Make sure to stock up on fungi for the nighttime, too.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

And Some aquatic variants in case it floods.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.

The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson explaining away zombies. Really took the immersion out of any zombie movies. Basically what you said, but more of it.

Many of the more modern and realistic takes have it caused by an organism that's gone endemic. Meaning anything or anybody that dies changes, regardless of if they were bitten. This provides a constant source of new zombies. In addition to the fact that other survivors are usually a bigger threat than the zombies themselves.

Stock up on canned food, ammo, batteries, fuel etc. Go to a cabin in the wilderness far away from everything. Check that I've got the essentials, realize I forgot something. Go back to town to pick it up. Go back to cabin, go back to town to print out some guides on how to preserve food, go back to cabin.

Buy a lot of toothpaste and toothbrushes.
And I would ask those hordes of zombie to brush their teeth before they try to bite me as I would not want to get sick and maybe contagious right before I'm eaten alive.

[-] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 12 points 2 days ago

I’m going to assume the zombies are the result of a microbial/viral infection reanimating a cadaver. Those muscles aren’t going to stay functional for long, because the body is dead, systems have stopped etc.

I’ll just get enough water and canned food to survive a week. Just lock the doors and stay inside until the zombies outside stop moving.

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 7 points 2 days ago

I would go with 2-3 month, but after first one they shouldn't be all that dangerous. Zombies don't work unless they are of magical kind.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

1 month is a long time. Hope they don't start doing yoga and free health care.

[-] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Living on an upper floor comes in handy for once, as it's actually fairly easy to barricade the front door. Alert some key close friends and family members who will actually believe me. Then stock up on canned goods, fill every possible thing I can with water, and grab some camping solar kits for power once the grid goes down.

After that? Hunker down. Avoid being clearly seen in windows or heard to prevent attracting the undead. I reckon I need to last about 6-9 weeks.

See, the thing is, zombies are going to die out. The average human can go 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Let's assume zombies have a magical lack of need of hydration, so they last 3 weeks. Double that for the time they'll have ample food. Assume another 3 weeks that they'll cannibalize each other or something.

At that point, I can begin to venture outside. Small numbers of capable zombies may still exist, but most will be dead or starving. Other survivors are my greatest worry.

Stock up, stay inside, and wait for the zombies to die from either dehydration or starvation.

[-] PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Is there something you mean to tell us?

[-] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 22 points 2 days ago

…. Look I didn’t drop the vial… but a vial was dropped

Go shopping. Enough to last for a couple of months. Bring some water, as well. Buy some lumber to reinforce the doors. A few steel panels to close off a few strategic places. Raid the library.

Wait a month and allow flies and the weather do their thing.

See the not-so-dead fall apart.

After I stop seeing movement for three straight days, start blasting noise on a high visibility location from my location and wait to see what crawls out.

By this time, I risk two months have already elapsed.

Go out, with a shovel and an axe.

Dig a large pit, fill it with fire wood. Lay down a few of the corpses. Stack it as high as I can make it. Cover with more fire wood.

Syphon some diesel from a random car.

Light it up!

Rinse, repeat, until all the corpses I can find are disposed of, grouping together all the survivors I come across.

Start over.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago

Head on over to the Winchester and wait for this all to blow over.

Drugs.

Then suicide.

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Get black market explosives so I can blow up my brains and don't risk becoming a zombie.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 2 days ago

Supplies and boat on a large body of water.

Wait for real life to kill zombies. Or for them to rebuild society.
