yamobethere: Yeah, well you know if I were in a zombie apocalypse, I would just stay right in the city.
yamobethere: I would probably live somewhere near the Bronx projects.
yamobethere: Everybody is going to be cramming themselves and trying to get themselves out of the city anyways.
yamobethere: And the people who are still alive are going to retreat into the countryside, drawing away most of the city zombies out.
yamobethere: If they're moaning zombies then all I have to do is be really quiet.
Sir Dooble: That's a risky strategy. What if a sizable zombie population persists in the city? Or locked away inside buildings? How will you gather supplies safely?
yamobethere: Well my gambit is to mostly dwell on the rooftops and the hills of the Bronx
yamobethere: I'd probably just raid apartment rooms for supplies - nobody is really rich enough to buy tons of fresh produce, so most of it will be canned goods.
Sir Dooble: Fair enough. I suppose you just have to hope that there aren't any major accidents, like fires that destroy lots of buildings.
yamobethere: The buildings in the Bronx are spaced out for enough.
yamobethere: I just hope the wildlife doesn't get me :|
yamobethere: The thought of lions escaping into New York City terrifies me even though they don't attack humans often.
yamobethere: Anyways I think the entire idea of the zombie "virus" spreading by bite is pretty dumb.
Sir Dooble: Surely that population would be relatively low? They're just coming from zoos, aren't they?
yamobethere: That stuff should spread through contaminated water or it should be airborne
yamobethere: Yeah, that was mostly a joke about how in I Am Legend lions and other wildlife have repopulated the city.
Sir Dooble: Yeah, if it spread through bites it would never get far.
yamobethere: The movie anyways.
Sir Dooble: Haha, oh yeah.
Sir Dooble: I think the lions are a bit unrealistic.
Sir Dooble: I don't think deer and things would enter New York City too quickly for them to sustain themselves. Lions would either die in the area, or escape further into the country.
yamobethere: Mhmm.
yamobethere: Islands are a no go though.
yamobethere: Every punk with a skiff will try and get on an island.
yamobethere: Considering that at least, like, 50% of the worlds population live near coastlines that's a ton of people on the open seas.
Sir Dooble: That's true. There are very few island chains that people wouldn't be trying to get onto.
yamobethere: Especially since pretty much every island in exsistance is mapped out.
yamobethere: And any guy or gal with a smartphone can look that stuff up on google and download it or print it before the internet goes down.
Sir Dooble: Or just find maps in a library.
yamobethere: Yeah.
yamobethere: Sailing boats is loving hard, but when 4+ billion people do it, there are going to be a ton of succeeders
Sir Dooble: Definitely.
Sir Dooble: I think it would really depend on how much of the population is devestated and how quickly.
yamobethere: Word spreads fast in today's society.
yamobethere: It'd have to be a really virulent virus to spread like in popular media.
yamobethere: And it's going to be like nothing popular media says it would be like.
Sir Dooble: I think the only way I could imagine it if it was like, old Hollywood halloween zombies, where instead of an infection from people, the dead literally rise all around the world.
yamobethere: There are probably going to be hordes of mall ninjas armed with tapco sks and stufftily made nail-bats killing anything that moves, regardless if it's actually a "zombie" or not.
Sir Dooble: The whole world would have to be caught off guard and hit at once for us to be seriously damaged.
yamobethere: what if it was genetic
Sir Dooble: Militaries alone would definitely destroy most zombie invasions.
yamobethere: like, viruses can cause cancer to form
Sir Dooble: I don't buy what Max Brooks says, about it taking so so long for militaries to realise they have to shoot in the head.
yamobethere: or like, a latent virus
Sir Dooble: Yeah, that would work.
yamobethere: like toxiplasmosis- like 50% of the population has it anyways
yamobethere: it doesn't really effect people (at least outwardly)
itt: all yall island bitches gonna die
