If the world was going to end in 15 minutes, would you want to know?

brummytom

Would you want to know that death was imminent, possibly spending your last few minutes screaming in terror, but having time to say your goodbyes; or would you rather be completely oblivious to what was going to happen, and go quickly without the wait?



Not quite sure why I've just thought of that... yeah

NinjaTruncs

I guess you want to know what other people would do!

I'd rather know so I could talk to loved ones again

Saila

yes,and then decide how much morals I really have

thetonynator

No

more importantly, if you couldn't have sex or fap, what would you do in that 15 minutes???

Depends on how we were all going to die. If it was going to be slow and full of torture, yes I would like to know so I could just do the job myself and of course say bye to everyone. Also, could we stretch it to maybe an hour so I could find a half reasonable looking guy and do the business one last time?

I'd go find people who could have sex or fap, and stop them.

Latchy

As long as I had time to make it to the atm machine ................oh wait


serious answer - would be nice to say goodbye although can understand the fear people would have known it was game up ,all over so a cyanide pill would be handy to have .

Offy

Id top myself, no point in wasting time!!!!

RachaelVO

We all already know it's happening next year

No I wouldn't, it would mean I'd have to get up and do something like a bucket list, cos sitting on me hole would just feel wrong and frankly I just can't be ars3d... better to live in ignorance

both..............and take a 14 minute shower in between, and maybe make a sandwich too.

Yes, I really hate surprises.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

No

Hell yeah.

Itl take me 12 minutes to get into my superman PJ's and get under my table....apparently getting under the table is pretty much the safest place to be..ever fact!

But then your discounting the possibility certainty of Bruce Willis puting his vest on and single handedly saving the world. Hollywood would never lie to us, would they?

Not unless I was five feet away from a crack and heroin dealer.

wurzlitzer

The world is going to end next year!

Not in 15 mins

and if it was going to end in fifteen minutes, I would keep on watching the Wales vs France game in Paris , as it live on television and it would be interesting to see if France disappeared before Ireland -if a meteorite struck that is, and also the panic in the stadium.

As for ringing people and telling them that I love them.
Everyone knows already i love them, not sure if ringing them would be of any use as telling them i love them is only going to comfort them for 15 minutes, and we will all be dead.

fifteen minutes.....what could you do...

I would make a cup of tea...I love tea

Cú Giobach

No

Absolutely yes, so could get somewhere for a good view of the proceedings and have time too pour a drop of the Uisce Beatha and roll a fag.

wurzlitzer

I would have the cup of tea an finish off the toffy pops I bought today, along with the Jaffa cakes

never mind seachtain na Gaeilge it has been seachtain na brioscai

Is that big moon going to drop out of the sky tonight?

J2D2

Was 42 really the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

Kimono-Girl

We all already know it's happening next year

if there was 15 minutes left in the world i wouldn't be asking questions i would be trying to get j2d2 to stop asking them so i could **** his brains out!

Praetorian Saighdiuir

No

As long as I have enough time to make a cola soda stream and some pop tarts.........bring in on!

wurzlitzer

The crowd in the stadium in paris are doing Mexican waves:eek:

giggsy664

No

Yes, so I could find out how many sugar granules are in one sugar.

wurzlitzer

depends how refined your sugar is?

Ditch

We all already know it's happening next year

I wouldn't want to know. Years ago I went through a period when I quite often felt the world was going to end any time. It was no fcuking picnic

wurzlitzer

sorry Ditch to hear that

but there would not be time to have make and eat a picnic

Biggins

No

Yes if only to be able to tell the kids and wife once more that I love them and have been very grateful for every day they been part or my life.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Yeah I'd want to know. I'd write that novel I've always dreamed of

MagicMarker

No

Yes, so I could take my iodine tablets.

cjmcork

No

yes I'd want to know - I've been saving a giant white toblerone for a special occasion, I'd have it with a cup of tea - it would be a shame to waste it!

Fart

Probably get a Pizza Hut pizza with onion, jalapenos, bacon, bbq chicken, pepperoni, mushrooms and chilli flakes and a few beers.

Or maybe a kebab, I don't know.

wurzlitzer

Kebab would be quicker

not many pizza huts near where i live

michael999999

Ya,so i could plug out all the electricals in the house,and lock all the windows and doors!

Reg'stoy

No

It's always been a life long dream of mine to count from 1 to 901. I reckon the knowledge that I only had 15 mins left to live, might just be the impetus I need to do it.

I can just see myself

One.. one thousand.. Two.. one thousand.. Three.. one thousand...... all the way up to........ Hang on....... Bollox

I really hate that word 'fap'. it's just awful.

Personally, i wouldn't want to know. I'd be so panicked i think so yeah, I'd rather live in denial and then... BOOM!!!

Colmo52

Whats with all the 'What if' threads today.

wurzlitzer

if the world was going to end what biscuit would you have with yer tea

a jaffa cake or a Jammy dodger?

Eve_Dublin

I'd walk out of my house, walk up to one of those hunky Spanish men I see wandering around everyday (here in Madrid) and propose we do very naughty things for the next 15 minutes.

Realistically though, I'd probably start keening and wailing like one of those hysterical Irish Catholic women back in Famine Ireland.

As beautiful as that is I had to say no.

I honestly would just collapse from the fear of what "the end" is.

But it was nice to read a good heart-warming response on AH for once.
