The worst part of a viral apocalypse is that it takes a fuckton of stupid, unobservant and selfish people to spread it irreparably before it’s noticed. The best part is that, in the West at least, we have witnessed an adequate amount of aforementioned morons who’d do just that in our universe
Oh, if zombies are very slow-motion slow, blind & death, it takes at least 10 bites to infect you, and you basically have to help them move their jaw to actually bite you - we are stil not surviving the apocalypse.
We will however have to go to work through all if it.

“You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.”
Strangely enough, those “simple farmers” are those who will avoid you because they need to get the work done.
Unless they happen to be on SocialMedia and the propaganda algorithm wants them to be conspiracy theorists.
I’m just saying the vaccine to cure zombification is more dangerous than the zombie bite! I could get autism or something!
Seems like many people genuinely long for some kind of massive cataclysm that creates a Mad Max world. Kind of reminds me of some notable WWI veteran saying something like he rather enjoyed it. The difference is that he was looking back on stuff he’d actually done, and most of the people fantasizing are wannabees who wouldn’t last 5 minutes if the real thing happened.
my family used to run a business that imported products from american companies specialising in things like hand loading (basically making your own ammunition). just before we got out of the business, around 15 years or so, one of the bigger actors (starts with an H, guy named steve runs it), they introduced a zombie-themed line of products, including ammunition cases, fake blood spattered bandoliers, and targets.
just… human targets. with zombie print on them. for civilian use.
to say that they just did this in order to be able shoot people without consequence might be judging too harshly… if we hadn’t met steve.
Report the zombie to ICE as an illegal immigrant.
Ahahahaha xD
That’s genuinely the reaction when I pointed out how ridiculous it is for the military (or anyone really) to be overwhelmed by a rotting and slow-moving corpse. World War Z and I am Legend made the zombie apocalypse more believable.
You ought to play Dying Light. Freshly made zombies move fast, then slow down to a crawl. Also some mutate and come out at night to hunt.
I have the game on my backlog!
World War z had a good section on why conventional warfare vs zombies fails. (Headshot x volume > ammunition)
Probably a net benefit for the environment, too…
A super-win for biodiversity, the last hail Mary that somehow unexpectedly worked.
ah yes, ecofascism
But not seriously
Sometimes it feels like I’m the only motherfucker on the internet that doesn’t want humanity to die off.
What’s wrong with y’all?
We love nature and hate what humanity has become. Simple
pretty bizarre to see a zombie pop out and presume kt is the first and only zombie in the world
I dunno. It’d be nice to mix things up a bit. Find a whole new set of things to worry about.
Could just be a regular necromancy zombie.
It would also be so much very a lot eco friendly.
Accelerationism in a nutshell.
Literally not. Accelerationism is for speeding up things that will happen anyways, while here there is a choice between it happening and not happening at all.
It is specifically about causing an imagined future crisis to happen as soon as possible to get to the imagined golden age following it
Accelerationism is a range of ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems
Yeah this is first sentence of the wikipedia article about it. I mean its also kinda in the name “accelerate” implies there is something that already exists that people want to accelerate. So a preventable zombie apocalypse doesnt fit no matter which way it is framed.
