"Find any well fenced off area, or a bridge, other side of a river bank or any obstacle which zombies cannot cross proceed to shoot and or throw Molotov cocktails at them from the other side."

Fify booboo. Don't get too hung up on typos or try to intentionally misinterpret or twist what I am saying mmkay?

Or do you want me to spoon feed you in terms you can understand? How about shoot guns across obstacles unless they are solid walls and throw Molotov cocktails/grenades over obstacles unless they are too far such as a river etc. Do you want me be hyper specific in my instructions booboo? I could but if you want me to explain don't throw explosives in closed/unventilated areas or around water then chances are it's too complicated for you.

There is a certain level of intelligence I expect my audience to have this conversation with. If you cannot keep up I suggest you go back to anime and communicate with others on your level in weird sign language like uwu.

I think it would be different in a global disaster when you know there's no aid relief coming ever. Yes, at the initial shock you wouldn't know that, and you might try to band together initially for the first year... but then I think your primal sense of survival would kick in.

what is this sign language?

Idk I can't read

just the last sentence seems to matter, either way its entertaining.

im still never watching this show, was thinking of checking out chainsaw man until i read though the thread, now im scared of even going in that forum.

All evidence shows that communities do a much better job at rebuilding when the rich assholes who control the government stay out of things because they have ulterior motives, care more about control than anything else.

Like during the LA fires when people were "looting" houses to get supplies to help the communities that needed it, but then the National guard showed up, made that a crime and arrested/shot people for doing it. They just let all the supplies burn and forced everyone to go to their supply centers. Which ended up leaving everyone with less than if they just fucked off and let people deal.

If you care more about this kind of stuff a great book is:

A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster

He's still going on

Dude is some 600 pound guy who dies in 5 minutes

I think we probably to agree to disagree because again those are what I would call short term disasters comparatively to the fantasy scenario of a worldwide end of days apocalypse, which of course data wouldn't exist for. I am obviously using the phrase "I think" a lot because again who knows, but I think the general mindset would change significantly knowing there is no salvation coming. Survive for the rest of time off the very little remaining resources around you, or die. While banding together might offer the greatest success I think ultimately there would be so many small fractured groups that would wage war on each other constantly resulting in little actual progress.

Who knows though, afterall we did manage to go from caveman to civilization so i guess that's evidence in itself that we can work together to make something.

I mean everything we know through evidence shows that "salvation coming" just makes things worse. Katrina is a great example, gang members stopped fighting and were helping eachother and working beside eachother to help their community. Then "salvation" came and the media made a bunch of false reports of increased gang violence which everyone on the ground agreed were blatant lies and only made things worse. And if you look at the crime stats they plummeted, dropping by over half, only increasing again once things "got back to normal".

Not to mention all of the not for profits that are popping up which help communities rebuild themselves, which have much better long term results than your typical "send people in to do it then take them away".

Plus the idea that "the world has ended, society will never recover" is just insane. Humanity can always recover as long as humans still exist, which is why all the post-apocalyptic media always goes to human on human violence being the main cause the settlements fail.

Would there be some violent assholes? Yes obviously, but they would be an extreme minority, not the majority. Be pessimistic about your views of humanity if you like, but I chose to look at the evidence available and be optimistic.

I live in a place where if a dog comes on your deck to eat your foot since we all keep it outside you just kill it.

It might be impacting my pessimistic views.
