Thread: If the world were to end tomorrow.

Probably nothing out of the ordinary...Might try a bit harder to get laid tho...Nothing you can do about it so who cares?

Are you trying to tell us that the world will end in about .. hold on, sounds like somebody dropped an atomic bomb outside .. now, like I was saying ..

Why do you post an inside joke and then point it out, on a forum with hundreds of people, most of which have no idea who the hell you are, much less what the joke is? Keep that "inside joke" stuff in middle school, as opposed to a philosophical discussion.

Either way, I'd need a day to think about what to do.

There, now no one knows it's an inside joke. Anyway, that's funny (or were you serious??).

Why would you tell anyone? Would it not be better to be unaware of the end of our Earth? I could also not know that my information was correct. I could end up telling a hundred or more people only to find that my prophecy did not come true, and that, my friend, would make me look like a douchebag.

No. You absolutely know the world will end, it will happen, it's not a "I strongly think it will" you KNOW. Anyway, I've been thinking and I'd fly to Tennessee to tell her I love her.

I think that if I was powerful enough to know for 100% certain that the world would definitely end tomorrow, perhaps I might also be powerful enough to at least try to find a way to stop that from happening. At least that's the way it usually plays out in those sci-fi movies. So, I'd spend the day before the world ends trying to find a way to stop the world from ending. With a little luck, some good background music and a trusty sidekick, it might just all work out. After all, Will Smith and his gang seem to be quite successful at saving the planet every year or so. Picard, Bond and Clark Kent have done it a few times themselves. Gets to be a piece of cake after the first couple of rescues.

Ok, how about this, you can't stop it.

Discuss. NVM, that's not my thing.

Now it just doesn't make sense, and I was half serious.

Ah, that's easy then. I'd make a public announcement that I was going to personally end the world. That way, everyone would think that I was responsible for it when the time came.

Cool, eh?

pojmaster, that is so funny! luv it

A hypothetical hypothetical!

How can anybody know about something that hasn't happened yet!?

Great idea. You should also announce that the world is ending because the world didn't worship the true gods, The Backstreet Boys, enough. Then when people see the ending of the world happening, they will all intensely pray to The Backstreet Boys. You will have made it where the world ended with your practical joke on the world.

Actually, that's an awesome idea. Even better if you know how the world will end, and that it won't be instantly. If you got the message out fast enough, you could convert at least 50% of people to any religion you choose.

So the world will end tomorrow and I can't stop it. This is a thought provoking question if we take is seriously. Why not make it even more interesting by saying that "I would go visit loved ones" is not a valid answer.
That would probably be the stock answer that most would give so if you remove that as a possiblity, folks will seriously have to think.

What then would you do if the world would end tomorrow and it could not be stopped. I'll have to ponder that then get back with my answer. One thing for sure is, I'd go see Star Trek. I haven't seen it yet. And yes, that's a legitimate answer.

I dated someone who worked in an abbattoirs once, he said that(a bit sad this) as the pigs come up to the electric prod killer thing they sense what is happening and they start to fornicate madly.

Perhaps its an instinct to impregnate, for survival of the species in case someone does survive the impending extermination.

Maybe people would do the same.

Ahh the Cassandra sydrome.

It can make great plots in movie, like 12 Monkeys


What else can you do besides going crazy?

I would imagine that the method of dooms day might also play a role in our decision. For example, I might react one way if I knew that existence would suddenly just end. However, if I knew that tomorrow I was going to get scorched to a crisp in a full scale nuclear war .. well, that's kind of painful and I don't know if I'd want to go into tomorrow.

I really don't see too many ways that the planet can suddenly cease existing in a single day unless it gets disintegrated by a celestial body many times it's size. Or swallowed up in the remains of a super nova. That last one's a real possibility because we'd never know it was coming until it hit. Choosing a pleasant way to die is not easy but it sure beats not having any choice at all.

I'd kill everyone I hated, then go sky diving.

I would run out to the streets, and shout "THE WORLD IS GOING TO END TOMORROW, WOHOOOOOO". Then I would run, and tell the media, then I would do all kinda crazy things I always wanted to try, then I would finally try to go WILD that night, not caring about the scariness of SP, because the world is going to an end anyway.

But they'd all die anyway. Just tell them all, "I'm going to end the world just to kill you."

SP is only scary if you expect it to be. Plus, for a first time trying WILD, chances are you won't succeed without WBTB. Too bad there'd be no tomorrow. Also, it's kinda hard to focus when you know the world is about to asplode. Not only that, if it's your first time, your lucid might be pretty lame.

Just saying.

Better if you started doing WILD now so if the world ever were to end, you'd be able to lie down and have an awesome time until it's all over.

I'd know that it's useless to tell others, even if they believed there'd still be no way to save ourselves. So I wouldn't tell anybody. Instead I'd talk to all people I liked throughout my life, savoring our relationships for the last time. And I'd go for a walk looking at trees and sky, all that will never be seen again. That provided that I'd have enough guts to do something sensible instead of running around in wild fear, of course

Nothing else seems to be of much use. I mean, if the world really were going to end tomorrow, all the pursuits that we had in our lives would instantly cease to mean a thing. Even when I'm scared or in pain usual things mean nothing, if the end of the world was looming it would be the same or worse.

Depending on what kind of the end it would be, I'd probably choose to die today instead of tomorrow. But maybe not, everybody else is dying tomorrow after all and when everybody suffers with you it doesn't seem as bad. Hard to decide.

Rape,Steal,Kill is what i would do (not in that order).

If the world's ending, i might aswell forget about worrying about the consequences of my actions.

I'd go steal anyplace that sales food!
