Play with guns.

Realistically? Maybe learn how to farm and do stuff on my own so I can survive. Maybe try and clone a female to procreate with.

I'd still pay with guns, Heavy Machinery and Explosives though

you have probably watched Aftermath Population Zero.

Train Primates

Basically they're next in line to take over..

In that line of thought, I'd blow up the statue of liberty and reenact this scene;

Never even heard of it mate

Get up, walk the dog.

Probably go insane...

...-er.

Cry until I starve to death or put a bullet in my head. Life without other people is no life at all.

Assuming everything is still functional I'd go to dealerships and drive all kinds of expensive cars. Can't really leave America as I can't fly. Good luck using a boat bug enough to make that trip on your own.

Probably go see some sights I never got to. Prepare for a long lonely life. Unless what killed everyone is still around. Then go hunt because why not.

That would be awesome. I'd commandeer the largest boat I could pilot by myself. Perhaps some kind of military craft, but it definitely needs room for a helicopter. Then I would go traveling around the Earth. I'd visit all the places that are too dangerous to go to now, because they're full of rebels and fethtards. South America, Africa, Russia, I'd go see the ruins of Babylon in Iraq. Climb the pyramids, I'd go paragliding off the World Trade Centre. I'd take a piss off that big hotel in North Korea. I'd dig up the tomb on top of Knocknarea in Ireland and find out WTF's buried there. I'd excavate the mausoleum of the first Qin Emperor in China. I'd go snooping in the Pentagon and find out who shot JFK, and where the alien ships are hidden. I'd use the Hubble telescope to take a selfie.

When I'm done having fun, I'd live out the rest of my days perfecting my own race of self replicating robots, with some basic Darwinian algorithm for improving themselves every generation and a mission to conquer the galaxy. Oh yeah, and possibly resurrect me after they've reached a sufficiently advanced level of technology. I have faith in those guys!

A guy made it across the Atlantic in a boat 5 foot long, lots of people do the trip solo in yachts.

Learn as much about medicine, human and veterinary, as possible and build a reference library.
Hook a generator up so I could have electricity
Modify my workouts to lessen chance of injury
Set up some serious food storage
Do a crapton of exploration
Work on a monument
Release as many animals from confinement as possible
Play it by ear for the rest

Probably eat myself to death.


Otherwise, I'd love to steal an oil tanker and crash it into something. Mayhbe I'll walk into military base and play a real life game of defcon.

Yeah, without my wife and son, let alone anyone else I care about, what's the point of living?

ok, how about for a year you get the world to yourself, and aftervthat, it's back to normal

I guess I would read, draw and assemble models as long as the light and power hold out. And walk the dog without a leash.

Find a Wilson Sporting Goods Volleyball.

Start with a cool car (just because I can), go brake in to the local gun shop, get a few guns (A 22lr and a 12 bore shotgun should do. Possibly 2 of each for redundancy's sake), all the ammunition I could, get a multi channel radio, take my big ass wood chopping axe and start driving. Just keep driving and looking for any other people as I could not believe I was the last human left.

Fill up my car, keep the ammo filled up and my eye in with the guns, carry a few days food. Keep swapping cars as I needed and just keep going.

A working car, a tank full of petrol, a gun for protection and food in an emergency, just in case I come across any hostile people or animals, and an axe to brake locks. I should be able to pick anything else up as I go. Oh, and a few bits like first aid kit and come spare clothes.

Die of radiation posioning.

All those untended nuclear power stations, and worse cold sotrage pits need coolant. automated systems will not last long without maintenance.

So, to try and stop this. Each step being fraught with danger.

1. Learn to fly, the hard way.
2. Travel to a nuclear power station go to the exrternal offices and read up on how to shut it down safely. There will be safety manuals.
Once I know what I am doing shut it down.
3. Travel the word shutting down nuclear power stations and
making sure piles are cold buried.

i reckon one man could do this, its a mission to save the biosphere and therefore a motive to keep going.

If I survive this mission, I will find some ancient basalt cliffs and build a camp next to them with a lifetimes supply of whatever I need.

there when not playing computer games on my solar powered PC I will be chiseling out deep pictoglyphs on the rock face, deep enough that they will likely still be there when the next sapient race evolves. I will also dip household objects and photos in amber and bury them on site beneath a large arrow chiseled in the rock.
By the time something finds them the power stations will be inert.

Those two missions would give me purpose in life to carry on, not for humanity, but for the planet. I doubt i will last that long, but its a goal.

I'd probably go insane.
Heck I already basically do that anyway when I'm home alone for a day... (I tell you, dem strange noises about be ghosts 'n stuff!)

Of course while insane, assuming I'm not rocking in a corner gibbering over some half-imagined fear, I'd probably try to break into the nearest Med or Science lab and play around with chemicals, or crash cars into houses.

Then eventually die because I'd eventually get stuck in said cars, or touch dangerous chemicals without realising.
That or eventually starve or eat some toxic berry... with me being the last person left and all that I'd run out of fresh food, and there'd be now power with which to cook tins of spaghetti with...

If the last person was female and had access to a few sperm banks and kept the power running there is enough genetic diversity there to repopulate the earth over time, assuming she had daughters that is.

First of all, I'd get a large car a pickup or something, go to the library and get useful books on farming and butchery plus whatever is interesting there.

Find a farm with cows chickens and pigs and vegetables of some sort and try and keep them from dying. Then spend the next few weeks collecting diesel,generators and farming equipment and taking it back to the farm oh and tinned food. I'd probably find shotguns and ammo at a farm which would be useful if threatening animals are around. Possibly see if solar panels on the houses can be setup to charge some large batteries probably the batteries would be found in a ship.

Collect various electronics to keep me occupied.

Eventually I'd have to risk everything and go to America and try and find where Patrick Rothfuss lived, somewhere in Wisconsin, and track down his house. Then I'd try and find the manuscript for the last book of the King Killer Chronicles "The Doors of Stone" because I MUST KNOW HOW THAT SERIES ENDS OR I'LL GO MAD!

How many though, if they become the last person on Earth tomorrow. Will die a virgin

Nope, although I think if everyone did die I'd still have to keep paying for my Virgin Media broadband :(

Collect all the gold I can and start hammering them into plates.

Start writing as much down as I can with lots of pictures.

Hopefully the next sentient lifeforms find it.

Being a true Aquarian, I enjoy solitude more than most.

Live in White House.
With my fleet of "reclaimed" cars
Walk into nearby gamestops and yoink everything to take home.
Eventually search off limits govt buildings
Find evidence of alien contact
Start chatting it up with them.

"Some people just want to watch the world burn. "
-Frazzled, lighting a zippo.

Got to clear the way for cochroaches somehow. I for one welcome our new six leg overlords and would speak harshly about any nattering nabobs who disagree.

I imagine just opening up a Government laptop and having a Skype conversation pop up:

Agent #J562: "BRB, nuclear apocalypse. LOL!"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "stay safe. <3"
Agent #J562: "I'll try. ; )"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "u back yet?"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "how was the apocalypse?"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "hey"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "hi"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "u there? need 2 talk to u. : ("
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "hey"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "r you mad @ me?"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "im sorry, J562"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "was it the nudes?"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "i just thought youd like them"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "j?"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "FINE U FILKING SON WHORE BITCH I ALWAYS THORT U WERE UGLY I ONLY TALKED 2 U SO I COULD ABDUCT U L8R I HOPE U DYED IN A FIRE U USELESS UGLY RAT ARSE WHORE!!!!!!!!!"
Zoofle'gzorp of Nemisin IV: "call me back pls"

I'd probably be glad I finally have time to catch up on my reading, just before I break my eyeglasses.

I was thinking about referring to that Twilight Zone episode...

Literally. If you are the absolutely last person alive (assuming no nuclear disasters or yucky corpses appear) what would you do? I myself would:

Learn to drive a car
Get those 40K models I've always wanted
Get a gun and try shooting a little
Destroy a house (a weird dream if mine)
Go biking across Europe

You know you can do all of those without being the last person on earth, right?

Jump in and out of a gin and tonic.

Or at least, jump in and out of a lake that thought it was a gin and tonic.
