Zombies aren't immortal...It's an assumption that a lot of people posting here make but it's rather stupid...Think about it...Zombies are made of cells just like you and I. If they don't get any nutrients within the same span of time as a living human, GUESS WHAT? Their bodies will fail. No more ATP you say? Aww, that's too bad for you Zombo the starving zombie, enjoy that rigor mortis!
In fact, supposing the zombie infection was spread by way of biting just like in the "walking dead", then those zombies would be long gone by the time you'd run out of rationed food. So presuming this infection was a very fast spreading one, you'd just need to hang out in your house for a month or so and after that time span, you could be damn sure that 50%+ of that zombie population would be "functionally out of order" lol....
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't have to worry about zombies. I'd rather be worried by pandemic influenza. Search up 1918 H1N1. Now THAT'S something to be scared about.

All preservatives must be listed on the label. In canned foods, preservatives are used to maintain quality. The canning process keeps it safe. If a product is correctly processed, it should remain safe until opened or the seal is broken. The U.S. Army has found that canned meats, vegetables and jam were in "excellent states of preservation" after 46 years. However, long storage is not recommended. For high quality (versus safety), the broadest guideline given by the U.S.D.A. is to use high-acid canned food (fruits, tomatoes and pickled products) in 18 to 24 months, and low-acid (meats and vegetables) in two to five years."
besides theres no way to kill bacteria right? (like fucking heating it)
guidelines Are just that. Theyre 100% safe time where youre supposed to be able to eat whatever is in a can without thought or preparation.. You can eat almost anything way after the expiration date with no ill effects.
Youre incredibly stupid when judging all soda in all containers based on a few novelty boxes you had once
the 21 days is ok, not interesting anyway since youd be dead way before that.
Ive had soda that has been way more than a year so many times, how can you be so ignorant? Mind = blown

would I want to? not really. could I? sure.
i know you say don't take this seriously, but i have thought about what I would do in a zombie apocalypse, and this here is exactly what i've decided i would do.
a long time ago, during a PBS fundraiser, i saw a documentary that fascinated me like no other, about a man named dick proenneke, who completely left civilization to live alone in a beautiful region of alaska known as twin lakes. it was completely untouched by man, the only way to it was by seaplane. he built his own house, grew his own vegetables, hunted for meat. ever since then i've always thought that it would be such an interesting and fulfilling experience experience to do something like that.
in the event of a zombie infestation, i'd jump to do that because i would no longer have any social or financial obligations and i couldn't play starcraft anymore. i'd be safe as no zombies would be able to make it into the areas in alaska or northern canada where i'd end up going, and even if one did, the chances that it would ever stumble upon me is essentially 0. i'd be healthy from all the physical labor i would have to do every day, and i'd have food from gardens and hunting.
ya that plan would be perfect if not for the fact that a billion other people would have the exact same plan.

Maybe I would want to live in the rebuilding the stages, so I could shape the world into my ideal fashion.
|
That scenario would give me interesting shit to do for once in my life...

EDIT:
Okey, to clarify a few things:
- ammo, FREE, but find it on your own
- Zombie type - the kind in The Walking Dead (slow, make you "sick" by biting)
- Your family is safe
- There are other survivors, a few, but not a lot. The world would be rebuilt eventually
Do i already have a gun for this free ammo?

A can of coke I have had since the 2003 Ohio State Buckeyes Season:

May 10th, 2004 Expiration date. No leaking at all. 
On topic: We nerds would unite and turn Blizzard HQ into a safe haven and keep the SC2 servers up and running.

Haha, wow, looking back through the pages some people took this way too seriously

The zombies would eventually starve to death just like us humans. 28 days later... if you've survived, you should be good .
I really don't think I would ever want to live in a zombie infested world. I guess I could adapt, but I'm in god damn Northern NJ. One of the most densely populated areas in the US. Just getting away from here would suck dick.
Now, if I was in Portugal with my family at the time, then I definitely could adjust much easier. We spend most of our time in rural places where sustaining yourself is a way of life. Most of the time, we're there to see relatives. Adapting there would be really, really easy, especially since there are some really nice luxury houses out in remote areas in the mountains.

lol. There should a zombie spoof of people fighting off the zombies while keeping tournaments going in sc2. We'd still need internet though... NO LAN!

Sorry, I always die in zombie mode in FPS games like COD or Counterstrike. I don't see how it will be any different in life.
|
i don't think as many attractive people would survive as fiction writes, my standards would plummet
also i'm pretty sure the ratio of assholes to chill people would skyrocket
seriously though, no

as much as i love zombie stuff, actually living in a zombie infested world sounds terrible. you people are crazy.

Remember guys, the people at Blizzard are "geeks".
They should have preventive measures to keep the servers up in case of zombie apocalypse.
That said, I would get to my m8's house as soon as possible, he has guns.
I'd probably go by the store for some food.

I vote yes, but only on condition that my family is dead (which is the probable thing too)

I would much rather live in a world where there are Vampires.
...but I would want to be one of those Vampires.
But to answer your question: No.

Ever seen the movie Day Breakers? I'm not sure you'd want to be a vampire hunting for a resource that would eventually become more and more scarce lol...That being said, we have recently discovered a pathway to making red blood cells from our skin cells...So I guess it's all good!
