Science fiction is almost the "dream state" of science fact.

Reply to comment by darkbee83 in TIL that when Weird Al wrote I Want A New Duck in 1985, he went to the library and researched ducks for a week by ElderCunningham
I briefly met him once, in passing, in LA. He was truly a nice guy who seemed to genuinely appreciate us as fans even though we approached him in public.

That was just gas. Easy mistake to make, they smell about the same.

The smoke soothes the black lung cough. If that doesn't work just take a swig off this bottle of heroin dissolved in alcohol. It's less addictive than morphine you know!

The fact that we all know smoking is terrible aside, that is a very well put together costume. Someone put a lot of time into making that. Neat look at how much times have changed.

Reply to eli5: how long would power stay on if the power company abandoned their post? by larsattacks94
You are going to start seeing power failure pretty quickly. Coal power is very hands on, and they just won't keep chugging along for very long without humans keeping them running. Maybe 48 hours assuming power demand falls too.
The transmission lines are the real issue. They are constantly failing and being repaired. Without people fixing the lines, power can't get where you need it anyways.
In a post apocalypse type scenario, most of North America is going to be on fire pretty damn quick, and that is going to take out long distance power transfer. Our entire modern society is built around having rapid response to any fires. Our cities will burn down within days or weeks without firefighters.
