Poll - what’s most likely to cause the human species to go extinct?

[Nutterbuster]

The veneer of civilization is thin.

Hey...wait a minute!! I know that phrase!

 

[Jay_Disarray]

Two words...intergalactic bypass.

We're going to have to keep an eye on the dolphins, if they decide to leave we're all screwed

"So long, and thanks for all the fish"

 

[SNIPERBBB]

Perfect! I'd thrive for sure. Hillbillies unite!

On a serious note, I voted virus. The world is playing a dangerous game right now and all it takes is one slip with anything nuclear or a manufactured virus. My fear is WWIII and nasty Bio-warfare.

Chernobyl is vastly overrated..

And we're already on WW3 , at best cold war 2

Not just the skills. But without industrialization of things needed for survival (food and shelter and clothing) there's not enough resources to go around for 7 billion people. I think the first wave of chaos would knock about about 20-40% of the population in about 5-10 years. People have no concept of how much of food production is a result of the infrastructure we've developed. It's not just the amount of food capable of being produced. It's that the mechanism to produce and then distribute goes away without web and power. You're right.

People have been lulled into a false sense of security. The veneer of civilization is thin.

This where someone who can hunt, trap, fish, and build things will survive and others will wish they had learned to hang from a tree with a diaper while shooting a bow lol

First thing however is to survive the initial hordes of the purge.

I was jut having this discussion with someone last evening. Imagine the calamity that would befall our society if the world wide web suddenly went away. No utilities, no food distribution, no gasoline, no manufacturing . . . . the list goes on and on. We'd be suddnely thrust back into the mid 1800's leaving most without the skills necessary to survive.

I wonder how long all my milk/orange juice cartons of ice would last after the power was out.

Yes. People will just shoot you and take your bounty.

I’m heading for the most uninhabitable places possible for a few years. As far from anyone that doesn’t share my blood as I can be

Portland huh?

Easy to pick on the libtards and city slickers. But most country boys are more like them than they are hardened and seasoned survivors.

Not we've seen hardened and seasoned survivors since wagon trains headed west.

Is that anything like Gastric bypass?

Don't worry your soul will live somewhere forever.

So you’re going to California? Asking for a friend lol

 

[Nutterbuster]

Absolutely. You'll want your towel handy for both events

Are you expressing confidence in humans or lack of it?

Just saying. I’ll quit worrying about my sales quota if we are going to devolve in the next few months.

I’m suggesting that if we lost the “world wide web” mankind would prevail.

Preppers get a bad rap. I’m just saying they are probably closer to the amount of brain space that should be devoted to a reset than folks who don’t even consider it.
