Poll: The End of Days - How do you spend it?

[DefunctTheory]

That said, even another Theia-level impact is hardly going to wipe out all life; at worst, you're looking at another P-T extinction type of event. Human caloric needs are relatively high, but the whole omnivore thing that saw us through Toba would probably see some of us through this- and a handful of humans is all we need to breed back to strength. Wiping out civilization is not wiping out humanity.

Any object travelling with enough force and enough mass to cause another Moon-sized mass ejection is going to kill us all. Full stop, that's it. There's literally no where on Earth anything larger then a handful of cells could survive, in orbit or under the planets surface, and even those cells are going to have a rough time of it. Such an impact would not only shatter the entirety of the Earth's crust, but cause a colossal disruption in the planet's core. We're all gonna die.

Probably fuck it up... and coincidentally end up dead before the last day of Earth itself...

Other than that, probably date my best friend... or just keep doing what I'm doing now...

 

[Thaluikhain]

I'd have to contact my insurance company, not sure if I'm covered for that.

 

[Frezzato]

Start saving for retirement. Just for the lulz.

In any "instant destruction of Earth" scenario, I'd believe I would probably say my goodbyes to everyone, grab my possessions, and head to a place that'll house my last few days.

I can imagine it. The world is erupting in chaos. People are pillaging, raping, killing, and doing all other kinds of dark things. All the while, I'll just try to find a nice coastal town, find an empty house near the beach... possibly one with internet, if it's still running, and just live until the end arrives.

Naturally, weapons included.
I wouldn't want anyone to ruin my relaxing end as I see the giant rock zipping towards the Earth... although that really depends if I can even see said "giant rock."

In that situation, I can imagine I'll give into some dark urges. Like wanting said settlement to became a complete ghost town. Even if there were groups of people high off their rockers, or making some kind of slapping, pounding meat mountain orgy... I'd like to get rid of them. I mean, fuck em', I'd like to be a little selfish.

...Also by "get rid of them" I mean that it can range from blood to run away with only their clothes. Hopefully the latter, if I'm in a good mood.

Although, if it was the whole "Heaven is going to destroy the Earth" scenario, I could imagine I would be a little more passive. I mean, I am religious (not the crazy kind, thankfully), I'd probably think that an invasion of Angels would be an amazing sight.

But yeah, getting back to the main topic.
Giant rock hitting the Earth, killing us all, I'd think that I would try to relax.

honestly there are things that must be done that should take about two weeks then idk steal a plane and go live in Kyoto at peace for the rest.

So, how do you spend your last days on Earth? Do you try and carry it out with some dignity, going with the best you can and living life in a respectable manner?

Pfft.

I'd spend the first month with my friends and family. I'd enjoy their company and try to keep the more foolish of them from doing anything violent. For the final month I'd join in whatever inevitable orgies were going on all over the world. No need to fret over STDs and pregnancies, after all! No drugs though.

NOTE: NO, THERE ISN'T ACTUALLY a GIANT ASTEROID ABOUT TO KILL THE EARTH IN TWO MONTHS. CALM DOWN.

Why'd you have to clarify, Fury? WHAT AREN'T YOU TELLING ME!?

 

[JamesStone]

If it happens after I'm done with my thesis, hope whatever project the biggest coalition of governments set to try and save humanity needs a biocybernetics expert and/or general physicist.

If it happens right now, I'll throw myself at any and all governmental efforts in any way I can. Handyman, janitor, unpaid intern, data analyst, whatever. I won't go quietly into the night.

 

[Cowabungaa]

If I could?

Fuck. Fuck a lot.

Then play videogames with said fucking partner and fuck some more.

I'm a simple man.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Well, normally we'd blame Kross, but...hang on, the timing of this is a bit suspicious, isn't it?

 

[Wintermute_v1legacy]

I'm a pretty boring person. I would probably just continue with my everyday routine. Travelling is out of the question, since everyone would be freaking out, I think.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

So Escapists, let's have a bit of a heavier topic.

Its the end of days. The verified, literal end of days. In no uncertain terms, with a statistically irrelevant chance of missing, a massive asteroid is heading towards the Earth and will collide with it. The asteroid is massive enough that it may very well hit with enough force to eject a second Moon from the impact (much in the same way some of the theories for how our current Moon formed say).

In less than 2 months, life on Earth will be over. Nothing of human civilization, or life as we know it will remain on Earth.

So, how do you spend your last days on Earth? Do you try and carry it out with some dignity, going with the best you can and living life in a respectable manner?

Or do you give in the Mad-Max style insanity likely to occur and just go animal wild with the rest of humanity?

NOTE: NO, THERE ISN'T ACTUALLY a GIANT ASTEROID ABOUT TO KILL THE EARTH IN TWO MONTHS. CALM DOWN.

Well, I'd pull a Paragon Fury, of course.

Spoiler: Fantasize, right? NSFW
