What Would You Do If You Were The Last Person On Earth and Where Would You Live?

[Elisabeth1985]

I’d probably live at the White House probably stop caring about my appearance.

Also possibly set a bomb off somewhere.

I'd find a nice big house on the edge of town somewhere. Close enough to go raid for extra food. Try to pull in solar panels and batteries for electricity. (hopefully not shock my ass to death figuring it out). Will get very lonely I'm sure, so will need a dog or three.

Some peaceful

[pervertedjester]

I'd live somewhere different everyday and verify Bieber, Schumer and a few other celebs were truly dead. Then if I die in old age, set the planet to explode after I die. No space looters, we go out on our own terms.

[melanieeeB]

I would go around the world and mess with stuff

[zeitgeist057]

First, gear + animal companion

First thing would be to suss out some resources: get food, weapons, tools, medical supplies, clothing, etc all together. Next of course, I would need an animal companion (s). Probably a dog or pack of dogs, depending on how well I could keep them fed and trained.

Next would be transportation. Ideally, I'm going to look for a decent sized catamaran that I can sail around on and has enough space.

But first I'd have to find it, so I would need a land vehicle of some sort, maybe a truck and trailer, or a van or something. Depends on what the fuel/electricity situation was in this LPOE scenario. Obviously fuel and electricity don't just magically keep running forever without anyone running things. So I would need to learn about those systems and how to fire them up or keep them running. Maybe I would live in or near a library for a while.

Once I had my resources situation on lock, there would be many adventures I'd like to undertake:

1. Cruising by catamaran to various locations, just to see wildlife and visit the empty cities of humans. I would probably mostly stay around the equator, and/or sail around the whole world. Though I would have to figure out in advance if the locks/canals at Egypt and Panama could be navigated/operated by one person all alone, or if I would have to sail around the great capes. I might make it a side mission to collect rare seeds, animals, and books.

2. Farming/animal husbandry: It would be nice to have a wide variety of foods to eat, so I would like to stop someplace where I could start a garden with a wide variety of options (probably a warmer climate, or perhaps a cooler one but with a large greenhouse). I would also like to raise domestic animals but not for food, I would prefer to hunt for those animals and keep my domestic animals as friends. I would definitely still eat eggs, milk (and make cheese), and honey.

3. Learning to fly airplanes: assuming there was fuel for them. This would be a great skill to have.

4. Learning in general: I would have no one to interact with, so I would probably hoard books a lot or be set up near a major library. Practice playing instruments and singing, since if I don't, there will be no live music on the planet ever again. Exercising, building, crafting, etc. There will be no doctors, architects, engineers, scientists, etc, only me so if I don't know how to do it, it won't get done.

[SkyCastle90]

If the world is not post apocalyptic, and everyone just died off from like a virus or something, then I would:

Go to the library. Read a lot of books on hunting/fishing/farming/water filtration/solar power/home repairs/etc and I would try my best to learn as much medicine as I can from different categories. Then go stores and just take as much hunting gear as I need.

Once I found a big house with a good amount of land, I'll get to work making a small, manageable farm/garden, nothing big that will require heavy lifting/etc. Also, I'll try to restore power to small medical centers.

Once food and water/electricity/etc aren't an issue, I'll probably try to restore the population a little by going to a fertility center and start testing IVF on myself as best as I can. That way, more people are born not biologically my own and from different genetic backgrounds. If by some miracle it works and I make it through the births with little to no complications, I'll raise a family, then have the daughters do IVF when of age if there aren't enough boys.

Now if the world is post apocalyptic, I'll just think about surviving only.

[Dragonpurple]

I would learn to have very good conversations with myself, as there is no one else to talk to. Besides its not crazy if no one is around to say it is right?

I would travel as much as possible to see the sights, before gasoline got too old and became useless. This of course would mean staying on my own continent unless I wanted to take a chance at flying a plane with no experience or a boat/ship across an ocean.

I would expect power to go out in a matter of days, and have to learn to purify water myself and either grow food eventually, or live off canned food for awhile.

[MoJoYoYo]

I would find as much gas as I could and go on a massive road trip to wherever I liked to. I wouldn't live in one place. Maybe I'd end up finding someone! :) Also, I want to have a pilot's license when I grow up, so maybe I'd just fly wherever I wanted to. However, I think I'd eventually come back to my home town and go up into the mountains and build a cabin and live up their. I would also make sure to collect lots of matches, guns, wool and warm cloths, skis, and ammo for when I live on the mountain. Also, tanning stuff so I could make my own cloths and stuff. Oh! And plenty of axes and sharpening stuff!

[TallAnon]

It would be insanely hard to travel much, so I wouldn't have much of a choice but to stay in this city. There should be enough canned food in random shops to last me a while. I would probably stay in a warehouse of something like amazon or walmart, perhaps near a zoo so I could kill animals for fresh meat once in a while. But that would take months to find to begin with if there's no internet or anything. If that stays running for a while, it would be easier and fridges would be a godsent. Otherwise I would have to store things underground.

[hahahmm]

I'd check historical weather reports and find a place that has had mild weather for most of the last 100 years. In that place I'd setup solar power and all the comforts of home.
Then I would start studying cloning and become a genius at it. Eventually I would start cloning people and teach them how to help me clone more people and how to take care of babies and whatnot.

Point is, I would not give up on humanity.

[Star_88]

On the most expensive and luxurious area of my city near the big hotels/restaurants.
Will literally eat everything from famous places.
Get all the dresses and materialistic things from big malls.
Ride the bike/Race car at the fullest speed on the empty roads and highway.

[Finchie40]

Explore the world as much as possible put myself into survival mode , and try to make the best of it , I would probably lose my mind so I would probably have a Wilson and talk to myself a lot or if animals still existed then I would take a pet with me

[Kayla45]

Probably won't travel a lot considering wild animals would be roaming free at this point, most likely some zoo animals that manage to escape as well.

Nah, I'd go to a millionaire's underground bunker and live there while occasionally venturing out for food and whatnot during the day while heavily armed with military armor and weapons.

[Raidernation01]

Lol the white house😂. Is that because you don't know of any other big homes in this country?

There's a pretty cool house out here where I live in Las Vegas That's actually a huge underground mansion. From the top it looks like a small house or barn But inside you have access to the mansion underneath. That's probably where I would live.

[Seangreen]

Well what I would probably try to do is relocate myself towards a climate that's warm year-round. I would probably also try to round up a large supply of psychoactive substances most of which would be illegal in most places right now and I would spend a lot of my days getting higher than a kite on whatever I had and if I'm the last person I'm probably going to have a lot of dope laying around

[dragoblack]

Depends on if the nuclear power plants explode from overheating and no maintenance. But if everything was fine i would learn as much skills as i could, craft what i want, travel around, find some self sustaining farms & live there for a while, go to the sea, maybe build an amphibious boat house... just live my life the way i want, since money & legal limitations wouldn't stop/prevent me from doing stuff

[Staximus]

If I was the last person on earth, of course I would want to live in some sweet castle, but I don't know how I would get to Europe. Probably just find somewhere I can survive living off the land, because all the power and water in the city is going to stop without people supplying the generating stations with fuel.

[ChrisMaster69]

Would love some place like Windsor Castle.

it has a large armoury, good medical facilities
its secure
has horses
there is a farm, pigs, chickens, dairy herd, etc
tons of deer
butchers

The thing to do is avoid travelling over much, you simply increase the chance of having an accident.

[Guardian45]

If I Were The Last Person On Earth, I would Live "off the grid"(or whatever is left of it!🤪) somewhere in a self-sustaining home, closer to nature! Or in a tiny home on a trailer. Teach myself self-sufficiency skills: survival, hunting, fishing, etc. while maintaining my mind with music, literature, movies, etc. NOT too dissimilar from those Tom Hanks movies!🤣🤪

[Heartache0405]

I’d probably live in Barnes and noble and read every book in the genre I’m interested in. And travel to every bookstore in search of new stories to read. That way I won’t feel alone. I’ll live in every story I read.

[Steve1071]

First I’d find a vehicle will fresh fuel in it and get far away from the closest Nuclear power plant cause those will go Fukushima with out people to keep water in the reactors to keep them cool. Then I’d find an abandoned nuclear missile silo they’re built very well they will survive thousands of years in my case I would only need 100 years if that to live in. Then look for as much none perishable food and then look for firearms and ammo for hunting.

[TwinkleLily5]

I would be so curious. I would explore the world to see how others lived and the different types of environments. I would do a lot of science experiments and also think of ways to repopulate the world.
