An AR15 and a lifetime of video game experience will get me through the apocalypse right? Right?!?!?
What happened a million times to YOU in these games?
Good point, best to load a previous save.
I am once again asking for your soup
My plan for all end of the world scenarios is the same. Imma blow my fucking brains out because im not even going to try to deal with that.
If it's nuclear Armageddon, that won't be necessary. Just get to the highest place you can quickly and watch the show.
Run towards the bomb
Honestly this, if you are at drop sight death is immediate. Worst is on thebout edge where your body slowly melts from radiation exposure. Fun times.
As an avid camper, my YT suggestions are filled with "prepper" vids, and that's really helped in planning everything out. I now keep a little vial of cyanide ready, because I am NOT dealing with those aholes.
I downloaded a shit ton of technical, survival, medicinal, herbal, and even the DSM -5 (cause mental health is important too when everything around you is crumbling ) books.
Why digital you ask ? Well, all these book aren't available where i live and also because generating electricity isn't a problem anymore with solar and it allow to create a lot of accurate copies of each book later to share with the survivors.
Making a generator isn't really too hard either. Wrap some copper around a magnet and spin the magnet.
Am not very knowledgeable about these kinds of stuff but isn't the hardest part is to output a stable voltage. I don't even know how and if you can store such fluctuating energy.
I'm not sure... I'm not a magnetist... But I've seen them manually dial the stargate by wrapping some copper wire around it. So how hard can it be?
I’m not a magnetist
Yeah, we can tell. Magnetician or magentologist, you philistine.
The study of magenta.
Idk if a stable output is necessary to charge a battery. They make flashlights and other small things with simple generators you power by shaking, which charges the battery that runs the light.
I've never taken one apart to see what else is going on, but I'd sure like to.
yea, they usually have a rectifier in it. All that is usually is a configuration of four diodes(a component that only lets current flow one direction) so it can take the alternating current(AC) and convert it to direct current(DC) and then a large capacitor to stabilize the rectified voltage.

Just buy 2 steam powered generators that can burn coal. If you are really concerned. You can always find something to burn. Get two that way when one breaks you can use the other.
I stopped prepping long ago. I was freaked out by a pandemic way before 2020 and all my supplies were exhausted within a month. The only real way to prepare for the end of civilization and still have civilization is to have an entire backup civilization. Which none of us have the resources to do.
Am not really a prepper. The extreme tansion during the start of Ukraine invasion made me a bit paranoid about a third world war/nuclear war. Add to that that my niece was born not long after so i got even more paranoid and decided to see if it was possible to survive such events.
Prepping can buy you some time but it's useless unless you have a bunker hidden somewhere until dust settles down and the population has thinned itself enough you can go scavenging far less dangerously (geuss what the rich people are doing !) then knowledge about everything is gonna be key to survive longer.
For us plebeians , it's a gonna be a fight for survival and considering how it's already a jungle where it's eat or be eaten where i live the only way to survive would be by gathering into a large enough tribe, find a a secure location with only one entrance like a cave or something to settle in, never stop checking for intruders and becoming literal psychopathic monsters and kill, loot everything that approach your camp location .
I don't have much faith in humanity and the more i read about how humans treat(ed) each other's the more i rather have a cyanide pill instead of surviving.

I keep asking chatgpt when the Purge is, where can I see Shirley Jackson type lotteries, or can I challenge people to thunderdome
Chatgpt keeps telling me that those are fictional as of it's knowledge cutoff.

I'm ready to start a new internet
But this one already has blackjack and hookers.
I wish I had plans for "the fall"
Living around the equator means we don't get autumn here.....
Fall, since the collapse of autumn, being the only option that's left.
My government is more functional than the US one it seems, So i'm in all the right to expect and demand that the state deals with it, it does have a lot of experience tough... chile's topography is as dangerous as Australia's flora and fauna, Chile indeed is natural disaster land.
