Hey Pandas, What Would You Do If You Were The Only Person Who Knew The World Was Ending In 24 Hours? (Closed)
I've been having this debate with my friend for a while, and I'm curious to see other people’s opinions.

I would try to spend the rest of my time appreciating the beauty of the world around me.
I would feed all the neighborhood cats all the rest of the cat food in my cupboard.
I’d spend extra time sitting with my indoor kitty. And I would enjoy a good tasting meal. Also I would do my daily yoga and meditation in order to remain calm and serene.
I don’t think I’d tell anyone else because I wouldn’t want to panic anyone, or get into stressful conversations about me being crazy.
Take my dogs, go buy a heap of delicious food, drive to the beach and spend the day with them, spoil them silly and wait to watch the sunset for the last time.
This is a good one! Im'a gonna steal it, ya know, just in case...
One of the most successful ad campaign years ago from a telephone company stated the best response:
If the world was ending tomorrow the phone lines would be backed up with everybody calling their loved ones to tell them how much they were loved.
WHY WAIT?
I would message 10 people on Facebook saying that if they didn't forward the message to 10 other people, the world would end tomorrow.
Call all of my friends, tell them that I love them and how much they mean to me*. Should take about 10 minutes
*I actually did this. In 1999 I contracted MRSA during surgery. By 2001 there was an excellent chance I would not survive. I sent emails to my friends telling them how much they meant to me. In 2003 my infected leg was amputated and 22 years later I have no friends.
Quickly grow out my beard and hair, put on a disheveled robe and stand in the public square with a sign to let everyone know.
I would 360° snipeshot trump
I'd go to the supermarket and buy a couple of bottles of very nice champagne. Because my insides react very badly to alcohol, I'd have to wait until like the 22nd hour before popping the cork, so I can toast our demise happily and not fade out in pain on the toilet - which is the absolute dumbest way to go when you know when it's going to happen.
it depends on the day for me. so like if the world was ending tomorrow, id skip work and go spend my final day with my girlfriend. if it was ending on a Monday, id skip school and spend the day with my girlfriend, and probably bring her to the movies while nobody's there
I would invite all my family and friends over for one last, badas$ game of Cards Against Humanity, while drinking copious amounts of wine.
I’d curse the people who are currently being awful to me (family) and spend time with those who actually like me.
I’d finally draw the art I’ve always wanted to draw and listen to all the music I love.
I’d finally be free, I can express all my emotions and there would be no consequences for me
Drive to my son and grandkids for an unexpected visit. Take them out somewhere nice, beach or something.
This exact scenario is in a short story:
What Did Tessimond Tell You by Adam Roberts.
Depends on the kind of ending. If it's planet or life destroying, I guess I'd do nothing. Just spend the day chilling. On the last hour, have a cup of tea, a shot of whiskey and one last hand-shandy before the end.
I would post on boredpanda about how in 24 hours the cycle will complete, the world end, and jokingly mention something about the few one conspiracy @ thefewone.forumotion.com and crowdfundr.com/thefewone an then i'd sigh and eat some buffalo chicken or maybe drink some wata, wait.. Is THEWORLD ENDIN..
