This is a thought experiment that was created when a friend of mine and I were talking. Assuming that all people suddenly disappeared today except you , your siblings, parents and children(step relatives included), how long would you and your family last?

I’d say about 3-5 years. My relatives and I have experience in emergency medicine , engineering, and farming. The only issues for us that I see are the expirations of medications, lack of gas at gas stations and the lack of electricity during the winter months.

Until we die. And that depends on several situations: when we manage to stay healthy, we can survive for several years or even decades, since we have the necessary skills to optain food and shelter.

Around a week. Both my parents work in government jobs, so they wouldn't have professional expertise. However, both me and my mom did Girl Scouts, and she was one of the leaders for my troop, so we probably would be okay for a while.
However, I need Adderall to function, both me and my dad need glasses to see, and both my parents have middle-age problems, hence the shortened survival time.
