Life After People
 

Watching "Life After People" on History Channel HD. I guess 200 years after humans are gone, most structures will start crumbling. Nature will reclaim itself. Interesting program. Anyone else watch this?

PS I hope to God this is a repost.

I saw the commercial for it and it said something along the lines of birds and monkeys will form alliances...did they go down the whole planet of the apes path?

I misspelled "island" on the poll. SORRY

In the yeeeeaaar two thooooussaaaaand

I think I saw this a while back. Does it do a bit on Chernobyl after the nuclear accident and how the lack of human intervention shows it slowly turning back to nature? That was interesting.

As long as there's internet I'll be fine.

I saw the first ep (I think), Really interesting, but the concept of the show doesn't really lend itself to multiple episodes. They'd all be pretty much the same.

I caught the show the first time around, decent.

So we're watching a re-post?

I thought it was pretty cool so I watched it twice.

Wouldn't it be weird if you were the last person on earth, but the internet was still active? I'd be going around trolling everyone, getting the last word, catching up on posts I'd never read. It'd be spooky. I could talk with bots and pretend they were real humans.

No, you'd be ****ed. Who would support you?

I'd come around to your house and eat all your food.

That would be VERY stupid.

What would you do the next day?

Take a dump on your recliner.

ROFL

You wouldn't last a week without your mommy.

My mother is dead you asshole.

Didn't you lie about that once before dicklicker?

great show.

and this poll is flawed, I'd do ALL of those things. ****in' A

I would go to the best place to live but I have a love of people and I might die first. Plus the thought of no sex makes me wonder if I would go crazy before anything else!!

No one will be around to make the porn...

There's enough to last a lifetime.

I could explore the history of porn...

Yes, he did.

If Claythan ejaculates on his sister's grave, and no one is around to see it, is it still incest?

I watched an episode today. Very interesting. I enjoyed the part where they showed the cats living high up in the skyscrapers which would become their own mini eco systems. The cats are basically like normal house cats except that in the skyscrapers they are at the top of the food chain because they are the largest predator on the high up floors eating the mice, insects and small birds. The said that the cats might eventually evolve and grow wings similar to that of flying squirrels and glide from skyscraper to skyscraper.

Please. I'd be full on humping Carrie Underwood's tombstone.

I liked that show. I have a feeling that humans won't last nearly as long as other species have on this planet. Considering how long the dinosaurs lived, humans have only lived on earth for a few minutes, relatively speaking. Humans have done their best to destroy the earth but it will have last laugh and then the earth will be history when sun becomes a red giant and devours it.

I have enough Fallout 3 training to give me great confidence in surviving a world with very few people.

Flying cats, interesting. They better hope they can grow wings before the other predators learn how to push the elevator buttons.

The loneliness would probably drive most people to suicide

ROFL

You've never had room mates I take it then.

They are. I keep searching trying 2 find a new one but every episode: paint flakes away, structure rusts,vegetation grows, blah blah.

Hashima Island

I read this cool article several weeks ago about this island that they featured on Life After People.Check it out

I don't know why, but I was very depressed after I watched it.

Thanks. One of my all time favorites.

I'd be checking out the women's locker rooms.

Another show on the same theme, but by the National Geographic,

Aftermath: Population zero

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=15954278

Interesting place. I'm intrigued by the deep-sea coal mining too.

I went into the womens bathroom because we ran out of soap.

I also put in a memo to the Safty rep that we ran out of soap in this day and age. I mean WTF is going on?

In 2112

The meek shall inheirit the earth!

Just to see if there are urinals there too, I bet.

I would basically be like the guy in "I Am Legend" minus the freaky ass zombie people. I'd be hoarding food....and driving around in sweet ass cars. I'd basically just build myself a compound and go do whatever the **** I wanted to do.

Oh...and I'd sleep in until noon every day....and play video games a lot. Plus catch up on all of the movies that I haven't seen.

I DVR this show, and I Am Legend is currently on my TV because I randomly flipped to HBO and left it there.

I would pretty much siphon as much gas as possible, there'd be a pretty decent supply within a 25 mile radius.

Then I would first raid the grocery stores, etc for sustenance.

Finally I would find out where the Amazon.com warehouse are and make a road trip and pretty much find a sweet ass TV, surround sound, Bluray player, etc.

Then I would raid their DVD/Blu-Ray collection and live happily ever after.

In the book The Martian Chronicles one of the chapters is a guy who's the last man on Mars. (the planet was populated by Earth people but they died off). He goes around looking for another person and he eventually finds the last woman on Mars. When he finds her she's eating chocolate, it's all over her face, and she's like 300 pounds and wearing a wedding dress.
So he runs away.

ROFL

Ummm....why would you have to raid an Amazon.com warehouse? You couldn't go to Best Buy and get a TV or movies?

Yeah that was a cool read.

Good Point.

However, Best Buy is sort of Limited on what they offer. I guess I could make due though.

I just realized that after the power turned off, I would need a gas powered generator.

I'm not saying you would have to settle with what Best Buy has to offer....but I would check there first.

I would have 10 TVs set up in my house....one for my computer....one for my PS3....one for the 360.....and 7 others playing movies.

You may need to learn how to operate a refinery, as it won't take long for existing petrol to evaporate from gas stations...

The Twinkie Factory is your best bet for food....

I doubt it would evaporate that quickly. It's not like a pool of gasoline just sitting around. The problem would be getting it out of the storage tank since there is no electricity.

Thats why you need to siphon it out of cars.

Couldn't you open that thing on the ground that they measure it with and lower a can tied to a string down there and pull it up one canful at a time?

You wouldn't be completely alone if CP was still up because Al Gore would have to be alive to keep the internet running.

I think you're all forgetting about the flesh-eating zombies.

Did anyone ever see that old Twilight Zone with Burgess Meredith where he's this Coke bottle glasses wearing guy that just wants to read books? There's a nuclear war and he ends up the lone survivor. He goes to the library and sees the thousands of books and he's elated because now he can just read without any human contact. But when he sits down he drops his glasses and they smash to pieces, leaving him nearly blind and unable to read.

****in A :thumb:

I will rule the Capital Wasteland!

Isn't it illegal to tamper with those things?

Saw that, poor bastard. It would be like the Chiefs making the super bowl and the tv satellite feed goes down right at the beginning of the game.

The Simpsons had a short spoof about that episode. ROFL

I'm pretty sure nothing is illegal when you're the ONLY PERSON ALIVE.

SPOILERS

Incorrect. The laws still stand until you have a special election to replace the legislature and president, and then vote to repeal the laws. And I bet half of CP members aren't even registered to vote, in which case they're really in trouble because they won't have a witness or notary public or whatever to certify their registration.

remind me to not be sarcastic next time

yeah ill never get the 20 seconds of my life that it took me to read this

Masturbate?

But you came out of it a little more knowledgeable about constitutional law.

Screw that. I would start a one man revolution and be KING.
