So this is going to be a what if scenario here. We used to have a bunch of them, but I am sure wolfe has archived them, so I will start a new one.
In this what if it is similar to any of the post apocalyptic movies, shows, books, etc where you are the last person alive. But what I am going to add is that you are also the only thing alive. So you find that there are no more animals, the trees and plants are dead, bugs, everything. For the purpose of keeping you alive though everything that is internal to you that keep you alive, such as the bacteria in your intestines, are still alive. All human made things remain functional, so you can drive around, use the Internet, or whatever. Also the Earth itself is still functional, so there will be seasonal changes, weather occurrences, etc. So the question is what would you do, how long do you think you could survive, what would you do to survive, etc?
For me I think I could live out the rest of my life barring any huge disease or accident that cripples or kills me. I figure that while I would soon no longer be able to eat things like vegetables or meats from stores since they would perish, I would be able to eat things from a can for a long time. For things I would do I am thinking I would try to learn to drive a huge boat, or maybe even an airplane, so I could travel all around and see the sights before the crumble into decay. It is also likely I would go insane without the companionship of even an animal friend, so if that were to happen then hopefully I would find some way to kill myself quickly if I still have the mental capacity to do so.
