Not him but there aren't enough survivors to feed the massive hordes that roam the countryside. After a few years they should have easily thinned out to virtually nothing. 28 Days Later understood this.
The hordes feed on animal meat too.
Not everyone died during the initial outbreak. There are plenty of survivor groups. People are dying and breeding all the time so new zombies which haven't decayed much are always there. Everyone is infected.
Nothing that anon said is wrong though, both facts that walkers eat animals and everyone is infected are shown in season 1.

How do the walkers catch the animals? How are they going to survive on approximately 100,000 survivors in the US when there are 300 million walkers to feed? Humans take years to develop and new children are a rarity in the series.

They aren't surviving, they are dead, caring about zombies food shortage for survival is an oxymoron and wouldn't be a realistic thing that makes zombie apocalypse survivable, unlike literal weather.

Alright if you go this route then their bodies naturally decay like the anon above stated. By season 6 they are getting quite weak and frail and can even be torn apart by survivor's bare hands. Next season they're at full strength again as though the outbreak just started.
Which is worse, because their bodies are still human bodies at the end of the day, they are vulnerable to the same shit and they cannot function without sustenance. Winter would kill all of them, if not Summer
Once you are dead you aren't human. It's true however, that one Winter would be enough to basically already make zombies an uncommon sight. But I don't know why you wouldn't buy that a zombie can't just go on without sustenance.

Aren't the events of TWD in the Midwest/South where it doesn't snow or get cold enough to freeze? Intentionally or not the show seems to have its bases covered in the realism department

irrc it starts in georgia. it gets cold, but not northern cold. I could imagine zombies "freezing" but since they're dead, that could just make them go dormant for a bit until they thaw which would slow their decay as well.

because that would mean they are literally INFINITE energy machines and that's the dumbest shit in the world
When you move, your body expends energy, and energy has to be sustained by something, I'm not even talking about deteriorating bodies that should just collapse because of said deterioriation, you can't move if there's no fuel
What if whatever it is that infected people feeds via photosynthesis? As long as virus is alive it'll use its own energy on the host, but it doesn't actually care what host does, and host's natural hunger compels the body to find any other source of substance?

I guess that could work, but at that point it would would have to be some weird plant parasite thing.
It would also require the host to have leaves or some shit for the chlorophyll.

They canonically shut down and go to sleep if they haven't found food in a while.

You can't hibernate in the first place without a ton of excess energy. Why do you think bears fatten up before winter?

synapses still require ENERGY to function. Zombies only make sense after the first year or two if magic is involved.

Actually it's one of the few things show is pretty consistent, the walkers do look noticeably more gross and rotten with each season and become less of a threat. Could be argued that in season 6 they managed to decimate the horde that got inside Alexandria simply because walkers have rotten too much to be a threat to dozen of able bodied people.
This. Any camp still around by the time the group builds the kingdom/hilltop/alexandria alliance knows to keep quiet and hidden, like Oceanside, who were doing well until rick and co fricked up their utopian femme collective.
The latest seasons make no fricking sense, however. Commonwealth has far too big of a footprint to have gone unnoticed for so long, especially since they're all in white armour.
>S1 zombies could run, climb, throw rocks and open doors.
anon all humans can do this...why would the military struggle with this?
have you seen what a swat team does to an overflowing crack house? that's a modern armed force "holding back"
If the show had any semblance of soul, by season 6 they would have started to clean whole cities using rigid lines with soldier holding rifles while blaring iron maiden. These zombies are moronicly easy to handle, so much literal who's manage to walk among them wearing nothing but dirty clothes and leather masks.
The end of the series basically implies zombies are nothing more than a nuisance now to the world and there are entire cities and governments waging war with each other in the background while our group scavenges around.
It would be interesting to see this explored more rather than just hinted at.

Same thing happened with Fallout. Fallout 1 already had a pretty nice little society with water backed bottle caps (it is explained that in Fallout 1 the bottle caps are the currency because water traders hold most of the trade in the region and they are backed by them because caps close the water bottles). Fallout 2 already went even further with real currencies and real cities. Then moron Todd made Fallout 3 where bottle caps are the currency because it's "iconic" and most towns are made of literal garbage with people seldom having anything more than rags.
Fallout New Vegas realizes the original vision they had for Fallout, but you were still stuck with stupid bottle caps probably as a mandate from Bethesda.
>you were still stuck with stupid bottle caps probably as a mandate from Bethesda.
bottle caps still being used in vegas strip was the most immersion breaking part of that game.
atleast in dead money dlc you were stealing gold bars.
They were bunkered down for S2 and 3. Actually they run in to 3 different groups in S2 and 3 as well. In S4B they travel some 600 miles.
wouldn't the zombies rot and fall apart after awhile? how is there always more? this show is stupid
They are rotting and falling apart, watch the show. There are more zombies because survivors keep dying.

It's not a very good show
>Midwest
>doesn't show
Missouri had one of the most harrowing snowstorms of the country
But it doesnt seem the hordes actually need to eat to stay reanimated.

>years pass
>suddenly walkers are more powerful again
Yes, but that rotten flesh would fall apart after a week
This is exactly the reason why I'll never care about zombie shit, the whole apocalypse would end in a year realistically
>how is there always more?
Everyone turns into a zombie when they die. They say this many, many times in the show you dumb fricking zoomer
Literally a Dark Forest situation.

You're asking that in a show where the US military was overrun by zombies which move at half a kilometer per hour?
S1 zombies could run, climb, throw rocks and open doors. They made them moronic after it.
