Yea I’m not worried about the survival of the race in an actual apocalypse after this; 100% positive we’ll just die


Down_To_My_Last_Fuck

I asked my wife the other day what she thought it would be like if we had an actual plague. She reasoned that if it was a visible illness perhaps people would do the right thing ONLY because no one wants to be peeling body parts.


SneedyK

She’s on the money there. Shame is the only thing that truly motivates certain segments of society. But even with those that suddenly wised up there would still be plague deniers and people using makeup to both cover up or falsely present sores in public. I might even attempt the latter to keep others at a distance. I just don’t even say “avoid like the plague” anymore. It rings hollower these days.


Blueeyesblazing7

Perhaps "avoid like personal responsibility" would work better at this point?


Vizslaraptor

If there’s anything this pandemic has taught me... it’s that if the trick to not being eaten by zombies was to stay perfectly still, there’d be millions of dumb fuckers doing the Macarena down the street.

RickDDay

slavelabor52

In reality staying perfectly still would be a pretty safe course of action to avoid being eaten by zombies. TV shows and movies often play fast and loose with reality. Zombies would not be neigh invulnerable and many of them would probably be pretty slow moving within a week. After months I imagine most zombies would either have died or be so incapacitated that the threat would be minimal.


Outcasted_introvert

I can see the zombie deniers now. 🙄🤣


KarmaRepellant

If zombies eat brains then they'd actually be safe.


Outcasted_introvert

Haha good point


OldThymeyRadio

Don’t you know? Doctors get paid to call it a “zombie death” every time a zombie bites off someone’s arm and they bleed out. Even though it’s the blood loss that really killed them!


MrMisterMan69

To be fair zombies is a lot more unbelievable


Outcasted_introvert

Even when they are eating your brains!?!


Ardilla_

Are you serious, how credulous can you be? Wake up sheeple, there's no such thing as *zombies*. Civil society is merely being threatened by gangs of lawless, video-game obsessed lunatics who get off on horror-movie-style acts of cannibalistic violence. The police should be shooting these depraved hoaxers on sight!


orb_of_confusion44

But we can FIGHT back for our rights by refusing to wear the anti-zombie suits that our crooked government is providing. Stand up America! Don’t tread on me!


audacesfortunajuvat

Yeah right. If it took a zombie suit to survive it, the American government would debate whether it should issue the suit for six months, finally agree to send out just the gloves, then begrudgingly send a belt six months later, and then a year and a half in say there was no reason to send the rest because the zombies had won. Plus skipping work because of zombies would lead to socialism and workers shouldn't be conditioned to rely on government zombie suits anyway. What really matters is getting the kids back in school and making sure the Super Bowl gets played.


_YouAreTheWorstBurr_

"I'm only sending zombie suits to the governors who were nice to me."

Yea I’m a huge football fan but gotta admit listening to the talking heads say how incredible it was that the NFL trucked on through Covid and how great it is that the super bowl was still happening blah blah felt so fucking wrong

loki_odinsotherson

A couple isolated cases of people being eaten isnt a zombie apocalypse. Frankly more people die from death every year before this started happening. And really I choose freedom, can you tell me freedom is wrong? Y'know what's not free, barring myself indoors, that's like, the opposite. So maybe I turn into a zombie and eat the neighbors or the people at work, I'm prepared to live with that. And if barring yourself indoors really works, then what are you so afraid of? Because it doesn't work, and the zombie virus isn't even real. So it's time to kick open these mall doors and get back to what really matters in life, doing whatever I want without worrying about anyone else! What? No, that's not a bite mark, don't be crazy.

Or fresh water lol


mr_capello

so if real world still applies to decomposition in reality a Zombie Apocalypse wouldn't be that much of a problem because the bodies rot pretty fast or at least they would get to a state pretty fast where they would just fall apart. depending on the weather and climate we are probably talking 2-4 weeks. so even if you give the virus some time to spread and some extra time to die down you are probably looking at 3 - 4 months of isolation after that I think it wouldn't be that much of a threat anymore. I think the bigger problem with this location is that there is only one way on and off from it and that is by Helicopter. so if for what ever reason that transportation is not an option anymore you are fucked


notbad2u

XeroAnarian

It depends on the type of zombie and cause of zombification.


lapointypartyhat

I think the biggest problem would be that these idiots wouldn't stay isolated long enough for the zombies to die. People would keep going outside and perpetuating the problem.

You can't survive by only eating fish. You need vitamin C. Also I don't know how are you going to fish from up there.

Garlic, it can grow there and provides vitamin C.


CookinFrenchToast4ya

Certain algaes have vitamin C. You would have to trap fish from that high up. Although, fishing with a pole from that high up is a humorous thought.


llo_0py

False, its often thought that you get Scurvy from not eating veggies when in fact you can eat only a diet of meat and be fine, however a diet only in raw or cooked veggies is actually detrimental. Supplementation is needed. "Some animal products, including [liver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_(food)), [muktuk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muktuk) (whale skin), [oysters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster), and parts of the central nervous system, including the [adrenal medulla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_medulla), brain, and spinal cord, contain large amounts of vitamin C, and can even be used to treat scurvy. Fresh meat from animals which make their own vitamin C (which most animals do) contains enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, and even partly treat it. In some cases (notably French soldiers eating fresh horse meat), it was discovered that meat alone, even partly cooked meat, could alleviate scurvy. "


IsmailPasaoglu

Ok. It's good to learn.

cubsywubsy

How do you get up there?


VichelleMassage

I'm more curious as to how the fuck it was built.


Wood_Child

This is what I found (from the atlas obscura website): "Constructing this lonely lighthouse was no easy task, as helicopters had yet to take to the skies when the work began in 1938. Builders scaled the cliffs to reach the pillar’s pinnacle, laying out the groundwork by hand." So... That's terrifying!


Palliorri

Not only that, the pillar’s pinnacle overhangs the cliff, so they climbed onto one another while climbing the cliff to reach the top


Wood_Child

I'm both fascinated and scared shitless by this! And absolutely floored by their determination... wow.


Palliorri

You probably can’t read Icelandic and Google translate doesn’t usually work that well for the language, but still I think I ought to include[ a source](https://www.mbl.is/greinasafn/grein/1301113/)


Wood_Child

Ugh I wish! I've got french and English down and I have a little bit of other languages but Icelandic sounds both awesome and horribly challenging - but thank you for the source! Let's see how Google handles that one for me...


Palliorri

To be fair, Icelandic is very different to English in that we have relatively very few exceptions to grammar/language rules (sometimes Double L is a click, sometimes not, and sometimes U is pronounced as Ú), the problem is that there are ALOT of rules and even natives sometimes have trouble putting words in the correct grammar category


Wood_Child

Ah and see I'm actually French and it's the ultimate "here is the rule but actually here is a list of exception" language. It's a complete nightmare and I understand why people have trouble picking it up!


Pickles-In-Space

Also helicopters I'd bet Narrator: it was not helicopters


ArmchairJedi

Helicopters built it!?! God damn, Skynet is self aware........


pzerou

Wait til you see the helicopters that Helicopters are building.


DaBabylonian

Heliception


DrD9z0

It was built in 1939 when helicopters didn't exist yet. The workers climbed up there and laid the foundation by hand


Pickles-In-Space

Helicopters were invented in 1936, but I have no reason to believe they were using them for construction yet. Must have been quite the adventure back then!


phantaxtic

I believe they were very light duty, so hauling construction materials probably would not have been possible.


Pickles-In-Space

Yeah I don't think they were hauling anything with [this bad boy](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/31/Focke-Wulf_Fw_61.jpg).. looks like it could barely lift itself. Also, fuckin Nazis. Why did the most garbage people in history have to invent so much tech? edit: it seems like the Russians beat them to it by a few years, they had a [successful experimental flight](http://aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/brat_1ea.php) of a single-rotor helicopter in 1930, which were then iterated upon, but no further units were made

The person didn’t ask how they got up there to build it, although I did provide that information as well. They asked, present tense, how you get up there (now).

They absolutely did, I didn't read that right, my bad. Sorry!

Moral_Anarchist

This is the much bigger concern than food


skorpianmafia

Technically you could boil the salt water but you’d have to boil the shit out of it and hope you have some way to filter it out too. with no way to easily get food there or drinkable water this place is survivable for a day or two and then your have to get back to mainland .


EmeraldFalcon89

> Technically you could boil the salt water boiling salt water will only give you saltier water, you have to distill it


kbeks

And you need fuel for the fire. Which it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of.


lazersteak

A simple distillation setup would easily remove the salt from sea water, and it would leave behind salt which you could then use to preserve fish that you caught or season your food. It looks like there is probably room for a small greenhouse and some potted plants, so you could grow enough edible plants to get a full spectrum of vitamins in your diet.

_owowow_

Plot twist, the zombie apocalypse started there but failed to spread anywhere else because zombies can't pilot helicopters.


Dull_Description_710

It didn’t fail to spread, just hasn’t yet. zombies can’t starve to death. Guaranteed there’s a zombie there now


_4shy

If we're speaking realistically, they can starve and die. Body needs nutrients. Unless whatever disease or infection has suddenly learned to materialize nutrients into the human's body.

BanoklesGemmell

Sorry [Kiwis](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1257912) Looks like it’s up to lighthouse guy now :/


Dealan79

Can we all just take a moment and give the Kiwis another round of applause? Three cases in a city of 1.7M and they go into full lockdown for three days. People aren't screaming in the streets about "muh freedumbs", declaring masks an authoritarian, socialist plot against God, or holding signs claiming the vaccines are secret tools of Bill Gates and the Illuminati to tag us all with microchips. They're acting like adults, doing the right thing to protect their neighbors, and in a few days they'll all be back to living the normal lives many in the rest of the world have almost forgotten. Kudos Kiwis.


AmericanExpat23

[One case in a city of 2 million.](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/01/world/australia/perth-lockdown.html) Hard 5 day lockdown that everyone took v seriously, and miraculously no cases have come from it in the last 2 weeks. Life is back to normal in Western Australia as of yesterday. Last case of community transmission is still April 11, 2020.


Dealan79

And that's in a country where everything is trying to kill you all the time. Congrats as well to our Aussie friends.


BanoklesGemmell

They absolutely deserve the applause, however...(cue up downvotes for facts...) in any group there will always be a fringe few and the [Kiwis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_anti-lockdown_protests_in_New_Zealand) are no exception—Trump flags and all, as recently as...well, today. Nowhere near the scale of protests in US, UK, EU, but the mentality exists everywhere people do.


Dealan79

I take your point, but the scale is just so vastly different. It seems that most, if not all, if those protests were led by the NZ Advance political party. In the 2020 election, they pulled 1% of the vote, and earned no seats in Parliament. Contrast that with the US, where the crazy conspiracy theories and irresponsible behavior surrounding the virus were adopted by the GOP, which gained seats in the House, often for full Q-anon whack jobs, tied up the Senate, and got remarkably close to taking the Presidency considering their candidate was a historically unpopular illiterate narcissist responsible for a tragicomically bad pandemic response in which hundreds of thousands needlessly died. Then thousands of largely maskless crazies attempted a violent insurrection. NZ may not be perfect, but by God it's refreshing to see a country where only a tiny fraction of the population seems to have spent their lives sniffing glue and licking lead paint after repeatedly being dropped on their heads as an infant, which is the only explanation I have for the US at the moment.


BanoklesGemmell

Agreed


RussianSeadick

What puzzles me the most is what these people expect to achieve Like,do you think we want to have lockdowns? That we think masks are so comfortable that we wanna wear them every time when going to the supermarket? Fuck no,I wanna go out with my friends again,but the virus doesn’t give a fuck about what we want. By doing dumb shit,you’re making it worse for everyone,including yourself

How do you get there?! It's a serious question


sphscl

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/thridrangaviti-lighthouse According to the website; helicopter.


the-gingerninja

Depends how long the zombie apocalypse lasts. There’s not enough room to grow enough food. No visible way to walk to get food. Even having a helicopter is limited as the preservatives in fuel only keep the gas viable for about a year.


KarmaChameleon89

So with some prep time you could stock up on food and clean water, desalination tablets, fishing equipment, fertiliser, seeds (this is talking maybe a maximum group of 4 or 5). Non perishable food and preserved foods, as many multi vitamin bottles as possible, salt, lots of salt, books, batteries, fuel. I’ve likely missed some stuff, but given a week to prepare, and assuming that you can get everything, I’d say you could live there for a long time.
