Plot twist: you wake up and the scientist takes the VR off and says “You lasted longer than we expected.”
"That's what she said" -michael
Plot twist scientist that was actually on recording tells you that you and 5 other people are the remaining people on earth
Plot twist. You wake up in a daze and through the door, you see your dead grandma shaking the scientists hand and he walks up to you and puts you back to sleep.
Nice 👍👌👍👌👍👍👍👌👍
I have *MANY* questions...
There was this tiny hobby farm on the edge of a town where I lived. The owner passed away and his tiny bit of livestock all got loose and were either killed on the road or eventually rounded up by animal control. Except for his chickens. The chickens didn't cross the road as it were...They moved into the woods and setup housekeeping. The town annexed land and a few more city blocks worth and built some affordable housing. And the chickens kept on keeping on. Nearly 40 years after their original owner died, the feral chickens were still hanging on after many generations of cats, dogs, foxes, and cars. I kinda respected that little flock of chickens. Tough...Survivors.
Pretty cool
The chickens didn't cross the road 😂😂😂 lol I love it! thanks for sharing!
That's inspiring
Roosters especially are surprisingly hostile. They have claws and can bite like anything else, plus the territorial behavior of a honey badger.
Life finds a way
I probably wouldn't live too long. Not because I wouldn't know how to forage for food and water but because I would be trying to fly jet's, drive a Nascar around, sail around on an aircraft carrier. I'm sure the jet would do me in first though.
Haha yep this would be me also
You could grab some seeds or trees from a nursery and survive off the land.
I'd be doing that too but first stop by the chemist for some pep pills and the bottle-o for some whiskey.
So you would go out doing what you love
@@ChineduOpara true that!
You would 100% go crazy trying to figure out why you were the only one spared.
Not me😁
I’d just tell myself “it was natural selection”
@@dastardlyruby74737
I would guess that everyone else won the Darwin Award... 😅
Either everyone else raptured and I failed..
Or
I was just the most important person in the world
No, I would spent every day of my life enjoying this fact.
You’re incorrect about the nuclear power plants. At least about most of them. Newer plants have automated emergency shut off procedures that stop all reactions within the fuel rods by inserting other materials between them. Instead of heating up they’d eventually cool off. And no radiation would leak out to the water or air. So a relatively new nuclear power plant would be your best bet for long-term electricity.
If you happen to have your own solar panels you’ll have power for years to come. And if you’re an electrician who lives near a solar farm you’ll have enough power to last you your whole life (assuming wild animals don’t eat you and you have enough herbivores around for you to eat)
Though of course you wouldn’t have the internet or any signal-based communication. You could still enjoy DVDs or VCRs tho if you can power them. So hopefully you like old movies.
You don't have to watch old movies you can watch some new ones if you can find them in stores
"You’re incorrect about the nuclear power plants."
Yep, as soon as I heard him talking about radiation contamination, I thought 'Oil and gas propaganda has gotten to them'.... More people die each year in the fossil fuel industry than the entire history of nuclear... Think about that, and wonder why we still have coal, oil and gas...
and the global warming.
@@NightmareRex6 I wonder what the people of Europe and the UK would make of your statement? Climate change, caused by global warming, is real my friend. It's inescapable and it's going to get a LOT worse before it gets better, if it ever does get better.
@@NightmareRex6 after a year with no other humans, global warming would not be a problem.

@@redneckshaman3099 Oh
after enduring a tedious Monday, I’m totally ok with this scenario.
😂
Me too
Ok.
same and i’ve got a lot of hw
I already live like this.
How would you know you’re the only person left? I would spend the rest of my life looking to see if anyone else had survived. I’m not sure I could ever quite give up on that.
You'd end up finding that weird person no one friended in grade 8, the one who smelt like fish
And find they are a model

Hey here's something that reminded me of you
odds are tho by the time you might find some one you would have lost the ability to talk cause if you dont talk for a long period of time you're vocal cowrds actually disentagrate
Our hero seems to have a surprising will to live despite losing literally everyone she loves

@@ChineduOpara what?
@@matthewweitzner8956 🤷🏾♂️😂
@@ChineduOpara hahahaha that's solid gold right there.
This is the most underrated comment ever, it’s hilarious
On the basic level, those of us who lived in small towns through natural disasters would have no trouble surviving for quite a while. You discover that many things we think are important for our lives to function or make us happy aren't so necessary. Your perspective changes; you feel at ease without the noise. After a time of hard work cleaning up, once the lights come back on, you feel some relief but also a sense of loss because life gets overwhelming again.
This is so VERY true.
Reminds me of the walking dead 😶🤨
Like.. food and water & dick?
Nice pfp ;)
As someone transitioning to a Minimalist Traveler lifestyle, I support this comment
I would raid a pharmacy, get super high of the best stuff, and jump off a tall building (if I don't OD.) Either way, I'll be dead within a week.
Now that's a fun way to go 😂😂😂
How sad
good answer, humanity is dead anyway without a fertile man and woman surviving anyway, so why not go out with a bang...
@@3182john my comment is sadder than being the last person on earth? Yeah, no.
😂😂😂
This actually gave me some peace. If humans are to face some mass extinction event, the earth will not only recover, but thrive.
Yes
Indeed
Very true.
Yea but I enjoy living so no mass extinctions for me thanks
I literally imagine this scenario before bed every night. Then think about what I would do if I didn't have to go to work in the morning.
Watch tons of TH-cam haha
Take it easy lol hit the gym lift the weights, feed ya self n play video games in the white house all day long instead of going to work
You guys keep getting nuclear power plants wrong.
The pumps aren't necessary to maintain the core cooled to prevent meltdown. With Pressurized Water Reactors especially like you showed, the core can be cooled by natural circulation even if multiple Steam Generator legs are destroyed by an accident.
In this kind of scenario, when power is lost or a trip (SCRAM) condition is automatically triggered, the control rods automatically drop into the reactor and shut it down. They require active power to hold them up and out of the reactor. No power, they drop into the core and it shuts down. The left over heat causes a natural circulation flow through the steam generators to cool off the core and will go into a cold shutdown state without anyone even touching the system the entire time.
This kind of design works even if there is huge damage to most of what's inside the containment building. With no damage whatsoever, the plant would safely cooldown without any problem. So, that you can finally understand...no boom boom, no radiation, okay? You're supposed to be an informational channel. It's okay to not understand something. People ususally train for years to be able to understand their specific power plant. But, if you don't know something, could you please refrain from perpetuating the ignorant laden fear of nuclear power already? This kind of stuff is why nuclear power gets such a scary image in the general public.
If you REALLY want to learn, talk to some people or contact INPO for some information.
Sometimes, the videos are more story than informational, even with my limited knowledge of nuke stations, I know of the SCRAM system to make the reactors fail safe (hence the term "failsafe") so they don't go all Chornobyl or Fukushima on us, but then, the idea of every human being bar one vanishing into thin air happening isn't exactly something that's a reality, so, I just see it as a story rather than anything to take under advisement... :)
Honestly they get a lot of stuff correct already they're one of my favorite channels so a little something off here and there is fine
It’s just a mistake nothing big though this is more of a story not to mainly inform people.
So, why Fukushima blow up when the pump remained without power?
I think he mentioned the failsafe early on, but nuclear plants take near a decade for the rod to cool completely, leaving time for unmaintained systems to fail without any oversight.
Introverts like me have been training for this type of isolation all our lives!
faaaaacts!!!
fr
The extroverts will lose the will to live on in this scenario.
I know.
Seems great
Plenty of natural resources and tonnes of animals and nobody to bother me 😊
@@marshapelo9830everyone would lol only a matter of time
If I were in a scenario like that, I would first acquaint myself with the answers to the most problematic questions, such as: What is inside Area 51? What secret technology have the US, Russia, and China been working on? What lies in the areas that were once off-limits to visitors? etc. If I anyway had to die, why should I waste my time just trying to survive without any reason?
Absolutely.
Snooping :p
I am quite sure the most biggest secret ever would be destroy before you can ever find out
(According to the scenario there probably would be explosions, burning or anything...)
How do we learn how to drive a plane?
Fun fact: ancient buildings like the great pyramids or the colosseum and so on will actually last hundreds and in most cases thousands of years longer then modern buildings
Yes. I can tell since they were made hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
On the other hand, modern concrete constructions will not wither way any faster than the pyramids of South America. The ones covered in rain forest that are most easily spotted using satellites.
This reminds me of a great book (from its wiki):
Earth Abides is a 1949 American post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by George R. Stewart. The novel tells the story of the fall of civilization... Set in the 1940s in Berkeley, California, the story is told by Isherwood Williams, who emerges from isolation in the mountains to find almost everyone dead.
For myself, I'd have a few years in me barring some accident. But at age 63 I do have some medications that I will need for a full long life. I won't drop dead in a month without them, but probably in a few years? So my last years would be of exploring in wonder at being the last man alive. I'd write a journal and record my thoughts. The last man, writing the last book...
I read that book...once. It was SO depressing! tbh, I preferred the 2 part radio version I heard. I think it was on Escape?
The dogs of Chernobyl are an excellent example of what happens when pets are left behind in an evacuation. There's still tons of them surviving, though there's really not many old dogs. Also there wasn't actually many small dogs, or oversized. Medium dogs that sort of became there own breed with similar features and color patterns. But they are quite smart, begging from the "dark tourist" but avoiding any humans in uniform. There's a pretty interesting documentary about these "radioactive" pups.
Man I cherish my alone time and I love it but being the last person in earth would take alone time to the next level
@@JeikuAnimeReview Maybe for a while, but I feel like I would slowly descend into madness eventually.
I’m the same, and I get exactly what you’re saying.
I’m sure my wife would still find a way to nag me to death from the beyond
Lol
Facts
Lol
Reminds me of the old special life after people, great video
I'd go to university libraries and pick up all the books on electrical engineering and renewables I could find, and farming too. I'd spend a few years setting up a small power station
Thank you it's very informative.. but from the title I also expected a short psychological rundown of this (horrible) situation based on reports from past stranded people etc. Again, thank you for a very good channel!
Better than being the guy from The Twilight Zone with all those books but no glasses.
Moral of the video: if humans didn’t exist life would actually be good
Responsible Humans would be just fine.
Imagine going outside and there's no politics telling you what you can and can't do or to behave left or right, just survival to either get right or wrong.
yeah, but for animals and nature, not for humans
I'm convinced the monsters in Minecraft are digs at alphabet agencies and bureaucrats.
Don't worry they'll release more viruses to curb the population in the future.
If that's the only way to grow a full beard, then I'm okay with it.
🤣🤣🤣
My wife would never let me but sounds like your in the same situation lol
Some farm animals would do well, but sheep would eventually die off because they’ve gotten to the point where they HAVE to be sheared by humans because their wool doesn’t stop growing. It would keep going until it was tugging at their skin and they’d eventually be killed off by others or die because of the massive weight they have to carry. Looking up abandoned sheep or overgrown sheep on google can give you an example of what I mean.
What about the psychological factor of being alone
@@JeikuAnimeReview lol I'm faded and that made me laugh frs. you're right. life's too short
Just go for a walk or something
I suppose that would depend entirely on the kind of person you are. Some people cope with solitude much better than others. There are people who choose to be hermits and never interact with others. Obviously, they are an extreme example and relatively few in number, but they do exist. You could also just learn to cope, at least for a while, by reading books and talking to your dogs. They would still be good bois.
How far that would take you depends on how well you cope with solitude, though. You might lose your mind within a few years and become suicidal and decide to end it, if you were severely and negatively affected by it, but it's possible that you learn to cope and adjust too.
I live alone. all I wanted one day would be to wake up and not have to talk to anyone for days, months, years or even the rest of my life. but unfortunately I have to work to pay the bills.
Last Man on Earth made this situation not seem this intense.
That's cuz that show was primarily a comedy
@@ChineduOpara it was a joke
Freaking LOVE this channel and weird history you both are some of the best fact and history channels on TH-cam good job 👍
This was surprisingly well thought out. Good on you.
Mega plot twist: The second you die, the rest of humanity return, unaware any time had passed.
Like it..
The rest of us just move from civilised earth to decayed earth returned to nature...
There are microorganisms and somewhat larger creatures that have evolved to eat and digest plastic. There's a lot of energy in plastic, which has a great deal of carbon in it. So plastic may become much scarcer within 200 years.
nice to know
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
When it comes to fuelling vehicles and off-grid power generators, diesel's the way to go, that stuff can last for years, and with a traditional style diesel engine (before all the adblue common rail injection DPF nonsense), they'll run on just about anything oily, whether diesel fuel, vegetable oil paraffin (kerosene), home heating oil, engine oil, etc., and bar the veg oils, the fuels they can run on will store for a very long time compared to the ol' gasserleans, if properly contained of course... :)
get a tesla and a few solar pannels
@@ogge8375 Agreed!
For much of the video I was pondering how electric vehicles already exist and are apart of life, but when it comes to doom videos people still like to avoid their existence (probably because it would make for a less interesting tale, like how zombie stories where people were not constantly fighting for petrol because they had electric would easily become dull in comparison).
Guess the infinite supply of 80s F series trucks with 6.9s might actually be useful now.
@@flackstar007 Batteries degrade over time. Lithium battery is ducked after 10-15 years. EVs would be operational for longer than ICE cars but woul die off soon enough. Other option would be bicycles and their parts. For chain lubrication candles (boil the chain in them) and for grease you could try butter or something. Just loot them bicycle stores. Tyres can also be stored for long time if not under UV light.
Diesel the old ones still need to overhaul injection pumps and calibrate, do you think you got skill to do that 😌
last person on earth ? I would make my time really useful and try everything to preserve the continuation of our human race. I might go to a clinic where a man's genetic material is preserved and establish a successful fertilization. When I secure myself of good health and stock up resources, Creating life would be my goal.
Good luck doing so with no experience
Then that would mean everyone is brothers and sisters 😱
So you'd turn humanity into a species of inbreds?
@@Syv_ well, in his defense, he would have access to libraries and other stores for books. This is assuming they didn't get burned and destroyed.

I've been training my whole life for stuff like this. Reading books and practicing survival. Training with firearms. Carpentry. Medical classes. Bought a property in the country with a wood stove, well with a manual pump attachment, a large greenhouse and livestock. Now I'm married with kids. I don't know if I could go on without them. If I had them it would be great though.
1. Ever seen the classic Twilight Zone episode, “Time Enough at Last”? Def worth seeing
2. Your tropical plant growth timeline is off - plants will reclaim suburban areas within a year or two due to humidity and rapid growth rates. Example: I saw a university building [~14N lat] nearly completely submerged under new plant growth. I asked my brother what happened. He said the building, which had housed the uni’s electron microscope, had burned about one year before my visit. One year was all the time nature needed to nearly bury the building in vegetation.
You’re my favorite channel!!! I love your videos !!
The more you love your decisions the less you need others to love your decisions. ♡
It would depend on the person tbh and where your at, cuz so many scenarios could play out in many ways.
Yes. Just imagine that that person is in a plane 😂😂😂
you will die either way , this one just the most postive
you could be on a plan when it happen
or you could be injure because of wild animal and bleed out in agony

Im a little suprised infographics didnt consider the psychological affects of being alone... I would go crazy if I can only interact with dogs
Like 2020 covid lockdown. The world over: "we're depressed!"
Me: in heaven
From time to time I watch these types of videos. My favorite being one from history channel about pandemics from about 10 or so years ago. But this is the first I’ve come across that mentions nuclear power plants. Good stuff.
If I was the last person on Earth ..... I would get one of those foam IM #1 fingers and yell... IM NUMBER ONE !! RULER OF EARTH !! I TOTALLY RULE !!! Then spend time seeing if I was really the only person left. ROAD TRIP !!!
Such an NPC comment 💀
Ideally move to a city that is Colder than warmer and next to a river fed by a glacier or mountain water. The water will remain fresh for life while your can put your food supplies in plastic, submerged in the chilly mountain water to keep it refrigerated for longer. While that food lasts, learn to farm and hunt. Collect seeds from local plants or garden supply shops and spread the seeds out and about in a vast area so in case it catches disease, All the crops won't be lost. Shoes, clothes etc is also super important before they wear out over a decade.
I've been watching your channel for a few days now before i go to bed and i would like to say you've given me just the right amount of doom and gloom to make my sleeping dreams fantastic. I can't wait to get back to sleep to enter my fabulous dreams again. Thanks.
I've often fantasized of a world with no one but me. No more Monday through Friday grind. Just survival. Was lucky enough to experience 3 months of this very thing.
Introverts: Oh no!
Anyway…
U realise it's no illusion,
Only U remain,
Smashed & torn reality,
Now face the unbearable pain.
I would immediately go on a search to find and defeat Thanos...
Good luck with that. Just remember: go for the head
Inevitably
All it takes is a pack of wolves running up on you while your drunk or something
I would finally be able to take a nap
This dude gets it. 👊🏼

Butane in lighters wont just suddenly vanish , Its a compressed gas and the lighter would have to be physically smashed to allow the gas to leak into the air and evaporate away.
Even if it did, they would still spark. And its not that hard to start a fire with a spark and steel wool or a bunch of other items. Still, I bet if you had a few thousand bic lighters, some would somehow still be working in 40+ years.
Some industrial and nuclear facilities would be able to run automatically without human presence for months or even years in my opinion,thanks to sophisticated computer and power supply systems they have.
Nuclear reactors are designed to be mostly automated. They have protocols to shut down safely by raising and lowering rods in specific combinations to keep them from a critical meltdown. When the cooling water has completely evaporated it will inevitably leak radiation into the atmosphere for hundreds of years. but that would still take a long time.. several months to possibly to years depending on the size and number of rods and the cooling tank.
So basically the earth would heal and live longer. ♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'd just let myself die, all that waits for me is chaos and destruction.
true, there should at least be one more person with you otherwise it's not worth it to live. No man is an island
Would be my dream come true
This is beautiful. The world needs this to happen.
Great Video
I have one thing to say about this: It is quite possible that crows will take over the Earth after us instead of apes. They already can share their knowledge via language, use tools and are very intelligent.
I think a less misleading title for this video would be "What if everyone on Earth except you suddenly disappear"
IKR
Two minutes in and I hear “Nuclear power plants would begin shutting themselves down” no, SOME of them, the most advanced, would. There are still hundreds of NPP’s that are either barely on par with safety regulation or just straight-up not adhering to the regs, the end result of that is a meltdown of tens if not hundreds of NPP’s, leaving Earth uninhabitable for centuries.
Awesome video
My New Fav Channel🔥🔥🔥
Some people can do it, others can not.
A bit sad video. Especially when watching it on the hottest day of the year (UK).
You made particularly clear how our wellbeing is depending on the work of others. This is why wars are the biggest evil in the world...
I love this premise
3:20 honestly there's so much stuff going to happen that it's just immediately VERY freaky to find yourself in such a situation because that is going to be extremely scary to deal with imagine a group lionesses just walking in a city block a couple streets from you away bro 🤐
Not to mention your lucky if you survive that long and have not gone insane from extreme loneliness.
I think that those areas that were during the night-side of the planet, there the entire cities and nations were at a low-power-consumption level, so I think nuclear power plants and renewables could sustain the energy networks for months or even years to come, before the degrading power-lines would cut the network into ever smaller bits.
First thing I would do is head to the library research the most quick and painless way to die, then head (probably) to the pharmacy to get what I needed. This is the backup plan, just in case I struggle in survival and my only other option is to die slowly. Dismal yes, but quite frankly a slow death is not a scenario I want to deal with.
I'd hit up an Amazon warehouse...
I dont know what to do great videos btw
I'd go to the local grocery stores and grab all the meat and charcoal briquettes and find a ton of smokers and start making as much pemmican and jerky as I possibly could. Lol.
this is my perfect life, no seriously I'd love to be the last alive. Just imagine, No competition, nothing, just you and wildlife. WONDERFULL!!
I wouldn’t want too be the last person alive. Just imagine never being able too speak too anyone ever again that alone for me would make life depressing
So essentially, the world would be better off if we all just disappeared 🤷♂️
Everyone knows this

Who's laughing at the cat lady now she has a whole army at her disposal!
These videos make you realize how close everything is to going up in flames but people being responsible is what stops citys and towns from going up in flames eveyday
Most houses would catch on fire due to a stove/oven being left on.
If there's nothing stopping you from building an entire wolf pack at this point some dogs most dog will still be loyal to humans in the beginning,I would definitely not underestimate that resource. The dogs are made to bring in on stuff back so if you can train your dogs to hunt then you're pretty much set, and this is coming from a vegan which so would probably keep dogs around for company and protection
Edit: crazy how y'all do end up mentioning the Wolfpack idea never mind LOL
Honestly I'd love this lol
More!!! 😊
Honestly being a massive extrovert with a very deep love for live music- I’d probably lose my mind not being able to go to concerts or raves anymore. All my friends and family gone, no new strangers to meet… I have no doubt I’d slowly lose my mind surrounded by a massive pack of like 50 dogs that I used to try to replace human social interaction 😂😭
Yay peace and quiet at last!!

I live in a bigish town next to a city and I would go to my Walmart a block away and block all entrances so nothing can get in and then would make it my home. Walmart has tons of useful stuff like food, water, camping equipment, toys, and much more to use for a comfort life. Also near my house is a lot of bakeries and other stuff for more supplies. In my town there is mostly two-four lane roads meaning fires will not spread as far like a dense city would.
note: I would be chilling in a Walmart bunker eating canned ravioli whilst drinking a ensure(a drink with lots of vitamins in it)
Best apocalypse movie I've watched in a while
Realistically if I was the last person on earth I'd want dogs for protection, transportation, company, tracking. I'd set myself up in a military base. Good fencing for defense or pens of animals alot of weapons and food aswell as likely being in a good position for seeing surroundings and likely having power much longer and secure places to hind form any explosions. I'd definitely want to be somewhere warm/tropical and close to the ocean for fishing. Being in a military base I would have a good leg up for durability so if I maintained it well I'd probably be quite comfortable all things considered. Keep different breeds of dogs for different jobs and likely as he said collect cows pigs and chickens. There would be so many clothes and blankets I don't see the use of sheep other then for more food but I think they would be more work then they are worth having to sheer them. Realistically you want easy animals low mantance and healthy. That's what I'd do
Is this the real kfc? If so I love your chicken 😀
