A post-apocalyptic future - what will it be like?

I love the post-apocalyptic genre, but there are a ridiculous number of variations on the theme. What do you think an "after it ends" life would look like?

PS - no bloody zombie stuff. That actually falls into the horror genre.

The stylized "Mad Max" version 2
The gritty version in "The Road" 19
Something akin to "The Day After" 6
"Jericho," "Revolution" or "The Colony" 10
Something entirely different (see comments) 24
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Hopefully it will be like "Ass Blasters-All Anal Sluts#14".

        We're talking about a horrible apocalypse with all manner of death and misery here and you think an intimate act of love is gross?

    I think those who survive the nuclear fallout will be horribly deformed. Water will be contaminated. There will be intense radiation in the atmosphere. The survivors will live underground. There wouldn't be much to eat, as much of the vegetation and animal life on the planet perished. Eventually the survivors would turn to cannibalism.
    After a century or so the sea levels would have risen due to all the polar ice caps melting. The planet would become submerged in ocean.

        You are so unfunny. Also, this post is like a month old, check the date before you reply to someone with some random nonsense.

          Stupidity is timeless. Something stupid you say on the internet it is still stupid one or even ten months later. And "unfunny"? At least be eloquent if you are going to insult someone. Perhaps 'humourless' or 'tiresome' would have been more fitting. You could do with a good Molotov cocktailing my friend. A little tough love never harmed anyone.

    • Yeah that's what I think.

      I'd drive straight to the cop shop to collect some body armour and weaponry. Then go around killing people, fucking their corpses, and wearing their heads as hats while shouting "woooooooooo".

      And that's actually my real-life immediate plan for such an event. Tommy the terror of the wastes.

      People would see me and be like "wtf it's only been a day since society collapsed"

    It will be a lot less luxurious than our current lifestyles.

    Some people may survive, but they wouldn't be living, that's for sure.

    No medicine, complete anarchy, no social structure, we would be back to the dark ages and it would NOT be the big adventure that is seen in the movies. All of this is assuming, of course, that whatever it was that caused this apocolypse didn't destroy the earths natural resources.

    Archaic.

    Please do not start this Archaic religious fantasy nonsense again.

    Please try to think of something that is new, current, and conforms to known facts of Scientific knowledge and understanding.

    Thank you.

      You mean like "Ass Blasters-All Anal Sluts#14"?

      Dude, it seems pretty realistic that all or most of life on earth will someday perish. The end times will always be a current topic.

        Incorrect.

        Time does not end.

        In fact, time is an abstract concept, which does not exist in nature.

        Time is a property of massenergy and quarkenergy within space.

          Ok then, the inevitable event of people dying off the planet in masses.

            Sooner than you think, unless each and every one of us takes proactive steps and measures, towards a sustainable future.

              Like incessant nagging of people to change the way they speak to conform with rules that you make up based on the teachings of alien civilizations that speak to only you?
