    What would be your favourite way for good old planet earth to go tits up / end of civilisation as we know it and why?
    Poll to follow.

    Personally I fancy a zombie apocolypse. My neighbours are pricks but own a really good camper van so its an excuse to slaughter them all and swipe their camper.

    Can't imagine the last one leading to doomsday, unless losing Facebook is doomsday.

    And other apocalypses not mentioned...heat death.Grey goo.The return of the messiah and he doesn't have a sense of humour?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    When everyone wakes up without thumbs.
    Where's that in the poll.

    Oh i dont know. If we suddenly lost all street lighting, computer systems, ability to travel, communications etc then Im pretty sure anarchy would follow along pretty quick smart.

    Doesnt the rapture involve a return of jebus at some point???

    Massive solar flare would do more than fry your laptop. The earth would be toast.

    Think he has the Messiah angle covered with the Rapture.

    How about a good old fashioned comet?

    Sentient machines that we have created destroy mankind.
    Actually it's significant that the OP hasn't mentioned nuclear war. The weapons haven't gone away you know.

    Will the sentient machine be called Ultron?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Captain Chaos


    A rouge blackhole or neutron star wandering by is another interesting one.

    He can be called whatever you like Poppy.

    I enjoy the theory that the universe is expanding kind of like a bubble and that one day it will burst and we'll just instantly disappear, and that will be that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    You left out the most obvious one - neutrinos mutating!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,248 ✭✭✭✭BoJack Horseman


    Interstellar style.

    No more okra.

    The horror.... The horror!

    A rouge blackhole? What's that death by garish fashion? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    I reject all of your options and substitute my own.

    I also forgot Human females mutating into 6 " Amazons and over throwing and enslaving men to be used purely as breeding stock.
    I want to change to that one now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Geniass


    The LHC creating another universe expanding into ours.

    Seriously, OP... have you given this any thought? :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,666 ✭✭✭tritium


    Death star ftw!

    (Zombie apocalypse may be more interactive and interesting however)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Geniass


    Male sperm deteriorating and no longer being able to produce viable offspring.

    More of a slow burner and.... euuggggh

    Oh like the Clive Owen movie Children of Men. For unknown reasons no more babies are born for decades. Hmmmmmmm

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Geniass


    Oh like the Clive Owen movie Kingdom of Men. For unknown reasons no more babies are born for decades. Hmmmmmmm

    After reading the book, One Second After, in which nuclear weapons detonate over America and the ensuing EMP wave knocks out electricity across the whole country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,336 ✭✭✭wendell borton


    A rapture like the one depicted in the "raptures delight" episode of American dad, with a kurt russell'esque Jesus battling the anti Christ.

    Something quick.

    Pandemic that kills 90% of the people.

    Planet would at least have a chance to regenerate and future generations might be able to try to live more sustainably.

    Doubt it though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭Saralee4


    im not really religious (which wont bode well for me and my choice) but it would have to be the God one because at least you have some chance of survival as in getting into heaven/afterlife. All others just sound like a frightening miserable scary death.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 728 ✭✭✭pueblo


    and it's all happening 24th September this year apparently...
