If the world was ending, what is the very first thing you'd do?

In My Humble Opinion
41

Go home, get the kid home, tell everyone I love them, drink beer, and watch Bonanza. Same thing I do every day.

42

Blame Bush?

43

snort

44

I’ve never had a pedicure.

45

Do everything in my power to make myself right with god. I’d figure it would take a few hours.
Then I’d gather the kids and the husband and we’d eat a fine meal.
By this time, I figure the panic would set in, so I’m self medicating at this point.
Call my dad, then my mom. Tell my sister what a vile person she is, and forgive her for everything that she has done.
Spend the rest of the time with the family, recalling moments that we’ve had.
At the end, I figure we’d be holding each other.

46

I don’t see my name anywhere in there. Other than that, I guess it’s OK.

47

I would do several things that would probably get me kicked out of my school if the world ends up not ending.

48

I’d sue God. :eek:

Clearly the Earth has not lived up to its guarantee. 6000 years is simply not enough for total failure.

49

Depends on the circumstances of the ending. A lot of scenarios, there are going to be some survivors. So I’d do whatever seemed most appropriate to ensure that I and my loved ones would be among them. I do know of a few particularly juicy scenarios for an abrupt and total end (thunderbolt singularity, say, or a cosmic conspiracy Shwartzschild photon infall), but those all inherently give no warning (you will know not the day nor the hour, indeed).

Meanwhile, all you defeatists… Can I borrow your car, and whatever canned foods you have in your pantries?

50

First I’d check the SDMB and Snopes to make sure. After that, go home and call my family to say goodbye, then have wild monkey sex with my SO till we were both exhausted, then play video games till it was all over.

51

Good one.

52

Yeah, but do you really want to spend the next 12,000 in court? You thought our courts were slow to act, just imagine the one that has to deal with cases from the entire Universe.

53

I’d go to the store and buy a big sign board then go home and write in big letters “THE END IS NEAR!” Then I’d wear it around my neck and walk around the city screaming at everybody.

Hey the OP didn’t say that everyone knew, just that you did. So wouldn’t you like someone to tell you?
