Watch out! The comedic zombies are coming.

Would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

What better question to ponder when you have tons of work to do and no intention of getting to it whatsoever? I don't blame you; one must be prepared. Also, the zombie apocalypse used to be a very distant prediction, but I would say it is basically a given nowadays. It is no longer a matter of if, but most definitely a matter of when. Although I am actually starting to doubt the zombie apocalypse and tend to be more inclined some days towards AI taking over humanity. Regardless, it's best to be prepared for both. In this case, not exactly with useful survival techniques and tips, but with a perfect meme collection that will make your zombie friend come back to life out of laughter. I do think all those zombie films have gotten the cure part wrong. If a zombie apocalypse does come, scientists won't be the ones to solve it. Comedians, on the other hand…just saying, there is not much eating while laughing loudly.

To be perfectly honest, I do think I could survive the zombie apocalypse. You know, I’m an optimist. Unfortunately, being an optimist would also mean that I would try to have a conversation with a zombie that looks sort of friendly enough, hoping that it would leave my brain alone. Because of that, I would probably end up a zombie either way. Not for my lack of survival abilities, I must clear up, but for a complete lack of survival instincts, which are completely different things altogether.

On the other hand, is turning into a zombie that bad, really? I already feel like one some Monday mornings at work, as I walk through the house with no clear purpose. Just imagine it for a second: a zombie’s life consists of walking around with some friends, looking for snacks. No office work, no bills, and certainly no other responsibilities than the perpetual snack search. Call me crazy, but it doesn’t sound too bad at this point. I guess my stance on this matter highly depends on whether zombies have a taste for ice cream or not. That right there is my only deal breaker.

Let me help you procrastinate your work even further by opening the door for an endless loop of conversation with your work buddies: would you survive the zombie apocalypse? Would your friends? Feel free to choose the turning-into-a-zombie option, which has been overlooked far too long. Also, do you think we could add some spices to the brains if we did turn into zombies? I really would miss spicy food.
