How do you picture the world ending?

[Jake0fTrades]

Supernova, shame I won't be here to see it.

 

[Marik2]

I imagine it will end in exactly 12 days from now.

I can see it now. I laugh at this statement now, but in 12 days the world really will end, and at that point my last thoughts will probably be giving you mad props for the epic win of that post.

I don't understand, what are you referring to?

The, post I quoted? Little else really, so I am, pretty much just as confused at you as you are at me right now.

"According to the Bible" Rapture is supposed to take place on May 21st. God and stuff.

Do you have a source to that?

Cuz Im sure it says something along the lines that no one knows when the end days will happen and only God knows... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kv3mMK7EP8]

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Realistically-super-nova,or we get hit by a meteor (asteroid, whats the difference?)

Not realistically-We get attacked by aliens, and its total chaos and massive war. And everyone gets whipped out.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Cthulhu. That is all.

 

[Orpheus III]

Planetary scale, red giant.
Galactic, supermassive black hole.
Universal, Yog-Sogoth.
Multiverse? Power outage.

Corporations develop a method to harness a new form of radioactive energy amidst a global resource crisis, leading them to deploy it as an opportunistic weapon to destroy all nations in less than a month. The 6 largest corporations then agree upon a new world order known as the Pax Economica, which everyone ignores by continuing to fight with machines that utilize the new energy, slowly poisoning the land. Nothing will be able to seed a barren earth!

Harold Camping [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Camping] might. Probably not though, not a reliable one anyway.

Even if the Bible said it first, Weirdguy said it to me last, so, yea, he gets the props. Granted the world has ended at that point so it no longer matters, but hey, principle of the thing and all that.

Yep, Weirdguy deserve the props. God has unfair advantages in predicting stuff, no credit deserved.

Although I think the world 'properly' ends a few months afterwards, on October 21st. There may still be time to offer props before the devils drag us under. *sigh*.

EDIT: Snip.
Rapture fiddling with my posts.

Yahtzee giving a positive review to something that has been done before.

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

That depends on what you mean by "the world ending [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApocalypseHow]."

 

[Saerain]

Depends, are you talking about the end of all life?
The ending of all life on Earth?
The ending of all human life?

Could you be more specific?

This.

Life on Earth: Sun's life cycle. It'll make things too hot on Earth long before its red giant phase.

All Life: The Big Rip or the heat death of the universe.

Human Life: Something between the two above. We have plenty of time and many ways to outlive the habitability of Earth (all of which require getting footholds elsewhere, of course), but it's probably ludicrous to suggest that we'll survive to the end of the universe.

Nuclear war. Looking at what happened in the Fallout universe, then what's happening in real life, there are some rather scary similarities. I have a feeling it won't play out very differently at all. Oil shortages cause normally friendly nations to go at each other's throats, next thing any of us know there's a light show to end all light shows.

There are also some major differences

 

[Whodat]

Killer Beavers or Moose attack, whichever

When computers/robots can simulate sex. Having recently become single, then started hooking up with my ex, I discovered how much you change when you get sex. Everything I do is an effort to get laid: working for money, working out to look good, etc.

It's funny, as soon as I became single, I got bored of World of Warcraft, then when I got sex I started playing again. Ambition goes out the window, you basically just kill time between bonkings.

Pretty much what this PSA from Futurama says: http://www.bharatstudent.com/ctv/watchvideo.php?vid=iechmihihfdj
(I couldn't find a Youtube link, there's a 10 sec ad before hand but the video is worth watching)

No nation is going to start a nuclear war. It's suicide and no major power has delusions otherwise.

Groups that feel they have nothing to lose (i.e. certainty that they'll be rewarded in an afterlife or that The End is nigh anyway) are the only way that's happening.
