Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku? – Episode 3 – The Suspicious Mushroom People Village
In the last episode, the girls finally arrive at Higashi-Agano, and the people with mushrooms on their heads greet them. You may think they are friendly, but there is something that Akira, the girl who gets into arguments with Reimi, is very suspicious of them, and probably for a good reason.
Believe it or not, I find it fascinating how these […]
Want some #verisimilitude for your post-apocalyptic story? Four years after the pandemic started, 7 out of 7 examined #battery-powered candles had burst batteries. 3 out of 7 had destroyed circuitry and were irreparable. I restored four of the candles to working order with a lot of cleaning and scrubbing, but of course they required fresh #batteries.
Takeaway: Nothing battery-powered left for four years will work when found. Much of it will be destroyed.
Bonus: Gasoline has a shelf life and may be useless in 6-12 months. Sorry, no verisimilitude in Mad Max.
Modern medicine is the true miracle of our times. People who're nostalgic for the olden days haven't aged enough or aren't thinking their needs through. My natural lifespan was 50 but I survived cancer and the spouse's was 38 because of a burst appendix. We've got meds that keep us alive. Unlike insulin, we might go a couple years before dying miserably. Things #writers need to think about when #writing#postapocalyptic stories.

You're right. I've a friend with an old Plymouth arrow pickup who helped out the resterauteers in his vicinity by taking old frier oil for his vehicle. Was a win win for him, and in a #PostApocalyptic world, diesel vehicles may rule the decaying roads.
Would an AM or FM radio station be easier to maintain in a Post Apocalyptic world? How much power would a decent size radio station take to operate? (Mainly the broadcasting tower).
@amberage Let's put this in perspective from a SF author point of view. We are slowly moving away from hardcopy, though you can find books. We are definitely moving away from optical media. In its place are multiple digital copies stored in at least two or three sights around the world (business do that, anyway). If the one in Texas gets nuked, the one in India might survive?
What happens 50 years from now when there is nothing but digital—this is where the SF part comes in—and civilization crumbles? When people later try to reconstruct, all human knowledge is lost!
Oh my. (That's deep background of one of my universes.)
Move over, romance. February is for the power of FRIENDSHIP! The February is for Friendship promo has 45 fantasy or sci-fi books featuring strong friendship/found family vibes.
Last night I watched The Day, a movie I had no idea I even had on my Plex machine. I think I got it as an offhand recommendation/mention on a reddit r/Horror thread. Anyway, damn! It's almost black and white, post apocalyptic, contextually super sparse and a hell of a ride. If you like your horror bleak you'll enjoy this one. It looks like it's available on Prime as well.
A 'serious' drawing after a month or two of a drawing break. Idk.
Tried drawing this concept a couple times before but it wasn't until now that I feel somewhat satisfied with it. Any thoughts? Lemme know- and guess what childhood show this may be, haha! (this drawing is my headcanon of it, dont judge!! 😭😭)
