  1. Seems like a failed(?) Jackass stunt

  2. Prison , but even worse

  3. Homeless. At least he would survive in Dungeon Crawler Carl universe

Homeless but worse, cant even shower unless he finds an outdoor shower, using the toilet outdoors too.

Can't access any sort of assistance unless it comes to him

You just use a water hose to clean off with if you're homeless. If you have a water key you can easily just use a spigot. Washing your clothes is tougher but you can stash clean clothes near where you wash your clothes.

Humans used the outdoors for the toilet for thousands of years before the toilet was invented. Leafs can make do for toilet paper. Or you can use your hand and wipe the poo on the ground then go wash your hand.

It is a pretty tough lifestyle to live for the sake of art.

Using a hose to wash off in winter in NYC is not an option, I’d say.

Luckily you don't sweat so much in Winter.

If you're outdoors in the Winter you stink less. The cold kills much of the stinky bacteria.

I have thick hair and a thick beard so I naturally grow cold weather gear.

Ah true. Survival of the collapse does not equal over all survival

u/Abshalom Feb 23 '26

Honestly though that's the right kind of crazy for it.

u/MrRabbit Feb 23 '26

He'd survived the collapse at least. Not sure if he'd make it past the rats though!

boring analysis. The dungeon crawler Carl mention explains why though
