What would you do if EMP strike the world?

I would laugh my ass off at all those who are overly dependant on technology. be it for finance, social, or information. i don't have a credit card, and i don't plan on ever getting one. i don't go in for the facebook type shit. i know where the library is, and how the dewey decimal system works. i think would do just fine without (high)technology. i have decent wilderness survival skills, and better urban.

i would miss TV and FAKKU! the most, but i'd get over it.

Hahahaha, people can really desperate sometime...

For me, i will hibernate and go find a martial art master and learn some niffty move from him until the world become stable.

Who knows maybe after that all the I.C. is EMP immune. Human do learns sometimes, but mostly will not.

Left4Dead lifestyle is calling me now.

Hokuto no Ken, bitches. Exploding bodies, martial arts, damsels in distress, and ultimate showdowns.

Does this thread have something to do with Highschool of the Dead? :D

Getting back on topic, for an EMP to strike the world, there will be chaos everywhere. I believe it will be wise to avoid the crowd and ensure one's safety during the initial panic period. And if things do not return to normal after some time, gathering supplies for survival may be necessary.

Smells like it is.

OT: Oh well, the only ones who will have a problem with it are the people that are heavily dependent on technology that runs on electricity. Not me.

Might as well retreat to my family's summer house. It's a couple of kilometers from my uncle's vegetable and fish farm, and it's a half-hour bike to the nearest beach. If I'm going to live off a post-EMP'ed world, I'd start off on a place that can ably feed me three times a day and let me have fun.

I would be best if you chose Hokuto Shin-ken or whatever it was called..

Go feral and assume we are under a zombie apocalypse.

Retreat into the woods and setup a heavily fortified position. I'll hang picture of chickens wearing ties in the general area, and shoot anyone who does not understand the true meaning of the image.

I'll stay there until I'm able to once again get back online.

Loot out stores in the confusion I guess.

I would probably start looting lol :P. find some guns and go from there

I would immediately start work on a solar array to power my computer. Once that was up and running I would game till I die.

Oh, well, I guess I deserved that... But I still think the world would be better off without any humans.

Freak out like Cpl. Dunn in MW2 by yelling nonsense then just stand by my window and watch as people riot in the streets.

Uhh go to my girlfriend's house, lock the doors, and fuck until we need food or something. Other than that, yah just chill till the world functions again.

Oh wait... World Wide EMP means no more FAKKU D=

I would go on killing rampage

Raid and Pillage. It builds the character, or so I was told.

Go back to playboy.

I would fap one more time and then take post in a high fortified area with some people of questionable loyalty/ethics and watch the carnage unfold like a diabolical Bond villain. I may also be persuaded into leading a small ragtag group into violent raids/pillaging efforts for lulz and die a glorious death (like my pagan ancestors) in battle.

Everyone is saying stuff like they would watch the carnage unfold but really, would a worldwide EMP (assuming it wasn't caused by nukes) really be that bad? Sure there would be some confusion for awhile and some people might die but if all electronics get knocked out people would just build new electronical devices to replace the old ones that had been fried. First phonelines would go back up. And then system after system would be restored and after a year (three years at most) everything would be back to normal. It would take awhile to restore everything but people would just fall back on the non-electronic systems we used before we started using so many electronics. Like stores would use old timey cash registers and the government would spring for a bunch of wood burning furnaces for homes that still don't have power in the winter. It would suck to have all the porn on my computer gone but that's why I've got stacks of porn magazines in case of blackouts.

It would certainly be inconveinient, but certainly not devastation and soon everything would be just like it was before.

under the confusion i would pillage/kill and make sure i had a dam good time while doing it. Because if it was only an EMP attack America would be functioning again in about a month at the latest.
