So, fair ladies and gentle men, how do you spend this supposed final day of mankind?
And more rhetorically, how WOULD you spend your actual last day on earth if you were completely certain it would end?
-
Probably driik some of the good stuff I've been holding on to for a while...
Oh, and the steaks frozen in the basement. Don't want to let those go to waste...
And sex.
-
Prepare yourself! (http://www.terriblefate.com/)
-
I'm going home by train, which takes hours. I have absolutely no doubt that I will wake up tomorrow morning and the world will be continuing.
-
The dawn of a new age!
(or not)
-
I'll be grading the last mid-term exam of my calculus course like there's no tomorrow.
Get beaten in chess by my kid one more time.
Cuddle with the little woman.
Enjoy that new bottle of Laphroaig.
-
Nobody you'd want to kill?
-
Maybe. But I'm not really certain there's anyone close enough that I know the current location of that I'd kill, y'know?
My usual policy with people I hate a lot is 'Ignore they exist as much as possible', so I've mostly lost track of anyone I'd be tempted to I think.
-
Why bother? The apocalypse will do it for you.
Unless you feel strongly about having the privilige...
-
Lots and lots of sex. And cuddling with my ferrets and kitties and boyfriend and ex-boyfriend because in this scenario I am less concerned about cheating. Oh and cuddling with my former Mistress. Basically a big ol' cuddle puddle.
-
I can tell you one thing - I wouldn't be posting on an internet message board.
It's already the 21st in Sydney. Or, as Charles Schulz always put it: "Cheer up! It's already tomorrow in Australia."
-
The end of the world may or may not take into account time zones.
-
Obviously the end of the world is due on Central Standard Time. Guess people in Eastern will be gloating for a whole hour that they get to watch that last episode of their favourite programme.
-
Good, that means I can play the Song of Time in my own time zone.
-
tomorrow: going to work, come home, shot of rum, play Mass Effect, go to bed.
hypothetical certain end of the world: explicit!
-
Tomorrow-
Go to work, exchange gifts with coworkers, futz around, go home, commence baking and booze marathon in kitchen, cuddle Nick and Fuzz, watch tv, sleep.
End of the World-
Blow the money in our wedding fund on ridiculously frivolous things for myself and those I love, visit my parents, come home, have sex, get stoned, eat a huge and expensive meal, take shrooms, enjoy hallucinations, die.
Might as well go out with a bang, amiright?
-
I'd fuck the coworker of mine who sexted me.
-
Every single customer today on the phones gets told to fuck off.
EVERY. SINGLE. CUSTOMER.
:-D
-
Today I am at work trying to write an english paper which is due tomorrow. Tomorrow I am going to make armor after class. The world will not end and we will be up for another world ending in like 2014 when the rapture is supposed to happen again.
-
I'll tell you what, the girl I just finished tutoring will be pissed if the world does end tomorrow; it's her birthday on the 22nd.
-
Sex and drugs seem popular, unsurprisingly.
I would probably take the opportunity to punch Jimmie Åkesson, the leader of the Swedish right-wing nationalist party, because he is a racist scum pig. The question is if that would make me feel better since we'd both be dead. And I'd probably have to stand in line for hours so... eh.
Getting completely stoned and listen to the whole beatles catalogue (or at least rubber soul onward) would probably be my choice. I'm pretty passive like that. It would also involve chocolate, not quite sure in what way.
Anyway, seems like I'm not dead yet, 40 minutes to go over here.
-
Writing and playing video games is how it shall be spent!
If it were the actual end of the world though.... :evil:
-
Sex. Lots of it. I'd finish off the shrooms I have waiting for me, smoke the rest of what I've got, and just spend my last day in an hallucinatory, orgasmic haze.
Actually I might just do that anyways.
-
Shrooms and weed sound like a fantastic way to spend an apocalypse, but you're gonna trip haaaaard on DMT when you actually die anyway. Because the end of the world means we all die.
-
sex
Might as well go out with a bang, amiright?
-
Looks like I'm going to spend the last day on earth swearing at people.
If it were really going to end I would do the same thing but for recreation, not work.
-
The world could be ending today and I wouldn't be able to tell, with all this fog.
-
I wonder if there's going to be a larger-than-average number of children born next September.
-
The world has ended; you are now all figments of my disembodied imagination.
-
The number of children born around 9 months after Christmas is always higher than average anyway, so if the end of the world thing makes it even higher they're going to need extra staff on delivery suites!
-
Sounds like a career opportunity.
-
Sounds like I'd be working at Christmas :( Midwives don't get bank holidays off, because babies don't wait.
-
Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on

-
And a very happy Solstice to all!
Or a very happy end of the world!
Whichever comes first.
-
Fuck the mayans.
given that they're a people that are still alive this seems kind of an assholeish thing to say (not that I'm calling you an asshole, just that I can't think of a better way to express my feeling about this statement)
edit: also, I'm listening to this right now
-
I told my last caller to have a nice last day on earth.
:laugh:
-
Well, it's already the 22nd in Sydney, and I'm still here.
If I really did think the end of the world was imminent, I think I'd just go and meditate on the cliffs at North Head (http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4121/4756675711_69dbd049a3.jpg) until the curtain of fire swept in across the Pacific. Of course it is coming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Life_cycle), but too far off to be relevant, at least to me.
-
All the Mayans and descendents are facepalming right now...
-
Watching Armageddon right now. Might go get fucked up and then do some fucking of my own to bring the end of the world to a close.

When I think of encountering the end of the world in Australia, I think of parking my little sports car in a garage, closing the door and revving the engine. Hey! Fred Astaire did it!
-
Okay. Fuck those long dead mayans who could not be arsed to extend their calenders beyond our year 2012. Definetely less pithy, but there you go.
Also: it's PC gone mad!!!
man, I never really liked you very much before, but asking you to have consideration for what you say and having that returned to me makes me just not care at all about what you have to say.

It's not a matter of PC - such gratuitous rudeness is simply uncalled for.
The Mayans designed a calendar for their own use, and explicitly extended it for a considerable period. Had there been a need, they could have designed a way to extend it further as easily as anyone else; in fact just repeating it works as well as anything else. Playing around with apocalypse predictions is a bit of harmless fun, but bad-mouthing the designers of a calendar which happens not to have an indefinite length (because they didn't need it) does nothing but diminish you.
Anyway, as expected, the world has failed to end as the result of an arbitrary pattern of numbers being reached, so there's really nothing more to talk about here.
