Handy tip:

British troops with lovely, unreliable, inaccurate firearms would routinely massacre thousands of screaming, fast, sneaky, capable of planning African natives with only a few dozen troops taking effectively 0 losses.

A slow moving, walks directly at you, obvious enemy incapable of thinking or planning, enemy is going to be cut down by a modern military so fast they would have to be put on an endangered species list.

If the electricity was still going, I'd probably head to my classroom/shop and make some sick bludgeoning weapons and some spikes and poo poo for the front of my SUV and motorcycles. Also, might just move in there as the kitchen is well stocked.

Hey, food for 700 people would last a family of 4 for quite awhile. Plus, building materials, welding equipment, car servicing equipment, etc. Seems reasonable to me.

a suppressor doesn't seem too complex, but subsonic ammo is kind of important if you're trying to be silent. I just have to get my camping stuff, whatever food I have on hand and head north, meet up with whatever survivors get together in the north.

I'd lead excursions to get materials and have people put together trapping lanes that we use to get from north to south and back, constructed in such a way that attracted zombies follow along a separate foot track that terminates into killing fields that freezes zombies.

near the killing fields i'd put together electric plants that run on burning corpses

I'd turn the tables and start eating THEIR brains a little at a time until I built up an immunity. Then when one bites me, I'd go "I'm immune, IDIOT!" and punch them in the face.

There is a dumb video game called Rimworld, and it has a mod for zombie invasions, and you can do just this. It is pretty baller.

The only advantages humans have over other animals are their intelligence and manual dexterity. Zombies have neither of those things. They have no real defenses against wolves, bears, stray dogs, etc., let alone humans with guns and cars and stuff.

So my answer is: hole up in my house and wait for the military to mop up all the zombies.

E: Or even be a proactive citizen and run them over with my car. I doubt they'd even be smart enough to try and dodge. :smug:

Because zombie stories are fables about the dehumanizing influences modern society has on individuals and/or escapist fantasies for people who wish they were allowed to go on spree killings. They're not supposed to be realistic.

I'll walk around naked (and erect), with the exception of armour covering my shoulders, neck, forearms and lower legs. This will make me invulnerable to the vast majority of zombie attacks.

Pretty sure they explain this in every movie about zombies

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
My friend has a weird doomsday prepper mentality and claims that in the event of the collapse of civilization he'll be fine cuz his folks got land (out in the texas hill country, not prime cropland I'd point out, also its still densely populated enough to cause major problems in that kind of scenario.)

I tell him it's great that he has the will to go back to being a dirt farmer like his stupid, lovely rear end, short-lived ancestors. As for me, if it ever gets bad enough that power goes off and the internet goes down, im gonna hunter s thompson. Even if I was tough enough to do it, I have zero desire to mad max it. Internet and ac and refrigeration and foods from all over the world and endless entertainment and quick availability of information I'm curious about are the kind of thing that makes life worth living to me. If that poo poo goes, I follow very shortly. :colbert:

Zombie land would have been a much better movie with Michael Cera

Jesse eusenberg was really good in the Facebook movie because he plays an unlikable autistic well.

The zombie movie needed a Michael Cera to do that thing where he looks a the camera and breaks the forth wall and is like "wait what? I don't"
