If you were among the last humans left after an A bomb...

[Skip Towne]

If you somehow escaped the A bomb alive, how much technology could you re-produce? Let's say you had a few machinists and machines available and plenty of metal. Could you tell the rest of the people how to build an internal combustion engine? An air conditioner? A television? A telephone?

[BIG_DADDY]

I could make a beer bong.

ROFL At least your getting the important stuff. I would be looking to see if any of the machinists were hot.

[FloridaChief]

Let's say you had a few machinists and machines available and plenty of metal.

Knowing my luck, they'd be left radioactive retards and the best they could do is recreate this stupid thread.

[Skip Towne]

Come to think of it, I could make a plain ole bong, too.
I really wasn't expecting you to respond to this thread. I just assumed you would be busy looting liquor stores and not interested in rebuilding the plight of the human race.

[Saulbadguy]

I'd build another A-Bomb, I guess.

[Skip Towne]

Knowing my luck, they'd be left radioactive retards and the best they could do is recreate this stupid thread.
Luck? Luck is the residue of design. If you get radioactive retards it's because you deserve them, you retard.

[Skip Towne]

I'd build another A-Bomb, I guess.
You know how to build an A bomb? There are several countries that would hire you right now.

[FloridaChief]

Luck? Luck is the residue of design.

But bad luck is the residue of an old man's undergarments. Stupid.

[Saulbadguy]

If there was a nuclear phyicist in the group, i'm sure we could figure it out.

[Thig Lyfe]

I could make a radio out of coconuts.

[stumppy]

I could make a radio out of coconuts.


I can make a jock strap out of coconuts and a fan belt.

[tk13]

I'd turn the search function back on.

Yeah. I'm not very bright. The nuclear phyicist is, though.

[Miles]

Nah its not that difficult.

I'm sure you would be an excellent assistant Igor.

[Skip Towne]

Yeah. I'm not very bright. The nuclear phyicist is, though.
:LOL: Well, OK.

[Skip Towne]

Just looking around me I can see there are damn few things I could recreate. A pane of glass? Nope. A mirror? Nope. I'll bet most of us would be cast back into the 1840's if this scenario happened. A gun? Nope. And probably a not very good bow and arrow. Hell, I doubt many of us could feed ourselves and survive.

[Phobia]

I could recreate a lot of stuff right up to a crude phone. Beyond that, I'd be screwed unless there was a radio shack nearby.

[KC Jones]

I could make a volcano erupt with vinegar and baking soda!

A lot of stuff? Like what?

[PastorMikH]

Given the tools, as it appears I'd have, I could fashion knives (I've made several already) and could even build a gun - the only problem would be coming up with the gun powder. That is the part that would give me some trouble.

Given the materials and the tools, I am confident I could survive.

[stumppy]

I don't think I would have a problem building shelter and putting food on the table. An internal combustion engine and a gun I could do. A television or telephone....I guess I would have to shoot Saul with my gun and force his physicist friend to make them for me.

[Skip Towne]

Where would you get gunpowder for your gun? Where would you get gasoline for your engine?

[stumppy]

Where would you get gunpowder for your gun? Where would you get gasoline for your engine?
Same way endelt is getting his booze. I'd loot it.
Hmmm, maybe a steam engine then, and a little book learning whould be all it takes to make some black powder.


Okay Okay, I'd just stab Saul then hold the knife to his buddy's throat.

[Phobia]

A lot of stuff? Like what?

I can make tons of things. I'm a builder. I can make combustion engines, electronic motors - I dunno, I can make a bunch of things.

[Skip Towne]

I can make tons of things. I'm a builder. I can make combustion engines, electronic motors - I dunno, I can make a bunch of things.
:LOL: Electronic motors

[Jenson71]

Today in chemistry, I stacked two nails on to one nail. I tipped the flat side of nail 1 on the table. Then with the flat sides pointing up, I carefully overlapped the other two onto the tip of nail 1.

So, that should count for something.

[FloridaChief]

:LOL: Electronic motors

Excited cause it might keep your defibulating heart beating a few more months?

[Skip Towne]

Excited cause it might keep your defibulating heart beating a few more months?
And that would concern you...how?

[badgirl]

I would loot a drug store, then I wouldn't give a damn what you all were building, it would all be fine with me. If someone built a car I would steal it, then I'd be happy. :thumb:

[FloridaChief]

And that would concern you...how?

Watching a decrepit old moron slip into the grave is jolly good fun to me...

[Skip Towne]

Hahahahaha. Who would you steal the gasoline from?

[badgirl]

Hahahahaha. Who would you steal the gasoline from?
maby if someone had sense enough to make a car, it would be electric, huh, hows that for a plan? :thumb: :p

[Manila-Chief]

yep ... the questions is ... where would the radio or T.V. signal come from ... with a phone ... who else would have one that you can call ... car - where would you go....

Look on the bright side ... at least we would not have to debate Kingless' draft picks!!!!!

[Manila-Chief]

Or maybe Phil with all his creative ability could create .... ABFL?????

[Fire Me Boy!]

Gimme four guys with legs and I could put together a starting secondary to rival the Chiefs for starting spots...

See any good movies lately? I went to Hide and Seek tonight...It was average at best. De Niro was good.

[Fire Me Boy!]

FINALLY got to see Finding Neverland last weekend. That was outstanding!

[Jenson71]

Yeah it was. I thought Depp was real good, and I've never been much of a Depp fan. Tomorrow I'm seeing Million Dollar Baby and Sideways, so it should be good day.

[Alec R]

I imagine what I couldnt figure out how to build I could make up for by going to a standing library full of books to teach me how to do it.

I doubt every library is going to be destroyed and somehow I doubt hi-tech factories with deep underground labs are destroyed so I could find a way to get the information needed to re-produce the technology I would require.

But as someone pointed out, its not hard to make a bong.

[Miles]

FINALLY got to see Finding Neverland last weekend. That was outstanding!

I havent seen a single movie thats nominated for best picture since i dont usually go to the theather much. Though A Very long Engagement finally opened here this weekend and i may go check it out.

[Rausch]

Yeah. I'm not very bright. The nuclear phyicist is, though.

I got a feeling that if most of America dies in a nuclear exchange, even if that physicist survives the bombing, he or she wouldn't last long in the general population...

I'd also bet that if you had a surplus of medical supplies, safe food, or guns, you could trade them for damned near anything you wanted.

[go bo]

I'd also bet that if you had a surplus of medical supplies, safe food, or guns, you could trade them for damned near anything you wanted.trading would work in the short term, but you would need to develop many basic tools and acquire some sort of long term food source to have any chance of survival...

people without any basic survival skills (read most city people who are not veterans) probably would not do very well...

(ok, i've teed it up now...)

[Hammock Parties]

I could make sandwiches...

[go bo]

I could make sandwiches...i'm almost afraid to ask what you would put into those sandwiches... :huh:

[Hammock Parties]

Depends what everyone wants...I'm partial to chicken or turkey and cheddar on wheat.

[Miles]

Yeah it was. I thought Depp was real good, and I've never been much of a Depp fan. Tomorrow I'm seeing Million Dollar Baby and Sideways, so it should be good day.

Let me know what you think of em. I have been considering going to seem em both soon. I actually have a pretty good theater less than a mile away from my place but i usually prefer to wait for DVD.

[go bo]

Depends what everyone wants...I'm partial to chicken or turkey and cheddar on wheat.that doesn't sound like what a real gay man would eat...

oh wait, wrong thread...

[Demonpenz]

I would probably construct a catapult

[Taco John]

I'd also bet that if you had a surplus of medical supplies, safe food, or guns, you could trade them for damned near anything you wanted.



That's be awesome. I'd trade them for a 52 inch big screen. My wife only let me get the 42, and I'm missing those ten inches.

[Taco John]

plus I'm pretty good with a bowstaff...

[Hammock Parties]

I'm missing those ten inches.

Batter up....

[Otter]

If someone could supply me with circuit boards, and their components I could re-establish communication through radio waves. Even if someone could figure out a way to blow glass and form a vacume inside of it it I could make a less efficient means of RF.

Who the hell am I kidding, I'll be sitting around with endo working the bongs unless I'm getting paid.

I'm a slacker by nature, it's just too rough of a road to keep things fun for my lifestyle.

[Fairplay]

I can make tons of things. I'm a builder. I can make combustion engines, electronic motors - I dunno, I can make a bunch of things.




MacGyver part 2.

You're a plumber. Shut the f*ck up and fix the shitbowl, errand-boy.

[Herzig]

That's what she told ME last night on the phone

[Calcountry]

Come to think of it, I could make a plain ole bong, too.But could you brew some beer?

[Calcountry]

I can make tons of things. I'm a builder. I can make combustion engines, electronic motors - I dunno, I can make a bunch of things.I could make the methane gas to run some of those engines. ;)

[Jenson71]

Can you hear me Major Tom?

[Jenson71]

She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on...

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's a freaky show
Take a look at the Lawmen
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll never know
He's in the best-selling show

Is there life on Mars?

[go bo]

Just a guess, I could be wrong, but if he did, wouldn't his porn career have worked out a little better?

I don't watch much of that chit nowadays, family man and all, but he was a celebrety their for a while...

[go bo]

Funny that you'd know that...ROFL ROFL ROFL

[Skip Towne]

And once you have that functioning properly, it's gonna really hinder your motivation to build much else.
Where are you going to find something to put in the bong?

[Skip Towne]

Water falls from the sky.
MmmmmK...you're 2/3 of the way there.

[Rausch]

The final piece is under a grow lamp in a fallout shelter.

But you have no fallout shelter. :hmmm:

[Skip Towne]

The final piece is under a grow lamp in a fallout shelter.
That's good advance planning. I screwed up this thread by using the A bomb scenario. I should have said " You are suddenly thrust back into the 1840's". That would have avoided all the looting and underground machinations. I'll know better next time.

[FloridaChief]

Sweet. I'll have no problems finding pot in the 1840's.

Don't be a fool. In your location, peyote is plentiful...

[ROYC75]

Nobody would build the internet for us again ? Was Al Gore killed ?

I would build a nightclub for all of my radioactive friends to hang out!:D

[Otter]

eh, who'd a thunk it, what with your avatar title and all... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I get my motivation from helping starving children, the goodness that can be found in all of mankind and life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Like that one better?

[Rain Man]

I could make electricity. I know how to do that, more or less.
