Do you think a zombie apocalypse can really happen?

1. 'It would be cool' is not why it's possible.

2. Note we're not only talking about if zombies are possible but if there can be an outbreak of them.

3. Is it possible the can infect and eat brains making the outbreak bigger?

4. What you would do in one is off topic.

Yes

This is the best answer ;)

Side: Yes

Well, it depends what kind of zombies. If you're talking about some horror movie stuff where the dead come back to life, so far, no. If you're talking about the original zombie that came from Voodoo, so long as all the magic stuff is mixed out, yes. Zombies were people who were given a very powerful mix of psychoactive drugs that heavily damaged their brains. These people were then made into slaves, the whole "returning to the dead" part became part of zombie culture because sometimes they would fake the victims death before giving them the mixture.

1. It would be cool (I FEEL THAT IS A REASON WHY IT CAN HAPPEN)

2. Have you seen zombies in films, those like seem really real. Could be an infection?

It all depends on your outlook on all of this, this can be possible though. For one with all of these experiments that people have been doing it could easily do some kind of human experiment for like living longer or something like that, which would go terribly wrong and can easily infect another. There is also a point to where all this pollution in the world could somehow make a disease that could kill people and they could easily come back.

There is also a point to where all this pollution in the world could somehow make a disease that could kill people and they could easily come back. So in this case it could easily spread and with a bite it would be even worse. What would I do is such a common question and is simple. You will need some things which would be food,clean water,shelter hopefully something sturdy, and of course protection. Everyone will be going to these big places so go to a smaller less popular store or what ever and get your supplies. Protection you will need more than guns, yes they are good but they need ammo and won't last forever, so some hand held weapon that is good in close range. Also it will be smart to set in a less populated place and most people say save yourself and don't worry about others, but you do need some people to help you the more people the better. You cant have too much though yes numbers are good but it can be bad. One main thing you want is to be fit otherwise you will be dead quick. The last thing is don't be stupid if you do stupid mistakes you will also be dead. Have no attachments, don't trust anyone even if they are your friends and family, make sure when you kill you kill with a swift movement and try not to make noise. If you can be smart and be cautious then you will live to see another day, and if they do get you fight to the end otherwise you would have died for nothing.

It would be cool if it happened but sadly it probably isn't possible for zombies to even exist if a zombie apocalypse did happen i would get a katana.

Side: No

oh and according to common zombie lore Zombies would not last long if they ate brains since they need brains to function.

Side: No

By using the katana as a zombie killing weapon to be good you would have to be really trained with that since that certain sword is a slashing sword and no a stabbing sword. you would need a lot of flexibility to keep slashing that sword with as much power to keep attacking at some zombies in a close range without getting infected would be pretty hard if you could not move swiftly and effectively.

Side: Yes

Some one billion people have or living on Earth, and it hasn't happened once, so it is fair to assume it is science fiction or horror.

Side: No

I have seen that before and though anything is possible, it is still not plausible.

Zombi, the root of the word are just a voodoo poisoning-brainwashing trick. The modern idea of 'zombies' are actually vampires. Who don't eat brains. Because that would kill the prey, and poison them. And randomly masacarring people will mean that they themselves get randomly masacarred, which is not an idea they like much.

Side: No

I agree. Alot of people seem to intertwine what it is that zombies, vampires, and werewolves do- sometimes even ghosts in fiction. I just watched something (forgot what it was) where they killed a vamp with silver.. that's a werewolf dumbass.

Side: No

Both Werewolves and Vampires are affected by Silver it comes from Eastern European Folklore, its all to do with Silver being pure and its Religous connotations and being killed by a Silver blade or bullet is more logical than Garlic

Side: Yes

That's just creepy.

But at least they have a correct definition of zombie. But that would be an extremely minor apocalypse.

Side: No

well I have to go no, based on the restrictions of the Debate but I have heard recently heard of a spore that effects some species of insects, that basically eats the brain of the host, takes over the body, and moves to the highest point in the village to have the spore stem from the brain and spray the spores out to latch onto more hosts.

The scientist that studied them said, there was a different one for each species it attacked, leading me to believe that through mutations one for the human race could be cultivated, and released, leading to said zombie Apocalypse.

Though due to the brain eating restriction I am on this side of no.

To add to this, if it says edit, there is also that little bath salts stint that was going around for quite a while causing people to eat other humans, but still unfortunately I'm a no because of the restriction on spreading it.

Side: No

Why I think it wouldn't.

1. Rigor mortis. If they were reanimated they would either not be able to move or the animation would make their bones snap everywhere from trying to move.

2. Their eyes would decay quick, causing them to not see.

3. The only thing a virus would re-animate would be their brains and if that's the case then they wouldn't be so dumb like in the movies, comics, and books.

4. There's no proof that if one person were to come back to life that they could infect others in anyway or have a hunger for brains. Thus not even being close to being an apocalypse.

No! Final answer Alex!

Side: No

Only in horror movies. We don't have to worry about such a thing in the real world.

Also if they walk so slow and have no brains of their own. Killing them should be easy.

This may be true but there is the problem of numbers. They may be slow and not that smart and not very deadly all alone but once in a group they could easily get you. In numbers they will easily get you before you could kill them all.

Side: Yes
