Zombie apocalypse

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Whew...had me worried a little there.
 
Its a zombie apocalypse thread people. Lets not overthink this and worry about reality. Furthermore maybe you can find .22 ammo online now but during an apocalypse?....

Yeah and we really probably should dispense with all the G&A talk..

There is no reason one would need to shoot the brain. Something dying then coming back is impossible. It is however possible for a disease to make an animal (or a human) go crazy and attack other animals or humans. That has even happened on a lesser extent. All that's left to happen is it being spread through bodily fluids. So even if the crazy person doesn't respond to pain, he would still die from normal wounds. I would go with a sailboat (No fuel needed, and zombies wouldn't find me. Even if they did I would be onboard ready to cut them down with a katana. If it got out of hand a .22 would do wonders. Once I made it to an island with sharks in high concentration around it, they would eat any zombies that got close.

As this is purely hypothetical, whos to say it would be a disease? Could it not be a parasite of some description? Not necessarily indigenous? Parasite re- routes motor functions etc. Similar to making a dead frog twitch with a probe. Therefore organs are effectively obsolete and limbs are purely a source of locomition. Now you need to kill the parasite which just happens to live in some cortex or other in the old noggin. Not that I spend any time obsessing about this lol.

But there is no way to control a whole body by poking a brain. Twitching is one thing, but locamotion, and feeding is another. The zombie would also need some sort of consciousness, to acknowledge the presence of a human. Even if it was possible, without organs the body would decompose quickly, rendering it useless to the parasite.

Agreed, and I think the intent of this thread was to adhere to original zombie lore that the brain must be destroyed to stop them. If that affects the choices you make from post #1, you can always explain that in your post, otherwise this is on its way to a major de-rail
 
Bear in mind we are talking imaginary ficticious circumstances. Besides its not the poking that causes the twitch. Its the electrical charge through the synapses or whatever. Who's to say certain currents applied to certain parts of the brain couldn't give some kind of control? Same with senses. Dont forget op said we were talking traditional slow lumbering zombies... as to decomposition? Maybe zombies are all slowly decomposing? For every book or movie that has them alive but diseased there is another that has them dead and reanimated. I hope we never find out lol. All bravado and talk of guns aside we'd be well and truly ducked!

If they don't decompose it's still calories in vs calories out. All you need to do is survive for a few months and the zombie situation should work itself out

It would take amazing amounts of complexity that I don't see any way another animal could evolve to have that much control over another without being noticed by humans. It doesn't take long for flesh to decompose. It would only take a few muscles decay to a point where they couldn't function to completely disable a zombie.
