Subject: If YOU were the last person on Earth, what would you do?
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
It's a time loop sure, but basically the same thing. Last person on earth, do whatever you damn well please XD
Personally, first thing I'd do is go the nearest gun shop, get all the guns and ammo, and just have fun shooting gak (after I learned how to shoot that is lol) XD

With nobody to play with, or to show them the painting, or anything?
I would play solo video games to death. Or at least until the power goes out.

Subject: If YOU were the last person on Earth, what would you do?
I'm pretty sure if all is still intact, I have (or can learn faaaaaiiirly easily) the skills required to clone other humans. gak. I'd need a surrogate womb.
I wonder if we could clone humans through a chimp surrogate?
Okay. Step 1 is find out where the nearest laboratory with the kind of samples and reagents I need in deep freeze is and head there as fast as possible to maintain the deep freeze with a generator or whatever temporarily in expectation that the power grid will go down pretty fast without human help.
Then off to wherever the nearest place that has chimps. A zoo maybe? This will be difficult and risky, but I'll need a fair number of chimps if this is going to work, and I'm not sure where chimp research even happens near me...probably an AIDS research lab? But they tend to use Rhesus Macaques rather than chimps. Still.
Okay, step three is maintaining the infastructure and attempting to produce a population of somewhat genetically diverse clones. Of course, it's entirely possible that the clones cannot be carried to term in chimp surrogates. Also, as time goes on exhaustion will take it's toll on me, and I will probably fail to keep things running as they need to, so I expect I will fail horribly to clone new humans before I die due to misadventure or having my arms ripped off by a pissed off chimp.
Plus as a lab scientist I'm pretty sloppy anyway, so even assuming I get things running, I'll probably screw up the cloning somehow and end up with lots of unviable chimp pregnancies....
Oh man. This is almost definitely going to lead to clone surrogates at a fairly early stage to try and up the success rate...

This is what I was thinking too, I hate being lonely.

Search through everyones houses and belongings to:
See what they have been up to and look through their stuff
Free their pets so they dont all die noisily around me
Wonder whats going on
Attempt to clone a new female to take my olds ones place
Rewrite history so that I sound more amazing to my offspring
After centuries I will be the sole ancestor of humanity and I will be forever be remembered as the guy who saved humans and did other awesome stuff.
I would also spend time getting really buff so my future statue is more impressive.

I'm 13 years old.
And you can still do all those without being the last person on earth. You just can't do them all yet.

pee in your tub then get guns and traps all around my house.because what ever took everyone else out... seems like it wants to get all of us and atleast they will get a cap in the ass before they get me.
I need to go to work every day.
Millions of people on welfare depend on me.

Step Three: Figure out a way to induce non-recombinant haploid progeny cells. Isolate two X lines and combine them.
Step Four: Extract genome from egg and implant somatic DNA.
Step Five: Fast clone a female version of myself and establish my own strain of the human race, calling it Homo Arstinian, while becoming the most perfect narcissist in the history of the world.
Step Six: Victory.

I mean...the only real answer to this is go do everything you've ever wanted to do that you can do alone. Then kill yourself, because life alone would get really boring. Do you really want to go Into the Wild and die alone writing a book that nobody will ever read?
Other option is maybe find a dog to befriend and live life like that. You don't necessarily need a human companion.
