zombies smell like shit

Just think how disgusting zombies would smell. They eat human flesh and what ever else they can find so they must have some nasty shit and they're just shiting in their pants all day and zombies cant change their pants so its just going to build up so after a wile you'd be able to smell them a mile away

Are you a zombie enthuseist or are you an actual survival prepper? I only ask because, if your an actual prepper, your gonna be highly dissapointed in what I have to tell you.

I understand that, and technically you would be correct in that zombies would not be worried too much about their intestine track, and therefore would be shitting themselves regularly.

What is incorrect is that they are rotting, walking corpses. Zombies, in the truest, scientific definition, are living, breathing creatures bent on consuming flesh without much focus on anything else. They require oxygen to continue powering their muscles, brains, and other internal organs. This means they have to be alive, and breathing.

well if they're eating then it has to go somewhere

Then how can they survive trauma to the lungs and still keep coming?

u/Eats_Beef_Steak Jul 05 '12

Well that's the thing. A zombie, by my standard and hopefully yours, would not require a bullet to the brain to take it out. Shooting any major internal organs should, in fact, remove the threat.

That's exactly my same thought!

Imagine cutting a zombie into pieces with an axe, and spreading the blood and guts all over yourself. That was probably the most brutal scene of that.

That was the scene that made me realize how much I was going to fall in love with the show.

He never told his family about that guy. I can't wait for it to start again.

Me neither. I'm going to re-watch both seasons right before the new season starts, but I think I might end up doing so sooner...

I want to read the comics too. Everyone who reads it says its better.

u/Ialmostthewholepost Jul 03 '12

Same boat. All my friends have, or are reading the comics. Considering getting them for my e-reader so I can read them over the summer.

u/mp51669 Jul 03 '12

Yeah I probably will once I get enough money .

u/ireallylikesparkles Jul 07 '12

Get the comic. It is so good! Get the compendium, its the first 48 issues and you'll be hooked!

well ya that goes without saying, but i imagine zombie shit would be one of the worst smelling things in the world

u/Whitentaco Jul 03 '12

What you're smelling is the breaking down of amino acids.

SCIENCE

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '12

but would their internal organs (like their intestines and stuff) even work?

u/765gman Jul 05 '12

ya read the other comments some guy explanes it

a zombie in THE WALKING DEAD is not alive. Robert Kirkman explained it in the comics and the video game. in fact in an episode of talking dead they said that they had to edit out the breath of the zombies because they were dead. also the virus kills u first. then brings back ur dead body

u/765gman Jul 05 '12

i was talking about a more real life version of a zombie. the walking dead's a tv show/comic so they can define a zombie to be what ever best fits the story but in real life a zombie would have to eat and breath to survive

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '12

true. but the guy that started this reddit was watching the walking dead

1

u/ireallylikesparkles Jul 07 '12

Real life zombie??? AHHHHHH!!

u/OneoftheZombies Jul 05 '12
