Assume for a moment that you are some sort of high-end research scientist and have just discovered with 100% absolute certainty that the world and everything on it will cease to exist in precisely 24 hours. What do you do? More specifically, how will you spend your last 24 hours of existence? Also, would you tell anyone else? Who? Would they believe you?
Violent, carnal rampage. Really the one true way to finish things off.
I’d high-tail it to my honey, not tell anyone, except maybe her. No need for people like Mullinator to ruin our last big date.
Get ‘in’ with as many women and beers as I can.
I’d move this thread to IMHO.
Kwyjibo – “Hey, baby, I can cum so hard, the world will explode.” 
I’d tell the media and everybody I knew. If I have 100% proof, they’d have to believe me.
So after that, I think I’d make a few phone calls to people I care about and then go outside and watch the anarchy.
Hack the SDMB database and change my post count to something near a billion. That way I win!
You know, this is weird but my first thought was “Spend it with my loved ones.” And then I thought…okay, so that would be my family and my SO. Only my folks don’t know I’m gay. So I’d have to choose if I spent it with my mom, pop and sis or my SO. So then I figured that I’d have to tell them the world was going to end so they didn’t freak about me being gay because hell, what’s it matter then??
So I figure that I’m going to tell them the world is going to end in 24 hours and THEN tell them that I’m gay. Thanks for the great game plan!
Tibs.
I reckon I’d get cracking with that painting I’ve been putting off for too long; 24 hours is only just enough time for the undercoat to dry enough to get the top coat on.
I’d be tempted to go for the hedonistic orgy type thing, but how would you explain the lampshade on your head and lipstick around your collar if you should happen to find yourself face to face with St. Peter? :eek:
Guess I’ll stick to spending the remaining time with the wife and kids.
And I don’t think I would tell. That would just create a world-wide panic and general havoc. Sometimes, ignorance really is blissful.
Check my watch REALLY carefully.
Something involving chocolate. I’ll work out the details later.
Well, I’ll just have to show off my religious side here, but one of the first things I’d do would be to find a priest and do the confession thing. After that I’d try to tell the major news agencies (like they’d believe me, but I’d feel it was the right thing to do) and then I’d settle in with my loved ones and wait for the end.
I’d curse the Science Council for not listening to me when they had the chance!
cbtcad - Finding a priest was the first thing I thought of, too. Funny how for Catholics some things never change. I don’t know about telling the media - on one hand I’d throw the world into choas for 1 day (or whatever time remained). ON the other hand, everyone else should have the opportunity to make their peace, too.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I felt that I would be obligated to allow anyone who wished to prepare themselves for the end to do so.
I’m not returning any rented videos thats for damned sure. I’d also probably go on a killing spree and become a cannibal. And Natalie Portman had better go into hiding.
And let’s not forget the tasselled butt-plug…
But seriously - I’d spend the time looking into Fierra’s eyes.
If the world is going to end, I’m going on the bender to end all benders. I’m thinking any drugs I can get my hands on. I don’t do drugs since many of them are really addictive and bad for you but if it all ends anyhow, why not? I’ll start smoking cigarettes as well. I figure about 1 hour before it hits then I’ll go to confession.
