Imagine you had 72 hours before everything collapses. How would you spend that time? Would you stockpile supplies? Would you focus on warning as many people as possible? Would you try to preserve knowledge, like books, hard drives, download internet archives, etc.? Would you collect music or history?

    I mean, it depends heavily on the type of apocalypse.

    Meteor strike? I’ll just enjoy the next three days. It’ll likely wipe out any chance anyone has of survival.

    Zombies? Yeah, I’d probably try and survive and group up with some of my better equipped friends.

    Global nuclear war? I’ll just off myself. I don’t want to even exist in that scenario.

    Get all the grocery shopping done early and then sit back and watch the show unfold.

    I’m disabled and lack community. I would do art until I succumb to the fate the eugenicists who designed my environment and society have arranged for me.

    Rent an isolated cabin far out in the woods, buy anything I can think of that would help me last indefinitely out there, get enough supplies for the short term, then pack it all in the truck and gtfo with my cat in the passenger seat.

    sorry I’m already fully booked on Thursday. Friday is really a no and I have a bbq during the weekend. Can we move to early next week? Happy to touch base to find common ground and unleash synergies.

    I mean, people seem to think the apocalypse would be survivable, but that’s not how I understand it.

    But for an impending survivable disaster, I’d get supplies and weapons and head to somewhere remote.

      To me, to even qualify as an apocalypse, it has to take out 99.9%+ of the population, and make extendedly staying alive stupidly difficult (and maybe even impossible) for anyone who “lucked into” surviving whatever it was that killed almost everyone else.

      So it’s one of those things that is going to be hard to prep for with months and months of notice, let alone three measly days.

    What do you know?

    WHAT DO TOU KNOW?

    Also, I already have my own little library so I’m set on that end. I probably would just get get blitzed and enjoy myself with my husband those last three days.

    I have books on everything from “doctoring where there is no doctor” to scavenging the local area to encyclopedias, etc.

    My library is for the survivors. I harbor no delusion that I am likely to be among them. (And, in the mean time, I just like books.)

    Depends on the apocalypse.

    Nuclear? Get a nice tan in the radiation (or Ideally blast zone).

    Zombie or a virus? Probably just die. No way I want to live through a zombie apocalypse and the virus would probably be painful.

    I don’t know why anyone would want to live through an apocalypse. It’s bound to be hell.
