Earthling Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 In a survival type situation, you need any protein you can. Hamster, Rat, Mouse, Snake, Lemming, as long as there weren't flies on the meat, and it was cooked very thoroughly, it would be fine. You forgot dog, cat, guinea pig, budgie, parrot, mynah bird, rabbit, hare, hedgehog (yum).......the list is defined, I guess, only by one's sensitivities.
Garacesh Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Can't imagine you'd get a decent meal our of a hedgehog, though.
tmcd35 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Can't imagine you'd get a decent meal our of a hedgehog, though. I don't know, a couple of lettice leaves, some cheese and pineapple, fava beans and a nice cianti - Sounds better than half the "meals for one" at our local Tesco. 1
Garacesh Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Alright then, you go ahead and make cheese without power, but I sure as hell ain't eating it
happymeal Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 "Humans - the 'other' meat" - has a ring to it...anyone want to buy some snare/bear traps?
L3OUGH Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I think/could imagine the world wide governments should organise (In secret, so people think it's genuine) an event where they just knock all power off, just as a test to see how earth reacts... Then in a few years, just knock everything back on... Just imagine the chaos. Would make everything we're talking about real. Edited March 18, 2014 by L3OUGH

L3OUGH Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 That's a terrible idea!! In theory yes, lots of people would die, but that's a given in ANY situation like this... But this scenario would be played out for real, if something like that were to happen... Like everything was to die at 1.15 and not come back on for 10yrs...
Domino Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 We need to do exploding cow dominos now. wait...WHAT?!

Governments not supposed to cause mass chaos for a laugh. wait...WHAT?! I thought you'd like to be involved. You can be the last one in the chain, doging bits of flying femur or something Edited March 18, 2014 by ICTDirect_Dave
featured_spectre Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 @L3OUGH if you think governments should just "flip the switch" for giggles, you belong in a mental institution. Mass riots, panicking and deaths alone would get the person the death penalty or life imprisonment alone!
Earthling Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Can't imagine you'd get a decent meal our of a hedgehog, though. Probably more filling than a budgie, but there again, I do have two of the noisy little s.

It was intended more of I can see it happening/could imagine them doing so.

mac_shinobi Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Gonna get a whole forequarter of beef.... What's your beef ??? !!!!
seawolf Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I would head off to the mountains, set up a campsite near a water source, fish, hunt, trap and grow food. Set up multiple locations to move between due to weather or other dangers. Of course, I grew up on a farm and used to go fishing and hunting for days at a time, camping for weeks at a time, was in the scouts for years, and the military training improved the survival skills further. I expect for many people such conditions would be pretty rough. I'd suggest raiding every store in the area to get about 10 years with if toilet paper because that would be the biggest bummer (pun intended) of roughing it for an extended time :-)
featured_spectre Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 What's your beef ??? !!!! If you mean what breed, then it is grain fed Red Poll
