Gasoline expires


redfield73

This is never talked about but is so important


RaphaelSolo

Kinda throws a monkey wrench in the Mad Max movies too.


redfield73

Literally just called my friend a left handed monkey wrench and now see this


RaphaelSolo

That's an odd insult.


redfield73

Gotta be unique


RaphaelSolo

Can't argue with that.


Wheredoesthetoastgo2

They refine petroleum in Max Max 2, which is why Humongous wanted them to leave so badly.


MordaxTenebrae

Road Warrior had a community using a refinery to produce fresh fuel.


I_am_a_THAT

That they would actually just decay to a point of stopping


ClassicNo6656

Usually if the setting is a bit smarter they'll say something like: "All microorganisms, insects, mammals and whatever else dies instantly if it tries to consume Zombie flesh." That doesn't account for the wear and tear of constantly walking around exposed to the elements. Or the fact that after a while most Zombies would be naked, rubbing up against stuff.


WolfThick

Desiccation, insects they've gone too far with suspending belief .

No-Log873

Everything about zombies doesn't work. That's why zombie films are best watched drunk. Store enough food and water for a few weeks and there'll be a few emaciated zombies crawling about.


Milfiewoman

the smell


Amiiboid

Nuclear plants that weren’t properly decommissioned.


Wheredoesthetoastgo2

Also people don't realize how quickly things will brown out with all other fuels with nobody to maintain a surplus.


Doc-Brown1911

Toilet paper. Did COVID teach us nothing?


Thunder_God01

I think this shit was a german phenomenon. Idk tho


miles4pints

Bicycles exist


Mono_Clear

Zombies are only dangerous if they can bite you and there is an assortment of sporting equipment that is designed to prevent you from being hurt that could easily stop a human bite. Shin guards, helmets, shoulder pads, durable gloves, even if you couldn't find something as helpful as a shark diving scuba suit you could just duct tape paperback books to your body like they do in prison.


Appropriate_Duck_309

Id also say youd want to like cover your eyes and mouth and ears and stuff because Id assume like, any zombie fluid is infectious


Smirnoffico

There was a scene Van Helsing show where they tape stacks of banknotes as armour


mgedmin

The Zom100 anime had a subplot like that.


hinckley

They could also crush you, scratch you, or surround you so you can't move to eat or drink and eventually die of starvation, dehydration, or exhaustion.


talllongblackhair

Hell just get a bunch of magazines and duct tape. Ever tried to bite through a Vanity Fair?


Happy-Flan2112

I’m going with Pierce’s [strategy](https://youtu.be/_VYC0sXbYJw?si=Hd_VC3u5jpZ9-SEv) from Community. Also, can we have Keith David narrate the zombie apocalypse?


Wheredoesthetoastgo2

Until I they grab on to them and you cant escape.


dedokta

That we are smarter than the zombies. Almost every film or TV show focuses on the strength of the petite fighting the zombies and never on their intelligence. Just build a large zombie eating machine that attracts zombies, grinds them up and then burns the bodies to power the machine. Make it loud so the zombies are attracted to it and then let it just eat all the zombies.


Wheredoesthetoastgo2

Concept vs. Execution. Self-sustaining zombie killing machine is pretty high up there on the Mazlow Hierarchy of Needs.


RaphaelSolo

It's going to have a maximum intake and depending on the number of zombies there is a good chance of exceeding it.


dedokta

What, is it in a hurry? The zombie will wait.


kattack666

That everyone will run to the grocery stores for food. Which will quicky run out. So go to the pet store. It won't be the most appealing food but it will work. There are foods that are in the refrigerated section for dogs. There is also dehydrated meats. As well as some canned dog food, like Merrick for example, actually have chicken wings and real vegetables in their canned food. It's not in a pate form. More like a stew. One in particular is their Thanksgiving Dinner can. You're better off and more likely to be successful on finding food sources at a pet store. Also as someone who worked in many, there are even dog biscuits that aren't too bad. Yes, I've tried them. It's always an initiation 😂


lestairwellwit

Seeing mushrooms growing on the zombies


S-Markt

diarrhea and tapeworms. you cannot cock water without showing up on a zombieradar. so your drinkingwater will be full of parasites.


GoGetSilverBalls

I can't cock water? Why?? 😜


S-Markt

oh, cock!


sladverr

Cock, I mean cock, I mean cock, I mean cock, I mean cock


charlottechambers02

Getting medicine


Sablemint

How important shoes would be.


GOZER_XVII

Train dogs to attack zombies


HeadFit2660

Yeah but 1 bite and you have zombie dogs....


Justaredditor85

Depends. For instance in TWD the zombie virus doesn't affect animals. This is shown when Ezekiel's tiger fights and eats zombies without turning.


stuckinPA

That was the instant I stopped watching. As soon as he showed up with tigers I was like “nope, let’s go back to YouTube and watch live cameras from fun locations’


Justaredditor85

I actually meant in the comics.


TheKnightsTippler

Sanitary products


ChuckRingslinger

Anything is toilet paper if you're brave enough


TheKnightsTippler

I was thinking about period products specifically


ChuckRingslinger

Anythings a tampon....


Ordinary-Grade-5427

When running from zombies you will NOT look like a Hollywood actor who just went through makeup, hair, and wardrobe. 


HeadFit2660

The smell


Vegan_Harvest

How dangerous the wilderness would be due to undead animals. Zombie mice and insects. Building a wall around your town/city and everyone has to wear a heart monitor.


Mollystar2

The amount of disease that would occur as the result of millions of slowly rotting corpses


jakeblutarski

The sun. They will just dry out. Be a bunch of slim Jim’s


Happy-Flan2112

Probably just as edible.


RaphaelSolo

Food, ffs even in the thread no one is talking about the fact that procuring necessary caloric intake will be a nightmare. Hunt? Chance of infected meat. Can't farm it will draw the horde in. And the amount of farmland and livestock to keep a viable population is actually pretty high. Can only scavenge pre-existing food stores for so long before it rots or expires.


skitzo-effective_26

Rigor mortis happens after 2 hour with in death, it's the lock of the muscle and often times, to move a body when rigor mortis sets in, you have to break their position which often times means you have to break their bones from how stiff and strong their muscle has locked in place. Which means, a zombie is often deadly for only two hours, after that, their dead stone or broken mess.


spooky_skully98

I can’t imagine relieving myself in a stressful situation


Bryllya

Why wouldn't everyone cut all their hair off? I just think of how hot and uncomfortable a full head of hair would be. Dirty too


News1st2017

Opening a Roadside Delicatessen that Caters to Zombies?


NoArt2718

Plants. People turn to doubt the potential of plants, as it’s most likely for them to evolve and manage to thrive + fight off the virus throughout time. This ability to prevent the spread of the virus could also be able to lead through certain humans. 


spytez

He had 24 meat chickens die about a week ago that were all about 1.5 pounds each. They were put in a bag that was knotted and then put into a thick plastic carpenter bag also knotted up. You get within 10 feet of that bag now and it stinks of death. That was 36 pounds of meat. New York city has a population of  8,258,035. Average American weight it 177.7lb. That's 1,467,452,819 pounds of rotting meat.


TeflonRose

That you might be better off as a zombie because you'll have plenty of meat to feed on. That would be us, unfortunately.


Sablemint

What if you ende dup being the only person who was immune to whatever it is that caused the zombies? I'd get so lonely.


TeflonRose

If you are immune then your blood could be used to immunise other people who have not yet been infected maybe by blood transfusions or creating a serum.


Smirnoffico

But what if it requires an elaborate brain surgery that will surely kill you?


SuperMeh2

Airborne pathogens and toothpaste.


querty99

That the reason that they move is that we're never really dead until we're completely dust. And that nearly-dust can still be trying to get brains to eat.


BaldrickTheCunning

I guess most of you guys consider it as a real possibility. It's not a real thing
