What if you were the last person on Earth? Things like the internet and electricity only remain for a week. No zombie apocalypse shit.
It's a fucking interesting question, right? Have you ever thought about it? First day, I'd go on the internet (since it's still there for a week) and research on solar panels (harnessing solar energy), transportation (how to fly planes, drive a boat, etc.; to get me around), and beautiful places/sites to see. I'd archive all that information and save it. Then I'd go out and get me a GTR from the nearest Nissan dealership, go to the Best Buy right next to it and get a bunch of movies and a high-def camera. With this HD cam, I'd record my everyday life. Then I'd go to the West Covina Library and get a bunch of books that would be relevant to me and my journey.
Then I'd make my way up north for San Francisco. SF is a beautiful city. Even without the hustle and bustle, SF would still be amazing. It's one of the places I've always wanted to go to. I would marvel at how beautiful the city is. I think the novelty of freedom would still be fun. Then eventually loneliness would pursue. I know eventually I'd get bored of being lonely. Even if I had animals to interact with. I would try to repopulate/clone. But after I get bored of traveling, my second instinct is to find a way to travel onto the Moon and utilize technology from Nasa in order to communicate with extraterrestrial life. If I don't find anyone within a decade, I'd soon get bored and lonely. Then at that point, I'd probably commit painless suicide by taking a bunch of pills.
This scenario kinda puts things into perspective. There are an infinite combinations of parallel galaxies. Imagine one where one day everything is normal, then suddenly, you become the last person on Earth. Sometimes when we want to withdraw from society, we hate society. But society is great, human interaction advances everyone. Simply communicating and talking to others helps further mankind.
So next time when you decide to be all emo and withdraw from society, remember to be thankful for society. Because you'd rather hate people than be lonely.
