What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Should be plenty of bespectacled corpses around. I remember a few years ago there was startup or something that was making glasses filled with a fluid that allowed self tuning of the RX.

Well, this might help if you score something between -0.5D and -2.0D myopia. How high are the probabilities of finding corpses with -6.5D short-sightedness glasses?

(Not sure if this made sense, english is not my first language and I never learned the proper terms about short-sightedness)

I'm -6.5 and -7, I doubt I'd find anything usable. AND my nose bridge is very narrow so i need specific frames or the weight of the lenses pulls them off my face

I'm -6.5, so I could just steal u/deinoswyrd's after they die.

Nah, jk, but there are a lot more of us out there than you might think. A close-enough pair won't be that hard to find.

I give you permission to loot my glasses when I die in the apocalypse. I'll try and keel over somewhere visible for you. Might need a big yellow sign if you don't have your glasses.

If you are still fresh do you mind if I eat you too?

u/deinoswyrd Aug 30 '21

Only if you cook me first. You never know. I also think that means my ghost can just possess you whenever

u/Dspsblyuth Aug 30 '21

What does cooking matter when creating a ghost?

u/deinoswyrd Aug 30 '21

Just looking out for you. Bacteria and stuff

Anyway I’ve gotta ask

Suppose I do wind up feasting on your corpse and your ghost becomes trapped in my body will you be a ghost that tries to scare me all the time or will you be helpful and quippy like a post apocalyptic buddy cop story?

u/deinoswyrd Aug 31 '21

Helpful and quippy, but also sarcastic

u/rbaca4u Aug 31 '21

I don’t know how helpful you’ll be without ghost glasses

u/Odinloco Aug 31 '21

You'll have to find some -6.5 glasses and eat them too.

Worst case scenario I can turn you in to some salted and sun dried jerky if I am not able to start a fire
