Wait, did we just establish Australia as a safe place to be?

[pisskop]

On the one hand we have zombies.
On the other we have vast temerature variations, dingos, s*p*iders, snakes, and any manner of disease; all of which would love to feast upon your organs.

[Flying Dice]

I'll take living with zombies over living in Australia, thanks.

[Loud Whispers]

I'd pick a fight with Charon over living in Australia, thanks.

Zombies are also doomed to failure by the single fact that their sole method of reproduction is also their main source of food is also their most dangerous predator.

Where else did i read that...

[Akura]

No, seriously...dust is like 90% dead skin flakes. AAAAAAHHHH ZOMBIE DUST

Which doesn't explain why a spaceship intended to nuke the sun is covered by almost a solid inch of dust in every compartment when it only had a crew of about 7 people, and all but one of them had been dead for several years, and the survivor was both insane and without skin.


Goddamn, Sunshine was an awful movie.

Wait, did we just establish Australia as a safe place to be?

They do have their own nuclear survival plan.

If I may inject srs bsniss in this conversation for a second.....

Seriously, get yo mind out of the gutter! Zombies are not going to be slow, shambling, undead corpses. How the hell is the realistic. Though, since zombies never existed, for all we know they may fly and shoot lasers out of there ass. But zombies are going to be Runners. The most realistic version of a zombie apocalypse I have ever seen was Zombieland. The most likely thing that will happen, is we get mutated rabies or some other diesese, that causes them to go insane, and get a bad case of the nommies. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO RUN(in the most likely scenario) AND THEY WILL BE ALIVE. Thats right, alive. That means that not only headshots, but bodyshots will work to kill or stop them. And, after 2 months to 1 year they will all starve to death anyways. SO the zombie apocalypse would happen, but it would not last forever, or will the dead be slow shambling corpses.

Those aren't real zombies, those are just crazy people.  Zombies are undead.

Not that I do not agree to some degree with you (that even 'dead' zombies may be capable of more than shambling under the correct conditions) but Zombieland?  Where they kill Bill Murrey and smoke pot and ride rides to escape zombies?  Really?

And ragers are not quite zombies... they are like living zombies who by all rights should be doing other survival things.  They are essentially cannibals.

The movies was shit, but the zombies were the most realistic I have seen

[Darvi]

zombies

most realistic

Yeah.

[pisskop]

A WEREZOMBIE!

[Graknorke]

A WEREZOMBIE!

But... they'd all be werezombies?

[10ebbor10]

I'd assume that the zombies would lack an immune system, else the virus, bacteria, toxin or parasite would come under attack often by the body's own defences, causing the zombie to either be damaged, or it would de-zombify itself over time.

It's perfectly possible for the virus/ parasite to hijack the immunesystem, or just not be detected by it. The immune system isn't perfect. (Though both options were the immune system is still active allow for vaccinations).

But yeah, it's unlikely zombies are ever going to work. It's much easier to just make a mostly passive infection, and having the panicking human handle the spreading it thing.

[GlyphGryph]

Again, the only REALISTIC sort of zombie is the classic Romero zombie.

There is no disease. No parasite. There is simply the fact that the dead have arisen.

They do not want to eat you. You are not food because they do not need food. They just want to kill you, directly or indirectly, and then you will become one of them.
