If you were the last person on Earth, what would you do with your time?

submitted by Zapped from self.AskSaidIt

Really think about it. I am curious about how resourceful some of you are and what you would do with spare time not needed on surviving.

The circumstances surrounding everyone else's disappearance would weigh heavily on my answer.

Great answer.

They all got in a spaceship and purposely left you behind

...It's like middle school all over again!!!!!

[–]UncleWillard56 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

HA! They fell for my evil plan! Or so I would convince myself. Honestly, if I were that much of a dick, I would expect them to make or convince me to leave.

[–]Fearmonger 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Look for other people.

[–]IMissPorn 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Probably, yeah. Realistically you wouldn't know you were the last person.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 5 fun1 insightful - 4 fun2 insightful - 5 fun -  (0 children)

What if someone told you?

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

I don't think my life would be that much different. I'd probably drink more and go half mad being lonely.

Did the liquor stores survive this tragic collapse of humanity unscathed? I might be drinking some top tier hooch for the rest of my days

Don't lie, you'd collect cats

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Fair enough.

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Masturbate.

[–]Zapped[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I am not clicking that ink even though it's YouTube and should be safe.

[–]LarrySwinger2 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Wise choice.

[–]Ferretman 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Read. Play wargames. Tend my greenhouse and my bees. Fend off zombies.

Another great episode.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There is a-lot to do. I mean, you kind of own everything at that point. Id be shooting alot of stuff. Using gernades everywhere. I would try to make a collection of the worlds most valuable shit.

Like take the hope diamond, gold, jewels. Id probably catch fire to a fire works store.

Id collect guns and ammo first. That would be a must.

Id try to build a shine to like god.

It would be surreal though.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'd learn how to fish.

[–]HiddenFox 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I would bone up on my biology and look at where we are with cloning humans. Assuming I could find a lab and the power was still working might try and take the next step.

Could also look at reproduction clinics. See if there were some frozen embryos, sperm and eggs. Try and save them and put them to good use. Not really sure how practical of a plan it is...

Plan B would be find a nice warm location, something with a view and set it up with some off grid tech to keep the lights running. Try and maintain a modern life style. Farming for one can fill a lot of time. There is enough movies, books, music and games that could keep me going and sane.

I'd think - I should have taken Zapped's question more seriously. Now I have no idea. Oh look, a squirrel!

[–]Zapped[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

I said if you were the last person on Earth, not the last bot.

#HologramLivesMatter

[–]Zapped[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Should I wear my haptic suit to converse with you?

[–]youfuckingtwat 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Sorry - haptic suit and telepresence interactions with holograms are banned in the UK, particularly for holograms who are old enough to know what an 8-track tape is, according to the Care Act of 2014, as it protects against elderly hologram abuse. (I was the hologram in episodes of General Hospital in 1982.)

[–]Zapped[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Hologramps. Amiright?

[–]youfuckingtwat 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Watch it, buddy boy - I could also be Lawnmower Man/Jobe Smith

[–]Iswearbymyfloralhat 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm smiling ear to ear as I cruise down empty, bumpy highways with my biodiesel truck. Im moving closer to the equator where I will live until I get bored. Then I travel the world gathering seeds and fruit trees in my biodiesel ship, eventually jumping in a plane, where I will accidentally crash and die.

[–]musky-the-nigger 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Two chicks at the same time! ; )

[–]youfuckingtwat 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

wtf!?

[–]binaryblob 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I already feel like I am the last person on Earth. There are some NPCs walking around and they say they are persons, but I don't buy it.

[–]MobiusRacetrack 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Put the Vincent Price movie on endless loop.....

[–]UncleWillard56 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Sail. I'd travel to all the places I ever wanted to visit.

[–]EternalSunset 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Find some attractive female corpse to rape and then probably raid a supermarket before all the icecream melts or something.

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It isn't rape if she's dead.

[–]KyleIsThisTall 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was, was all the time I needed...

[–]Mcheetah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Fuck as many fresh female cadavers as I could. Then teach all the chimps how to read and write.
