How do you picture the world ending?

[Silver Patriot]

I imagine it going something like this:

"Hey Bob look at this"

"What's going on. . . OH SHI"

*boom*

You can fill in the blanks on what they were doing.

 

[DaceKhan]

Very simply the sun going supernova, I'd hope thats how Earth ends

 

[King Toasty]

Quietly.

Robert Frost has a good interpretation.

"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."

Fire or Ice? Who knows, but probably one or the other, never both.

[Ham_authority95]

There are alot of apocalyptic scenarios out there so i was wondering each of you picture the world ending

By someone choosing to end the story. "Fin"

 

[marioandsonic]

Fire.

And lots of it.

 

[KefkaCultist]

With my hands around the last human's neck...

Eternal Darkness.

 

[Kingpopadopalus]

Zompocolypse, Lets go out in style, slaying as many zombies as we can. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm some what sadistic.

 

[Roxor]

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

I really hope you're being sarcastic when you say that.

Given how much this is being advertised in the US, I think that if the religious people pushing this are proven wrong, they should be fined for false advertising. I'd say ten times what they paid for the ads in the first place should suffice.

 

[Valiant The Gamer]

End of the world?
Guys, not the end of humanity.

Being eaten by the sun when it expands.

A car traveling at the speed of light turns it's headlights on.

I'll go with what T.S. Eliot said. I didn't want to post the full poem so I put it in a spoiler.

Spoiler: This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.

Mistah Kurtz-he dead.

A penny for the Old Guy

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats? feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death?s other Kingdom
Remember us?if at all?not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death?s dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind?s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.

Let me be no nearer
In death?s dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat?s coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer?

Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom

III

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man?s hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

Is it like this
In death?s other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.

IV

The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death?s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o?clock in the morning.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

The Reapers will come in early 2012...

 

[Peteron]

Communists develop mind control devices and attach it to thousands of creepers and send them all over the world to destroy mankind.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I'd imagine nukes. Lots of them. That or the sun goes super nova. I dunno it's not an exact science

 

[captainwolfos]

With a whimper.

Seriously; I reckon mankind will ultimately be its undoing, to both the human race dying out and the earth itself dying. Not to point out the obvious, or anything...
