Poll: Your life or the rest of the human race's lives?

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I think I would choose my life. It would be pretty empty without everyone else, but I don't want to die

 

[Drunkenclam]

If you picked to save yourself you'd just be alone in the world forever... That would be kinda cool but you'd probably go mentally insane from being all alone.

 

[thrillingsuspense]

I don't understand why so many people think that a lone human would die so quickly. And I don't think that I would go insane. The struggle to survive should be enough to keep a person focused.

 

[J4RD]

I'd push both buttons at once. Because people, myself included, suck.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I may be arrogant, but I don't think my life is more important the 6,000,000,000+ lives.

 

[Tipsythegza]

As long as my family still lives.

 

[The Hero Killer]

Nothing is more important than my life, for when that ends nothing else will matter anyways.

 

[Drakmorg]

I suppose I could let everyone else live. Life would be boring without people making the things I like to enjoy, like electricity and tasty food.
So I guess the human race is saved by my lack of culinary skills and personal generators.

Then again, with me being the only person left on Earth, there is still plenty of non-perishable food at supermarkets that no one will be alive to eat, and I suppose I can always look for a personal generator...

No, I think I'd feel pretty guilty for killing everyone in the world...so I would still kill myself

 

[Evidencebased]

I'd kill myself.

(And if I had to, I'd kill all you selfish whiners, too! ;p Billions of people trumps just myself, or myself plus a few teenage misanthropes. )

 

[Bobbity]

I'd sacrifice myself, easy. Not only would it be the right thing to do, but it'd also be depressing living in a world otherwise devoid of life.

 

[Rayne870]

If I gotta go then I'm gonna take everyone with me! So I'm sacrificing humanity just for the hell of it.

Alternatively, what happens if I push both buttons?

 

[aLivingPheonix]

I'd push both for shits and giggles. First the human race, then me.

EDIT: Wait, you said HUMAN race right? That means animals are still alive?

In that case, I push the rest of the human race button.

 

[LorisBoi]

I'd have to sacrifice myself.

But don't go flattering yourselves, I couldn't give two shits about you lot . I have a daughter, so there's no question.

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

What the fuck are we supposed to do after we kill the whole human race? If I could save a small handful of people then I might consider that option but as it is, I will just kill myself since my life would be completely worthless without anyone else around. Seriously, where's the incentive for this option?

The real incentive is that when you are dead, there is absolutely NOTHING that matters anymore. That means that the human race doesn't matter. So the real question is, is it better to be dead or to live even if the life is filled with whatever emotion comes to you after the human race dies. That's what I meant by not being objective when I stated my opinion in the OP.

But when you kill everyone else then nothing really matters anymore, at least if you kill yourself then you could die happily in the knowledge that you allow other people to continue living their lives... but you kill everyone else and then you might as well be dead. I mean, even if you could survive for a few decades, there would be nothing to do but wonder the wasteland. It would be like playing Fallout if they removed all of the NPC's and nearly all of the enemies. I suppose it's some consolation that the rest of the human race doesn't leave their corpses around to stink up the place.

Alternatively, what happens if I push both buttons?

If I had to guess then I'd say that everyone dies, including you. Doesn't sound like such a great plan.

 

[Simon Pettersson]

I would kill my self.
I would die of boredom, madness or something else if all other humans vanishes. Why live in an empty world?

Captcha: llownly DID´s
... What!?

 

[Megawat22]

I'd sacrifice myself.
But only because living on my own would be incredibly boring. And there'd be no new food and everything electrical would go out.
It'd be like a Zombie Apocalypse without the Zombies.

 

[Rblade]

if Virtual reality was a thing that existed, I would be interested to discover how long I would last.

if everyone just dropped dead but me.

no electricity or internet.

you would need to raid a supply of peneciline and bandages, all the canned food you could find. books on how to grow your own food in several seasons and then find a well isolated house (no gas or electricity for heaters). and it would need to be near running water that is clean enough to drink.

other then that being an interesting thing to think about. obiviously the me button, cause yeah, if I'd last it would be under extreme thedium and crushing guilt

 

[Shycte]

Well, I sure hope that I'd kill myself.

 

[Nikolaz72]

I actually can't believe almost 20% of the people who voted would kill everybody else on this planet for the sake of themselves. To me this seems disgusting....

No, your option to save them is disguising. How can you possibly justify the continuation of greed, hate, murder, exploitation, disease, overpopulation, starvation, corruption, and just overall suffering?

The only humane thing to do is to let them all die, and then live the rest of your life knowing that you solved all of those terrible problems.

Spoiler: Okay...

I really hope you're joking or trolling, when you consider all of the beauty and love in this world those problems pale, better to live a flawed existence than not at all.

Exactly!11!1 I completely agree with you. Which was why I chose to live on myself. xD
