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."

- 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

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.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
