Prepper question

[BeBMan]

Do preppers have a legitimate reason to be eternally offended when the specifc kind of disaster/apocalypse they prepared for does not occur within a reasonable amount of time?

And what if there is a different kind of disaster/apocalypse happening?

For instance if you got a private nuke-proof bunker, but are suddenly overrun by zombie hordes or beamed into an UFO for fun and experiments (before the rest of the planet gets destroyed by giant deathrays) it might be very frustrating.

IMO there should be some insurance for certain stuff to happen or at least the possibility to sue the government in case of failure to generate doomsday or something.

Discuss.

Nuke proof bunkers are good for many types of apocalypses, zombies included. Also, having water, food and weapons stored is also very multipurpose.

However, if you wish to buy apocalypse insurance, I will gladly sell you a policy.

The most likely form of collapse are the types that happened in China/Rome/etc. The best guard for those is to live in a functional community where people get along and have access to good soil/fresh water/etc.

Im perfectly well prepared for the complete and utter collapse of online social media. However if streaming sites are also affected I don’t know if we would survive.

Is the "insects are all gone soon" apocalypse a real thing and how do we prep for it?

So far I only see two bad options:

1. Use gen-teched insects. They'll mutate into some horror/monster insects and kill us all.

2. Use robotic mini drones to do the insects task for food supply etc.. Them drones will develop a hive mind, and go skynet on us (so basically kill us all).

We need moar options.

Train zombies to do pollination by hand in return for GMO brains grown in cloning vats?

[I AM I AM MOBIUS]

As is, there's no place on Earth fit to raise children. We are living the apocalypse.

What a stupid ****ing world. There's not a single person in history worthy of praise. Flush humanity down the toilet of extinction.

Grains and many other plants are wind pollinated.

As for the rest...get out the Q-Tips and get ready for lots and lots of swabbing.

"There's extremophiles just about everywhere we look... including hot volcanic vents on the ocean floor..."
but
"the greenhouse effect (explain how to build a greenhouse out of a gas more dense than the surrounding atmosphere, btw... draw me the dome infrastructure) will cook us"

[I AM I AM MOBIUS]

What's the rate of atmosphere lost due to atmospheric escape? What's the composition?
"Methane is gonna burn us"
How? Most of it oxidizes.

[I AM I AM MOBIUS]

What's the total volume of atmosphere contained inside human structures?
