A question for you all

In light of everything that has recently happened, I pose a question for all you out there:



Let's say you were the sole survivor of a catastrophe, and you were all alone in your land. You wander around for many days looking for life and/or food, then finally, you come opon a crate of pickles. Knowing the pickles will keep for a long time, what do you do? Do you go out and look for other food/people, or do you stay with the pickles until you have eaten them all?

Hmmm, i'd say go out and find someone, and take a few pickles, since ye wouldn't want te take the whole crate. That's me.

I'd grab a few pickles then look for people. If you don't something like trhat, you're back to where you started.

Ah...but would you risk leaving the pickles for someone else to find and eat??

I would take the crate; find someonie then throw the crate at them for the helluva it. That would be fun.

Take the crate, find a cow, kill it, find some stale bread and make myself a hamburger.

The only solution:

Turn the Pickles into glasses of Ghilmnbv+asdf. Then, you'd be all insane, if there were a lot of pickles, but you might gain insight into another dimension that holds the key to survival.


Or you could eat the pickles.

Since you wandered for many days, you obviously can find water. So, I guess take some pickles (try to find some sort of bag, I guess), and wander. If you have no bag, take short trips for a day or so away from the pickles, in order to be able to come back and restock.
You might want to leave a note by the pickles so people know that you're alive also.
However, if they know that you're alive too, they might move the pickles away, in order so that they have a bigger supply of food.
It's a real dilemma. But you'll have time to think about it over the next few days, while sitting on the crate or walking around.
