Final day on Earth, how would you react?

clever user name

I was watching a movie last night, 'These Final Days' I think it was called. Basically a meteorite is going to hit earth in 12 hours and nobody will survive. What I found interesting in it was that a lot of people where killing themselves. I personally found this mental. I went onto IMDB and looked at the discussion board for the film and a lot of people said they would do the same.

Although I'd rather live (of course), with no choice I would love the opportunity to get front row seats to the end of the world. I'd climb the highest mountain (within reach), grab a chair, have a few beers and watch it all unfold.

So, bearing in mind that you're f**ked no matter what, what would you do in this situation?

FYI the movie wasn't bad.

I'd kill lots of other people.

Yeah they did that in the film too. I wouldn't bother, but I'd imagine you'd have to have eyes in the back of your head.

I'd arrange an end of the world BBQ on Portmarnock Beach.

I'd try my best to make sure that I'm eating a huge burger and banging a hot chick in the sand at the exact point of impact.

osarusan

Take a half day.

Boom_Bap

I'd get a Big Mac from McDonalds and an XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger from Burger King. Combine them into one burger and sit in a bath of jelly eating it.





Actually, I might just do that this weekend.

I'd make a "boardsies react" video.

I'd try to make sure, as humanely possible, that I'd be standing right where that meteorite was due to land, if it wasn't already on due course to my house.

I'd want to remove any chance that I'm alive for whatever aftermath may occur, but at the same time, I'd be morbidly fascinated in witnessing those final moments.

whatismyname

I'd celebrate, and think it was the best thing ever, like all my Christmases had come at once.

Would I kill myself? I've learned the hard way that, for me at least, this is actually a very hard thing to do, and that I probably don't have it in me so... yay for the meteorite

Too bad nobody would see it

How many geniuses do you think would take a selfie just as it hits? I'd imagine quite a few!

nathang20

I'd start smoking again, absolutely serious!

weisses

Complain about the weather being ****e

fleet_admiral

Id slip out for a pint when the wife wasnt looking

Knex*

In all seriousness though, I'd go to whatever gig Geldoff, Bono, and co arranged for the day.

Dead Aid, or whatever they'd call it.

Akrasia

I'd probably do the same thing I do everyday

Sitting at a desk hitting refresh on the mail tracking website to see where my Amazon delivery is at this exact moment in time.

Daith

Probably play Zelda: A Link to the Past again.

wp_rathead

Pints with the people I love

Mother Brain

I'd shake my fist rigorously at the sky and scream:

"Only 40 years away from a natural death, and I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for THOSE MEDDLING ASTEROIDS!!!"

Then probably an armful of skag once I'd had a good 'aul chuckle.

Pat Mustard

Pop over the the airport. See if those hours of F29 Retaliator can be put to any use.

Bacchus

Quickly update my Fantasy Football team before the Internet went down.

Pink Lemons

Watch Deep Impact & Armageddon back to back.

SEPT 23 1989

Most parents would put their young children to sleep i would imagine

recylingbin

I'd buy a half price monthly subscription to the movie channel.

Ruu

Take a few selfies and post them on Instagram. 'Last day, lol!'

NIMAN

Spend less time on Boards.

Cancel that dentists appointment.

Sequel to 'These Final Hours'? End of the world take two?

whiskeyman

I'd be one step ahead of everyone and plan my funeral.

Weren't thinking of that now, were ya...

Medusa22

I'd eat as much as I possibly could, then I'd have as much sex as I could, then I'd get as drunk and stoned as I could, and I'd repeat this cycle until I passed out/died :pac:

Put sexy time first before you eat that big feed, otherwise things may get a bit awkward...

Be grand, I have excellent sphincter control :pac:

Mr.Carter

Kill my boss, their boss, their boss, etc

allibastor

I suppose, I would figure out fairly quickly if my theory that humans can fly, once we hit a air speed equal to a drop of 1,000 feet or more.

Source as many drugs as possible and listen to Trout Mask Replica on a loop

magma69

Go onto after hours and bitch about everything.

allibastor

Watch old episodes of fraggle rock!!!!

whiskeyman

Surprised no one has mentioned calling 1850 715815...

Ride from Dublin to Tipperary on my motorcycle for the last time to spend my final moments with my OH

BGozIE

Acquire large amounts of expensive whiskey & cigars. Source a high powered rifle.

Sit on top of the GPO taking random people out, all the while enjoying my whiskey and cigars, listening to some classic 80's music.

hurleronditch

I'd do copious amounts of heroin to see what all the fuss is about

donegal.

sex and drugs and rock'n'roll


edit: being middle-aged i can't do any of that until i get the kids to bed, and tucking them in knowing i'll never see them again might ruin the buzz.
So instead of s&d&r'n'r i'll probably just sit on the floor crying

RoyalMarine

So we have doing hard drugs, rape, sodomy, extreme gluttony, and I believe one person will watch fraggle Rock.

Seems reasonable.

I'd probably try all of the above, but for the final moment, I'd probably be in the jacks taking a shìt. Happens every new year or big event.

wellmade2040

I'll ad to the killing people thing- there's some people out there who I absolutely loathe- after that do something similair to the OP

Mr.Carter

I'd love to blown up something really big...like petrol storage tank..like the BIG ones

ThinkProgress

I'd reveal the truth about "god" to as many "believers" as possible... just to ruin their day a little bit more!
