So basically what I gathered is that “zombies” in the way they are portrayed in media mediums like movies and video games aren’t particularly physically plausible. But human beings being in a “zombie-like” state where our Brain functions aren’t like normal human beings technically is possible..that makes sense.

I always wondered if weaponized/modified rabies could be created, and I have no doubt someone somewhere has probably already tried to produce it.

I've said it before. I'm more concerned about a preon disease causing a zombie outbreak than a virus zombie outbreak. So I'm glad y'all mentioned preon diseases so that people will realize they're more concerning

a great thing about zombie genre is it makes you think more about surviving a serious event, zombies can be replaced by panicking humans

Anyone else watching this after scientists found 48500yrs old zombie virus in Siberia

Really, the closest thing to human zombification are rabies, though kuruu also has some parallels with Mad Cow's Disease.

Of course zombies walk among us.... They are on their smart phones, tapping away...

The cordyceps fungus is the basis of The Last of Us, definitely the best and most realistic zombie concept of all fiction! The most unrealistic part is how fast it spreads, a fungus would spread much slower

I once asked my Biology Professor if this was possible. She pointed towards the existence of Rabies and the Ant Fungus as proof that it could. Well done video.

The most traumatising part of the outbreak was seeing the people you love .
Die and transform.
Most of it just destroy you mentally.
Beceause you have no idea on how it spread or where it came from, if it is water, possible food contamination…
Also have to be careful on weapons, amo and possibly food.
Even be careful on any potential infected survivors.
And then proceed to survive the nuclear strikes or intensive bombing from the army .

I’ve never felt bad for an ant before.

NGL, I'd say Days Gone's zombie apocalypse is more accurate. Considering the "zombies" are called freaks in Days Gone, and they aren't "undead". It's basically super rabies.

“They may look human, but only have the ability to consume”…

So, humans then…

As a project Zomboid with hours of experience

I’m Rick grimes hopefully this happens

[UknowitsGW]

I would love to see a video on what would happen if no one spent any money for a whole day

0:03 Sounds like the average american these days.

When the zombie apocalypse happens and I hope it doesn’t and if it does, I hope I’m dead

You had slight inaccuracies on the Cordyceps description… they don’t usually collect on the forest floor but rather in particularly high places of trees to force the ant to bite down on the underside of a branch with good moisture conditions for its growth and then it releases spores onto the forest floor
