You're the last person

what if you're the last person on earth

Where did everybody go

zombies rapture one big surprise party

off the planet for whatever reason you

are the last human on earth so what do

you do eat like a king move into

Buckingham Palace

drive fast blow things up be naked all

the time

or would you pretend you weren't alone

how long would you last this is what if

and here's how you can survive as the

last person on earth so you wake up one

day and find you're the only person left

in the world kind of cool right no

obligations no rules no limits

go nuts step one enjoy the good things

while you can go for the exotic fruits

first if your mangoes and bananas are

imported from overseas chances are

they'll be hard to come by so eat them

while you can and enjoy every last bite

step 2 find a secure source of fuel you

might think that with no one stopping

you you could go anywhere but not so

fast all those abandoned cars boats and

planes you see lying around will be

useless in about two years when their

fuel goes stale guess you'll be sticking

around but for how long

step 3 find a place to live if water

food and shelter are your basic needs

shelter would be the easiest to come by

you'd literally have a world of homes to

choose from but be careful where you

settle down cities would become

dangerous since without proper

maintenance they'd start to fall apart

pretty quickly nature's elements rain

frost and heat would take their toll rot

and mold would become widespread and

vegetation would crack through concrete

and break through glass but even if you

were able to fight back against nature's

reclamation of the land all it takes is

one bolt of lightning to start a

citywide fire and you can't call the

fire department so run for the hills

step four get yourself some protection

but even the country isn't all that safe

first of all there are predators you'd

need to defend against wild dogs feral

cats bears but you'd only have to worry

about them as long as you could still

breathe there are more than 400 nuclear

power plants in the world and once

they're automated safety systems began

to fail without human supervision there

would be meltdowns across the planet

rendering many regions simply

uninhabitable

step 5 find some food in terms of food

the city would be your best bet

supermarkets have enough canned and

frozen food to last you for decades

whereas in the country crops and

livestock would start to dwindle without

proper care or protection from predators

but if natural is more your style you'd

have to go back to the old ways of

hunting with a spear or bow since

ammunition would be limited and harder

to come by maybe you could grow your own

little vegetable garden but that would

cut into your water resources

step 6 it's all about the water without

other humans you'd be without

electricity water pumping stations and

treatment works would shut down and the

fresh water kept in reservoirs would go

stale quite quickly you could rely on

bottled water and you'd probably have

thousands of liters to go through but

eventually you'd have to learn how to

purify your own

step 7 start learning you'd have to

teach yourself a lot of things but lucky

for you you've got a lot of time on your

hands and millions of books out there

with all the information you'd need to

survive effectively on your own so while

it might be hard at first you could

technically survive as the last human on

earth but would you really want to

humans evolved together as social

creatures in order to survive we join

forces against hunger and harsh weather

and build families and communities to

share stories empathize and keep each

other happy and healthy human contact

has been scientifically proven to build

trust and reduce stress so while it's

about to cramp your style be glad it's a

small world we need each other more than

you think
