        Absolutely not. There were quakes and tremors and it resulted in a toxic ashy atmosphere where plants could no longer survive because of the ash and lack of sun resulting in colder weather. So most likely volcanic event of some sort. In the book they wear masks to protect themselves from inhaling the toxic air. Historically you have the mini ice age in France after a volcano on Iceland fricked them up and caused mass starvation and freezing but on a much larger scale.

                If a big meteor hit earth it would cause earthquakes so I'm assuming that multiple volcanic eruptions would follow such an impact. One of those volcanoes could be Yellowstone. Why not?

            I though the point of THE ROAD was that they were heading away from the problem and towards the solution? I.e., literally the premise of the story relies upon the cause of the problem mattering, since otherwise they can't identify a solution.

                I meant there would be be massive population drops each year. The people willing go to go out and get the food and be able to defend it would survive longer than most.

                what food Black person where the frick do you think food comes from, if there's no plants there's no beans, if there's no grass there's no cows, WHERE IS THE FOOD COMING FROM

                Because people would immediately start hoarding everything they can so there would be people with stockpiles. Did you not see what happened during covid lockdown where everyone started stockpiling everything they could from supermarkets

                >stockpiling
                >covid
                covid didn't shut down the food chain. you wouldn't be able to stock food because we are talking about 10 YEARS WITH ZERO PLANTS OR ANIMALS. not covid being oh you can't get international foods anymore but you still have shelves stocked with local food. covid never shut down the food supply and distribution.

                you all need to internalize this simple fact THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY ENOUGH FOOD TO FEED EVEN 50% OF THE CURRENT POPULATION FOR MORE THAN 1 YEAR. THE ONLY REASON IT KEEPS GOING IS BECAUSE IT IS CONSTANTLY STOCKED UP BY NEW FOOD.

                We're all in agreement that the majority would die off in the first few years for one reason or another. The smart and aggressive people would be hoarding and rationing from the start. The dumb frick would be killing each other for cans at the supermarket while smarter people would head to distribution centres and load up as much as they possibly could before getting out of the city. If you were rationing you could survive for a long. You have to remember that most people would go in to panic mode.

                Why do you think it's only the most determined to survived left? 90+% of the population is dead by this point. There's enough canned and long life products to keep those willing to kill/steal/horde alive for years. Not everyone would have died over night but there would have been a huge drop in population every year for years after the event.

Sunlight is the very basis of life on Earth, and without it, everything slowly dies out. SLOWLY, do you understand? Slowly like the raping remains of humanity in this movie. You fricking idiot.

                you dumb fricking moron, unless everyone dies instantly at the same time EVERYONE EATS ALL FOOD LOCAL TO THEM. there is a 2 week supply on all food for perishables ASSUMING PLANTS CAN GROW STILL. there is best case scenario 5 years nonperishables for some people, which isn't a standard diet. THAT MEANS ALL LOCAL FOOD WILL BE DEPLETED WITHIN 1-2 YEARS OR LESS IF THERE IS NO PLANTS. there are 350+ million people in the usa, they would eat every canned nonperishable in the continental usa in a year. THE ONLY REASON you see canned beans in zombieshit shows is because EVERYONE IS DEAD RIGHT AWAY so they don't eat any of them.

                you moron the supply gets stocked every weekday, that's why truckers and grocery store workers were considered essential workers when all the homosexual bean counters were working remotely during covid. its because every grocery store stocks food all the time. bread is delivered almost daily, almost all breadstuffs would be gone within 1-2 weeks. all vegetables would be gone within 2-4 weeks. from there all you have left is canned goods, which newsflash would not be replaceable, and there aren't enough of them to supply a diet exclusively. if there was a total ecological collapse there wouldn't be enough humans left in 10 years to cry about it or form homosexual rape gangs of ass eaters

                please go outside at least once in your life before nuclear winter blots out the sun. also mass suicides if they were 1% of the population ( in insane, impossible statistic ) would be like 3.5 mil people. if murder was 5% (insane impossible statistic) that would be like 7 mil people. so like lets say 10% of the pop just died, 35 mil, being generous. that leaves like 300 mil people still eating everything they can get their hands on. its IMPOSSIBLE.

                you dumb homosexual people die after they eat the food. they sit on their ass in their house and eat all their food until they are driven by hunger to go outside and get raped. so that means all their food is gone. that means there's no food for 10 years. people at the end times don't leave their house full of food to go outside for no reason to hang their buttholes out for rape gangs so you can walk by their dead body and eat their food in their kitchen.

                It is very likely the majority of people died very quickly either from the direct effect of the event or shortly after, especially in big cities when utilities go down. That's kinda how these things have to play out to work in stories like these, there's not a lot of people left after the first couple of weeks. So you're no longer in a scenario where 100% of the population tries to stay alive but rather a few percent.

                ok if everyone except 100 people magically dies instantly then yes its possible there could be some food left, but you'd still probably just freeze to dead

    Get in a car and drive to Colorado or Utah. Find a freshwater lake with fish and live in a nearby cabin. The less people around the better. Even though states like Idaho,Montana & Wyoming are much less populated their winters can get severe and in the post apocalypse that could be a death sentence. In Colorado/Utah you could skip winter and travel south much more quickly to escape the cold.

      There is no freshwater lake anymore, the fish are long gone as well. The asteroid and the following volcanoes, quakes and ash destroyed all plants and all animals, the water evaporated. There are two sources of food:
      1. Food from before, cans, MREs, etc. good luck finding any
      2. People

    i would do agriculture (aquaponics) inside a warehouse wired for solar and wind electricity generation.

    in my 60s or 70s i would then set up a central bank. funding it to the tune of 13% under a profit sharing scheme with other wealthy bankers and business owners. divest the rest of my wealth into a foundation named after me, focused on charitable works, supporting research universities, underdeveloped regions, politicians which align with my values.

            No, the previous band of raiders mentioned would defend their food. It's literally what I've been trying to explain to morons in TLOU threads. Functioning society works because they bond together to produce food and supplies and have strength in numbers. The 1st set of raiders mentioned wouldn't be raiders if they had food. They'd be deputies.

              i understand what you're saying, and im saying society was totally knocked out and couldnt recover before a deluge of shit eroded what little bonds remained.

              although, to be fair, the entirety of society probably doesnt die out.

              mormons probably will survive, and as i mentioned earlier in thread, the credit soundtrack in the movie implies humanity will survive and create a new normal. so yeah, societies like yours could exist, but any place close to a city would be a nightmare of rape and cannibalism within a single year

      even if it were a "yellowstone erupts" scenario most of the world would be fine. hell most of the US wouldn't even be in immediate danger, and cleanup would get underway to remove the ash and get farmlands back to normal in relatively short order. 10 feet of ash sounds bad, but where I live we've gotten 10 feet of snow a couple times in my life, and that shit doesn't melt for months. in the short term you just plow it into huge piles and let it sit there and go about your day.

                have you ever actually met any "prepper" type people? i'm assuming not, since you speak and think like a brown 14 year old urbanite full of microplastics and estrogen.

        Makes sense and would be more convenient but you compromise most of the density of the meat. Which is more filling a steak or a bag of beef jerky?

          You process the ones who die so the meat doesn't rot. That would be a waste.

            Yea but in the movie they were basically keeping them chained up and only removing parts of them (section of a leg, section of an arm) to keep them Alive. I'm sure after they could take off as much as they could before killing them, the rest of the body was presevered by smoking

              Yeah, I agree they weren't using the most logical method but then at the same time mx they're a deranged cannibal cult and people don't always do the logical thing at the best of times.

    Tell me about the novel. Does it follow the same plot structure or do they explore the setting more?
    I'm interested in reading about other survivor groups and how they run their human farms. Sustainability seems questionable and it seems smarter to just slaughter your stock and smoke the meat asap rather than keep them fresh but let them grow thinner by the day.
    Actually, why not keep human cattle and force feed them unpleasant but probably nourishing shit like grass and leaves. They'll probably get sick and die eventually but you'll probably only want to eat the muscle tissue anyway.

      It's not explained much and there's no point getting too deep into it because it doesn't really add up. A society that has lost food sources can't just eat itself. It is the opposite of sustainable or sensible. It would be like saying
      >"I've run out of stuff to feed my farm animals and replenish their population. So I will just kill some of them and feed them to the rest so they will survive and continue to breed"

      You would run out of animals within a few days. It relies on a world of people existing without a world of any food or animals or sustainability of any kind. The premise falls apart if you think about it for more than a few seconds, so the book avoids explaining it.

        I don't know how many more times morons like you need it explained to them. These are the remains of the common folk, 10 years after the event. Not everyone is a cannibal. People weren't eating each other the day after it happened.

          If people are alive 10 years later, it means they have an at least somewhat sustainable source of food. You can't loot supermarkets for a decade. And you can't fricking farm people like cattle because those people need food, at which point you are just being a cannibal for a laugh or because you don't like the taste of what you feed your cattle.

                they met very few considering their journey was months long, most in a single place (cannibals). also, the survivors obviously congregated toward areas what they thought would offer better survival.

    Whatever the event was, if the air is still breathable and there is SOME sun, then life would be flourishing after 10 years.
    As far as food, even without large plants, there would be ze-bugs, which should be plentiful.
    A handful of worms is mighty tasty to someone starving.
