What's your plan for the Zombie Apocalypse? - Lemmy.World

For the sake of the plot, choose whichever zombie type fits your plans the best.

I’m of the firm “no magic zombies” camp.

If the zombies aren’t magic, they aren’t going to last long, whichever form of zombie they are. Wait inside a few days, most of them should be dead or immobile.

If a zombie loses blood, they aren’t going to keep walking, their muscles won’t work without blood.

If you have a strong door, zombie arms will break before the door breaks.

Dehydration. Organisms need water to function at all, let alone move, and zombies aren’t big on water fountains.

I see zombies as dangerous for a few days, with their senses failing so they can’t track you effectively for the majority of the outbreak, then it’s over.

Anything other than that scenario is a magical zombie, who can move without energy, function without a body, or unrealistically mutate.

I love zombie movies and comics, but for real real, no magic zombies.

Have you read Mira Grant’s Newsflesh series? It’s the ultimate realistic zombie story.
ooh, no, thank you very much, I’ll check it out now.
If memory serves, she actually collaborated with the CDC to create a disease model that could realistically exist.

very cool, I found it, I’ll be reading it after a couple books I’m working through right now.

thanks!
