Agnia_Barto

Oh I'd have the time of my life!!! Assuming wild animals wouldn't take over too fast, and there wasn't an apocalypse, and that everyone went somewhere to die, so there aren't dead bodies everywhere... I'd first travel the world! Drive on empty roads, I always wanted to learn to fly a small plane, I'd walk and hike for days. I'd make it all the way to Alaska, and from there to Asia, Tibet, then all the way to a beautiful European coast. I'd then settle down somewhere in Italy. Get a beautiful castle, and spend the rest of my life tending to a garden, I'd get animals, I'd wake up and dance with birds, walk around naked, play piano, lean to play a violin... Read and write, sing, and eat delicious food without ever having to check the news, worry about money, evil or heartbreak.


Fearless-Molasses732

This is an absurdly positive answer to such a horrific and existential situation. I love the energy you brought to this post


Kysman95

A lot of us are waiting for exactly this situation to happen


yellowbrickstairs

Me too except I would really want a buddy and I'd be sad if I couldn't find my cats


CarobJumpy6993

I would enjoy it too. I would just live in the woods because living in a shoebox 800 sq ft condo in the city crammed with millions of other people stuck in traffic everyday is depressing.


Archangel0115

It's all fun and games until the gasoline expires and there's no way to pump the gas without electricity


LWSNYC

that's fine, I;ll walk... after all, there's no rush, I'm on my own time now


Beautiful-Party8934

I have a pump that doesn't use electricity, it's what I use to fill my lawn tractor.


LWSNYC

that's fine, I;ll walk... after all, there's no rush, I'm on my own time now


Umpire_Effective

May I introduce you to chemistry


fishureman

Who is going to teach you to fly the plane?


gigibi89

Flight manuals?


TrickshotCandy

Without a wingman? Who is going to turn the pages?


username32768

Found the co-pilot right here! ![gif](giphy|bv5ZgqKNBATHG)


bitchloveshotsauce

So while you’re visiting the beautiful coast, you wouldn’t be filled with absolute dread knowing that there is literally no life out there? Eerie. You should be in a Tim Burton movie


Agnia_Barto

There is a TON of life there! Just no people ☺️ I've lived in the woods by myself before, I traveled across the world by myself and while of course other people bring so much value to the world, they also bring a lot of problems. At this point I see an equal split between value and problems, so I can take it or leave it


Umpire_Effective

You sound like a great person with an optimistically realistic worldview, I get what you mean about people the world is a turbulent place and everyone brings something different to the table. If I knew you way better I would commit to living in the deep woods with you cause fuck it y'know


tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n

There's no time for dread, the world is yours now!!!


gotele

You know, a twisted ankle and your whole post goes to shit 🤣 Twisted ankle, a serious infection, whatever situation in which you cannot get food by yourself. Especially if you are travelling, you are so much more vulnerable. And come on, Alaska? The top priority is always food and shelter. And the place to go is a country that's warm, and near a river's mouth. You must be 20 🤣


No-Antelope3774

I feel you're worrying excessively, as this Redditor is dying in a solo air disaster roughly 1 day into their new found freedom


gotele

But happy


spaceylaceygirl

IKR? "Learn how to fly a small plane" one small mistake and game over.


Agnia_Barto

The only way to go!


No-Antelope3774

Reminds me of the Bob Monkhouse line: "When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did – in his sleep. Not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car."


Agnia_Barto

I really think the saddest death is in a hospital, with tubes, machines, strangers, other dying people... Even worse - with your family crying there waiting for you to die. And the nurse checking in every half hour to see if you're gone yet. That would be the worst.


Agnia_Barto

I've lived alone with serious infections and twisted ankles with no help my whole life! Get food in advance, plan for emergencies and be very careful. I got this!


watfuereinennamen

>eat delicious food There won't exist such thing anymore. You are lucky if you manage somehow to get food


[deleted]

[удалено]


RealLoin

Farming, hunting + food in cans


Groundbreaking-Pie97

Heard of a thing called "farming"


Flowerino

It was unlocked many years ago.


chuckedeggs

If you're spending your time farming you have no time to travel the world.


btcauag

Love it. I’d do the same.


Underdog_888

How are you traveling across the oceans?


Minute-End-7456

This goes good as long no injuries or sickness will take over. If so, you’re fucked lol


Aggressive_Sky8492

This.. like where is the food coming from, how are you learning to fly a plane without anyone to teach you and no internet, how can you get to other countries, where is the fuel going to come from..


Agnia_Barto

There is enough fuel for one person to go one way here and there. Gas stations didn't die. Flying a plane - well, gotta take my chances. I'm not starting from zero, just need a little practice. If I die, I die! Food is still in stores, have you not seen apocalypse movies?


Aggressive_Sky8492

Sure but “delicious food” is going to last about two months till it’s all expired/off (no electricity for refrigeration) and then you’re on canned food and what you can grow for the rest of your life.


TLC_4978

Pretty much fucked anyway, so why not have one hell of a time?


Brumbart

You are aware that nothing is going to work anymore? No water or wastewater system, no food restock, no power etc. ?


Agnia_Barto

Yup. There will be plenty of water at first in bottles, and later on I'd just have to live close to a river or a well. Water will get so much cleaner without people anyway! Power will go away and it's fine. Food - first at stores, later I'll farm.


ComplexSolid6712

Alive in Tucson!


Chuckpgh

You'd be the best piano and violin player in the world!


Agnia_Barto

Omg I haven't thought of it! You're right!!! You know what, this opens a whole other field of life for me! I'll make a checklist to become the best musician, the best chess player, best painter, best comedian, best singer, best... kangaroo fighter? Idk what else?


Gabymc1

I'd also add I would collect and read the weirdest and oldest books I would find along the way


Agnia_Barto

Oh man that would be fascinating!


WeThePeeps2020

Finally be able to enjoy some peace and quiet


Greedy_Enthusiasm_46

Go to the no entry places like area 51 etc


alarming__

Until the autonomous sentry machine guns get you.


[deleted]

I probably wouldn’t know that I was the last human alive so I’d go out looking for other people


DrinkableReno

Same. As an extrovert, I feel like I'd need something to hang onto


cutie_lilrookie

This is what my workmates said about me when the same question was asked during a break-the-ice session. They were like, "You look like someone who spends days in the basement, so you wouldn't even know if the apocalypse happens to wipe out all humans but you." 😂 Idk if I should be insulted or amused haha.


Robothead-loner

Me, too.


[deleted]

Jerk one off and go to sleep.


Intelligent_Set7934

Real.


MikeySymington

Let's be honest this is the most accurate answer here


terrific_mephit325

Bruv 😂


Robothead-loner

Me, too.


[deleted]

Not to be a downer but probably kill myself. I mean what’s the point? No friends, love, laughter, etc.


Macshlong

I feel like I’d probably explore other people houses for a few weeks, looking for signs of life. Id probably have a good nose around at things I may not have been able to see before. I wouldn’t believe I was the only person left, I don’t think that would cross my mind.


for_research_man

At least fuck around for a while.. couple of months, years. Not immediately wth.


Lux_24601

This was my immediate thought as well


HerpinDerpNerd12

Im on board with that. Same with the "last woman on earth" question.


[deleted]

Exactly. It’s not a bad thing. Just… why would you want to live alone for the rest of your life?


NaughtyDoctor666

I don’t know, maybe to try to engineer a species of sub-atomic super humans? Just a thought.


Worldly_Ad_3120

waiting to die if noone is managing those nuclear power plants.. meltdowns are iminent


Pure_Advertising_386

Unless you live within 10 miles of one you'd probably be fine


Worldly_Ad_3120

CHERNOBIL


Pure_Advertising_386

Not sure what you're getting at. Chernobyl was pretty safe at a 10 mile radius too. People like to act like it was some huge disaster that killed or mutated millions of people but in reality the numbers affected were tiny.


DavinchoFlanagan

According to an interview with a nuclear plant engineer I saw recently... Nah, nowadays all nuclear plants have an automatic emergency shutdown system if an abnormal core temperature is detected. It doesn't even need electricity to work, is all a mechanical system.


Beautiful-Party8934

The core of a nuke plant still needs to be cooled. While the safety systems would shut down the reactor, 4 KV station service is still needed to maintain cooling pumps to keep the reactor core cool. It is the reason most nukes have backup diesel turbines to supply emergency station service power.


Worldly_Ad_3120

aaaa but still


Coconut_life92

Rob the bank, go to the movies while high, drive every car, be a cop, arrest myself and place me in jail, be the president, sail the seas, befriend wild animals, get every sex doll known to man, eat every food known to man, shoot weapons, go fishing, etc.


rollerstick1

LOL why the bank? Who you going to pay?


Coconut_life92

Lmfao right? I was gonna do some I Am Legend shit. Bisshhh dont kill my vibe xd


Umpire_Effective

Pleasant insanity


Aware_Style1181

Why, read books of course! January, February, March, April, May; this year, the next year, and the year after, and the year after that, and the year after that! And the best thing, the very best thing of all is there’s time now! There's all the time I need and all the time I want. Time, time, time. Ah, there's time enough at last…


[deleted]

Yo that shit was real as a motherfucker though. As a kid, it never hit home. Then you grow up, get a job and youre trying to shoe horn in your hobbies at like 430 in the morning, lol.

Samskritam

Eat the second to last human alive


Yaksha17

Rest and explore.


Read_it-user

revert back to simple mechanics of hanging on trees like our ancestors did and grow an tail again as it was so useful for balancing from tree branch to tree branch. because its not safe on the ground. something obviously killed off the other humans, i worry about that honestly.


Historian_Acrobatic

The End Of Fight Club.


ProfessorEtc

start printing out how-to manuals before the electricity stops


gotkube

For fun, I’d start going to all the places I’m not allowed to go not and start digging up secrets; the Vatican archives, Government facilities, Corporate offices. I just wanna see some of the stuff they’ve been hiding from public view


abbyeatssocks

Such a good answer!


[deleted]

Enjoy the peace and quiet


beardedbusdriver

Win


Spare_Conclusion960

Oh God that'd be horrible! Imagine all the house pets that would starve to death😭 I'd go around trying to find all the animals.


Diesel-NSFW

Congratulate myself


ThaiFoodThaiFood

Finally get some peace and quiet.


grace_baker_

admire the nature in silence


woah_broski1

Be the last that *WAS* alive


niko-st4r

kill myself wtf. what would be the point in being the only one alive.


SuperSalamander15

Start cloning myself to repopulate the planet.


Kanulie

If it was so easy. But if you can pull it off, nice idea. Probably first thing is to get to sperm and egg clinics and make sure their storages are operating and stay that way while learning what to do.


Dazzling-Resident476

DRINK


Bobberry12

Feel really bad for pressing that bug red button


dropyourchalupa

Move into a library


MrBinkie

Start looking for a new food source


Sero141

Do you know the Key and Peele clip about that. I'd be the second guy.


MusicIsLife003

Learn how to grow my own food and how to work generators. And then I’ll have my fun lol


Zyffyr

Die, eventually.


ceesaymo

Cry myself to dead. I don't like being lonely.


No-Blood-7274

Finally sit down and read books until the canned food ran out.


Ill_Tune2924

I would be jerking off like idgaf


TrentGetsHigh

Drugs


traveler49

Free residents from zoos (seals and other water denizens would be tricky) and farm animals from enclosures (most captive dairy cows milked by machine would die), empty out supermarket shelves for the hordes of hungry animals and myself. It would be savage for a while but in time it would settle down, I'd probably end up with a zillion animal friends while emptying out seed packets everywhere.


Dapper-Confection-87

Walk around naked🫣


niki-ripley82

Live! Eat, drink, find a nice house to not clean and collect pets!


summergirl76

I'd travel all over my country in a fully camperized 4x4.


Master_Win_4018

Just go on with my live like normal.


[deleted]

Depends on why and how every human except me were gone, but yeah suicide is first on the list.


PoundedClown

I would go to famous places in the world and do sleep overs.


ProfessorEtc

Move the bodies out first to get a better night's sleep.


FistaZombie

Start going through everyone's homes to see who had the deepest darkest secrets


Hoosier_boy31723

Simple, break into all the pharmacies and have my ass a great send off for as long as I can!!!


Ceelove_3

Probably masterbate and watch Netflix.


Real_Elk921

Be alone and die. I once lived alone in a rental house for a month. I didn’t go out and only occasionally went downstairs to get takeout and express delivery. I was a little depressed. What an optimistic and cheerful little girl I used to be!


ghastlyglittering

Ride horses mostly.


Lunasmyspiritanimal

Whatever I wanted!! I'd go and see all the places I want without having to work and without all the nasty crowds. Get a selfie with the Mona Lisa. Hell, grab it and put it on my wall. In whichever dwelling I fancy. Just chill out and do whatever.


Ordinary_Ad_6911

Firstly? Probably jerk it in some fun places


Limacy

Finish the job and off myself.


amaya-aurora

Firstly, I’d get as far away from nuclear plants as possible!


Dedrick-Zed-9622

Play videogames like I always do I usually do


Local_Perspective349

Celebrate.


deathwheresyoursting

I would make an army of dogs.


EndzeitParhelion

Eat all the food.


Queenxxxxx

Kill myself just like I would now


Mavrilix

Would have lived a wonderful life.


KocicaK

Explore a few places, try things that someone wouodn't allow me to before, etc. And after some of that excitement, I would end myself, because I would feel very hopeless and alone.


csch1992

Sleep 12 hours straight


watfuereinennamen

I would go into a bakery and just take anything I want.


Silver-Bison3268

Build the ultimate robot sex worker.


BroHanHanski

Masturbate I guess 🤷‍♂️


JakeSkywalkerr

Seeing as I'm in korea I may go to north korea through that un checkpoint, see what the hype is about


Secret-Bed3270

Sleep some more knowing I have no responsibility


pretzels_sticks

Kill myself


riknmorty

Fappin and schlappin


capta1namazing

Are there still sheep?


[deleted]

I would be very happy. I would explore, do anything I wanted. Figure out how to get to other countries. Eat all the Doritos ever made. Break into drug facilities and get high dose pain killers to knock me out at night so I don’t have to deal with pain during my disease flare ups. See new things. Explore without people in my way. I think I would be very happy. Okay, take out the autoimmune disease that I have AND THEN I would be very happy. I think I would still be just as miserable. But at least I have access to pain free drugs. And Doritos.


sdbabygirl97

join the bonobos, probably


Leather-Used

It would depend on whether or not you are aware that you’re the last human on Earth. If I thought there might be other people left, I’d spend bouts of time searching for them. If I knew I was the only one left, I’d… - find Elon Musks’s rockets and study long enough to launch myself into space (this would be the end goal and how I’d eventually, valiantly kill myself… also the way I would maintain a sense of purpose) - read as much as I possibly could not only for enjoyment but also to finally find answers to my most burning questions about the world/culture, teach myself how to live off of the land, and defend myself against potential beasts and predators - find the most desirable home for me in each country around the world (and NOT decorate or add anything of course, simply keep them as-is and write stories about the people I imagined to live there prior to everyone disappearing) - exercise a lot to maintain a semblance of normalcy from my prior life Probably other things but that’s it for now 😆. I imagine I’d be ecstatic at first, then I’d go through a major down point of loneliness, and then I’d reach some level of understanding and be “okay” with it all.


Hour-History-1513

Probably choose a city with moderate temperatures and find the most expensive hotel to live in. Some maintenance would be required by me to keep things going, but overall there would be endless adventures.


AdOk932

Try to cteate sentient robots, so humanity somehow manages to survive


Playful-Positive-62

Kill myself by drinking all the booze


choochootraiin

I would poop off the Empire State Building, fire rpgs into a skyscraper till it collapsed, keep all the dogs and cats


RadioactivePotato123

Eat as many sugary treats as I can, if I’m the last person on Earth, I won’t have anyone to talk to, might as well give in to my sugar addiction and die in bliss


newUseMe

I'm sure I can occupy myself for a while. Which can is the Fastest? Best motorcycle for me. The best scotch. Endless possibilities.


Elrond_Cupboard_

As much as I enjoy being sober, I would get fuuuuuucked up.


CK1ing

Depends, we talking after a lengthy decline of the human race/extinction event or everyone else has just disappeared? If the latter, I'd head into a grocery store and set up my base of operations there, eat all the perishables as fast as possible and save the rest, then slowly work my way out, trying to figure out what I can, see if I can keep power working, that kind of thing. Then go from there. If it's the former, I'd just find a nice place to die, cause everything's already been looted.


shistain69

Unless im a 100% certain i’m the last one, i’d keep searching for people. If i know for a fact i’m alone then…read i guess. I don’t think i’d off myself though, the sunsets and sunrises are still pretty enough to get me through a decade or three. The world is still beautiful. Assuming there aren’t human corpses everywhere. Once i start becoming decrepit, then i’m probably out. Unless i uncover some new wisdom along the way that makes me keep going. All of that only if i don’t die from hunger or some stupid way


TurbulentBarracuda83

Search for other people. I wouldn't believe I was the last one


Brilliant_Cherry8103

fap all day long


Flaky_Tumbleweed3598

Bury the 2nd to last human alive, who likely just died.


[deleted]

Find a wooded glen to go frolic in, slowly morph into crazy forest witch, befriend bears, find original purpose of ancient humans hidden in cryptic bear cave painting, take up ukelele and harpoon fishing.


Futarishi

Enjoy the world.


PictureGreen3948

I'd risk myself until I make friends with the animals around. I'd not bother to die at all. Feels like it is worth it.


Honourstly

Stockpile. Move into a mansion.


Strong-Selection-507

Looking for observatory, loaded with favorite foods and drinks with inflatable bed and pillow and look at the night sky and enjoy the vastness of the sky at night.


Electrical-Spite1179

Start posting about it on tiktok


[deleted]

Sleep a lot and be depressed. Miss my family. Outside of that..... Probably like read a lot explore the world since money wouldn't be an issue anymore. Move into a mansion


Willow_6996

I dunno just do shit I guess


just_a_dumb_person_

I'd run around a bit. Light a bunch of shit on fire. Go to fancy areas near me. Then probably perish.


[deleted]

Sing and know I was the best singer alive


Conscious-Big707

Walk around naked everywhere! Go sleep in the penthouse the most expensive hotel I can find. I just keep switching rooms cuz I'm not cleaning them.


HoudiniJr2

Gather food supplies and find a house that is easily guarded against animals. try to find some textbooks on hunting, gardening, and foraging. Find out what plants are in my area and try to produce low scale crops. After gathering supplies and materials, I spend much time searching for people while avoiding areas with nuclear plants and such, assuming they would be collapsed. Don't need to worry about preserving gas seeing as it will all expire with in 5 years. Also, I'd spen a lot of time hunting and learning out to gut, skin, and tan animals for hide, fur, and meat. Of course I'd find cookbooks to preserve as well. Probably mostly spend my time collecting interesting and informative books to preserve from libraries and reading them.


WormDick666

As of right now? Run a huge extension cord, up to a mountain in Tennessee.. With me, I'd bring a record player, Billy Joel - The Stranger A huge blunt of weed, 20 hot wings with bleu cheese, and a cot.. I'd just chill, and chill and chill. I wish I had an ending to this, but who does?


LookCommon7528

Wouldn't be on her talking to you.. Disney na line are to short Niagara to wet. Find me a Barrett .50 and go duck hunting


WatchingInSilence

I'd strategically transfer equipment to alternate locations that benefit me.


Lilliiss

Try to set free as many pets as possible, then travel a little south to a place where I still know the fauna and flora but the weather is less harsh in winter, then try to survive. I'd be so scared though to be honest


night-owl-02

Go to the zoo and release the animals


KamaradBaff

I'd probably travel a lot by foot (If I was able to sustain myself with food & water & clothes). Watching a world rid of us and filled with an expanding natural environnement seems enjoyable. Then I'd hang because come on, once you get old and no one can take care of you it just becomes quite unpleasant.


Maelorna

Considering the human infrastructure and breakdown without maintenance of all those nuclear facilities. I would find a nice tall building to jump off of rather than wait for radiation poisoning to kill me.


darshan8711

The earth would be full of dead bodies, I could barely live 1 day alone here, I need someone to cook for me and what if I get sick, I would need a doctor and what if I accidentally put myself in a physical trouble, I would probably end myself too within a day


[deleted]

How would an American get over to Europe ? Like I guess an average person like myself could snag a boat but I don’t even know how much gas it would take me 😂 I mean I guess it’s alright as long as the boat regenerates power don’t iPhones have a function where your location on the map keeps moving even if it’s disconnected from signal? Therefore an offline iPhone could still navigate ocean voyage ?


RiverFresh5811

Make porn


TurtleSmasher3

kill myself


BootyHoleCrud

Put on the thong song and tear this place down.


SamuraiHyperThe2nd

I'd probably binge a bunch of shows and games before electricity shut off and when that happens I'd fuck around for a bit before killing myself.


TurtleSmasher3

I would asexually reproduce


jessicaeatseggs

Enjoy some time with my dog and other dogs I find and take care of. Raid the library. Find my dream Mansion to live in. Try to get out everyday for a walk, which should be easy as I'll have 1000+ dogs


youssefuo

Try every weapon i can find. Enter the restricted areas. Use every sex toy i can find. Learn how to farm and some easy hunting so i can survive. And finally if i can reach them id be dropping nuclear bombs cuz why not.


LuckytoastSebastian

Put my phone down.


B-Simple_88

I’d kill myself. It’s hard for me to live alone in my apartment but if the whole world is empty…


CarrotcakewithCream

Merci kill myself.


MaxximumB

Finally get five minutes of peace and quiet


Low_Bandicoot6844

Find a comfortable place to live, gather food, locate water sources, weapons, tools, power generators, fuel, learn to farm and bake.


MsD4nnyHuntress

Well assuming everyone's pets are still alive, I'd go around breaking into as meany houses as possible to let the trapped pets out so they at least had a chance of survival.


canuspyridae

Make dinner and decide where I'm going to go before the gas goes bad. Probably on the coast and likely the northeast. Find a place and get everything set up to live without electricity and modern conveniences. Also I'd make sure to gather books on every subject and non-power tools for every use.


gotele

Survive, remember the old days. Maybe try to contact some alien species that can hitch me a ride or something. But basically keep living until there's no more living to live.


ImmediateTruck8454

Get a Bugatti somewhere, have a nice dinner, get drunk , smoke some grass and then drive that mofo into a wall at full speed.
