Philosophical question perhaps. If an asteroid was coming to earth, and we knew it would end all life, and you knew the end was in a month. How would you spend that last 30 days? For me, I would probably work on my bucket list. But with so many possibilities I really don’t know. Maybe spend each night with the love of my life, if she’d have me.
There have been several times over the past two decades (remember , for instance the end of 1999 , the world will end at 2000 ?) when we were told someone had strongly advised us that the world was about to end ? We didn't do much of anything , because we didn't believe it . When we have been told a huge asteroid was coming to earth , we decided one of three things would happen . 1. It would sail past earth , with no harm done . 2. It would burn up in our atmosphere . 3. It would likely land in the Pacific Ocean , Antartic , the Artic , Siberia , or some other unpopulated area .
This was a hypothetical situation just for conversation.
@ChrisJones Hypothetically speaking , based on reactions of the past , the vast majority , won't react , beyond , perhaps , making jokes about it .
Eat all the reeses
Ha ha ha..... You crack me uuuuup
No, I want some of the Reese’s. You’ll have to share.
I call the good and plenty!
@ChrisJones I'm allergic to peanut butter so you can have whatever is left after I die
Russell Stover for me !
@LadyAlyxandrea Well that's just not fair. You can't enjoy a really tasty snack.
Go to all the zoos I could and free ALL the animals I could.
Shenanigans !!!!!
Why wait?
Who says I am ?? ??
We will be dead so I would just shit my pants.
I thought of this.
I think its very realistic myself.
Sounds good. Probably smoke my medical marijuana and have a farewell party.
I would probably smoke my non-medical marijuana and have a farewell party.
Buy a carton of Camel unfiltered (I haven't smoked in many years), a selection of choice liqors and the finest woman money will buy me (if I'm still unpartnered by then) and enjoy those three things nude on a beach in the sun.
Rob banks and take candy from children...all the stuff I would never do without that asteroid bearing down.
If there is time, I would make the rounds and say good bye to all my family members, then drive to a good spot I know on the coast of Maine, reintroduce myself to my old friend opium and slowly drift away.
Well first, I think the end actually is near, for our species and many others. That being said, I have thought about this, but not on an individual level. Collectively, if it really is too late to save ourselves and we can't find anywhere to flee, I think it is correct for us to make some form of monument to our species to show that we were more than just planet destroyers.
On an individual level, I would likely spend quality time with the people I love.
After the initial shock of realization, I am afraid the world would become a very lawless place, you are going to die anyway, so many would just go madly about, pilage, rape, steal, murder, etc.
I'd work on my bucket list, but I think there would be to much chaos to do much of anything.
I would probably try to figure out a way to survive. I may not, but, if I did, I would sure want a way to keep alive. I would stay where I am. Living on a farm, in a rural area, with food, water, critters, my daughter and son in law, and a small number of friends nearby to work with and barter services, could make it work. We are all survivors with lots of skills, and sort of peppers light. Of course, we may all be wiped out in an instant, so if that is the case, we would all be together and go down fighting to live.
I’d fly to LA if airlines were operating still. Otherwise I’d steal a Firebird, Ram, Challenger, or whatever works in the situation and get to LA.
