As the other replies stated, plus: asteroids, nukes, alien invasion (though that one may be unlikely.) I think A.I. intelligence may be one that people just don’t take as seriously as they should. As fast as it will eventually be able to learn, A.I. could drastically change our world overnight. It is just a matter of if that is for the better or worse.
@griz zombies aren’t that great of a threat. The movies make them serm scarry, but zonbies can’t swim, and aren’t good strategists. I think in real life they’d be an inconvenience, nothing more
@griz Lol, potentially. Super viruses in general could do some major damage in a short time. I’m not sure actual zombies would be the issue, but the organism that is killing people to make people zombies would be a real hassle to contain I feel. Well, when I think of zombies in real life, I think of those organisms that attach themselves to ants and basically make them a zombie.
@Jear77 I saw the first part (depressing as hell) of it played and some clips of the middle. Probably would have been more curious about it if I had a PlayStation. Wasn’t the zombie creatures some type of fungus or something? They looked fungus-y. It would be that type of stuff I’d be more concerned about. How it spreads. It is a creature that moves and multiplies quickly and is immune to nearly everything? Is it air based? Is it fungus spores? The actual zombies shouldn’t be too much of an issue, but the virus or how it is spread is problematic.
It’s happening right now. 1,000+ residents on the big island of Hawaii lives were changed in a flash when volcano Kilauea started blowing up. My sister lives 1/2 hour from this volcano, and we are hoping her life doesn’t change overnight.

Potentially. Drop enough nukes (which would be the start of WWIII) and life as we know it would (likely) cease to exist.
This only a simulation…

@yin
Zombie apocalypse!! Why does everyone forget the destructive potential of a zombie apocalypse! (A bit slower-acting, sure. But similar effect!)

@Jear77
In small numbers perhaps.
Just how many zombies are there in “an apocalypse” anyways??
@griz if even one survivor is a video game expert, we’ll be fine.
@Jear77
Oh. LOL!!!
Did I just hear you equate success at a video game with success in life?
@griz new Olympics will have video games as a sport.
@Jear77
Seriously?
The common factor in all Olympic events is athleticism.
@griz two worditch response (how fast one’s fingers can move), also anticipation. But it may be years.
@Jear77
The world will have to become increasingly silly for this to happen. Bring on the Olympic God Medal for rhythmic blinking!
Seriously Jear.
Change the topic.

@yin
I see a tie-in to the various mindsets and ideologies that infect people and turn them into intellectual and / or psychological zombies!
@yin Look at “The last of us” video game

@yin it’s based off of a real life fungus that controls and turns ants into “zonbies.”
A meteor or CME would do it.

We also saw the world change overnight on November 9, 2016.
I guess we can say, orange “things” can be very dangerous.
Sure. Look at how the events of 9/11 changed us all permanently. And that wasn’t even overnight. That was just a matter of a few minutes.
