I was having this conversation with my daughter and thought it was an interesting topic.

If an EMP or solar flare took out everything electronic in the whole world (permanently), how long do you think it would take for you to die, given your current location and circumstances.

I believe my daughter thinks we would live a lot longer than I do, but she is thinking about how long she can live without the internet while I am thinking the world will quickly descend into anarchy.

With no traditional forms of transport, so supplies would dry up, limited resources, health etc, law and order would be a challenge as things become more desperate.

I think I would live for about 3 months. I would try to get the family somewhere safe and remote and come back later, but I think most people would have the same idea.

    I’d rather die from starvation after having witnessed my loved ones die from similar circumstances.

    This sounds like you’d be keeping food from your loved ones so they die first.

      Nah. If Food runs out, food runs out. Evenly distributed rations. It’s simply more likely I’d survive longer as my general health is better than my loved ones right now, and therefore I would likely be the one to bear witness to their tragic demise.

      I can see why you’d think that though, based off of the unclear wording of my previous reply.
