I got up the other morning, and found my dad in the kitchen, he told me to go out to the car and bring in the food. When I got there, there was about 50 regular sized cans of corn, and 5 big cans of corn. I brought it all in, and started putting it away, but the cupboard was filled with cans of applesauce, tomato soup and other various canned goods. And there were a lot of each.
I little puzzled, I asked him why the hell he bought so much canned food, and he just looks at me and in the most serious voice I have ever heard from him, he says "The apocalypse is coming" I asked him what the hell is he talking about, and then he just starts to talk about zombies.
I think my dad has gone a bit insane, should I be worried, or just let him being crazy?
On the plus side, I can now wait out the zombie apocalypse when it happens.
Ask him if he got the guns and ammo ready.

you should be more worried about the fact that you will be eating corn, apple sauce, and tomato soup for a few years

Im surprised he hasn't brought home wood to board up the windows and doors yet.
And we already have solar panels, so we will have power.
For his sake, I'm hoping the apocalypse actually happens, that way this wasn't a waste.
What is this apocalypse you speak of? All I ever seem to hear is that next year will be 2012.
when did all this start?
surely he didn't just wake up one day convinced he must stock up for the apocalypse?
is he into the supernatural? UFO's? Ghost? 2012?
is he convinced some specific series of events something is going to happen?
or is he just too weak to bear the fear of uncertainty?

You should probably put him in a lunatic asylum, he's clearly delusional. I mean, is there any evidence to support his theory? Or did he just randomly start thinking the zombocalypse is coming.

It's a good idea to keep 4-6 months of food stocked up, but most people can't afford to do so, or have the space, etc. The stuff won't last forever in most cases, so you need to restock from time to time. The scary thing is if there was some kind of natural disaster, or solar flare, etc, that knocked out the wrong stuff (communications, electricity, computers) it could disrupt our supply chains which have become heavily dependent on modern technology. Without the computer tracking, invoicing, etc, it would be hard to get food from point to point fast enough and efficiently enough to keep all of our grocery stores stocked. What would you do if all of the grocery stores in your area had nothing left? Think about it.
Better safe than sorry
If you have all that food ready then the zombies will eat that before they eat you and you can get away.

Pretty much he did. There was no signs before this.

No. He watches a lot of zombie and sci fi movies. But he doesn't seem to heavily into the culture.

Probably the latter.

Quick question... did he check the dates on those canned goods?
Knowing my dad, probably not, but I just checked, and the corn says 2013, and the apple sauce says 2014. So it better happen soon.
I think it's time to take your dad into the backyard and fire the gun. That ol' guy has gone loopy.
Remember, Kiddo: For a Zombie Apocalypse, your best choice are SMGs. Shotguns might seem like the obvious solutions, but there is simply no overcoming the ammo problem - as we all know, Zeke likes to attack in large mobs. Rifles are simply overpowered and too unwieldy - Walkers wear no body armor and are, in fact, the very definition of soft targets. Handguns are the only viable alternative if you can't come by some decent MP5 or whatever, but for fuck's sake, don't choose some childish crap like a Dessert Eagle. Any Wonder Nine will do the trick, plus the ammo is much more common.
There is no place in this enterprise for a rogue physicist!

It's alright to have something in case something does happen, however there is a clear distinction between paranoia and preparation.
uncertainty can be a scary thing.
knowing you can't say either way, when one way would mean the complete destruction of everything you value.
just be sure that he knows that it's true that people can't see the future, however people have been "waiting" for thousands of years. he also can't say for certain that he and his family will die if he doesn't prepare.
also that he takes probability, and logic into account.

Just kidding, I'm not like that. However, I do fully appreciate your advice on the topic of canned foods.
Don't bitch about me greentexting.

Like Wade said, even though he's stocking up for an apocalypse, stocking up on emergency supplies is hardly a negative. If you're concerned about your father's mental integrity, i'd suggest talking about it with your mother.

I'd grab my bow and rifle, and begin hunting for my needs. Wilderness skills are handy in case our technology fails. On the bright side, it would weed out all the dumb-fucks due to natural selection.
If I had a ton of extra money to spare I'd stockpile a decent amount of supplies.
