What If Bird Box Actually Happened?


what if bird box actually happened we
all have days where we just don’t want
to leave the house Netflix’s movie bird
box shows us that maybe we were right to
stay in our PJs I’m just stuck in this
house whole day you never leave why
should I leave I have you to get me
groceries before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our channel and ring the
bell to be notified about our latest
videos based on Josh mallards
post-apocalyptic novel of the same name
the film follows a group of survivors in
a world where mysterious creatures are
causing mass suicides see them and
you’re a goner
how would this play out in real life we
are going on the trip now it’s going to
be rough it’s gonna feel like it’s going
on for a long time so it’s gonna be hard
to stay alert it’s gonna be even harder
to be quiet but you have to do both you
have to do every single thing I say or
we will not make it in Malheur man’s
novel mass panic sets in fast a handful
of murder suicides in Russia Alaska and
Canada and people all the way down in
Michigan are hiding indoors of course in
the real world murders suicides and even
murder suicides happen all the time as
in the movie adaptation chaos would only
really break out once reports became
widespread and local at first the link
between suicides and sight might not be
obvious Malheur Minh has CNN report that
the victims all saw something but it’s
not clear what this is based on since
some cases don’t seem to involve
witnesses in the movie survivors see the
horrified stares of victims firsthand
and are provided with convenient
exposition about demonic entities and
our worst fears full of mentions of
demons or spirit creatures people who’s
actually seeing these creatures almost
always describe they encounter as as as
with the entity that takes on a form of
your worst fears or deepest sadness or
your greatest loss but in real life many
of the initial survivors might witness
only the bloody aftermath until of
course it was too late the spread of
information about the creatures and in
fact our overall chances of survival
would depend in large part on our
communication networks although you
might want to avoid that Instagram live
stream just in case in the source
material media communications continued
for months which would allow us to
coordinate survival strategies in the
screen version however the presence of
the creatures seems to diss
the communication networks and almost
everyone is dead in which case we’d see
electrical grids fail within days I
don’t think the phones are working right
now let’s assume the worst-case scenario
and that were totally isolated our first
task after blocking the windows would be
to blindfold up and gather supplies our
neighbors homes would be the closest
sources for food and medicine for the
same reason though we need to defend our
own homes necessitating barricades and
weapons this is my house given high
enough survival rates looting and
violence would increase as resources
became scarce with smashed windows and
grocery stores and pharmacies in
particular would become high priority
targets even if a centralized government
and military survived in some form and
martial law were declared most areas
would be reduced to anarchy and there’d
be more survivors than you’d think more
than 21 million people in the u.s.
report visual impairments and about a
million are legally blind a huge
advantage if the world went to a bird
box on us in fact blinding ourselves and
our children using household chemicals
or makeshift surgical techniques might
be our best bet for long-term survival
in a world of the blind canes might
become common as with string and fishing
line for the outdoors with a little
tinkering repurpose proximity sensors
could prove invaluable some of us might
even become proficient at human
echolocation which believe it or not is
a real thing for the still sighted
forays outside would have to remain
short to minimize the risk of blindfold
mishaps plus it would just be damn scary
out there
what with the vengeful supernatural
entities and all oh and the insane
people who’ve become the creatures
birds might become man’s new best friend
used as portable alarm systems a pop-up
tent would also come in handy although
not something we’d want to be spending
long distance travel would be virtually
impossible hey maybe we could just
squint a lot or peek between our fingers
would that work one of you is gonna have
to look it would be a hell of a risk and
again we’d be a lot better off just
staying home on the upside we’d finally
have a reason to stay in our PJs 24/7
all that time indoors however would put
us at increased risk of vitamin D
deficiency weakening our bones and
muscles and worsening our odds when it
came to cancer heart disease and even
depression throw in a limited diet and
most survivors would probably look a lot
more like Viggo Mortensen in the road
then trivanti roads in Byrd box if you
have biceps this massive five years into
the apocalypse then you’re doing pretty
well for yourself
of course since we’d be cooped up inside
most of the time exercise would be a
good way to stave off cabin fever if you
like a good book or board games well
guess what you’re in paradise sort of
how do you like the global population
would be decimated but there would still
be hope for the human race
eventually survivors would find each
other and form communities and new means
of communication we could rebuild
creating a new civilization designed
with sightlessness in mind and learning
to live with our demons collectively are
making the world do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
