If you woke up to find yourself as the last human on earth, what would you do?

I'd live for a little while, explore, and do some crazy crap. But I'd probably get bored eventually and quite depressed, and kill myself.

Live life and create, and hope to God that someone will show up in the next life!

I'd barricade my house, stock up on supplies, and wait for the zombie-vampires to come.

Other: I'd search for other humans cuz there is no way you could convince me that I was indeed the last.

Who would convince you? You're the last one left, there isn't anyone to convince you that you are the last person there. :p

I'd make the best of it.

I imagine I'd go insane - then probably die by stuffing myself with bavarian doughnuts. At least there would be no-one to call me fat.

I would be king queen of the world. I would eat anything I want and be as fat as a cow. I would be nude all the time and do what ever I liked when ever I liked. When I got tired of all that I would probably kill myself.

Well, see, it would be hard to know for sure whether or not I was the last human on Earth (since Earth is, unlike Pluto, sort of big).

I'll assume God had a purpose and/or plan for me???

Go exploring!

I guess I'd have to grab a vehicle and load it up with supplies; non-perishable food items, bottled water, a rifle, some ammo, a knife, axe, warm clothes, books, some camping gear. The electricity wouldn't hold out long. I'd probably have to keep changing vehicles after that, because I wouldn't be able to get the pumps working at the gas stations. I suppose a siphon would come in handy too. After a few years it would probably be hard to get any vehicles to work at all. They would seize up from lack of use. So I had better get where I'm going now. I think I'd head down to Mexico. Nice and warm. Long growing season. I'd start a small farm. I probably wouldn't be entirely convinced that I was the only one left, so I'd keep an eye out.

Oh yeah, I'd probably hit the SPCA and adopt a few big dogs for companionship and security against all the wild animals that would be roaming around. So add dog food to the shopping list.

Let me guess...the Rapture and I was the only one that didn't get saved? At least there would be no one left to cut my head off Okay seriously I'd go find some fertilization clinics and learn all I could about IVF but make sure the power plants are still generating energy. Than I'd find and pick out some eggs to fertilize. But wait! That's useless without a woman. So I guess I'd be screwed. Of course one woman would only need to go to a fertility clinic and get some sperm and hey presto they could regenerate society all on their own. But if by some magical reason a fertilized egg would become a person without the need for a woman to let it grow, then I would raise the resulting babies and establish myself as King of a socialist liberal Kingdom with the intention of replacing it with a democracy (with citizen's initiated referendum abilities written into the constitution) once I died. Of course I'd try and put a lot of resources into trying to find the secret to immortality. I would then allow every citizen to have immortality and would remain as their King.

I would wander the earth like Cain in Kung Fu, the Legend Continues (only I wouldn't have anyone to offer my help to) looking for someone else.... there has to be SOMEONE out there! Then I'd have to quickly get somewhere warm because without heat I'd freeze my ass off up here. And I'd probably end up having to live off fruit and etc because I can't see killing anything. Well, maybe a chicken... I'd have a gay time driving different cars (hopefully it's not like The Stand and the highways are not clogged up) Oh yeah, I'd also have fun getting into the gun shops and firing all the weapons I could get my hands on. Blow some stuff up real good. The only thing that would piss me off is not being able to get overseas.

Wait... where are the people? I didn't get "Left Behind" did I? Are there dead bodies everywhere....?

I live as long as possible provided I wasn't in constant excruciating pain. I'd do what I could to enjoy myself. I've always felt comfortable being alone.

Wanna hear something goofy? I'd be afraid to get pregnant and give birth for fear of complications and dying. But my only alternative is to allow the human race to die out completely at my death. Interesting..........my fear of death is greater than my fear of being alone.

Oh yeah, I didn't stop to think that a lone woman couldn't deliver her own baby. But what can you expect?

She could deliver it fine, but I'm talking like what if she has complications, no C section.

Oh okay. So you'd be risking your life just to restart civilization? That would be quite the dilemma...

It would. It would be either possible death now and if you die the baby dies so that's that or die years later with no possiblity of saving the human race.

Quit my job and catch up on my reading.

I would continue to live as long as possible. I would get to France somehow, then travel Europe

I'd look for other people. And, if my glasses weren't broken, I'd read a lot.

I'm with Enigma. I'd definitely blow a bunch of crap up.

Freak.

I would cry.

Then I would try and live as long as possible. I would probably try and travel all over the place looking for other people - because how would I know that I was the only one?

I guess I would go ahead and commit suicide if no other humans were left down here, and I was all by myself kill me kill me please'

Man, I would love that. I could go from house to house eating all the good foods, watching all the great movies I could find, sleep in a different bed every night, listen to fantastic music all the time, drive a different car every day, snoop to my heart's content, get drunk all I wanted. Crap, I would never outlive the resources. It would be a completely self-centered life and I would love it.
In fact, this has just become my absolute favourite fantasy of all time. Thanks, survey creator

I'm not sure. I doubt I'd kill myself, but I wouldn't have much to live for. My son would be gone. The rest of my family would be gone. My friends would be gone. What kind of life would that be?

Anybody see 28 Days Later? That's what this survey reminds me of.

I'd definitely live.

I think I'd go on sabbatical to find myself a good home near beach and forest, with an orchard, an art studio, and a good old fashioned workshop that can be powerd by a windmill. I know of one place already that nearly meets those criteria, but it's a run down barn. I might prefer Hearst castle if it turns out to have the amenities I'd require.

I bet you could artificially inseminate pigs or something. I didn't think of the repopulating possibility. Can you imagine the bible they'd have 4000 years later, about mother pig?

I think though that if I found myself alone, a big warning flag 'not meant to be' would come up in my head if I considered playing Island of Dr. Moreau.

So how long have you ever been alone? I find that after just a few days (alone in nature), time has a completely different feel and i stop thinking in words altogether.

Well hey, if if it happens, Swing by Hearst castle on your way down just in case. Perhaps I'll have some steam powerd guitar synthesizers set up by then.

Actually, I think a castle would be inefficient. I'd be too lazy to walk from library to kitchen. If it were Europe though, I'd definitely want to take a tour of the castles. I wouldn't be up for the Kon Tiki approach to getting there though.

We did this as an exercise in high-school, and the teacher nominated me president of our civilisation of 22. It was a good assignment. He forced us to consider things like what happens when 18 guys and 4 gals are forced to spend eternity together.

Ask God what he wanted me to do and wait for the answer.. then do it

Is it possible to inseminate animals with human embryos?

Probably, as long as long as the embryo isn't identified as foreign and rejected. If we can use pig hearts though, it seems possible.

I was thinking of this movie when I made it, actually :)

I love that move and any variations of the end of the world with zombies theme.

I'd do my best to survive, but would eventually die from infection spread by insects feasting on all the rotting human corpses lying around.

See, there isn't destruction or dead people. They simply just vanished. But if you'd like there to be corpses, then go with it :)

I don't know. Now if it were me and one last female I know exactly what I'd be doing.

Well put. That is probably similar to what I'd really do.

I would find myself a good ride, the best butcher shop and the nearest liquor store

Seems like the sensible thing to do if you want to stay alive.

I would continue to live as long as possible

For my class assignment, I suggested we move in to the smithsonian institution, both to save modern technology for future generations, and to learn earlier technology for immediate survival.

Maturbate.

How very true!

> I would find myself a good ride, the best

Nice/perfect priorities! I think I'd switch the butcher and the liquor around though.

PARTY!!!!

LOL nice answer

Once I start drinking then I'd forget about the butcher shop and be to drunk to ride lol

Oh, not me! I'll still get my steaks, and who cares if your drinking and driving? Your the only one there.

Miss my family and then go shopping and eat all the high quality chocolate I could find since my weight wouldn't matter anyway and then hit the pharmacy, actually, I'd probably hit pharmacy first.

Too bad for the baby though, they would become a bully magnet.

Ya lost me there. Seems our context was no other humans, thus no bullies. and besides, who's to know. For all we know, many of our presidents were conceived in this manner.

I would start walking.

Another match! We both said start walking!

I would have fun till I went insane

Go back to sleep.

Why not, it wouldn't be like someone was waiting on you.

Exactly, I like your thinking

Run around nude, travel to theme parks (I'm aware the rides wouldn't work since there is no to operate them.) and became a nomad, probably.

I'd do what i've always wanted to. somewhat like Dawn of the Dead. i'd go to a mall and make a store into my home. get a bed, and just take a shopping cart and push it around picking up things i wanted. And sure, once i had everything i wanted i'd realize i was the only person there, and see there wasn't even a chance of repopulating, i'd off myself.

I'd watch "I am Legend" for ideas.
