Worst apocalypse scenario?

[Sinisterair]

The Jonas Brothers gain artistic credibility and integrity, are respected by their peers and are inducted into the now Disney-owned R&R Hall of Fame.
That would be worse than all the zombies, mutants, nukes and melted ice caps in the universe.

id prolly kill myself first sign of that happening lol

All technology more advanced than say, a plow, ceases to function, just like in that crappy-ass remake of a cheesy fifties flick, the name of which escapes me.

Imagine first worldwide chaos as all communication is shut down, and easily 3/4 of the world's human population first deforesting and ravaging the countryside and then dying of famine and resurgent illnesses. The resultant environmental destruction claims another large portion with the only survivors living in fiercely territorial clans battling over scant unpolluted water resources and meager farms.

The worst is everyone dies except you, leaving you to live your life alone.

Also, there are no more volley balls.

The worst apocalypse scenario would probaly be the Jehova's Witness one, because that would mean they were right all along.
And also because everyone but the Jehova's witnesses dies, but who would want to be stuck in heaven with them eternally anyway?

Well at least that ties in with Christianity and Islam, so allot of people could just say, "Yeah I've read about that, I'll take the heaven option thanks"

I think the worst kind of apocalypse would be the one where the earth slowly falls into the sun thanks to a decaying orbit. Civilisation would just slowly crumble, and the desperate attempts for people to leave earth would just be a desperate failure with our current technology.

Everyone becomes the opposite gender as you. Than everyone kills each other trying to secure you as the last viable mate. In the end it's only you with the scattered corpses of the opposite sex everywhere.

hmm. Well if your female, the world is doomed. If your male, then you are one very lucky male.

If your female then the potential off spring is very limited.
If your male then potential off spring is very high. Especially with artificial insemination.

You are also ignoring the fact that there is tons of semen locked away in sperm banks.

Nah, that one's too quick.

My favorite end of the world (non earth destruction) scenario involves an Ice-9 type transition (see Cat's Cradle By Kurt Vonnegut).

My favorite end of the world scenario that involves the destruction of the planet itself is General Existance Failure, where every particle that makes up the earth spontaneously ceases to exist (Which, incidentally can happen if certain parts of quantum mechanics are to be believed. Luckily, the odds of it happening on the scale of the eart are so remote that one could expect such an event to occur somewhere in the universe once every few hundred trillion years)

It didn't have to be a direct hit GRB

A near miss would destroy the ozone layer, which understandably is much more gruesome than the instant death scenario.

Wouldn't the General Existence Failure be instantaneous and therefore no one would feel or realize it?

Interesting concept nonetheless

You have to watch one crappy movie over and over again till you die. That goes for everyone on earth.

Glitter, the movie with Mariah Carey, that is the only movie left on earth and is on continuous replay...

 

[Sewer Rat]

The entire world becomes Twilight fans which leads to worldwide abstinence leading to the end of procreation and we all die out.

Don't worry, there's plenty of me for everyone!
I take that back. There are too many uglies.

On topic, all life forms but humans, have become very ill and cannot be used for food. After everyone's stored food is gone, everyone now knows they are going to starve, and they try to make the best of it. Which is when all the Xboxes in the world stop working...

 

[Kyletacullar]

ummmm slow incineration of the earth which is hilariously enough probably what is going to happen.

 

[ragamuffingirl]

if for some magic reason gravity decided not to be a law anymore and we all started drifting up into the cold black madness inducing house of horrors that is space. i would call that a terrifyingly bad apocalyptic scenario. especially if we didn't die, but instead were left to drift forever . think about it eventually we would all be nuttier than a house full of tri-balled mountain trolls.

That sounds horrible.


What about the extra ball makes them nutty. Oh, I just got it.

you mean like dark-matter?
dark-matter reactions...by far are the worst end of the world senario.
becuase dark-matter can cease to exist by simply looking at it.
it can also react with matter and when that happens dark-matter will fuck matter's shit up....



also dark-matter is transparent...not invisible but transparent.

Everyone has been infected with a deadly virus. The cure to this virus is inside of a safe. Unfortunately, nobody can find the key.

The key is implanted in one of the human beings left on the Earth. How they find it..well..

..have fun =3
