People Debate What The Worst Weapon Would Be To Bring To The Zombie Apocalypse

The popularity of zombie films, TV shows, comic books and novels have lead a lot of people to imagine their zombie apocalypse survival strategy.

Where would they live?

What about food and transportation?

Perhaps most important for many people are the weapons they plan to wield.

But some weapons that do just fine pre-apocalypse, are less than useless after.


Redditor Mister_DumDum asked:

"What's the worst weapon (but undeniably a weapon) to have in the Zombie Apocalypse?"

Reload!

"I’d imagine a Musket would suck."

"Makes a ton of noise and only get one shot with a long reload period."

"Pepper spray. You have to be close enough to use it and once you do, they don't give a sh*t because they are dead and can't feel it."

Sorry, Ash

"Chainsaw, too loud, too much maintenance to be good."

- TimSherrySucks

"I was gonna say chainsaw too."

"Incredibly dangerous to the user, you must get in close to use it, would get jammed up, need sharpening often and fling contaminated blood everywhere."

Clean up on aisle...

"I work at a steel mill and one of the services we provide is melting down weapons involved in violent crimes that have been confiscated by police departments."

"So if everything they’ve brought to be melted down qualified as a weapon, my answer would be a Swiffer mop."

- SmartAlec105

"I love that confiscating and melting down that Swiffer was deemed necessary."

But, does he die or not?

"Wolverine Claws, you eject them and slice up zombies, now they are covered in infected zombie blood, you retract them into your body, thereby infecting yourself with zombie virus."

- WAXnIT

"If it was wolverine then his healing factor would just make him even more deadly. An unstoppable force even."

- Bandit263

"Or continually self healing undead state."

- Mouler

Roundhouse or uppercut

"Brass knuckles."

"Imagine you punch a zombie in the face but he bites you in the process."

- Exene9

Give as good as you get?

"Your teeth as you bite the bastards back."

There are definitely some things to consider here.

Does electricity or water or fire work against zombies?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO).

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
