Last Person on Earth

[Dante the Shinigami]

What would you do if you were the very last person on Earth? Write what you would do here.

[Dervish]

Try not to die, given that nobody is producing food, electricity, natural gas, clean water, and the like. You'd have to figure out how to be able to feed and shelter yourself while being able to identify potential food sources, as well as ones that are harmful, the behaviours of animals you are both trying to hunt as well as avoid being hunted by, learn how to start a fire without convenient tools like matches or lighters, and so on. It would be a depression, brutal existence that would not get any easier unless you were able to adapt and you were able to find something to fill the void of the lack of human companionship, something that we as a species have depended on since the very beginning.

[Dante the Shinigami]

Sweet. I failed to clarify this, but I was talking more about the psychological side of it. Like would you go to your dream vacation place, and stay there till you die. Ponder life's meaning as you gradually progress towards death? That sort of thing.

Broadcast "Earth is now owned by Kadaeux. Keep off the Lawn." Into space using the Seti arrays. Then do whatever I want until I get bored and attempt to set off the global nuclear arsenal.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Loot all the stores. Wear the most expensive things. Visit the most expensive restaurants. Then ponder about the meaning of life since nobody will be able to cook that expensive food for me. Probably die of hunger.

on a more psychological base - I'd be sad and depressed as hell because no girls would be around.

[Cayden Black]

I Am Legend.

Pretty much how most people would live when alone.

[Goldmarble]

Live until accident or suicide. Whichever comes first.

[Wayne]

Drink, smoke, experiment with different prescription and hardcore drugs, burn my neighbourhood, excrete my bodily wastes in the fanciest looking places and things I can find, go around town and find (or make) some guns and explosives, and just wreck shit until I end up getting myself killed.

[K-97]

LSD + MDMA + Cocaine + Heroin = Greatest Suicide Ever.

[Foster]

I"d probably figure out what killed everyone else, or die trying.

[Brovo]

Surround myself with pets and become the crazy cat ferret lady mate.

Though in all seriousness, I would probably crack and go completely insane after a few years and after having had my fun, killed myself before I would reach a venerable age. If I'm the last human on Earth, the species is doomed anyway.

[Holmishire]

I would probably go on a massive scavenge. Starting at my home, I would collect all my most valuable possessions, memories, photos, etc. Lots of paper for writing and drawing. Then I'd scavenge further and further out across the city, finding the things I'd need like food, large transport vehicles and fuel, generators to charge my electronics, spare electronics to store data. I'd find the houses of those I once knew, even if it takes months of searching, and collect photos and memorabilia of them. Boot up their electronics, collect data, photos, memories from them. All the while, drawing, sketching, writing. Recreating maps of the city, images of all the places. Animating on the computer. After a while, I might study some of the books from the naval base, drive a ferry to the mainland, to retrieve memories from one specific person. Locate government offices to track addresses and ease my search. Still drawing, writing, animating, collecting.

And across a period of years, animating memories. Recreating moments of my life with all the people I loved and missed. Making so much of it that I can forget some of my pieces and rediscover them later. Write dozens of novels, all the stories I've wanted to write and draw and dream. Collect and read hundreds of books.

Already, I have learned that I adapt well. I don't care when I am separated from the people I care about. I can bear solitude, though I of course prefer company. But my greatest regrets are always that I so easily let go. I stop caring about people, I forget why they meant so much to me. My greatest wish is that when I am separated from them, that I could be sad and miss them. And hopefully, after years of this rediscovery of myself and others, perhaps I can attain this perfect sadness and be at peace with myself.

[TheEvanCat]

Probably just a lot of masturbating. I mean, let's be realistic here.

[Vordak]

Kill everybody. MAAAAYHEM BLODD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

Though if sperm and egg banks are a thing, i'd raid the nearest medical library for info and try to make an army of bootleg humans. NEVAR GIV UP, because otherwise, life is pretty meaningless.

[Vortex]

Firstly survive. Then after a while after I Settle things I would write, record, document things that may be helpful to future generations or species. Then if i find a library or something I would study genetics and such, find a sperm bank, egg bank, DNA research centre or whatever and do my best to speard human DNA across the land potentially creating a ape-human sub species.

Kitties don't masturbate.

All mammals do actually.

[Warrior in the Shadows]

I'd try to become super smart and read every book in the world.
My day would look like this:
-Sustenance
-Read
-Do a little bit of exercising
-Sustenance
-Read
-Sustenance
-Read

Oh, and throw in some sleep every now and then.
Basically, reading would probably be the only way to cope with the fact that I am the last person alive.

My two reactions:
1) How do you know this fact?
2) This is a fact I wish I never learned. There are certain animals which I just never want to imagine jacking off (e.g. a Hedgehog)
