It would be very hard work to survive I would think.

First thing id do is find a supermarket and move into it as my new home base, ready supply of food, water, fuel, hopefully it would have a already setup backup generator aswell.

Id get myself nice and cozzy but things could go down hill rapidly.

Start training myself on small planes, just to get the hang of refueling and flying, until i could move up to something big enough to get me to area 51. then id have a good snoop round there and either find aliens and build a new life with them or even better jets which i would spend the rest of my days ragging round in. probably while slowly going blind.

Would there be animals? Or is this a case of being the last living creature on Earth?

It would be cool if it were an alien experiment and everything worked as usual, electricity, water, etc.. and there were just no other humans.

However without mass consumption I'd imagine the smell of rotting food would get old very quickly, making towns a horrible place to go.

After going a bit mad, I'd probably end up in a lighthouse with a small garden for subsistence and many books, wine, painting supplies. I reckon that I could see out the end of my life quite happily. Would be nice to have a dog for company though.

Drive all the nice cars I've ever wanted to

Set up some kind or broadcast system in case there are others (preferably female)

Collect all the microwavable/tinned foods I can find as I can't cook

Might as well take up drinking to pass some time

Collect drugs for the same reason as above

Turn my drive to work into a race circuit and then try beat my times in various different cars

I'd say just humans gone but it would be sad and scary to see all the hungry and scavenging animals left over so to keep this light hearted lets go no domestic pets remaining - just already wild animals.

Me, I'd

- take a visit to my local Ferrari and Lamborghini main dealers and empty their inventory. They're next door to each other so easy peasy.

- collect as much cash as I can just to create a huge bonfire ala Joker.

- be nosy and look round some houses check out the secrets within.

- blow something big up

- visit the local Air Force base and fire off some weaponry

- see how quickly I can make the city from my house - 18 miles of freeway so reckon 5m 30 in an Aventador should do it.

I imagine that without any further human interaction, your mental health would start going downhill?

Was watching that tonight hence the thought laugh

I like the bit where he:

Drove round in a Stealth Bomber

Stole Pitbulls yacht and blew it up

Went supermarket shopping in his car inside the supermarket.

Hung the Mona Lisa in his house.

Stuff like that laugh

What has happened to every one else? Have they miraculously disappeared or are you having to contend with the sight and stench of slowly decomposing bodies?

That’s the thing you would run out of fruit and veg quickly as it goes bad after a couple of. Freezer idea is good, you may still have electricity and gas but without people to maintain the infrastructure that won’t last. Once the gas goes you would have to think about how to heat your house, perhaps find a house with a wood burning stove and move in there.

Likewise a lot of farm animals would not survive without human interaction, Could move somewhere with a bit of land and grow your own food and raise some animals.

But yes I think a few supercars would get taken out for a thrashing
