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."

"A biological weapon that turns people into zombies."

- DavidHewlett

"So, a zombie?"

Spicy

"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."

- Deracination

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

Giphy

Roundhouse or uppercut

"Brass knuckles."

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

- Exene9

Giphy

Give as good as you get?

"Your teeth as you bite the bastards back."

- Lovingnature412

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.

The House GOP Just Shared A Tone-Deaf Tweet About 'Communist Regimes'—And It's Irony At Its Finest

Not getting the traction they need off their usual fearmongering, the GOP recently changed things up—in cooperation with the White House—from attacking immigrants to reviving the 1950s era "red scare," coming 70 years after the original led by Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy.

The change in tactics hinges on voters not knowing the difference between communism and democratic socialism.

MAGA Rep. Dragged After Making Bonkers Olive Garden Comparison In Push For Voter ID

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was criticized after he, touting the "SAVE America Act," made an oddball comparison using Olive Garden to complain about the lack of voter ID laws.

The Trump administration has pushed to eliminate no-excuse mail voting as a central goal of the "SAVE America Act," a sweeping federal elections bill that, among other things, complicates voting for individuals whose legal name does not match their birth certificate and poses a restrictive photo ID requirement for voting that disproportionately impacts minorities.

Gavin Newsom Furiously Calls BS On Trump Admin's Reason For Freezing Over $1 Billion In Medicaid Funds For California And Minnesota

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the Trump administration following its announcement that it's withholding more $867 million in Medicaid funds earmarked for California and $199 million for Minnesota due to fraud allegations.

The Trump administration said the money will remain frozen until the states submit documentation proving the payments are legitimate and free of fraud. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the funds would only be released once both states provide the requested records.

Olympic Snowboarder Chloe Kim Sparks Debate After Calling Out Fans Who Only 'Facetune' Themselves In Photos With Her

Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim is used to making headlines for what she does on the slopes. This week, though, she's going viral for something entirely different: a TikTok calling out fans who "Facetune" themselves in photos with her while leaving her completely unedited.

For anyone who's blissfully unfamiliar, Facetune is a photo-editing app that's become a social media staple, offering everything from skin smoothing and teeth whitening to facial reshaping and AI-powered filters. Some people use it with a light touch, while others opt for a much more dramatic transformation—but either way, it's a common part of posting selfies online.
