have a constant orgy until we run out of food?

>>3269415
And even a little after we run out of food, too.

Food would run out in a few months and then we'd all die.
What kind of sick torture would that be?

start planting. I'd be willing to bet everything you'd need to make tissue cultures of plants are in there. Make a growth chamber with foil and fluorescent lights. food problem solved. Sewage is going to be an issue.

Considering there are no females on /sci/, repopulation is out of the question.

I say we separate the scientists and engineers. Some people want to keep their anal virginity after all.

>>3269415

>>Constant orgy
>>mfw EK is the only girl

>>3269415
Mechanical engineer here. I agree with this notion.

Your priority should be to dig at a slant with whatever objects you find until you reach the surface.

>>3269426

EK admitted he was a man a couple of times. The pictures of girls he posts are youtube whores.

You all can continue doing shit tier jobs building gardens and shit.

Me and Physics Guy will keep up the work on the theory of everything.

>>3269422

>>start planting. I'd be willing to bet everything you'd need to make tissue cultures of plants are in there. Make a growth chamber with foil and fluorescent lights. food problem solved.

Good thinking. The potting soil in the gardening section wouldn't stay viable forever, but a Costco should have the PVC pipe, aquarium gravel and pumps needed for hydroponics.

So who is in charge? How is order maintained?

>>3269433
Then what explains the dumb? WAT EXPLAINS THE DUMB?

>>3269411

1) Gather some bleach
2) Ammonia
3) Mix both in giant tub

>>3269436

I say EK is in charge

>>3269436
Anons are in charge, tripfags are the working class.

>>3269436
Physics Guy.

no need to create an order, or government of any kind since there are only 16 people on sci.
I'd definitely start working on vegetation, for obvious reasons and eventually we'll have a self sustaining environment.
I don't think we should procreate because there is an issue of medical attention, and equipment, and limited space.
Then of course we'll all think and talk about science. conduct experiments and record our findings.
there is a serious over abundance of food and their rotting will be detrimental to our health, so we need to find a way to dispose of that.

I'll make weapons and slowly kill you off one by one whenever you separate from the herd.
It's obviously a survival of the fittest situation.

i would begin by analyzing the rock to try to figure out what kind of rock it is and how best to get us out of this situation.

>>3269463
It's time to take our haldol.

Other top priority: Get them radios blasting. We can fit out the ventilation hole, but I'm sure we can send an antenna up it.

>>3269464
You're going to get hit in the neck with a mining pick while you're off alone analyzing that rock.

Costco is easy mode. Make some TATP, blow your way out.

Fuck you guys, I'm going off to find a .357 magnum and produce LSD in mass quantities.
Then meditate on the origins of everything.

>>3269468
good point. arm myself first. though the nature of rock analysis lends itself to being somewhat armed to begin with.

Does Cosco have a pharmacy element? One of the /sci/ surveys indicated something like 20% of /sci/ has some kind of chronic pain, not to mention any other conditions in the populations.

Assuming it to be about 30-50 of us.

>>3269473
I don't think Costco carries Ergine.
Or organic chemistry lab equipment.

start digging, that should be priority
make catalogs of the food and supplies, see how long it lasts
if digging fails, you need to think long term,
hopefully there's some fish, if so try to manage it.
Plants sweet potatoes if there's any, that's the highest yield

Keep digging

About maintaining order, it shouldn't be too hard if we have enough food. If we don't we're fucked pretty much

>>3269472
I'd be reluctant to blast mine initially, we have next to know idea how our air is getting to or or our electricity.

If they go out it'd be game over in hours.

>>3269467
Just don't fuck up the ventilation fans and kill us all.

>>3269478

What? Pic related

plants don't grow under fluorescent lights...

>>3269437
lol that's exactly what I was thinking

You say there's an air hole. That means we can get out easy that way. We just need to use the chemicals in costco to construct a bomb to blow us out.

If that somehow doesn't work, then I'll just wait until costco corporate blows a way in. Think of the profits they're losing!

Right, so we have food growing using products from the greenhouse section, with all kinds of lights (not just fluorescent) from the electronics section.

So providing the population stays stable we could survive indefinitely.

>>3269522
I'm sure costco has all sorts of lights. It's a finite resource though, We'd have to fab our own somehow.

>implying I don't sneak off to the hunting section steal all the guns and kill anyone who opposes my order

Since I have a concealed weapons license and always pack heat, I guess I am in charge.
-The religious trolls in /sci/ get executed. IMMEDIATELY.
They are then cooked and eaten. Since they have taken Communion, their bodies are probably improved and consecrated by their consuming of Jesus' flesh and blood.
- Determine what food will spoil the fastest and eat that first.
- Organize supply conservation, labor, entertainment, and orgies.

In order to get underground, there would need to be a large area cut out. If all the sides are solid rock, then the top is the way out and is probably blocked only by fill. There's probably a reasonable limit to how deep the hole is, so dig a tunnel from the roof sloping upwards in two or three directions to ensure we're not heading up a hill.

what about plumbing?

>>3269522
Yes they do...
Seedlings or clones grow most commonly under CFLs because they don't need a very bright light when they're small.
A CFL puts out light very similar to the type of light created by metal halide bulbs, one of the most common types of lights used to grow plants beside high pressure sodium bulbs.

>>3269546

Inexplicably, there's solid rock on all sides. As if the Costco was teleported there, exchanged for an identical volume of solid rock.

>>3269530

As stated in the OP, the ventilation ducts are too small to fit a person through.

>>3269563

Then surely we can figure out how to build a primitive TBM and go for it. I don't intend on spending the rest of my life with you assholes.

>>3269563
build a small robot or remote control climber, with a camera, goes up the air vent, maybe a some with kind of sound, robot goes to the surface, looks for help

>>3269530
explosives near our only air hole is probably not a good idea if we're deep in the earth. estimating our depth underground shouldn't be too difficult though.

I have a feeling that when we dig out we're going to be on the face of a mountain.

Not enought motivation to leave/threat within Cosco. I'm staying put and eating ferrero rocher.
>oh ambassador, you spoil us

I'd probably just yeld myself, eat and go to the toilet. It wouldn't surprise me if someone killed me. I'm a coward. Stay passive til you die, that's my motto.

>>3269411

I'd start digging and following the air duct and don't stop until I escape.

I'm not fucking staying in a Costco with /sci/

>>3269582

>>build a small robot or remote control climber, with a camera, goes up the air vent, maybe a some with kind of sound, robot goes to the surface, looks for help

....Interesting. Costco would have RC cars, home security cameras, and the equipment necessary to power both the car and the camera over a tether. If you ran out you could just build an additional length of tether.

So let's say you do this. After a long period of inching the car up a sloped ventilation duct it finally comes out in a darkened, steel walled room. A loud, constant humming of machinery can be heard. You switch on the flashlight you had the foresight to attach to the camera, then drive up to a metal plate on the wall.

Suppose lots of small charges would work actually

>>3269640

You'd eventually need to blast out someplace to keep human waste and rotted food. Might want to conserve explosives though and plan out tunnel networks carefully as there's only so much explosive material you can make with what's on hand.

>>3269611

Stop changing the rules.

I'd shit in your bed and piss on your flowers

So, assuming there are girls. They will be a minority. But we'll all want sex.

Do we arrange some kind of turn based system?

>>3269611
how long exactly does it travel for and at what speed? in other words, what distance does it travel to get to this room?

I suggest we all play Dwarf Fortress for better understanding of our situation.

>>3269653

>>Stop changing the rules.

I'm not. You're trying to break the game because for you this is about making sure people know how smart you are. For me, it's a study of how a community could build its own micro civilization and survive in a relatively small, closed system.

So I played along. You wanted to explore the ducts, I let you, and revealed what was at the end. You don't like it, and that's fair, but work with it.

>>3269611
>A depth gauge next to it reads "36,000 ft."

Then I realize OP is a faggot and we would all be baked alive below that depth, unless there were larger cooling ducts that we could climb out of.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole

>>3269673
pack small explosives one the car and blow open the doors.

RIght, so we're 36,000ft down, that's 10.9km. The deepest mine is 3.9km, so drilling us out or any kind of topside communication is hopeless (hopefully I'll be proved wrong).

There is one place on Earth 10.9km deep, the Mariana Trench, something of Mad Scientists favourite place on the planet. Making me think that we're probably 36,000ft below the waves just south of Japan, else there's no way out.

Of course it is entirely possible that the pressure gauge is a fake and this is all to test us as a group.

>>3269715
Well, we're in a giant underground costco.

If we're not on Earth, I assume we have the technology to build an underground facility on another world. That means we likely have the technology to dig out of it.

>>3269730
For a lowerclassfag. lulz.

>>3269740

>>That means we likely have the technology to dig out of it.

Only what's available in that Costco.

>>3269755
Costco has large machinery for stacking and the like. With so many mechanical engineers, it'd be trivial to rig one up to drill a way out.

>>3269755
Which, at that point in the technological timeline, would probably be enough to dig our way out.

>>3269730
Kentuckyfag here

I approve of this bourbon.

>>3269776

>>Which, at that point in the technological timeline, would probably be enough to dig our way out.

In this scenario, it's still 2011. How the Costco got wherever it is remains a mystery. Work with that.

>>3269732

Yes, it's possible that the gauge is fake and that all of this is some kind of social experiment. You could rig the RC probe with explosives and try to breech that room. But if you're wrong, water rushes in and you all quickly drown.

>>3269656

I'm surprised it took this long for one of you to suggest the organized rape of all the girls present.

>>3269806

It's a legit question. If there's not enough women to go around, it will result in fighting. Some kind of system for sharing women needs to be devised.

I think we'd want our own places to sleep/keep our stuff pretty quickly. Human nature. There should be shit for building sheds and stuff, or just wall off the lowest levels of those shelving units. Plenty of bedding material, mattresses, sheets, etc.

Nobody's discussed how draconian the methods would have to be for keeping the population under control...

>>3269813
The solution is engineering.

>>3269838

Like this society would survive long enough for a pregnancy to come to term.

Assuming that this highly unlikely scenario actually occurred then the answers would be.

>How will labor be divided?
By some sort of vote / democratic process, possibly overseen by a leader / role figure

What are our priorities?

1. Sorting out some sort of democratic structure overseen by a leader / role figure and keep record of what happens.

>Build a garden?
unlikely in the short term unless there is soil

Construct private residences?
>very unlikely in the short terms, long term yes

>Secure weapons
no

>establish a social order?
no need to establish it will happen naturally

>>3269848

I think the canned food would last well beyond 9 months bro.

>>3269872
>unless there is soil

Cosco has a greenhouse section, likely there'd be compost.

>>3269879
And if not, spoiled food and human waste would likely do the job.

If anyone happened to have weed on them, couldn't that be used to grow more?

>>3269885
Ever since this thread began I've been thumbing over and over a small seed.

>>3269890

That single seed could save us all from murderous insanity.

Wouldn't the soil deplete over time? Or can we keep on fertilizing it with our shit endlessly? If it eventually becomes barren then it would be wise to save agricultural efforts until we're close to running out of food. There should be enough left to feed us for the first few harvests to make sure it's working out, after which we'd rely entirely on the farm.

Somebody mentioned hydroponics earlier and that sounds plausible but I think you need some special kind of liquid plant food for that.

>>3269411
>Same for all exits, suggesting the entire building is deep underground.

The roof is not an exit so in theory could be protruding above the solid rock. Perhaps this is how fresh air is mysterious entering the building?

costco still have a cage filled with thousands of cartons of cigarettes?

>>3269934
yeah I'm sure the nutrients would deplete over time, using human waste and food waste would help but without suitable soil nothing will grow. Not sure of time scales, I'm guessing years rather than months.

>>3269948
as long as population stays about the same size, there shouldn't be any nutrient lost. we are in a closed system. its somewhere we just need to get it back into the soil.

I'll be the first to speak up since there will be a bit of chaos in the beginning. I'll let people group with friends and then divide the rest evenly. Each group gets an assignment such as waste disposal, food, water, shelter, power, etc.

Since being idle in this situation is bad, I would come up with a big project that everyone participates in. Like re-sorting all the supplies and tearing down the store shelves for other uses. Cleaning, maintenance. Maybe an exercise and beautification program. Just general, easy, and harmless things to keep everyone busy.

Food would be rationed until a balance is struck between supply and demand. Junk food would be unsustainable so it would probably be used for something else other than consumption. Making alcohol, compost, or whatever else.

The pharmacy would be inventoried and all useful medications would be re-stored elsewhere. Highly addictive substances would be locked away and the key would be hidden.

After that, it's just surviving. I'd volunteer as part of the electronics department. Come up with an intranet for everyone, games, communications, etc. Most of those places have lots of TVs and movies so i'd set up recreational pods around the store.

I propose a benevolent authoritarian system. Absolute order will be maintained, employing about half the population to police the rest. This will prevent theft, murder, and all other types of crime as well as preventing any unauthorized pregnancies that could increase the population beyond a sustainable size.

>>3270005

I vote that we kill this guy.

i'd like to hear more about what would happen to the few females that would be in the Costco.

In the short term, sex for the purpose of procreation probably won't be considered (only if we set up a viable civilization will it be), but sex for recreation will be on the minds of pretty much every guy. The question is, will the females get a say who they have sex with or will they be forcibly raped?

>>3270053

>>The question is, will the females get a say who they have sex with or will they be forcibly raped?

How about this: Once a week, late at night, all the women get inside a big shed of some kind that we'd build for the purpose. There are glory holes in the walls. This way they can't see who they're having sex with and neither can the men. Everyone's satisfied, attractiveness doesn't factor into it, and nobody gets left out.

I'd make a work bench, gather planks of wood and diamond from the jewelry section, make some picketed and get out of there.

I have children and grandchildren. I would find a way out or I would die trying.

Of course I am simply interested in science and am not in fact a scientist or even particularly clever so I would not be missed in your strange new world.

If I made no headway trying to escape then I would use any time not spent escaping teaching you all about what I do know well, construction, and creating efficient teams with the available manpower.

Obviously most of you likely know more about that then I do as well, but you know theory where as I have many decades of experience with application. I am well aware that with crews of varying experience and physical aptitude, bullshit is going to happen, and a lot of it. Given our finite resources I would try to minimize wasting materials and manpower, assuming that anybody would even listen to me.

I would think that once it was decided that escape was impossible that our first priorities would be waste management, and creating sustainable food sources.

And after about a month had passed, my kidneys would fail completely and I would die.

I do conceal carry at all times so I would have a weapon which I would relinquish to whoever seemed to me to be the most rational and fair-minded person. I would possibly use my age to my advantage while selecting such a person as it would be perhaps fairly easy to pretend to be much more powerless then I actually am.

I would possibly hand it over with the ccondition that one bullet be reserved for my personal use later on when lack of medication becomes a severe issue for me.

When i was a young man I suppose my immediate priority would have been to assist in the democratic formation of a chain of command to deal with our resources, so that they were not wasted by conflicting projects and so on.

>>3270105

I nominate wise old guy as our leader. May his majestic white beard guide us all.

>>3270084
what about the small penised?

>>3270053
I like the idea of consent.

Just sayin'.

>>3270084
If only costco sold fleshlights.

Holy shit, we would have no porn.
What the fuck! What are we supposed to fap to?
I'm sure as hell not fapping to god damn EK.
Fuck this shit.

>>3270084
that seems like a reasonable idea...until one of the females gets attached to someone.

>>3270128
But Costco has pencils and paper, right? Sure, the porn that we draw ourselves will be shitty as fuck, but it's better than fapping to EK…

>>3270164

>that seems like a reasonable idea...until one of the females gets attached to someone.

execute the male they get attached to perhaps? That way we have fewer males and the females know that they can't get attached.

>>3270181

This is a horrible idea.

Guys, what if all of the engineers took female growth hormones and became traps?

Sure we would have to fuck feminine man ass, but I don't think people will complain all that much when we're down there.
It would save a lot of hardship for the femanons and everyone would get their dick/ass wet. Of course, the engineers anuses would probably get infected after a while, but whatever, we can figure that out later.

>>3270181
Today its somebody you dont give a shit about, tomorrow its you.
Do you want to live in a world in which any desirable person can have you assassinated by proxy simply by feigning interest?
I dont.

>>3270203
does costco even sell female growth hormones?

>>3270181

It's fine if they get attached. We can have couples, that works. However, everyone's wife/girlfriend still goes into the box once a week, no exceptions.

are we even certain that there are any femanons? There very well could be zero.

>>3270234
yes, there is at least one.

>>3270234
Yup.

I think we all can agree we should rape all the females

could we start one of those fight clubs? always wanted to do that.

>>3270248

>>mfw that one femanon has to suck every neckbeard's dick once a week

Truly a fate worse than death.

>>3270281
Those *two* femanons, you mean. Assuming that >>3270248 wasn't lying, of course. Although at least I know this scenario is never going to actually happen in real life, mandatory neckbeard dicksucking and all.

>>3270221
only in packs of 2000

>>3270303
i wasn't. i'm kind of glad that this isn't actually happening if it was going to go down like that.

>>3270319

What if all or most of the guys were handsome?

>>3270327
Then it would be mildly better, but there's still not much appealing about the situation.
>>3270319
Yeah, if it actually did happen, I'd probably go crazy pretty quickly. And good to know I'm not the only femanon here. :)

The scenario in this topic already happened to me. It's extremely depressing because I'm the only one who realizes that this scenario is describing the reality we live in.

Earth is the Costco we can't escape. The guy who said he'd keep everyone busy, well that's what they do. All the people who don't keep busy become conspiracy theorists, they think too much, they realize how we are trapped in the aquarium the same way a fish in a fish tank must realize it.

First form a posse consisting of the most muscular and fit men with the same point of view as myself, then quickly find Inurdaes and other tripfags and confine them somewhere so they can't have a say, possible through some sort of ruse. This would secure the confidence and support of the rest of everyone in /sci/.

I would then declare that we are going to find a way out of costco, we would have a little council meeting first to plan but I would have the final say just to speed things up, I doubt anyone would disagree with the final verdict but any who do can join the tripfags, naturally I would join in on some of the dangerous and laborious tasks for an hour or so before returning to administration and I would also tell them I'm not an asshole I'm just trying to get shit done and I realize they could replace me and I would nominate one of my posse to replace me if they don't like me to ensure that we continue to stay organized and do no descend into petty squabbling.

After teams have finished investigating the situation, like climbing to the roof and finding potentially useful equipment, I would summon another council meeting and compose a multi-tier approach to escaping, attempts to drill through the wall at several points, attempts to find the source of the air, attempts to allow people to safely reach the roof so we can try to break through there, other ideas people may have come up with, teams to cook and prepare food, sleeping areas and sanitation, properly organize the posse to enforce discipline and put the tripfags to work, preparing other administrators to take over while I go to sleep, perhaps a few people designated to provide for entertainment, creating a shift system so that we can work on certain areas round the clock.

After the teams have finished investigating the situation, like climbing to the roof and finding potentially useful equipment, I would summon another council meeting and compose a multi-tier approach to escaping, attempts to drill through the wall at several points, attempts to find the source of the air, attempts to allow people to safely reach the roof so we can try to break through there, other ideas people may have come up with, teams to cook and prepare food, sleeping areas and sanitation, properly organize the posse to enforce discipline and put the tripfags to work, preparing other administrators to take over while I go to sleep, perhaps a few people designated to provide for entertainment, creating a shift system so that we can work on certain areas round the clock.

All the faggots trying to create a utopia will get ignored by everyone.

All the faggots trying to create a dictatorship would get ganged up on while they sleep.

I couldn't be bothered dealing with you guys for the rest of my natural life, so probably suicide.

Every one of you is imagining yourself in a leadership role, aren't you? You think you can single handedly win over a bunch of argumentative people, half of them as dedicated to rule as you, and the other half keeping the hell out of the way until the conflict is resolved?

Good luck to you.

>>3271659

The only things I'm thinking about are the orgies and rape parties.

>>3271686
Yes. Somehow, orgies and rape parties with the denizens of /sci/ is kind of my idea of hell, so suicide still applies.

>>3271659
the only thing i'm thinking about is trying to not getting raped.

>trapped with a bunch of amoral nerds who don't understand evolution and apply survival of the fittest to everything

What do we do with the underageb&s?

We should definitely eat all the perishable food first.
The best thing I can think of to do in this situation would be to make a flywheel out of a wheelbarrow and barrels of water, then charge it up and send an SOS signal in morse code back through the power grid. Hopefully, with time someone would notice the fluctuation and start digging.
How much food is there in a costco normally?

>>3272043
make a cage from trellis and keep them in it?

>>3271659
The fact everyone wants to be king is why there are kings.

>>3272047
my Costco has some fresh foods (fruits, vegetables, meat, etc.), but not nearly as much as all the processed crap that they sell.

>>3272074
In that case I guess we should eat the fresh stuff, saving seeds/waste, then plant new fruit?

Re: guns

I think it best if they are gathered up and destroyed. This would prevent any one person or group from gaining absolute, uncontested control over the rest.

Sure, there's a chance that those controlling the guns would be lawful decent people and keep the rest in line, but there's also the chance that whoever monopolizes the guns would be a sick, evil bastard. Better to put everyone on a level playing field than risk tyranny.

>>3269411

What is a costco? I take it that its some kind of megamart?

I'm beating blokes for their cocaine and raping EK.

Survive in costco?
I'll keep to myself, trying to stay on everyone's good side, in fear of them freaking, because people's emotions can turn on a dime in these sorts of situations.

I guess I will do manual labor in term of work.

>>3272125

this is actually an excellent idea
but then what if zombies shows up?

browsing this thread, I think alot of you dont realize what a Costco is. They generally dont carry any sort of hardware and only a small garden center, no weapons(firearms) just kitchen utensils. They're definitely not as varied as other big box stores like Walmart, Target, etc. More like a grocery store that sells in bulk with just some random electronics and appliances thrown in.

>>3272125
What happens when they find knives? Or worse, some asshat builds a handful of coil guns?

Evenly distribute the guns and ammunition.

How do we distribute foods/goods/entertainment? I'm sure there are doctors on /sci/; how do we determine who gets priority treatment?

Are we a barter society? Do we have currency? Are we just trusting each other to be honest, to not take more than they need and to contribute back to the microsociety?

>>3272178

>>What happens when they find knives? Or worse, some asshat builds a handful of coil guns?

No homemade coilguns exist that are lethally powerful. And knives are fine, the idea is to make it so that if someone needs to be killed, it takes several people to do it, so there has to have been some kind of consensus about the necessity of it. With guns, anyone can kill anyone else, even many people before they're taken down. That amount of power makes it possible for any nutjob to cause serious harm.

And everyone having guns opens the possibility of tribalism, miniature nation states waging war in a system where everyone must cooperate if anyone is to survive.

>>3272230
You're ignoring the key factor here, when you arm everyone people are less likely to commit violent crime and go on murder sprees because the first asshole they try to kill will probably kill them.

Where as you would have the first idiot to make a compressed air gun or some kind of ranged weapon suddenly gain all the power? Hell lets say more than one compressed air gun pops up, suddenly you have an arms race between divided factions.

Don't worry, it's not your fault you've been brainwashed by gun control propaganda.

>>3272223
It obviously depends on how many people are in the Costco. Smaller groups are easier to control without any artificial systems in place. Is there any way to get a rough estimate of how many people visit /sci/?

>>3272264
just...
no. That's not how it works.
When you arm everyone, you up the stakes hugely: Look at the cold war, or American gun crime statistics

>>3272286
>just...
>no. That's not how it works.
Oh okay, I'll just be over here with all my charts and graphs and evidence.

But apparently I'm wrong because that's just not how it works.

>>3272316
>violent crime is gun crime
There aren't many guns in the UK, and those that are here are on farms and in the countryside. A graph that ends 20 years before today comparing gun ownership largely unrelated crime is not evidence.
The main reason I argue as I do is because I know that in this situation I would probably feel inclined to stage a coup far more than if I didn't have a gun if something upset me.

>>3272338
That's missing an ampersand, whoops :/

>>3272286

Criminals will get their hands on guns no matter what. By taking away legal gun ownership. you're disarming the now defenseless public.

>>3272345
quite. I'm sure if you got rid of all the guns there would be loads of guns.

>>3272352

The government will only take away guns that are registered. Seeing as how I'm pretty sure criminals don't have a Class III license to own some of the automatic firearms they have, it can be said that those weapons, which the criminals are using, won't be taken away.

>>3272365
We're talking about an underground shop, not the US.

>>3272365
Criminals don't have licenses?
So you're saying that 100% of the people with gun licenses will never commit a crime?

>>3272365
If you make something illegal, you can still get it but it ten times harder to get it.

If you want some cocaine or something you can't just go to the cocaine store and buy that shit, you have to go underground and risk dealing with all that shady shit.

>>3272373

How did you make that connection? I was simply stating that the unregistered firearms most criminals use won't be taken away.

>>3272352
Will you quit being willfully ignorant already?

No guns: I am about to stab you to death. What do you do? Run? I'm faster. I stab you. To death.

Guns: I not even going to fuck with you because you have a gun.

>>3272101
sounds like a good plan, just depends if the seeds will actually grow things.

I'm not doing an English major, and I've never claimed to have any qualifications in English.

>>3272396
Wrong.

If the intention is to kill you then the gun isn't usefull because the assailant always has an upper hand.

If the intent is to rob then gun won't be usefull because you will be dead before you can shoot. Again the assailant has an upper hand.

Only situation where gun is usefull is a situation where you don't even need it. Example, fat and slow dude is pointing a knife at you. You could just run/walk if the dude is fat enough.
This might be broken logic but it's still better than yours.

It doesn't even matter because the store doesn't carry weapons, but I'm actually having a bit of fun arguing gun control politics with you people.

Needless to say, projectile weaponry will be made, explosives will be made, and EK will probably be raped to death.

mfw I'm the only physician there and my services will guarantee I have a fairly high social status. No, I don't want power or leadership, I just want protection, peace and quiet, dem cigarettes and alcohol.

>>3272492

I am, if only because I can't do sports or art. My best non-academic skill is drawing stick men that look somewhat similar to Randall Munroe's.

>>3272498
I'm confident that i'm speaking for all of us when i conclude that this would happen:

>Needless to say, projectile weaponry will be made, explosives will be made, and EK will probably be raped to death.

I'm sorry Mad Scientist, but if you wanted to theorize about an utopia you should have gone to a designer's board.
We in /sci/ won't lie to you about what would really happen, if anything chaos would reign at the start. Then social groups will start, people who want to get out, people who want to take the power, faggots still crying about their misfortune etc. Then, and after some drugs and alcohol we will probably start our dig-out.

>>3272501
Sriously, what do you guys think would happen to this man. I mean, would we kill him, eat his corpse, or force him to provide his "services" at gunpoint just to lock him in a cage afterwards?

>>3272583
Neither, probably. A physician wouldn't be that much use, given that he would be without tools or medicine.

Can someone explain what's so wrong with wanting to be leader?

Leadership is an important step in getting shit done, if someone just wants to be leader for the sake of it they'd be caught out pretty quickly by those who want to be leader to get shit done, then after realizing not everyone can be leader those who want to get shit done would choose the best leader in order to get shit done since they do not want to become leader for the sake of it.

>>3272618
>Implying that someone is implying there is something wrong with wanting to be a leader.

>>3272601
You would be amazed at what can be done with shit from Costco.. Have you heard fe. about peritoneal dialysis? If someone we're to develope kidney failure, I would perform a procedure which involves entering the peritoneal cavity by incision of the abdominal layers (regular knife from meat section will do), performed in a sterile enviornment (bleach and isopropyl alcohol will do), infusion of sterile saline solution (contact lense fluid) into the cavity, waiting a few hours, then removing the fluid and suturing the wound. Anaestetic can be provided by making nitrous oxide in a fairly easy reaction by a chemist. Yes, I know the person would die from the failure, just saying.

Yes, I would be useful.

>>3272601
>implying there is no pharmacy

ITT: little kids talk about living in COSTCO

wtf /sci/? WTF?

>>3272618

>"I wanna be the leader, no I'm the leader! No I'm the leader! No I'm the leader times two! Well I'm the leader times infinity!
>WILL YOU PEOPLE SHUT THE FUCK UP, I'M TRYING TO MAKE A JACK HAMMER AND NITROGLYCERIN OVER HERE.

Let me start off by saying that I really appreciate this thread, Mad Scientist.It is very reminiscent of something you'd see on /tg/. If you want your scenario to be played out in a more serious or thoughtful manner, I would suggest coming up with some stock of what we have to work with in a costco. Personally, when I imagine a costco, my head is just sort of filled with images of roof-high shelves covered in ambiguous "stuff".
So lets say
there are 50 of us in this costco. For starters, we should gather all non-perishable foods and ration it in calorie based portions and put it aside for when we run out of perishables. It seems like it would be easy to make personal dwellings by clearing areas of the shelves and sectioning them off. We would also have lots of grilling equipment and coal at our disposal for controlled applications of heat.

>>3272668
>implying there is no bleach, isopropyl alcohol, decent set of knives and a tent in Costco that could be put up, making a makeshift operating room.
although I agree, anaestetics would be a problem, but if we could make nitrous oxide, problem solved
>implying oral hormonal therapy and condoms are the only way to prevent pregancy
Those are preventative measures, I could make a female STERILE. A man too.

>>3272674
ctnd: Rather than having centralized leadership, I would suggest separating people based on major or personal skill set. Within these subsets "chiefs" would be selected based on personal merit or level of educations and they would mostly focus on setting up stations to better apply their crafts for the good of the mini-society. Resources could be delegated based on the chiefs meeting and discussing how they wish to apply it, then a vote is held to decide which projects take priority. Chiefs would also need to work in conjunction to figure out ways that certain specialties could be applied to other fields for everyone's benefit.

This would never work. As soon as one religious troll shows up, nothing productive ever gets done.

>>3272692
Most trolls only troll because the internet lets them get away with it. If put face to face I really don't see this being an issue outside of leisure time discussion.

>>3272692
I believe 90% of people here are hardcore atheists. I think he would be killed or put into some form of hard labour as soon as the atheists got wind of him.

>>3272673
Those who want to become leader for the sake of it will be on their own while those who want to get shit done and were just throwing it out there will team up and overpower them. Unless a street gang regularly browses /sci/ I don't think there will be any problems in that department.

>>3272683
If I remember correctly there's some way of pulling the codeine out of cocodamol tablets, you could probably make a pretty strong alternative. Good idea with the tent/isopropanol though, you get a can of kidney beans.

>>3272705
dat mental image

>>3272710
kidney beans wat?!

>>3272721
I'm just saying that if we were actually trapped in a subterranean costco I would give you a can of kidney beans.

>>3272725
I want a bottle of whiskey

>>3272732
too bad.

Do the faucets work, Mad Scientist? Fresh water would be a serious concern once the bottled and canned liquids run out. Ideally we'd need to set up a purification system or some way to recycle urine. Also, if we could establish a drip to the ocean water we could do something with that.

>>3272674
>>3272686
A more flexible ad-hoc approach would be more efficient, in part because your influence is weak and in part because stringent specialization is unnecessary to begin with.

If you stand on top of a soap box and declare that everyone give you their resumes and sit and wait to be assigned a job no one is going to take you seriously.

>>3272721
Kidney beans are a good source of soluble fiber.

>>3272732
if there is oak in the costco I will make you whiskey. If there isn't oak I will make you something similar.

I'm worried about the size of the costco. 20-30 people should be no problem. 30-50 will need careful management 50+ there might not be enough floorspace to replenish food supplies.

>>3272772

>>Do the faucets work, Mad Scientist?

Yes, as well as the toilets. So really, waste isn't an issue, although you'd wind up saving some for fertilizer anyway.

>>3272814

>>I'm worried about the size of the costco.

Don't be. Pic related.

>>3272845
Perfect, we could water crops as well. Seems like it would be somewhat simple to set up a terraced farming operation using any growing lights in the store (which I'm going out on a limb and assuming they have). If the gardening section has seeds we would have a pretty reliable source of food.

>>3272852
meh, that still isn't huge. To support a human on stuff you'd find in costco you'd probably need at least half an acre each :/

>>3272856
Yeah, but what if the bulbs go out. If we look at this from a perspective of a few years, than we may actually sustain a population of 20-40 people. But in the long run (10+ years, implying we don't kill eachother till then in some power struggle) we will run out of things such as said light bulbs. Tools will eventually break down. Population increase is out of the question.

I would take care of the entertainment.

Someone has to do something to keep people level-headed. I'd imagine once everyone finds out that we're unimaginably deep underground, chaos would ensue. That's where the drugs and entertainment come in. I would make comedic/drama productions using a home camcorder and play them through the television sets, assuming we don't have access to satellite TV.

>>3272852
How big is that?

It takes hundreds of square meters to provide food for one person. Something like 300 m² if you use only potatoes.
People can't live with only potatoes so actual area needed would be even larger.

Add to that the lack of soil most of the people will probably just starve (presuming they won't kill themselves when fihthing for food)

>>3272879
won't they have literally thousands of light bulbs on shelves and in storage?

>>3272880
I'll ferment my own shit and sniff it until I'm high. That'll be my entertainment.

Unless there will be a saviour who will have some cannabis seeds handy, who he just happened to have in his pocket at the time of abduction.

Suddenly "Imagine" by Lennon came to my mind. No religion, countries.. Just brotherhood. And weed.

>>3272887
terraces. terraces everywhere.

composted shit and spoiled food could be made into a sort of soil. There will be soil in the gardening area for starters. Fertilization could be provided by more of our piss and shit. Na+, K+, Cl-, fosforous = Shit and piss

>>3272887
The gardening section would have manure and what-not for soil, and if we terraced our growing operations we could have very efficient use of floor space. Not to mention costco starts out literally packed with food, hopefully enough to last until we get more sustainable operations off the ground. In very long term though? It would be a tomb. Without systems built specifically to support us down there, we simply wouldn't be able to last without the incoming energy of the sun. UNLESS WE MANAGE SOME SORT OF MUSHROOM FARMING OPERATION! We would need to work to establish cave like mini-ecosystems.

>>3272919
There wouldn't be enough plugs to be able to use lamps on lower shelves.

I'm loving that terraced farming idea. Vertical farms in a Costco. Fucking love this thread.

>>3272919
>>3272921
hivemind

Holy shit, I like the mushroom idea. We'd be some sort of freaks, eventually using sound to locate eachother in the dark.

Though we'd eventually die from the lack of sunlight. Active form of vitamin D3 would not be made, we would die from lack of absorbtion of Calcium and phosphates in our system

i have a question, do we get access to the storage rooms as well as the main shop?

>>3272928
We could use mirrors and other reflective surfaces to sort of insulate the light in the terrace unit. Also, I can imagine costco has plenty of power strips, I don't know if plugs would be that big of an issue. Also, does anyone have any ideas of what we could do with the freezers? Once we run out of the food already stored in them (and outside of storing food as we produce it) what uses could we get out of several giant freezing cold rooms?

>>3272928
We could make our own extra cables and extensions, scavenge cables from useless fridges and household appliances.

>>3272942

Luckily, the pharmacy will have loads of vitamins.

>>3272921
It doesn't work like that.
The place should be literally packed with soil forming materials to create the needed area for any large number of people. The space isn't usually the biggest problem, although it's still a big problem.

You need something like 500 m³ space and somethin like 150m³ soil material for everyone. Assuming 500m² area of plants and 30 cm of soil and 70 cm space for the plants and harvesting.


But how many people are you even planning to stuff in there.

>>3272934

Ok the only possible way to avoid an unfavorable outcome is to boldly say that this particular costco has no guns.

Otherwise game theory kicks in, and it seems that I will likely be the first one there since I know that is my priority in such a situation.

However, I would agree having properly armed myself to put all the guns into the safes and to have everyone be responsible for one part of the combination. That way no one person can use the guns.

That would open up some really interesting game mechanics.

>>3272960
Well, for the sake of this hypothetical scenario, enough that it would be feasible, otherwise there is no point in even suggesting things. However, I don't have a concrete idea of how many that is.

>>3272952
ACTIVE form of D3. The vitamin itself doesn't do shit. UV rays are needed to start the activation process in the skin to eventually in the kidney 1,25(OH)D3.. Medical biochemistry is a bitch to learn

>>3272950
>>3272951
touche. Not sure if the fuses will take the amount of power you'd need, but it's worth a try.
Costco/most chain food stores have refridgerated rooms already. Fridges and freezers probably wouldn't be any use for anything other than shelving.

>>3272978
Yeah, I was wondering what survival applications a giant freezing room would have outside of food storage, none immediately come to mind.

>>3272965

Sorry my thought process is really incomprehensible from my text.

I was reading your stuff on guns >>3272125

And it misses the point that at the time needed to gather up the guns you assume cooperation, and that someone (me) doesn't run to the hunting section.

>>3272994
It seems utterly insane to me that in 2011 you still get shops that will just sell you something designed primarily for killing.

>>3272972

Luckily, they carry UV bulbs too. Install them in the dwellings so you get a decent dose of UV in your off time.

>>3273001

Yeah, but no humans. Well... not INTENDED for humans.

>>3272994
>>3273001
I actually don't think costco sells firearms. At least not the one I go to. I'm going to go play a game of league of legends, but I'll check back on the thread when I'm done.

>2011
>hunting
at most, hunting's a hobby. There's nobody in the US who actually needs to do it to survive anymore.

>>3273014

Well duh... I didn't say otherwise.

>>3273014
In the Costco/prison/cave/microcivilisation you might...

Aside from our terraced farming, it would be good to try to set up everything as vertical as we possibly can, floor space being a primary concern. Dwellings included, as I said earlier, you could pretty easily turn the giant roof-high shelves into small apartments.

>>>/x/7991672

>mfw /x/ copied this thread

We establish some form of food source, probably gardening. We then divide the store into sections that will study and experiment the laws of the universe. Every week the each section sends their section leader, along with a written report, to a meeting where all of the information of the week is gathered, organized and put into a time capsule for safe keeping. When some civilization finds it, they will have the answers to the universe.

FOOD:
we're in a cosco, a large amount of food that does not spoil. For he food that does spoil, we
fill the fridges with it. If it can't fit, we burn it.
Long term, we go to the gardening section, get some potted plants, and make some food. We find some plant lights, etc. To provide enough food for 30-50 people, we would have to fine creative replacements for potted plants.

Water: bottle water and soda is short term, filtering our pee is long term.

Habitat: we make cool pillow forts

Entertainment: we have t.vs and some movies, rc cars and planes, and the greatest hide and go seek man child facility ever.

Social: To accomodate the summer fags, we make 6-8 families. Because of the lack of woman, families as:
2 male engineers + <18 year old
1 female, 3 males + 1 or 2<18 year old
4 male engineers + >65 year old
etc.

Done?

What the fuck do you need weapons for if you're going to die in a shop anyway?

>>3273182
what the fuck do you need money fore if you're going to die on a rock anyway?

>>3273179

I don't see why not, the only thing stopping most of us from rape is the police force.

Lack of police force = rape party

Pretty obvious consequence...

am i the only one who thinks that it's kind of funny that Costco actually sells emergency food kits?

>>3273170
You are not thinking out of the box here.

Any piece of bended metal could be used to make a bow, the string could be made from even stupid underwear waistbands, arrows from slim pieces of metal, sharpened. Skill would be only a matter of time.

Slingshot projectile to the face can kill you too. That I can make too. Or a fucking javelin.

sounds like we could have a science party

>>3273196

>mfw I attach knives to dowels and create much more effective spears far before you'll be able to make a bow

>>3273196
>Any piece of bended metal could be used to make a bow,
no, a bow needs to be able to flex and return to its original position.
>string could be made from underwear waistbands
again, no. the string on a bow should not be elastic.

On the plus side, this kind of weapon would probably be very safe indeed.

If there was a woman/women, they would undoubtedly be a minority. They would be forced to be slaves for our entertainment. They would be shared. The majority of males would for sure want that. If there were any white knights, they would be silenced

>>3273204
what about the homosex?

>>3273208

Use the guys who opposed the women thing.

>>3273202
You have no imagination..

>>3273208

the engineers can figure that out for themselves

>>3273209
touche
>>3273211
in the same sense as you have no concept of reality.

>>3273208
We'd all be homosex sooner or later

>>3273221
yeah, after the girls kill themselves.

>>3273225

And then we turn the engineers into traps.

>>3273225
They'd be kept in cages and guarded 24/7

>>3273243

>implying they wouldn't bite their own tongues and bleed to death.

>>3273248
We'll obviously gag them

>>3273217
You're being sceptical about everything since you came here tripfag. I'm not saying that's bad, being sceptical towards your own ideas makes you think and perfect.
But saying something simply won't work and giving up on it won't get you far. especially in these circumstances.

>>3273254

Snap their own neck?

Whadda ya got for that?

Guys, guys. Be reasonable.

We only need the initial women to survive until they give birth. Toss out the male babies and keep the female ones. Produce an excess of female babies and then paitently raise them until they are old enough.

Long before that, we dispose of the original women so we can indoctrinate their offspring into enjoying their lot in life without interference.

>>3273263
keep them gagged, stretched and watching them.

>>3273259
I'm being sceptical because I can see flaws in ideas, though they're good. Sayins something simply won't work is pointless, giving a reason is (hopefully) useful. I'm not giving up, I'm simply not forwarding any ideas because they've already been suggested.

Methinks you're just annoyed because you were wrong.

>>3273263
Strap them down to a bed, so they wont be able to move any park of their body.

>>3273270

Holy shit, the timescale you propose is ridiculous for many reasons.

Not least of which is a food concern.

>>3273270

>>Brainwashed loli wives

>>3273282
He offered a solution:
>toss out the male babies

>>3273280

Alright, alright.

Looks like we secured out rape source. Good job, anon.

>>3273279
Nah man, I'm cool..
Frankly, I'd thank you for showing me I was wrong

>>3273282
We could always breed other humans as livestock...
>>3273286
bueno indeed

>>3273299
More mouths to feed... No

We would only make those bueno loli wives, just to substitute the first women.

>>3273299

>breed other humans as livestock...

>>3273311
yeah, good point...

So happy I took a course in winemaking. Perfect for this situation

>>3273315

>>3273311

No... Personally I don't care for lolis, but I assume they'd have to be at least like 9 years old.

That's 9 years of food... Do you really think costco has that much for like at least 20 people?

>>Cannibalism
>>Rape parties
>>Keeping women in cages
>>Serial murder
>>Child abuse

Oh /Sci/, never change.

>>3273337
not sure if serious
wine is pretty cool though. If the situation were one where there was no new water, being able to make alcohol would be extremely useful.

>>3273351

>Ignoring realistic human behavior in such a scenario

Oh retarded anon, never change.

>>3273358
Cannibalism is unlikely, at least not of the living. The rest is probably going to happen, though.

>>3273344

>>That's 9 years of food... Do you really think costco has that much for like at least 20 people?

Sustainable agriculture, bro. Terraced farms mean three dimensional use of space to grow dense crops for plentiful food.

>>3273364
This man is correct

Read the thread before you post, we already covered the topic of food sustainability.
And it helps we have running clean water

>>3273371
What about meat? could we eat bugs or worms?

>>3273371

>Read a short novel before you ask a question that can be succinctly answered in one post

Yeah, I'll get right on that bro.

>>3273378
Hmmmm.. Cultivating roaches and other insects we find in the store might be a pretty good idea. They basically need only food. They multiply like crazy. We could use old fridges for storing them. Good source of protein.

>>3273378

>>What about meat? could we eat bugs or worms?

Costco carries pets now. Just sayin'.

>>3273398
But I don't wanna eat lassie

>>3273398
even better...

>>3273398

This will work for as long as the pet food holds out. The shit we don't want to eat anyway. After that point, animals that size would become difficult to sustain.

Unless we raise the herbivores like rabbits separately, feeding them bits of the plants we can't eat, and feeding bugs to the mice/rats, then feeding those animals to the larger carnivores.

>>3269788
>Yes, it's possible that the gauge is fake and that all of this is some kind of social experiment. You could rig the RC probe with explosives and try to breech that room. But if you're wrong, water rushes in and you all quickly drown.
Such an amount of water implies that there is an ocean: at this depth, the marinara trench. We could make deep-water submersible vehicles. Likewise, because the ventilation is too small to fit a man, it is easy to block if water comes in. We'd all stil have enough oxygen for a long time, due to the sheer size of the place. By the time oxygen runs out, we would have already figured a way out using the water.

>>3273461

Actually the oxygen problem is no longer even a problem given our sustainable agriculture

>>3273460
Why don't we just eat the rats??

>>3273461

>We could make deep-water submersible vehicles.

From what? What does a Costco contain that could be used to build a full ocean depth submersible?

>>Likewise, because the ventilation is too small to fit a man, it is easy to block if water comes in.

Not at that pressure.

>>We'd all stil have enough oxygen for a long time, due to the sheer size of the place.

You already have an essentially endless supply of fresh air.

>>3273479
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

You created this scenario, and we're stupid enough to put /sci/fags into it.

>>3273494

>>You created this scenario, and we're stupid enough to put /sci/fags into it.
>>we're stupid enough
>>we're
>>not "were"

>>3273504
we're kinda works there, if he's talking about what we're doing (submersibles and human farming

>>3273521

lolno good sir

>>3273525
lolyes
-He created the scenario
-We were stupid enough to put /sci/fags in it by acting like typical /sci/fags.
Mad Scientist is right though, it was meant to be "were"

>>3273536

So by completely ignoring contextual semantics you somehow think you are right...

brb killing myself

>>3272866
http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/05/ff_domestic_terraforming/5/

good article on spacemanagement for small area farms.

Also don't most big stores like this have 3-4 birds living in the rafters? we could feed them and have meat source.

>>3273545
Slight over-reaction?

and there goes autosage. It was a good thread. See you all elsewhere.

>>3273549
:o
thanks for this, I thought the amount needed was much higher.

>>3272899
*ahem* And sisterhood. Don't forget the 2 (+?) femanons here.

>>3274149

>>Don't forget the 2 (+?) femanons here.

Probably better to try and pass for male in a situation like this, if you get me.

>>3274168

>>Implying reverse traps aren't even more delicious
>>Implying we wouldn't make a brutal game out of discovering who is male and female

>>3274168
Yeah, rape doesn't sound so fun. I'll probably just cut my hair short with gardening shears, stop wearing makeup, and start wearing baggy clothes to hide my curves. Oh, and I'll probably have to hide my boobs somehow… And of course, it'll be hard to hide all of the blood for about 1 week every month…
Either all of that, or I could just kill myself. Not entirely sure which one to choose.

>>3274190
>a brutal game out of discovering who is male and female
Ohshit

ITT: Girls would rather kill themselves than have sex with the denizens of this board.

>>3274388
True dat. In >>3270340 >>3270385 the alleged femanons actually admit that they would go insane if it were actually to happen.

>yfw all women are beaches and shores.

>>3274241
The fuck is wrong with you?
Having to have sex with 10 guys for a survival scenario is really that bad for you?
Shit, is sex really that scary of a thing for women?

The fact that you would consider suicide over just sucking it up and fucking some guys for the sake of the group is ridiculous.
