Thread: What would you do as the last person in the world?

I'll assume as most others have that there was an element of preparation here.

First an foremost would probably be acquiring a storage facility with fuel reserves and extremely well regulated environment for preserving my giant collection of update electronics and books. In this sense the next 40-60 years (asssuming I could even live that long with little to no medical knowledge) could easily be spent interacting with artifacts from the present.

All of the english wikipedia only takes up 11 full bookshelves. I imagine with access to libraries all across the country acquiring useable knowledge on most topics would be relatively easy.

The next point to make is whether animals exists. Dropping all elements of realism fo a while, would you still have pets? If so i think survival would not be a problem. Domesticated cats and dogs especially provide a comfort at least comparable to that of a human.

In terms of hobbies, I'd probably sway away from computers etc for self preservation. Traditional arts such as weaving, spinning, jointery are much more useful as well as interesting when the only thing to show for is improving you own comfort in life.

I'd probably spend my final few years building. So when I'm on my death bed, dying in agony because of a terrible stomach ulcer I can watch my gigantic 2km long rube goldberg machine go from start to finish whilst listening to the benny hill theme tune.
