Zombie invasion, Less chance of other people slapping your shit.....

Alien invasion, then we'd already be dead and or enslaved if aliens came, unless we were equally as advanced as a civilization, so I prefer zombies....

Economic collapse....things might be ok if people/communes form.

Nuclear holocaust? Hard mode of survival scenarios.

depends on what you mean by apocalypse.
if you mean the end of the species i dont think that nukes, zombies or economy could pull it off. so id go with the aliens, gives you a chance of token resitance and you get to see all sorts of badass tech. i dont know about you but if im going to have my brains blown apart id rather it be by space and time being warped than by a bullet.
if just end of civilization as we know it: economic collapse. the lessons would in time just make us stronger. and as opposed to many other causes in this one more of the pain falls on those who caused it.

I like to think of things that could actually happen, so that means a global plague, major seismic event, comet or asteroid impact, atomic war, nearby gamma ray burst, or collapse of the biosphere. My favorite? Global plague. It seems highly likely, doesn't cause widespread destruction, and eliminates the problem of humanity first.

Zombies = They become immobile within 24 hours and crisis averted. Unless they are magical.

Interdimensional wizards = Well we're fucked.

Economic collapse = We have a fishing boat, a racing boat and hunting rifles in the summer home. Eh short story long, I'll be safe and sail on back once the poor people have finished eating each other.

Nuclear = Eh, a bit fucked to be honest.

Muslim invasion = I'd move further up north, they hate the cold.

Zombies aren't dead. "real" that is, the zombies that actually exist, are just poisoned till their heart slows down, and seem dead, suffer some brain damage, that sort of thing. Most causes of a "movie" zombie that are likely to happen involve an infection of some sort of virus or fungus.

this "dead zombie" is a rather silly notion that the entertainment industry came up with.

i think when obama eats a tn of taco bell, the one with those nasty fritos on it, and gets fucked in the ass by a commie the fallowing enormous cum-bubble marxist fart will kill us all.

Zombies because eventually they would die off (lack of food / decomposition - depending on which type they are) and there would be a brighter future ahead. The worlds crippling over-population would be eased and it's entirely likely that the slow, stupid and sick would die first.
Plus the macabre pleasure of domination found in killing these fucks would be an interesting experience.
I just hope I find a nice place to hide with some friends and a couple of cases of expensive scotch and i'm set.

>>6524

its sad that the nuclear one is the one that could actually happen opposed to zombies

>>6520
Postman kinda shit. Love the idea of going back to the old west type of days.

Economic collapse. Lucky me.

>>6520
I'm looking forward to the great harvest.

>holy alien wrath FTW

The economic collapse. I blame Radiohead's "The Amazing Sounds Of Orgy" for it.

>>6809
Implying that with all the genetic research involving super viruses like Ebola and h5n1 couldn't result in a virus or bacterium that would be very deadly and act somewhat like rabies...walking dead? Perhaps not but close enough to be called zombies in my book.

Zombie Apocalypse - my favorite. hopefully it will be like LFD type of zombies and not this shitty boring zombies.
Nuclear Apocalypse - if this shit happens best scenario is minimum mutation and minimum environmental effects. worst case scenario is death claws death claws every where

>>6520
Nostalgia, or paperwork.

>>6941
a hemorrhagic virus makes you bleed to death. a flu virus makes your body overheat to death. How are either of those going to somehow mimic rabies? wouldn't the work being done on rabies be more likely to result in a rabies-like epidemic? loo, infectious diseases work like this: you get sick, you either die, or don't. if you die, the disease goes away but if you don't die the disease lives on. but, similarly, if the disease lives on, so do you, meaning you've beaten the infection. you get sick and die, or you get sick and get better. zombies. really.

I'v been on the edge of either nuculer fallout or economic collapse, I used to be zombie all the way but after reading WWZ for the fifth time, beating dead island and watching both seasons of the walking dead yesterday I'm convinced that I would end up dying pretty quick

Satan and his minions come to Earth.

Zombies attacking.
I mean more like the High School of The Dead kinda zombies. I already have escape routes planned out from nearly every situation in my life.

who knows what the fuck would/will happen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OWeGGJxnLY&feature=related

I don't have a favorite. I don't want any of these things to happen, so I have no favorite. Ideally, I'd be most comfortable with an infection-type disaster. An alteration of rabies that fungus that turns you into a zombie.

Why? Because as fun as an apocalypse sounds, I'd probably regret wanting it after a week or two, and cry myself to sleeping wishing that things would go back to normal. The great thing about viruses... you only have to survive for a month, tops. Wear a mask, make sure to keep your air clean, and last for a month, and you're good. The infection would die off to low-levels, and the risk would be gone for the most part. Society would fix itself.

Least ideal scenario is nuclear. Nuclear radiation is a bitch, and it leaves no hope if wide-spread.

Exploding sun. We'd all be dead in minutes and we would have to live a horribley painful life in one of the most depressing scenarios I can think of - everything we know but full of dead people and mostly destroyed.

I'd have to go with economic or zombies because either way more people will survive and I'd want to see how every rich person feels without any use for money

>>6520
I prefer total economic and societal collapse. No big bang to wipe out all the most interesting things about our current world. Just survival of the fittest.

>>6520
Holy nuclear zombies

Ok... I dont mean to bring in bad vibes, but I am so fucking bored of zombies.

Nuclear holocaust would probably get my vote. It some how seems fitting that what is considered the height of technology would bring about our downfall. Oh for sure we'd all die, but at least we dont have to deal with fucking zombies.

>>7323
me too

>>7323 actually it would be highly unlikely that we all die in the event of a nuclear war. Society would collapse and our population number would fall back to post-black plague levels and states would be destroyed and society would have to rebuild from scratch like Fallout New Vegas without Ghouls, Mutants and too much radiation.

>>7363
Well... no.
You are playing to much video games.

>>7364
Yeah you don't survive radiation poisoning as bad as the ghouls were subject to. Mutants will exist but they will be like 8 legged pigs and shit like what came out of Chernobyl, but those die very quickly.

If I ever saw a deathclaw, I would be running very fast in the opposite direction crying with a trail of feces and urine behind me.

>>7364
Actually no i'm not. Even the Fallout game i mentioned exagerates it.
I'm not taking this information out of my ass even the concept of nuclear winter that used to be considered absolute truth is being proven to be exagerated. If we had a nuclear war all important industries and military facilities would be nuked instantly and people would survive in nuclear shelters and in small villages throughtout the globe to re-populate earth.
I personally recomend you the documentary Threads (1986) by BBC it does portray a very accurate depiction of the events during and after a nuclear war relatively near targets of nuclear bombardment but it is extremely outdated and modern theories prove life in post-apocalyptia woudln't be so harsh as they thought but the first 10 years would be pretty tough.
Life expectancy would lower to middle-age levels and radiation poisoning would kill millions.
Human is a pretty persistant animal that lives all over the globe in the far corners of the earth.

>>7365
>>7364

I mentioned Fallout New Vegas becouse i personaly like the representation of politics and war centuries after the nuclear war with the New California Republic and Caesar's Legion and new states and small regional organizations trying to fill the gap left by the fall of the organized states (mainly in huge continental countries like United States, Russia, India, Brazil, China etc)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oXpc-59Cdo
Everyone turning into a scotsman

i say an animal take over, like all the animals breaking out of zoos n wild animals roaming around everywhere like the movie 12 monkeys (great movie btw) something different not the typical zombies, economic collapse, etc.

Economic Collapse would be the most interesting, and probably the most realistic at the same time. It could very likely lead to wars between States, and civil war/heavy instability within a State (one just has to look at the current political crisis in the EuroZone). Third World countries would be hit first, with foreign aid being withdrawn, and an increase in famine/preventable disease related deaths.

While causing widespread devastation, and would be one of the most plausible "apocalypses", I don't think it would be able to cause a viable threat to humanity, unlike a nuclear war scenario. So while likely, it would be less of a challenge for humanity.

I would say third world countries already live an apocalyptic scenario.

There's economic crisis everywhere. Famine, unemployment, diseases, drug lords, failed governments, civil unrest and all of that. Like most parts of Mexico, Central and South America.

Fucking native mesoamericans had their own apocalypse when Spain invaded and everything they knew and loved disappeared.

When SHTF in the so called developed nations, they will barely give a fuck about it.

Intergalactic war of attrition, or just invasion cause I won't see the first.

Earth destroys itself rather than man destroy earth

Thats what i would want

>>7682
i like that idea... perhaps the earth begins to collapse upon itself from over harvesting or a massive seismic trauma. your thoughts?

i want horror movie zombies

you know the ones that don't die of starvation or old age...

seems like a challenge

but an invasion by an opposing nation would be pretty cool, i've always wanted to experience being an isurgent, also i love the sound of civil defence sirens

>>8948

>I've always wanted to experience being an insurgent

There will be a volunteer drive in your area shortly. Bring your own weapons and equipment as they are likely not to be issued in all garrisons; no doorknobs in pillowcases please. Those who retreat without orders to do so will be considered guilty of treason and will be treated accordingly at the earliest convince of the nearest patriot.

Await contact from a local militia representative for further details on sign up locations in your district.

>>7660

I think the most likely post Apocalyptic situation is that exactly. Once the economy turns over in America (as it's already starting to in Europe) then China is going to lose a majority of it's exports thus putting all three superpowers into poverty.

Over the past decades, Overpopulation lead to Overconsumption. Overconsumption lead to Overproduction. Overproduction lead to shit tons of money and megacorporations rising. With the economy destroyed there will be less money for the companies to work for, less production, less consumption and... can you guess the last step? Famine is going to happen. Famine and Bloodshed. All because idiots couldn't keep their dicks in their pants and not have 40 fucking children and build a shit ton of cities where there didn't need to be any cities. God I hate humanity. So eventually everybody is going to starve nice and slow, except maybe the super rich but they'll be worthless soon enough. Eventually the entire world turns into Detroit. The End.

I hope you guys are prepared for that shit.

I vote for alien invasion because if we do somehow manage to beat them imagine the technology we would have at our disposal. It would be like stepping 500 hundred years into the future once the smoke clears and I get to rape alium corpses.

>>6520

From a chances of survival/leading some semblance of a fulfilling life perspective? Economic collapse.

For fun/exciting, alien invasion. Though I'm assuming a Falling Skies scenario here, not one where things are beyond hopeless.

>>6520
My favorite way is the entire financial system being called into question and doubted as all paper assets degrade themselves to be more worthless than toilet paper. Meanwhile 7 billion people consume resources at an insane level to the point where countries like Pakistan, India, China, UK and the USA have problems maintaining the basics for electrical generation.

As the by product to this is the entire fabric of society reassesses what is truely that important. First thing to go is medical establishments. It is determined that if people are going to die of cancer, heart attacks, bowel obstructions, what have you....they are going to die from it.

Nurses and doctors are first against the wall. The Bankers pull the soldiers finger. Soldiers are then poisoned by their medical staff.

Game over.

This thread was featured in the July 10th edition of 420chan Today over on /b/. Thanks for being awesome.

Your friend, Ron /B/urgundy

>>8956
This, over and over.

As for myself, I would fancy a Zombie Apocalypse, especially if they were slow-moving. My friend and I will plan it out all the time. Every time starting from different places where we are. For instance,

>Smoking a cig on my upstairs porch
>Friend inquires, "What about zombs, omg..."
>Plan is already down.

Go inside and grab weapons, get the stairs down. Anyway possible, probably with my car if better car is around. My car's a piece of shit. Climb back up, zombie infection is probably getting pretty bad by now in other places. Grab gear and clothes, dry foods, our tent, shit like that. Basically quickly packing for a long-term camping trip. Whilst we're packing, call other friends, relatives, agree on a bug-out point or at least let them know there are fucking zombies and you're cutting out. Depending on severity, cars might not be an option, therefore we keep ALL ESSENTIALS on us. So if we have to cut out of a car, we have everything on us. If we decide to hoof it and go back through the water systems and fields and shit, we can drop all the camping shit and whatnot on the ground and leave it. But the main objective would be to mass capable allies and surviving. That's right, somebody's going to have to take care of the dead, and I haven't trusted the Government to do shit since day one. Most likely, if zombies happen, it's game over, so why not dive headlong into it? And on the off-chance we are able to mass allies, maybe find other allies, maybe not destroy ourselves in the meantime, like Drake Equation shit. If everything was to defy Murphy's Law, we would end up with a naturally selected team/unit. And we just kicked a bunch of zombie ass!!! Yeah! Sorry... lol

This is my first time to /fo/. I like it, I hope 420chan keeps it.

Everything you listed has already happened. Meh. There needs to be something new, whatever that may be. Space field collapse, maybe? The end of time when the explosion gets too big? Eh... that'll happen long after we're gone though.

BRING ON THE NUKES!

Initially, it would be hard to get by, but, the nukes would clear out TONS of people. If you were one of the few survivors, it wouldn't be too hard to get at the few valuable resources left.

Also, nukes would probably only hit major population centers. So any place you go to search for food and materials would be fairly intact.

There is the whole "nuclear winter," and left over radiation to deal with though.

Economic collapse, because I am really interested to see what would happen, to be honest if I could push a button and send the world into economic collapse right now I would.
Or zombie infection, because zombies.

>Nuclear

Where zombies would be a side effect too

Slow Zombies.

Or WWIII insurgency.

Preferably zombies, though. Preferably global and apocalyptic in scale.

>>6533
"Muslim invasion= I`d move further up north, they hate the cold.
My sides :D

>>7660
Oh come on, that kind of thing only happens in sub-saharan Africa. Yes, there is violence on some parts of Central America, but most people in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, etc. have a job and no one is actually starving.

Have you guys played Stalker?? Thats how I want the world to end

>>9816
I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe. It's like an apocalypse in a bottle. I don't know if I could handle bloodsuckers and controllers though, they creep the shit out of me.

...I definitely prefer economic collapse mainly because it would cause so much political upheaval. It would be a great time to get wealthy off of illicit endeavors. For instance, if a government enforced martial law, then you know people would rebel against it and they would need weapons to do so. All you would need to do is lurk around troop movement and scavenge for wares immediately following a gunfight right before the winning side sweeps things up. It would be tricky not getting caught since you would need to work under an extremely short time frame, but that's part of the thrill.

I like the idea of economic collapse cause honestly It seems Uber likely

Economic Collapse is the most likely and afterwards we would get a system that actually worked so that would be cool.

Zombies would be interesting and sickeningly kinda fun but I would be fucking scared to become one.

My personal vote is for Hell to open up because then the Angels and the ascended alien species would come down and fight the demons. It would be so badass you wouldn't even believe it. And then once the Angels won, (because seriously, they've got God on their side) we would ourselves become an ascended race of interdimensional beings yo!

Definitely not zombies, is anyone else fucking sick of zombies?

>>9934

Nope

I imagine the world going up in fire like in a Wagnerian opera. No end-time scenario is as dramatic or as poetic as manmade warfare.
The first World War approaches being a century old. That war and the subsequent one changed warfare and civilization, along with the state of the human race, forever. It was a war for the fate of the species and of the planet, and it ended with the creation of a weapon capable of annihilating all that is.

Imagine how epic the third and last World War would be.

>>10026
we're in the third world war, brother. it's called overpopulation.
