There are lots of end-of-the world scenarios or apocalyptic prophesy, and SA is full of dreadful assholes waiting for the world to end because an orange retard became president or gays can marry or whatever pop culture panic is freshest. So, what's your favorite? A few examples: - The classic Christian End Of Days prophesy penned by John of Patmos. John's account is weird and possibly a coded diss at Nero, but taken at face value a pretty scary and fantastic apocalypse, and despite some fringe Christian groups promoting the idea of the Rapture, where the truly faithful are spared, it's far more likely everyone would be thrust into that world ending meat grinder of multi-headed beasts and horsemen of various colors. It's a wild tales of the rise and fall of nations, of demons, the dead rising, Christ returning, etc. You probably have some decent cultural exposure to this one if you are in the western hemisphere. - The Islamic End Of Days. I know nothing about this one. Presumably written by Mohammed? Maybe someone can elaborate ITT. Maybe it's cool? Who knows! Someone fill this blank in. -Other religious end of days. Non Abrahamic religious apocalypses don't matter at all, but some are pretty cool, like the Nordic Ragnarok. Maybe some others. People should post about them ITT if they know some cool ones. There are also the many theorized man-made apocalypses that may be on the horizon -Environmental disaster is an increasingly likely way the world may be destabilized, from rising saline shorelines, overuse and destruction of fresh water supplies, co2 production, unethical oil drilling techniques that might trigger some massive underground methane release that kills most life on the planet, which apparently has happened before on this planet. -Nuclear War can happen, and the preceding environmental disasters may trigger this as the final cyanide pill on a dying planet of retarded apes. Who knows. Far more likely to be a horrifying lovely slow death for humanity than the almost romantic depictions in games like Fallout. -Biological warfare - Not as popular, but we can engineer diseases that can probably wipe out our whole god damned species with a vicious efficiency. Maybe that would be cool? -Lame rear end video game apocalypse crap. This is your zombie/pseudo-zombie stuff, your hostile alien invasions, or whatever. Me personally, I'm hoping for a mix of the Christian apocalypse with some lame rear end video game stuff. I want angels and demons to actually be from outer space, where the angels are the good guys and the demons are the bad guys, and the apocalypse is a cyberpunk battle for the dawn with humans picking a side and fighting covert wars in neo tokyo with cyber implants and laser guns, and mechanical angel wings on hot babes.

P. sure the Islamic apocalypse is basically the same as the christian one since Islam is bible fanfiction. I'd like an environmental one like a disease that kills all humans but leaves the nice critters and stuff alive. I guess Ragnarok is pretty cool too. I wouldnt be a fan of nukes since they pollute everything for a long rear end time and that would suck for whatever comes after humans.

Given the passage of time and the temporal nature of "the moment" our world ends every second we are alive. Once we are all dead the human "moment" will have passed.

they say Einstein's last words or thereabouts were "I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly." I always thought that was special. I don't think a lot of individuals get to go to the grave thinking "yeah, that's probably enough". that's how I want the species to go. no terror, no tears, no regrets, no terrible mistake or howling wrath or cursing the merciless void, just the end of a hard day's work. whatever all this is, we wrap it up to our satisfaction and peace out quietly because there's no more to do. that sounds nice. uh my favorite though is Exit Mundi's "Stop" (I can't believe Exit Mundi is still up btw) which supposes if our entire reality as we understand it was actually a small product of some greater reality (not necessarily a The Matrix, but something like a prismatic refraction of light, but on a cosmological scale) then the slightest shift on that grander scale could just stop that refraction from existing for absolutely no reason within our possibility of understanding. just blonk, no more anything. not even like men in black galaxy marbles, like the entire existence of three spacial dimensions and time are just a hosed up warped version of something that actually makes sense, and we're just this weird mote of consciousness that popped up inside of it and just assume that's the way poo poo is supposed to be.

Einstein can suck it More Ragnarok: quote:The gods then do battle with the invaders: Odin is swallowed whole and alive fighting the wolf Fenrir, causing his wife Frigg her second great sorrow (the first being the death of her son, the god Baldr).Odin's son Víðarr avenges his father by rending Fenrir's jaws apart and stabbing it in the heart with his spear, thus killing the wolf. The serpent Jörmungandr opens its gaping maw, yawning widely in the air, and is met in combat by Thor. Thor, also a son of Odin and described here as protector of the earth, furiously fights the serpent, defeating it, but Thor is only able to take nine steps afterward before collapsing. The god Freyr fights Surtr and loses. After this, people flee their homes, and the sun becomes black while the earth sinks into the sea, the stars vanish, steam rises, and flames touch the heavens.

What's that one where the dude tries to kill himself but at that exact time there was a weird temporal rift and only him and everyone else who died at that second are left and the Earth now has 3 moons or some poo poo? Because that one.

Bismuth posted:Einstein can suck it IMO, that's my big problem with Ragnarok. Loose plot thread. Surt wins and then... what, gets bored and wanders off? He's not like the other Ragnarok monsters. Nobody beats that guy in the end, pretty sure. There's this whole deal about what happens after his fires, and rebuilding the world, and new gods rising up to replace the old, and I don't think Surt should stand for that nonsense. Is it a "Okay, nice Ragnarok this time, really made me sweat for it, see you all in a few thousand years for the next one!" sort of deal?

That 10 Ways The World Could End show on History Channel had some pants shittingly scary ones so none of those. Yellowstone Verneshot is not the way I want to go. I think alien invasion would be the best as at least it'd be kind of interesting initially.

He flings fire that burns the whole world down then goes to hide in the mountains and smoke weed until the earth sinks into the sea I guess.
