In a couple of billion years, the sun will expand into the red giant phase. It will be so large, that the earth will be engulfed and incinerated. However, The earth will have been much too hot to support complex life as we know it for a long period before that.
Well since I don't give a crap what some south american natives thought was gonna happen I'm gonna go with what's actually gonna happen.
I'm also going to be a bit vague because I can't be bothered with looking up the details at this hour!
Essentially in a few million years our Sun will enter a new stage in it's progress and expand massively, to the point where we will be as close Mercury is now to the Sun, OR we'll actually be inside the Sun. If the former then everything will almost instantly boil. If the latter well the Earth is pretty fucked.
Then after a few more million years the sun will explode and wipe out most of the solar system, leaving either a relatively small neutron star or (iirc more likely) a fucking huge black hole.
So yeah. FUn stuff.

Well in about 5 billion years or so the sun will run out of fuel. Amongst the various unpleasant phenomena that happen to a dying star of this kind, it will expand to somewhere out around Jupiters orbit (from memory). That ought to do the trick quite nicely.
If, on the other hand, you mean how will human life on Earth be wiped out, it will always come down to human stupidity - whether that's fucking around with things we're better off leaving alone, someone pressing the red button, or simply investing all our money in killing each other then having nothing practical to use when a big old asteroid comes lumbering along, it will always come down to our collective stupidity.

So you're saying "No" to zombies??mitchell271 said:Love your avatar! "Never say no to panda" commercials are hilarious! I can't even get my gif to animate...KingsGambit said:
OT: I'd like it to be zombies but realistically, it's probably nuclear.
*cue music*
Just you knoooooow why...
I think it will be caused by zombie over run major cities, because of all the stupid people believing the world will end they become engulfed by their own stupidity, and with majority of the world being stupid. It'll turn into a pandemic of stupid, and they sorta act like zombies.
I will stand upon the rooftops, millions of rounds next to me. Shouting Pop culture reference and quotes as I mow down the hordes of stupid

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.

The world will die of boredom
Also that Mayan calendar thing has been dis-proven so many ways even in jokes it's super irritating to hear about.
Super solar flares? Well every 11 years the sun reaches a solar maximus and we're in that peak now, but we survived the previous 11 years, and the 11 before that and that so we're safe.
Planet X coming in and breaking EARFF? We'd see it coming.
So therefore, the end day will be so lacking in excitement and good game releases everyone will drop dead of boredom. Even the Mormons
Or by the bacon shortage, people killing eachother over the last bits of it.

OK, I think it's time for a new Law of the Internet.Rawne1980 said:
The Law of Bieberdynamics: As an internet discussion grows longer, the probability of the occurrence a joke involving Justin Bieber approaches 1. This is due to the Law of Conservation of Energy, as the poster is conserving their energy by not bothering to come up with an original joke.[footnote]PS: I hope you don't take any of that too seriously.[/footnote]
OT: Honestly, I think if the world was going to end it would be because of something massive and beyond our control, like a meteor. And even then, in order to completely end civilization, it would have to be a pretty nasty one.
The world ending or the planet being destroyed? If society changes (and we all know it needs to change as soon as possible) then the "civilised" world will in fact end and begin anew. But I don't think anything is going to destroy the planet or make it inhabitable for humans anytime soon.
Dimethyltryptamine or DMT is a psychedelic drug naturally produced by every living thing. It is so powerful that it must be taken in very small measures and often you still won't remember the trip at all. Those that do remember it talk about hearing strange music, alien voices, feeling like they have transcended space and time, strange creatures, feeling like you understand the universe.
When the world 'ends' the DMT we all store in our bodies will be released into our brains en mass causing everyone in the world to ascend to a higher function becoming one with the universe. We will trip for 7 days and 7 nights. And when we all come off it we will gather together in universal brotherhood, cast away our weapons of war, and live forever in harmony.
Also there will be an orgy and we will leave Earth in a spacecraft. Who want's to join my religion?

Personally... hoping for a stunner.
Flooding the earth with rotten Halibut, cmon, something no one saw coming is definitely in order.
Honestly, as far as I am concerned... I either want complete and utter surprise with no warning whatsoever, or just a mild cataclysm that presents at least a chance of survival.
If I am do die... Just make it quick... dont make me suffer the agony of waiting for it.
