Iceland would have the highest chance. You have to find places that have geothermal or nuclear power and access to pod farming equipment.
You underestimate my ability to turn off notifications on my phone.
yea realistically nuclear power would be one of the few things to keep humanity going in that doomed world. There's definitely a couple of bunkers set up to sustain life no matter the situation outside, but aside from the rich and a couple top scientists to think for them everyone else on the planet will die, honestly best course of action would be just commiting suicide with all your loved ones whilst there's still some wood to burn for warmth.
I don't mean the notifications on your phone I mean the screaming, shouting, and arson outside 😭
I suspect the first hour (though that might be generous) would be grave silent, then all hell would break loose. Nobody will have anything to lose
I don't live that close to people. There's an in between zone between being an urbanite and being offgrid.
Also, I don't believe that people would turn blood thirsty within hours. That's hollywood drivel and hollywood is run by sociopaths.
there's definitely going to be some bloodthirst within hours. There's already people that say there's nothing stopping them from murdering others aside from the threat of punishment. At the very least there'll be a steep spike in murders as people go out to commit revenge killings, be they justified or not - they would happen for certain. The preppers would certainly use their arsenal to "defend" their stashes. To-be mass murderers would do their thing. Many people will opt to go out with a bang. Sociopaths will get their last hit of pleasure. Just chaos in general. All instincts unleashed. No need to think about consequences, instant gratification now for everybody.
Hollywood exaggerates things of course, but imagine all laws got abolished and consequences of your actions didn't matter. It might be few that take that chance, but it'll certainly be enough to raise hell
