What would you do if you woke up one day to find you were the last person alive?

Hope that someone notices and gets me professional psychiatric help.

In all seriousness, I likely blow my brains out. I wouldn't want to live in a world without other people.

Mass extinctions don't happen like that. Conditions that lead to mass extinctions don't happen suddenly but are a collection of events.

I would say if 45 gets stupid and fucks up our planet with a nuclear war, I hope I am directly under that nuke so I get vaporized and don't feel it. 

I wouldn't want to live in the aftermath of a global nuclear war regardless of how many humans are left over. Ground wars alone, from what I see in human history are horrible enough by themselves.

OK, one question to the OP... Are the GPS satellites still working?

Also, we do know that all power stations, nuclear power stations will stop working shortly afterwards if not meltdown!
And how do I get a hot meal? It's not like I'm ever gonna run out of bic lighters but ...

No, I have nice tits, too!

Great. Now I'm masturbating again. Gee thanks I was really deprived of that Dodgy

Seriously guys... what would you do? c172 gave a serious answer. He said he would hang out at the supermarket. I don't get the part about then dying because no agriculture though.

Oh I see, the food would run out.

Okay let's reframe the question:

You have infinite food, drink, oxygen. You are able to live your whole life perfectly healthily. At least physically healthily. You just have no people or animals to associate yourself with. You're completely alone.

I say at least physically healthy because one of the questions is... would you go insane? Would you get depressed? Would you eventually commit suicide? Would you end up drawing a face on a football ala Wilson from Castaway?

Would you be bored forever?

Would life be meaningless without persons and animals there to keep you company?

Or would you find ways to entertain yourself and be happy while completely and utterly alone?

One of the reasons I say this is because I often feel like this way already despite people and animals being available. So finding the answer to finding meaning in my life even in this hypothetical scenario where I really was 100% alone will make it a hell of a lot easier to find meaning in my life when I already feel that way a lot of the time.

This is just it... I don't know the answer to the question. Maybe I could be very happy in this hypothetical situation. Maybe I couldn't. I can't decide if it's my heaven, my hell or I don't care either way. I have no idea. Legitimately. Life doesn't seem to have any feeling or meaning for me anyway. And I'm not sure if it ever has . . . that's all starting to seem to be an illusion.

One thing is for sure... I'm not depressed. I'm not happy. I'm not unhappy. I don't even feel empty in a bad way. I don't seem to be feeling any emotion at all. And I'm starting to contemplate whether this hypothetical situation if realized would make me happier, less happy or even have no effect either way at all.

In the past this is what I thought. But now I'm not so sure. I don't seem to really feel anything either way whether I'm alone or in company. Life feels really unreal. So much so that all my memories of my feelings in the past feel illusory. I'm fine. And the fact that I am fine isn't a presence of positive emotion... it's an absence of negative emotion. I'm functional but I'm not even bored. That's about it really.

I enjoy being alone.

I would explore houses and get to know who people were by what I discover in their homes.

Would you eventually get supremely bored and miss conversation?

Shit.  I just realized that if I am the last person on earth there would be no tits left in the world.  Not worth living.

Nope.

I am not sure if I would either.

At times I feel like I am more needy for conversation than anyone.

Then I feel like I never need it.

Because I wonder if all this "I feel" is unreal.
