If you the only person on earth what will you do?

Question

If you the only person on earth what will you do?

Answer 1

First thing i would do is steal a Ferrari and drive around the streets like a madman, it would be much fun.  I would break into area-51 to see if theres anything of interest there, and i would also break into any other secretive government, or spiritual places, ancient tombs, ect. to see if i can uncover any hidden secrets or technologies.  I would fly myself to all the countries i would like to visit, then i would probably eventually kill myself, as i would be so bored being the only person left ont he planet, or probably just wait until old age to die, i don't know.

Answer 2

Get drunk

Answer 3

Answer 4

be bored. there would be no one to Y! Answer.  :(

Answer 5

Interesting question, if one thinks about it almost everything we do relates to other people somehow.

I'd fine a nice place to live, surround myself with luxuries, try to set myself up so that all my needs would be satisfied (generators, food, medicine, etc.) ..then spend my life gardening, playing computer games, and just appreciating the beautiful world I live in even if there was no one to share it with. I'd have a bunch of cats too.

I'd likely go nuts sooner or later.

There was actually a neat SF movie, The Quiet Earth,  made with this premise, I recommend it:

Answer 6

be bored as h**l  

Answer 7

Well, seeing how I wouldn't have the resource/knowledge to confirm that I was the only one on the planet, I would imagine a lot of my first days in such a scenario would involve being "in denial" and/or "in search of" my own species.  After enough frustrations, and lack of evidence of other humans, I might eventually enter a stage of "acceptance" where I would finally realize that my lifespan would be the conclusion of the human species.

Once all that is out of the way, however, I can only speculate how I would behave.  Perhaps I would squander a lot of time, looking to do various activities to keep myself occupied.  Perhaps I would create a monument of humanity, to create at least a rudimentary sense of immortality (seeing how reproduction would be impossible at this point).  Perhaps I would just spend my days catching up on all the things in my ever-growing "to do" list.

I would like to think I would do something special, or extravagant, or plant a "time capsule" of some sort for anyone or anything that may evolve or visit this planet in the future, but the truth is (knowing myself) I would probably procrastinate too much on this project, and only have it partially completed by the time my days come to end.  

The truth is, I don't know.  Most likely a combination of the things listed above would occur, but I never really can say how I  will respond under extreme circumstances such as this, I have no pre-existing life experience prescedent to extract and honest answer to this question.

Answer 8

Die, I suppose.

Answer 9

Sorry, I'm going to give you a serious answer. If I were really the last human alive, since I'm a male and a womb is still required to produce a child, I'd be SOL on that account (I suppose a woman of child-bearing age could seek out some frozen sperm someplace, and perhaps her female offspring could do the same, and there might be a hope to re-introduce enough of a gene pool for humanity to go on).

So, assuming I knew for a fact that I was truly the last human alive (it is so hard to prove a negative. One would surely spend the rest of their wretched existence searching) -- assuming that, I would try to collect some records for the ages and preserve them for the possible visit of interstellar archaeologists. What other purpose for living would there be at that juncture?

Answer 10

I would be **THE GREAT EVIL OVERLORD OF THE EARTH!!!**

and then I'd raid a Blockbusters and watch a movie...

Answer 11

I'd do as pleased me most.

Answer 12

Find out what killed everyone else and then right it down in some permanent form... maybe when the d**n dirty apes take over they will find the message and avoid it themselves.

Answer 13

Meh, I'de do everything I've always wanted to do...try to create new life...if that failed I would go to find the tallest building in the world jump off it and die :)

Answer 14

I dunno i'm kind of the anti-social type so i would probably find the first cop car and take a dump on the windshield, then i would go to every place in town that fired me for no reason or laid me off because i was getting close to a pay raise and burn those buildings down, then i would raid a gun shop and get some hand guns and a ton of ammo and take a car and drive around shooting the place up, then i would go to the closest bar to the last place i crashed a car and get loaded and then shoot the place up and then burn it down as well, then i would to the nicest hotel and throw up on the front desk and check myself in and find a nice room and pass out, then the next morning i would pick up a news paper on the way back from the liquor store and read to see if there was any warming about what happened, then if i didn't find anything i would get drunk and go on a drunken rampage again but if there was a clue as to what happened i would owe it to myself to try and find more info, but i would bring beer and a dog whistle and a bag of catnip, because sometime the pets people keep are going to turn wild again and i would to have every edge.

Answer 16
