To think im not made to survive

[Mammyloveswine]

I love a disaster film (dont judge me) but omg in real life id be shit..Reasons here:

I cant drive so wouldnt be able to make my escape...

I wear contacts so in a plane crash/boat capsize id be blind...

I have zero upper body strength to cling on to a building....

And as for this... m.youtube.com/watch?v=xITzTrFFopQ i could NOT throw my kids over a roof 😱😱😱😱😱

Please reassure me im not the only one?

[quote HalfShrunkMoreToGo]@MrsTerryPratchett have you seen the app Run zombie run?

It's one of those where you have to pay for extra content but the free bit is fun for a while. It's an interval jogging timer and when it's time to run you have sound effects of zombies coming after you and people screaming 😂[/quote]
I love that app! Just wish the free version was better, I'm not paying to be freaked out.

Haha I'm heavily Asthmatic, so I couldn't run to save my life. No upper body strength and my anxiety would turn me into an absolute state.
I'd literally be the first one dead lol.

I don’t think non drivers have to worry - without any traffic, I reckon anyone could have a reasonable stab at driving an electric car. It’s an upscaled bumper car!

Is there such a thing as a Zombie vegetarian ?

@Phlewf

Yes the same programme.
I watched both of those. Neither had done the activity they excelled at.

Looks like it was called hidden talents
(Maybe feats of memory is my skill??)

I can’t find it either but got this

www.britishfreediving.org/emma-farrell-to-appear-in-in-channel-4s-hidden-talent/

This is just the climb
For both of them they fitted heart rate monitors and found the further they went the more relaxed they became!

Sorry I’ll stop posting about this show after this
I remember the interactive quiz.

I have excellent upper body strength from pole fitness so could shimmy up a lamppost to escape the zombies. Not sure what my next move would be though.

I need my sleep too much so there’s no way I could take my turn at keeping watch. I’d be snoring my head off in seconds. I could drive the getaway truck though, careening through hoards of zombies scattering them all over is right up my street.

@Rummikub I don’t want to get all weird and I don’t how you feel about soul mates but I love you a little bit. If at any point future you can ask me for a favour no questions asked and I’ll certainly throw myself in front of a zombie for you.

Perhaps do a course in Camouflage?
At least in some situations (e.g. Zombies, Shark attack etc.) you could hide as a bundle of sticks or a piece of driftwood.

As for throwing kids over a roof - you could practice here (no sniggering)

It’s fab to share a mutual love!

[quote MrsTerryPratchett]@HardbackWriter I've heard that about you [/quote]
It's on the spreadsheet, innit? @HardbackWriter 'hidey-bitey typie'

I once made some chutney instead of throwing some manky old apples away. If I could rustle up some cheese we'd be ok for a tasty supper. That was keep our energy up, for a day at least.

I can't run, I can energetically skip which makes my three year old granddaughter howl with laughter so maybe it would confuse zombies long enough so I could make my escape......skipping my way to freedom.

Skipping would really confuse the zombies, I can just see their puzzled zombie faces now. If we had the treadmills suggested up thread and then skipping in shifts, I'm sure that would keep the doors clear.

SEE SO-CALLED PALS? I'M WORTH SAVING!

I'm not sure how I'd react. I'm good in a crisis usually but I have diagnosed anxiety so in day to day life I worry a lot. I couldn't outrun anyone or anything. I'm pinning my hopes on being fat so having plenty of reserves (although I turn into a monster when hungry). I saw a documentary years ago where a sailor managed to swim ashore against all odds after a shipwreck. They reckon he survived because he was fat.

Don't think I'd fare too well - I'm fat and out of shape. Also completely helpless without my glasses. But I'm decent at butchery and live on the edge of the moors, so if I could get away from the zombie carnage and find a little bolthole in the middle of nowhere I might just see out the worst of it...

I realised long ago I'd never survive armageddon whatever form it took. I think the best I could manage zombie apocalypse wise, would be to distract the zombies, mostly by getting eaten, while my DC ran for it.

Climate disaster or plague or alien invasion, driving DC to a remote hopefully safeish location before my medication ran out or the plague got me or the aliens captured me and I died is the best outcome I could hope for.

Asthmatic, fat and wear glasses. Not looking so good!

However, if I survived the initial onslaught, I can knit, am pretty good with building stuff, and have a strong working knowledge of home remedies and herbs/healing. First aid trained too...?

I can't drive, run, fight, climb or outsmart anyone But I'm good at staying silent so I'd be good at a Quiet Place type scenario.

@Solo

If everyone got together, we could put the skills we do have to good use so we could all survive.

I'll make the clothing out of knitted grass and stitched together tree bark. I can't kill animals, but I can cook. I think I can remember how to filter water.

Anyone want to team up?

I could probs kill a chicken or fish if it came to it... wouldnt be able to see though...

Anyone seen the film skyscraper? With The Rock? Its my favourite ridiculous disaster film...he uses his prosthetic leg to climb back up the outside of the worlds tallest skyscraper...

After going through a pandemic don’t worry half the world won’t believe a disaster is happening 🤷‍♀️

I’d be rubbish too. I’ve already decided that in a zombie apocalypse, it’s just give myself over to the zombies and start my new life as a zombie. I couldn’t be arsed with the constant running and hiding and being scared.

It's the random little things that get me. I'm still haunted by the scene in Castaway where he knocks his own tooth out with a rock. I just don't think I could do that. I haven't watched 127 hours for the same reason - it would freak me out too much, as I know I wouldn't be able to do the same if I were in that situation. Brrr!
