For the one hour before you die, everyone on earth can witness your actions. What do you do?

[ROBOTwithHUMANhair]

A professor recently posed a question similar to this to our class recently. I have slightly altered it. You are given one hour to live, but in the hour you have the ability to communicate and impact every single person on earth. Everyone will understand you no matter what language they speak or disability they may have. You are the only person who will ever receive this opportunity.

So what do you do?

 

[ROBOTwithHUMANhair]

As a regular on several random video-chat sites, I'd have to say, masturbate furiously.

hahaha i was wondering when that answer would pop up, and behold the power of the forums! the first reply... magical.

 

[A3sir]

Convince them that I am their God and tell them how to actually live their lives.

 

[Lunar Templar]

the last hour before i keel over?

try and offer up what ever little wisdom i actually have, and i'm know for some pretty good stuff, at random intervals

 

[Blobpie]

Sue EVERYONE for invasion of privacy!

Then give all me money to my cat.... HUZAA!

Amazing. Im clearly not the only one that saw that coming!

OT:
I would probably demonstrate how to illegally download copyrighted content (games, movies, music) because I believe in sharing. Once the world knows, theres no stopping it!

Yea. "The pirates lifes is the lifes for meh. Lololo, and a bottil of win!" -Chief

Just think about it, the industry trying to stop us sharing is in the position where everyone knows how to share. Im basically giving copyright laws the middlefinger on my deathbed.

Thats probably what i'll do when i die.

 

[AJvsRonin]

My actions would probably be a testament to atheism and to disprove the idea that all atheists are "death bed converters".

And then go through the process of working with scientists to help them understand whatever it was that killed me, donating my body in the process.

All the while discussing cool science stuff. Like that we're all made of the remnants of exploded stars, and even really simple concepts many people don't understand, like the existence of atoms (not kidding! many people have no idea about that!) and that our ultimate focus should be to enjoy ourselves and learn as much as we can about the Universe in our short time here.

I know it won't end religion and wars and shit, there'll probably be a massive propaganda campaign directly after to try and nullify anything I say. Claiming I was evil or mentally disturbed, but if it gets people to think even a little about science...


Totally worth it.

i kinda like that though, it would force them to only produce the highest quality pieces of work. the artists would finally care about their work again and put their total effort into it.

 

[loc978]

I would reject the opportunity, if able. It's my last hour alive, so I no longer have a vested interest in the well-being of my species. If everyone hears/sees/whatevers me for the last hour despite my protests, I'd ignore them.

...joke answer: rape a grizzly.

 

[The Pinray]

I would just sit there silently holding up both of my middle fingers.

Because screw the world. I want to spend my last hour with my family.

 

[TheAmazingHobo]

I would give a short introduction to the fundamentals of logical reasoning and inference, as it is the most valuable wisdom I feel possible to impart unto the world.

Either that or nyancat.

 

[R3VOLU7ION]

If it were telepathic communication, I'd start out small, like a really quiet, creepy whisper to everyone, not loud enough to understand, and a couple minutes later I would make it slightly louder, and repeat this for about 15 minutes. Then, also in a quiet creepy whisper I would start counting down the 45 remaining minutes, slowly getting louder. At 45/60 minutes I would whisper that I was 'going to get them' in 15 minutes or some shit like that, and from then on it would be a normally loud creepy voice counting down which would turn into a shout at about the 2 minute to go mark. Instead of saying 0 I would shout 'now'. That would be it.

If it were non-telepathic communication I would just tell everyone to dance, and I would join in. With the dancing.

 

[similar.squirrel]

If I had an hour left to live, I would say goodbye to my family then take a bucketful of hallucinogenic drugs. So the world would probably just have a really bad trip.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Honestly I don't know since I feel no matter what I will say, it would leave no real impact to the people as they ignore/ forget what I say.

 

[nbamaniac]

I would pull out my digestive tract, then eat it again. Then I'll gouge out my eyeballs, strap it with TNT and throw it to the nearest hippy i smell. Then maybe I'll try swimming in my own pool of blood and drown in it; but before that, I would masturbate vigorously while drinking 100 pills of viagra.

Then again, maybe not.
