Would you want to be alive for the end of the world?

[EchetusXe]

Yes, so I can laugh and eat ice cream.

My guess is that humanity has killed itself before the world has died :3 But yeah, it'd be pretty fuckin' cool.

Actually no, seeing so many people die around you while you take your last breaths just isn't cool at all.

EDIT:

If by end of the world you mean something like Ragnarok then yes, Ive always wanted to be part of a giant medeval(sp?) batttle. If you mean the Christian Armegedon than maybe, there is a battle at the end of that too, but the 7 years leading up to it are supposed to be hell on earth. If you mean what Max said (since I know he thinks the sun will swallow the earth) than no that would be extremely painful. There are hundreds of other scenarios. I wont go into them all, but most of the time it would be no.

Well, won't it? I was under the impression that that was the fate of our beloved star.
Anyway, we'd be long dead before that. What with the "baking to death" thing.

Aren't there potentially hundreds of different scenarios under which the earth could be destroyed? Ranging from nuclear holocaust to the return of Jesus (dont flame for this, its just another scenario). I dont think we can be totally sure how it will end, but one thing is a given, your theory will happen one day.

Yes, the main thing I hate about mortality is all the things I will miss out on. I want to know what will eventually be the downfall of us.

 

[RavingPenguin]

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but neither of those actually destroy the entire planet. One turns it into a radioactive slagheap, the other depopulates it (I think, I don't know/care much about what's in The Bible,) but it's still there, in one form or another.
When the sun swallows it up...
Well.

It depends on what you mean by earth, If you mean humanity than we could be, potentially, screwed over any second. If you mean the ball of rock we stand on, than there are very few ways it could be completely obliterated. I have read the Bible and I can say that, supposedly, after the second coming, there is supposed to be a new kingdom that lasts a millenium. After that Satan is supposed to come back then be defeated for forever, then after that God destroys the planet and takes humanity to heaven. Thats what the Bible says anyway. So I guess that wouldnt be so bad to live though. The sun theory sounds painful though.

EDIT: enough of the religious speak from me, I wont do it anymore, for the sake of not derailing the thread.

hell yeah! i wanna laugh as people run screaming, or just watch with a mildly interested look on my face
i hope it's a series of explosions, it might be me being an ex-pyro, but i love explosions

 

[Sombra Negra]

Depends. If the end of the world was in 5 years, or I could actually push the big red button to blow the entire human race to pieces then fuck yeah. Otherwise, probably not.

...Death is an unappealing option.

No one wants to die.
