The end of the world was upon us, you have zero chance of surviving, and everyone on earth has two days to live.

Maybe some serious answers? Im actually interested to hear some of the responses.

Eat as many jaffa cakes as possible before time runs out.

Do I still have my wife and kids? That right there could change the entire answer.

it all depends upon if just you know about it or the world in general.

If the later is the case then probably not too much as there would be mass panic,.Chances are stepping outside could be fatal in itself as things would more than likely disolve into chaos pretty quickly.
Everyone would be trying to complete their own selfish bucket list. Take driving to be with loved ones. Would anyone else on the road obey speed limits or lane discipline? What if you pissed off another driver, would they ram you off the road or chase after you to give you a beating or worse? A simple journey across town could be almost impossible.

However if only you had this knowledge then whilst you could certainly achieve more, if you were to tell anyone they would probably think you were mad. I personaly would prefer this situation. I could spend time with family and friends, probably carry out some random acts of kindness and then take out as much money as possible and head off for a final filthy few hours in the local brothel.

Yes, the people of the earth ARE warned of their impending doom.

That Jaffa cake needs to be a thread....cake or biscuit....whats the closest thing american to it? Thinking the Keebler Elves here

aannnyyywayyy

My wife said she opt herself out incase something like this happen. I perfer not to be alone so I would opt myself out to. Being almost opted out by an insurgent has gotten me quite a collection of meds to choose from

Not much, feth work off and spend two days doing the things I enjoy.

I was going to say "Go and kill several deserving people from the list I have been building in my head these last ten years" but considering the whole world is ending I guess its irrelevant.

Spend days eating junk food and hanging out with my friends and family.

Get a good hard sh*g. Im not dying a virgin. Also: massacre Justin Beiber. slowly. painfuly. with no cookys. I would also indulge myself in an orgy of feeding(im a blood vampire) And have a good time.

Oh great Matty has a hit list. Quick everyone be really nice to him and by him cookies!!!

That is a good question.

I would probably not face reality and try to live normally while the world around me fell apart because my denial would be so extreme.

In all honesty, I think that 99+% of people (myself included) would just view any doomsday prediction as crazy-talk and ignore it.

Even if the government or NASA or someone serious said it, I think most people would just go about their day.


After all, maybe that asteroid will actually miss us, or the deadly disease won't be as deadly as previously thought, and then everyone that went crazy and sold all their stuff or cheated on their spouse will be in serious trouble.

Unless its the Zombie Games of course, in which case its happy happy fun time. Where's my lobo ma?

Just organise a big meet up of family and friends so we could be together and watch the world end.

In a way it would be quite nice, knowing that everything is going to end and you can't do anything to stop it. It removes any pressures on you, any expectations. There's no point in worrying about something you can't change, so you might as well just try to enjoy the short time you have left.

Have sex for the next 2 days and eat fastfood and stuff.

Run up all my credit cards buying all the warhammer stuff I've always wanted but never been able to afford.

Then put it all together while watching netflex.

Maybe take a gak on my neighbors lawn cause feth that dude.

Throw the largest block party ever seen by mankind, that is if i am 100% certain the world is ending.
Otherwise, i would likely see friends and family and just enjoy it, hope the world doesn't end, and everyone who went overboard will be up a creek, while i will be a-okay!

Climb up a mountain and find a beautiful place with a good view. If the world is going to end, I'm going to face it with the best seats in the house.

Assuming i can, Go to the place that has the worst food posible for you to eat(like a 20,000 calorie salad)
Or go to a certain type of "House"

-Have a giant party
-Buy tons of Warhammer stuff
-Have tons of sex

Assuming I still have my wife and children, I'd spend the time with them doing something fun, and making sure that my kids didn't know it was all going to end. I'd want them to die happy if they have to die at all.

If I didn't have them, I'd do LSD and probably ecstasy since I've never tried any drugs and those two are the only ones that sound like any kind of fun that doesn't involve major addiction. If there was enough time I'd try some other drugs just to see what all the fuss was about since I wouldn't have to worry about being addicted since we'd all be dead.

I'd want to do other things that I've never done, but still maintain my morals. There are people that I'd want to kill for the satisfaction of it, but in this case it seems pointless.

2 days is a short deadline. Most of the stuff on my bucket list requires planning and money, which can't generally be had in 48 hours.

If the world was ending, woukld money even matter anymore?

Would mass-transit infrastructure (such as air travel) even survive?

Would stores and restaraunts even still be open or would everyone just kind of waner off to do their own thing, and everything would be self-serve?

Would infrastructure like power and water grids even stay functional, or would they just stop as workers left their posts?

That obviously changes a lot of what you would do.

Being baptist I'd probably go to the inevitable get together at the church with as much food as I can possibly prepare and invite anyone and everyone along for free food.

I think there may be a link here son...

Everyone first thought will probaly be "Will thats a chunk of money I saved for next month in not paying the bills"

Would depend on your mood though. If you're all zen about it ok, but If you do acid while panicking and terrified about the end of the world and losing your wife and kids you will spend the rest of your time on earth in a waking nightmare.

In the LSD scenario I don't have my wife and kids.

I'm also not really afraid of dying. It is an inevitability, and I accepted that years ago. Granted there are methods of dying that I'm afraid of, but not so much the death itself.

I'm also skeptical as gak, so even if the world was really going to end in 2 days, I wouldn't believe it until I saw it happening.

Methinks if you want serious answers, you should ask serious questions.

No one can a give a serious answer till we actually have it happen or about to occur. Internet will crash before anyone can get back to this post.

Find the fastest car I could and see how high I could jump it.
