What would you do if everyone just dissapeared?

Was in a rather dull lecture and i was thinking about this, althought with a slightly perversed twist. I was think what i would do to the scrumptious girls is all the blokes disapeared apart from the hot girls. But then i was thinking that maybe it might just be a test and as i was unclothing one of them they would wake up and say WTF are you doing you weirdo, and then i would end up in jail or something.

between this and your voice over from another thread, you definitely need professional help.:D

and knobbing your twin sister in utero as well, seriously disturbed.

Just had a thought if everyone has disappeared there would be no bodies so less chance of disease...

True, but all the effluence and garbage, rotting food, dead pets, spread of insects and rodents.

If everyone just disappeared in an instant, Planes would fall from the sky, cars would crash, fires would start, massive damage from scenarios like these and others. The guy responsible for the containment in Nuclear, Chemical or Biological facilities disappears before setting long term safeguards. One good week of heavy rainfall and Dams which no longer have the ability to flush will break, massive flooding, tidal bores on major rivers would be uncontrolled, half of London would be underwater. Packs of Dogs, especially the large ones who were more able to escape from their homes would soon begin to starve and start scavenging, until the uncontrolled fires in the cities force them and the rodent population out into the surrounding area's.
Ships smashing into coastlines, explosions from all manner of things, Farm crops rotting in the fields, livestock roaming and turning feral. Road impassable because of abandoned vehicles, fires spreading amongst them from the ones which crashed when their drivers just disappeared. Automated systems in critical military and nuclear facilities shutting down over time, power stations going critical, you can on and on. The reality of such a thing are horrendous and almost unsurvivable in their own right. Even if you did get through all that and whatever I haven't thought of yet, you will probably die from tetanus or infection from the sprained ankle you got from running away from next doors starving rotty, when you were looking for food, after exhausting your own, or catching dysentry or Cholera from the standing water after the drainage system backs up due to blockages from the rubble caused by the 707 that fell out of the sky a few blocks away.
It sounds like so much fun. It would be more fun if only 90% of people were wiped out over a month or so, and the scenario is far different and has more leeway.

He sure does paint a picture.
 
Holy over dramatisation batman!!


Totally lol @ "Farm crops rotting in the fields, livestock roaming and turning feral"

I think you'll find livestock is about as feral as it ever gets, they are not trained to be pets PMSL
Crops will grow, drop their seeds and regrow in the correct season, nothing will be rotting in the fields, just simply carrying on with the cycle of life just the same as every other wild plant on the planet..

Oh and where is all this effluent coming from, everyone has vanished??
Everything else is and always has been, just like the proverbial bear.. ****ting in the woods.

This isn't the movies you know, cars don't burst into flames on impact..
power plants, gas plants WILL just go into shutdown, power and gas supply will ceace, no fires from there.
Half the planes in the sky are likely to be over water.
Why will London flood? the barrier was only built what 20 years ago?? I don't remember massive flooding and carnage before it was built (unless a freak storm / tidal surge hit)

Wheat crops turn to seed and then the remainder rots, ask any farmer about it.

http://sappk.wordpress.com/2009/05/23/farmers-helpless-as-crops-rot-in-conflict-areas/
or
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/ea...ns-farmers-wheat-crops-rot-in-the-fields.html (for example)

they would return to a wild state, but not immediately.

Livestock is Domesticated, not Feral. Feral pigs for example are called boars and are distinctly different from domesticated pigs, Sheep are the same. Example: http://www.jstor.org/pss/2386175, wouldnt fancy meeting a bunch of dairy cows that havent been milked for weeks, or the Bull roaming about etc.....

As for effluence, it wouldn't clear the drainage system for months, by which time the pumping stations and drainage system itself would probably be inoperable. The people disappeared all their waste up until that time did not.


But youre right, I was being over dramatic, but to survive you would have to think of every eventuality.

What sort of time scales are you thinking of though?

It sounds like you mean major problems will come about in a matter of weeks or months, which is why i think many take issue with your thinking, perhaps some of what you think will come to pass but you're focusing on possibilities, many of which are actually unlikely to be a problem to you in this situation, im sure bad stuff will be going on in the world but most of it will be far away and so won't affect you.

Well of course nature will take things back in time but we're talking over decades i suspect, the real problems will come if you're a bit stupid and hurt yourself while messing about somewhere or with something you really shouldn't, which i think based on peoples responses in this thread you can expect something to go wrong early on this way but for the more sensible ones they may end up living a long life, if a bit boring.

The main problem is the scenario of everyone suddenly disappearing, millions of people doing things like driving cars, operating heavy machinery, flying airliners, doing mundane things like cooking or drilling gas mains, repairing flood defences all those people suddenly gone. How much destruction do you think that would cause immediately or within a few days and weeks. Imagine, for example, how many airliners enter UK airspace at any given moment, suddenly there is no pilot, atc, anyone. Autopilots would only work until the fuel ran out, planes on approach do not have much fuel on them. Several thousand planes dropping out of the sky over a few hours is going to cause major problems all by itself.

So do you see my point, yes many problems, like natural encroachment are long term worries, but major infrastructure damage, out of control fires etc would be immediate.

In regards to the aviation comment, the planes are all in 'airways', which are basically motorways in the sky for planes... so all the crashed planes will be concentrated, and places away from airways and busy airports will be safe.
Places like london will obviously be riddled with downed aircraft, whereas everywhere else, bar a handful of places will be untouched.
 
This scenario would be perfect if there was a fit girl left alive :(


First things first, before survival techniques etc, I would go to take2's office and find DNF. :p


How long with planes last before they became unreliable due to no maintainance?

Do you know how many airports there are, every major city has at least one, also there are military, emergency, civil light aircraft.
When a plane falls from 30000ft, it can go almost anywhere, the radial area is immense. Either way, what about cars, lorries, buses etc, every major road would be a disaster area. Shipping would cause major ecological damage eventually. Just all the people running baths would cause flooding of property etc.
