I cannot remember the name of the drat movie now, it was some anime about vampires. But in this city, they lived with the humans instead of in hiding, and no one preyed on anyone (you could buy blood if you wanted from humans but that was seen as weird), because the monsters outside the city were the vampires' usual meals. So humans and vamps teamed up to beat demons, easy enough. Anyway, my IIMM was that the head council of vampires were asked by some humans to raise/turn their teenagers into vampires. The kids had been killed, sneaking out of the city for the tenth time (and this time they were actually under house arrest, because the group had been found poisoning someone in the hospital), and the council decided to do it, because it would give the kids another chance at life. Okay fine, but now they had half a dozen eternal 14-16 year olds, who began to run amok even moreso since they had magic vampire powers. And none of them wanted to be vampires in the first place. But the movie treated the elders like they were responsible and good for doing what they did, instead of letting the kids stay dead. That they had some regret things had turned out badly, but they couldn't punish the kids any more than making them do chores, like sweeping the city, because anything harsher would be child abuse. But somehow making them eternal teenagers wasn't abuse.

The Greeks believed in a guy holding up the sky - Atlas. Another pet peeve - why in the sort of post apocalypse that has people walking long distances, does no-one ever get some bicycles? It's a game rather than a movie, but at least in The Last of Us Joel and Ellie got a horse.

Angrymog posted:The Greeks believed in a guy holding up the sky - Atlas. I can think of several rational explanations for why bikes might be scarce in a post-apocalyptic situation. - No replacement parts. Riding on unmaintained roads or off-road, presumably skimping on maintenance, would make them break down faster, especially lightweight road bikes that are the most common in cities nowadays. - Stolen. Working bicycles (or their parts) would be extremely valuable and hard to hide in that situation. - Too conspicuous. Someone might not want to draw attention to themselves by sticking to the sort of roads and trails a bicycle can navigate, or be seen with such a valuable resource. Also, unless you have working bikes for everyone in your party, they don't do you much good even to carry things -- unlike a horse which could be used to carry baggage even if you didn't have a horse for everyone. In filmmaking terms, adults riding bicycles just don't tend to look cool. Imagined has a new favorite as of 17:31 on Oct 5, 2021 |

Bicycles are ubiquitous, easy to repair, and unless you've got some 5-figure dutch racing bike, you can swap in and out parts from pretty much any bike And most important point that the original post didn't mention: They're quiet. When you're in a situation where making noise can attract the attention of a horde of thousands of flesh eating zombies, do you really want to be clip-clopping along on a ride made of snorting, stomping meat? But yes, obviously it's because they don't look cool. They, at best, make you look european

What percentage of homeless people nowadays do you see with bicycles? A few percent? Why do you think that is? There's your answer. Anybody try to buy a new bicycle since spring 2020? What if things were even worse, for longer?

OutsideAngel posted:Because the police Oh? Other survivors wouldn't steal anything you have that might improve their chances of survival, if they can? Again, people steal bikes constantly now, and that's just for a little money. Imagine if it was for survival. Incidentally, I think the same thing about people who stockpile firearms and other prepper supplies, i.e. past a certain point, they're just putting a big target on their backs, especially if they imagine they're going to lone wolf it out.

Are you guys trolling me by being deliberately dense and pretending you don't understand my point, or what. If bicycles suddenly became valuable tools of survival wanted desperately by everyone, AND production of new bikes shuts down, AND spare parts become scarce, AND the way they are used is rougher than usual, they will quickly become hard to find. I don't think any part of that sentence is either far-fetched or difficult to comprehend. Imagined has a new favorite as of 21:18 on Oct 5, 2021 |

Where I live, there are more bikes than people. Most of them are incredibly easy to maintain and it's nor uncommon to see bikes that work perfectly after decades of use. Bikes would outlive cars. They would outlive trains, plains and most non-sailing boats. Bikes are forever.
