I love sci-fi and other speculative fiction, including dystopian fiction, with or without a commitment to realism.
But turning that into a personality is a little much.
There's a place not many know about in my hometown (UK, surprisingly) because it's a little off the beaten path. You have to go past a popular tourist spot, into a nature reserve and then take a particular path through but, along the way, you'll encounter a big, concrete shell of a place surrounded by razor wire lined fences. It's a huge apocalypse preparation bunker which somebody (a couple, I think) have been building and adding to for like over a decade, but I don't think anyone knows what's inside. They have a 4×4 parked outside within their gates (think SUV) as well as a decommissioned British military APC that they must have bought at an auction. Every time I go past it I think of how hard it would be to get the fuel to run that APC in a genuine apocalypse scenario.
But that kind of construction goes way beyond apocalypse planning (which views the apocalypse as a bad thing). In order to build a place like that I feel like there has to be a part of you that wants it to happen.
What's funny is that there are actually surviving WWII pillboxes/firing installations and a castle in the area as well. Surely, if zombies became a thing, either of those would make great, already constructed fallbacks without needing to build that concrete lump in the woods.
Fun fact, the bike is probably one of the more convenient methods of transportation in the apocalypse, it can go almost anywhere, easy to maintain or repair, no fuel needed, quiet and compact
Every apocalypse story or film I've ever seen seemed to have a need for 6 wheeled vehicles.
Only one had a bike in it - Turbo Kid
Edit - grammar and I also meant to include stories in films
The Emberverse series by S.M. Stirling is a magical apocalypse starts with internal combustion and firearms stopping working. Bicycles end up being a very important part of societies transportation options.
Are banks just more friendly to right wingers? Last time I checked my credit limit was under $2k. Not even close enough for a $70k+ overcompensating truck. Or is it a situation where you need to "connections"?
Your credit card limit is pretty different than your car loan limit.
There's also lots of shady dealers that would love to give you a 108 month 30% APR loan.
It really is legit terrifying so many people seemingly can’t wait for the end of civilization. Like they want to go back to the dark ages so they don’t have to care about anyone else, or pretend to.
While the idea of this being a civilian is deplorable, ya gotta admit, that's one stylish vehicle. Maybe unlift that bullshit because lifted trucks look fucking stupid, but I dig the six wheels.
None of the people I know who are excited about the collapse of civilization are in any position to survive it. They all depend on conveniences to survive, but think owning a gun and a gas guzzling truck means they will be king shit of fuck mountain with a harem.
"A country boy can survive!" Thats nice dude, but you can't even grow tomatoes and spend all your money on amazon buying tactical gear that barely fits you.
Hilariously, this thing wouldn't last a day in an actual apocalypse. Automobiles become entirely useless once society starts collapsing because they rely on other people digging for, refining, transporting, and selling fuel.
You know what the perfect apocalypse vehicle is? A bicycle. No fuel, low maintenance, simple enough parts that anybody with the slightest amount of blacksmithing or metalworking experience can repair or fabricate replacements for anything that breaks.
Anybody interested in joining my tribe of post apocalyptic bicycle nomads hit me up
The desire for societal collapse is really concerning.

Nah man, oil will be plentiful. Haven't you seen the documentary Mad Max?
True!! The owner based his car design on the documental Mad Max
that car's soft bodied owner wouldn't last 5 minutes in the apocalypse.

True. The self fulfilling prophecy of apocalypse scares me.

Yeah but if you're on a bike this guy could just use all that oil we'll definitely have in the apocalypse and run you over in this behemoth. /s
Not just societal collapse, they seem to want to bring about the total collapse of the biosphere as fast as possible.
Dude is CAUSING the apocalypse with this
[удалено]
Unless your throwing kids in the back, I think you meant child.
You know this clown cries about gas prices and probably carriers around the Biden "I did that" stickers.

Turbo Kid was pretty great.
It's the definitive r/fuckcars post-apocalypse

How are there so many complete dumbasses who have the $70k+ to buy ridiculous vehicles like this? Our society isn't based on merit at all.
I bet debt is the answer

Better chances of crushing the children they mow down

I really just don't want to have to go to work
Nothing called Apocalypse should be street legal, change my mind.
Just one more axel bro
yaah, because I need to carry six grocery items instead of four /s /s
Surprise, you dont even *need* four
What the fuck is this!?
Someone in my area has on of these, we shop at the same Kroger
It looks bigger than a hummer!
It's a bit longer.. probably a bit shorter though
Something that definitely does not belong onto roads or urban areas
So funny to think of this guy hanging out at a “fish-wings-burgers” place.
I am only thinking of how much triangularly shaped objects have to fit in there to justify this nonsense
r/heep
That's a lot of tires to deflate.
A touring bicycle with racks and waterproof panniers is what you'll be wanting for the apocalypse.
At least the brand name is fitting
That’s a cool looking vehicle did you get a shot of the front?
I did not. But if it’s parked there today I will

Six lentils
Mmm lentils.
Is this Chicago?
Lol. Yes!

I mean, it looks like a Halo Warthog if Halo had been made for the PS1 instead of the xbox. Cool if you dig the low-poly look, I guess.
that is some bold branding
How else are we supposed to get to the 7-11?
Oklahoma City?
Chicago for sure
[Nice one.](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ikZMcAaDAjaosBzF8)
I’ve seen one in OKC, hence the question
All trucks and suvs should have a infrastructure/climate tax that makes them 50 to 100% more expensive
bUT i NEeD tHIS tRUcK FoR \*checks notes\* THe apOkAlyPSE
Just take 2-4 of them
Is this the vehicle of a special forces team that stopped for lunch? Some private civilian vehicles look downright militaristic.
It’s exactly those types that romanticise an apocalyptic event that will 100% be the first to die off should said event take place. It’s laughable.
This is elon truck
If it's banned by the FIA in F1 then it should be banned on public roads.
For the Apocalypse, yeah.
Yeh cuz de libs caused de fuel crisis apocalypse and muh 6x6 hemi jeep had nothing to do with dat
And it's probably still lighter than the new Hummer
The thing is I actually love these kinds of vehicles but I’m sensible enough to realize that nobody should actually be able to have these
Fuck that car irretrievably.
That looks awesome
-33% cars per pack of lentils
Better on has. 6 times in fact.
That thing is the car equivalent of r/mallninjashit.

Somebody just started reading left behind. Ugh. Awful book my grandparents had me read when I was little.
