Do you remember this scene in the admittedly pretty weird movie Waterworld? Image
That. Bring it.
If there were an alien craft hovering in a corn field I’d sprint to it with my thumb up screaming GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE
I'm sure a good lot of you, like me, had been anticipating/dreading that moment when we say, oh fuck this is it, for real. Like the BIG oh fuck. My question is, how ready are you?

If we’re lucky it’s that quick and easy.

I exist in a costantly worsening state of existential dread caused by the omnipresent boot of fascism and corporatism oppressing us. I am always ready for this bitch to blow.

Honestly, I live in a tiny town none of you have ever heard of, faaar away from anything worth nuking. On top of that, it’s shielded by mountains on most sides. Me and mine will probably be fine, but my livelihood will disappear.
But I’m a pretty handy guy who can probably build a decent power source from scrap I have in my basement considering there’s a river nearby, so even if the rest of the world goes to hell, we’ll manage to keep some sort of society running.
And I grew up on a farm, and could run one if needed. And there are quite a few farms in the area, so I guess being a farmhand will be my new career. I wouldn’t like it, but I’d manage.
Sucks that I wouldn’t be able to shitpost about it, though.

Are you really ready to farm enough food for your community without globalization?

Sounds like Whittier, Alaska

Wrong continent, but almost as far north, more mountainous, and fewer fishing boats. And slightly more people, based on how the town looks.

Shit post with cows. They’re furry, and cute, and empathetic. Just go up to one and say MOOOOOOO and he’ll look at you like “I’m sorry, I think something got lost in translation…”

I recently bought a car battery jump box, that has a full sized USB-A port on it. So yeah, I’m prepared.

I’m ok with it. I would never end my own life prematurely, because I wouldn’t want to cause my loved ones any unnecessary suffering. But I’m not afraid of death.
ZiggyTheZygote@lemmy.ca 18 hours ago
Never give up.
Sakurai@sh.itjust.works 15 hours ago
Indeed. There is still so much good in the world, and you never know what might change for the better in the next months/days/hours.
Try moving somewhere really different to break the cycle.

I was afraid my comment might come across this way, and it appears it has to some. I have not given up at all. I’m actually enjoying life right now more than I have in a very long time, despite all the chaos around us.
When I say “I wouldn’t mind it,” I don’t mean it like “just go ahead and end the misery,” I mean I’m just not super attached to this life. I believe in reincarnation, and that when we die we have a life review and then return to being one with the universe/god/source until our next life. I’m excited to see what the next step is like.

I hope I will keep my general knowledge and intelligence but be isekaied to a world with magic because fuck this whole science bullshit.
What do you mean I’m stuck on this planet?
What do you mean if I’m lucky I get 90 years, the last 30 of which suck? The first 30 have also sucked. And from what it looks like the middle 30 is also going to suck.
What do you mean I have to work in a cubicle for like 45 years of my life, which already sucks, but sucks more because of the cubicle?
Fuck this shit, give me some magic, tell science to go suck a fat one.

Tbf I’m too addicted to the internet, idk if I can survive the withdrawl without it…
Like maybe if the gods gave me an indestructible phone (cuz these things only normally last like 5 years tops) with internet access (like a magical wormhole beaming the signals across realms)… sure… I can do a magical fantasy world and watch anime in my personal time…

The process of dying scares me but not death itself, so fuck it, whatever lets do this

Not at all.

Ready enough. Plan and prep for self-reliance but never forget we are social creatures and history has shown that in hard times most of us unite for survival rather than turn into post-apocalyptic war bands and cannibal biker gangs. Most people aren’t going to care that they had opposing views on Facebook a year prior when they’re sheltering from drones under the same husk of Walmart. And for the minority that are so truly, deeply, totally immersed in their bigotry that co-survival in the face of annihilation is not an option? That’s why I’m glad I stockpile in a state with incredibly lax gun laws.

i will simply not care once left this world. No need to make preparations. I can get an aneurism while gaming, get hit by a car, rot inside from cancer or die in my sleep when i’m an old hag. But as soon as i passed the threshold it won’t matter if i am ready or not. It kind of gives me peace. It’ll happen someday anyway.
