If Nature turned every animal against us would we survive?

If every single animal and insect on earth decided to make it their mission to kill humans would we lose the war?

Imagine a cavalry of kangaroos on horseback let alone the multitude of awesomely destructive combinations. I'd say we're fucked.

[bus driver]

animals - no
insects - yes

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'm sure someone will break out the ol' slide rule, but I don't think that's possible. I say that with the understanding that humans wouldn't be empty-handed(equipped) while fighting said enemies.

Gutter92 thread



I can't believe I'm gonna take this question seriously. If every other living thing came after us with no regard for its own life then we'd be overwhelmed and eventually lose. But if they still cared about their own survival as much as defeating humans then we'd eventually win. This is the kinda shit me and my friends would talk about when we were in elementary school

[jimo2305]

my dog would still love me <3

[CuckingFunt]

No. Not long term, at least.

Either they'd kill us all right away, or our short term survival would require us to kill enough animals/insects to irreparably damage the food chain, making long term survival untenable.

[phyzik]

We'd eventually lose in the end, even if we defeated them.

The ecosystem would be fucked.

[Frenzy]

We would lose even if we won cause us humans would kill ourselves cause we would no longer have mcribs.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Humans win.

Why? Because you can imagine winning. We are the only animals on this planet that can turn all thoughts into tangible realities. We can just live in glass bubbles in outer space, and pillage the ecosystem back on Earth for resources.

[CuckingFunt]

We would lose even if we won cause us humans would kill ourselves cause we would no longer have mcribs.

Yeah, right. As if McRib availability is at all dependent upon animals or any other food-like organic materials.

[JoeChalupa]

Our animal instincts would prevail.

Well, in the movie 12 Monkeys, there is a scene early in the movie where animals are "visiting" a town after busting out of a zoo

Pretty impressive :D

So we win and kill all/most of the animals and have to become vegetarians? I don't know, that seems like a pretty bitter loss to me.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Win.
:rollin

[Gutter92]

What exactly would turn all the animals against us?

Btw we'd win cause we can go to the moon and they can't...




Worst case scenario this guy follows us up, but no other species could so we'd be fine

Long term we would lose no shit because we can't just wipe out all animals and expect to survive.


However, there's no question we'd win a war against all other organisms on Earth. LOL, some of you really think we'd lose with all of the technology and weaponry we have?

Funny thought for a thread.

[BlackSwordsMan]

the obese would drop first and we'd be too scared to go outside and cut our lawn which is perfect stalking ground for lions
nah we'd be fuck

I tired one the other day and it was not to my liking. However I finished it and a few min later wanted to try another to make sure I didn't like it. :(

I mean, if every rhino and elephant came charging at whatever human strongholds we had, don't you think that shit would fall?

[BlairForceDejuan]

We'd continue to farm them just as we do now for food. If they refuse to mate with one another to deprive us of a food source, we will clone them and brainwash their young.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

All the ants would really fuck us

[Gutter92]

Yea, every rhino and elephant is gonna take a boat to get here from other continents as well? :lmao

not if we napalm them first

Does this include viruses, bacteria, and parasitical involvement? If so, nature can say, "We stackkkkkedddddddd!"

If it's just Animalia...we'll probably overcome the masses.

[mrsmaalox]

Kangaroos on horseback, monkeys in battle gear....so the animals would get themselves organized into armies with weapons and plans, they aren't just being regular animals any more? That's scary....

Probably just a couple of unarmed scorpions and a centipede could do me in :(

[Cry Havoc]

I mean, if every rhino and elephant came charging at whatever human strongholds we had, don't you think that shit would fall?

Nonsense. A charging rhino wouldn't seriously damage an M1A1 Abrams tank, to say nothing of a bunker with a foot of reinforced steel or titanium. Get enough metal and it just stops yielding to flesh and bone.

[CuckingFunt]

Probably just a couple of unarmed scorpions and a centipede could do me in :(

Be enough for anyone, really. If we're considering a hypothetical in which ALL animals and insects are specifically determined to end us, poisonous and/or disease carrying insects could easily get us in our sleep. Could probably wipe us all out before anyone even realized what was going on.

[Nathan Explosion]

Build the secret Moon and Mars bases we've been planning for 2012 but haven't told anyone about. Then fly there and nuke the Earth. We win.

Plus we get new housing.

Or we could napalm the shit out of the animals.

On a sort of related topic, yesterday at my store we were discussing if being at the store was the best place to be in a zombie situation. Wasn't there a topic about this?

Best realistic place or best "ideal" situation?

Realistically, it all depends on how much access you have to your own source of food, and how intelligent the zombies are. If you can grow your own food and they don't realize that food = humans, then way out in the country far away from civilization, preferably off the grid.

[ALVAREZ6]

I mean, if every rhino and elephant (btw, there aren't even that many of either of these creatures when put into perspective, they're endangered) came charging at whatever human strongholds we had, don't you think humans could blast them away with rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and other explosives?

LOL, even without these weapons, humans can easily build massive stone structures that no animal would be able to touch. Nothing new really. The romans could have done so also.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Pesticide son.

I will concede the fact that the quadrillion of insects could do some massive damage, however you are all forgetting humanity's trump card.

insects cannot be fully destroyed
over several generations (couple of weeks in insect terms lol) they evolve resistances to every pesticide you use on them

example
1) pesticide "antkill" is used

2) 99% out of a billion ants are killed by it 1 % is somehow immune

3) the offspring of that 1% get the immune trait from their parents and in no time you have another billion ants who don't give a fuck about "antkill"

4) develop something else-----------------------> and back to step 2 until infinity

GG humanity.

[CubanSucks]

FUCK THE INSECTS! If we could somehow make a compromise with the animals then we could create a coalition and all stomp the fuck out of those little bastards. Or we could just off ourselves along with the rest of the planet with the push of the big nuclear button so at least those little fuckers can't enjoy it after we're gone

[pawe]

Move out to the moon. Nuke earth. Come back and enjoy the mountains of meat grilled behind.

So when do they develop the immunity to being set on fire?

Already suggested that.

Back to this zombie thing, there are two set of circumstances that have to be discussed before coming up with a plan.

One, if we're talking short term invasion like Shaun of the Dead, then an HEB or better yet, Walmart might be your best bet. Lots of food, coolers and freezers to keep food edible for weeks, beds, sofas, entertainment and of course lots of guns, knives and ammo. You could do a lot worse than hiding out in a Walmart. Just barricade all the doors and you're set.

If we're talking long term like Zombieland/28 Days later, then I definitely suggest farm estate (at least 2 stories) with lots of open land. You can set up a perimeter, farm your land, and see any zombie coming from a distance from the highest point in your house. You'd almost never get caught by surprise.

Or if you're in England, take up residence in a castle, make sure the moat has water and there you go.

But I'd want to live in France if there was a zombie invasion. I defintely know where I'd go to live.

your zombie tangent isn't interesting

It wasn't directed at you, so you really didn't have to read it. It was directed to this guy.
