You've just been bitten by a zombie, what do you do?

Ok, I’m not quite clear on something. Once you’ve been bitten, does killing yourself do any good? And are we assuming you’ve been bitten by the type that passes zombiism that way?

If you kill yourself without destroying your brain, you’ll eventually reanimate.
If you destroy your own brain, then you’ll stay dead dead.

I don’t want to take this too seriously, but… are you serious?

You sound like you’re saying you don’t care now if though action or inaction, whilst you’re alive, you trigger an event that costs the lives of others, so long as it all plays out after you’re gone?

If I’m alone, I might just wait it out and go zombie. I like PacifistPorcupine’s armored zombie approach.

If I were with a group, I’d hide the wound until I could find a way to commit suicide while taking a bunch of zombies with me, making my death at least a noble gesture, if not an accomplishment that will make a difference in the long run. (Without me, the rest of the group is screwed! :p)

Since zombies don’t exist I’d simply wake up and remind myself to lay off the Worcestershire sauce.

Seriously…43 responses/posts to this quesion???Are we all in 7th grade here?? Important/pertinent questions here are mostly ignored, and then THIS?? Really…makes me wonder what kind of people are out here resonding to this board…:frowning:

I’d go out and buy a lot of video games, perhaps send my cv to the local supermarket.

Well, this is IMHO, not General Questions. I think this could be generalized to any situation where you know you’ve been infected by a fatal and highly contagious disease. Do you hang on to the bitter end? Are you willing to remove yourself from the possibility of infecting others? What would you do? Seeking opinions. Okay, it’s couched around movie zombies, but most highly infectious, fatal diseases don’t have the simple rules that movie zombies have.

I like to think I’d destroy my brain before taking a chance on infecting my loved ones. I don’t think I could dive into a wood chipper, but could probably eat a shotgun.

Yes, we heard about what your stepson called you.
Nice car, though.
:wink:

Dude, South Park isn’t real.

That’s the joke.

Perhaps those questions are unanswered, because no one has an evidence-supported answer to give.
This hypothetical is easier to answer and doesn’t require any cites, hence it getting replies.

Yeah, I figured that out. :slight_smile:

:rolleyes:

It all depends on what you consider to be important/pertinent now, doesn’t it? As for what kind of people are here on this board…seeing as you are one, it doesn’t say much for the over-all knowledge base, does it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey, it keeps us off the streets.
