The end of your world is upon you, and you are the one to choose how it all goes down. Which form of the destructor do you choose?

Asked by ragingloli (51971points) December 31st, 2015

Jesus has arrived in your bedroom to announce that the world will end soon, and he lets you choose how the world will end (lava everywhere, demon invasion, zombie apocalypse, etc.).
What way for the Earth to end do you choose?

- Whichever way you choose, the world will know that you made that choice.
– If you decide to abstain from choosing, the world will end in the most gruesome way you can imagine.
– If you decide to abstain from choosing, the world will know as well
– also tell us which you think is the most gruesome way for the Earth to end.

I would choose instant painless death of all sentient creatures via things like rapid brain aneurysms, followed by the planet collapsing into a black hole. I’m not sure what the most gruesome way would be, but imposing this on everyone seems like a decent start.

A rogue planet swings through our solar system and causes it to eject the earth into interstellar space.

Most gruesome: nudge the orbit closer to the sun but not into it.

Presuming you’re intending the destruction of the human race, i choose to make all living humans infertile.

If you mean the third rock from the Sun needs to go bye bye, I’d take us over the event horizon of a black hole.

The most gruesome? A cascade of mass extinctions due to rapid climate change. Hopeless starvation isn’t pretty.

I see no reason to reject the Stay Puff Marshmallow Guy – it worked well previously.

Ask to hold off for 5 billion years and let the Earth get vaporized by the dying sun. Thus showing that science works if the gods would keep from interfering with the universe.

A stray planet enters our solar system. It is blue like our world and like our world it has intelligent life. The civilizations on this world are far more advanced than ours and far more humane. They have records of progress that go back millions of years and they are willing to teach us all that they know.

Unfortunately they cannot control the force of gravity and their world is on a collision course with Earth. For a few days we see beaches and blue oceans in the sky and fabulous cities hanging upside down and drawing rapidly closer like a nightmare and then it is all over.

No stays or delays.

@ragingloli, fair enough. Kill the sun off early…science was right, but messed up the timing.

Or perhaps another flood, but sans ark. It nearly worked the last time.

Fire and Ice
BY ROBERT FROST

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Let Republicans rule the world ,and greed will eat us from the inside out.

I would probably choose for @ragingloli to arrange the thing. That way I get the trifecta:
– the most gruesome method known to mankind;
– the zombie apocalypse, and
– demon invasion with optional lava floods.

A hypothetical question and one containing Jesus, two things Fluther gets all jiggy for. ~~~

Well, it would not be by people asking each other fluffy questions until they go insane and murder each other in a rampage. So, I would choose to have a ”planet killer” comet hit the Earth, one big enough to turn the world into pizza topping in five seconds, then they can at least blame it on scientist.

It would have to be to have mega speakers put up everywhere around the world and have politicians debate their favorite issues and discuss how wonderful they think they are. No moderators. Just audio hell -as it would become intolerable after awhile and everyone’s head would explode.
The worst way? For those in the US- to give Donald Trump the control over the microphone. And Ted Cruz a megaphone. This would, in turn, make everyone’s head implode.
For the rest of the world- have the world’s leaders in charge of each mass of land everywhere so they would have to verbally negotiate, via these speakers, everything they want for their parcel.
Everyone’s heads would then pop off their shoulders after the eardrums bailed ship.

Eat good food and drink to death. Or death by snu snu. Or party too death. Or down fighting those who would destroy our planet. The worst way for the planet is by starving.

The worst possible way for the world to die is slowly.

I choose flood, of course.

Genesis 9:11:
“I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

Ball’s in your court, Father.

I’m a kind person so something quick and painless. I’d like to leave the planet basically unharmed with some sort of life left so that the earth has the chance to recover from all the damage humans have done

If Hey Zeus arrived in my bedroom the last thing i’d be inclined to do is to indulge in his morbid fantasies.
The fucking pervert would get a swift kick in his holy nuts & a volley of verbal abuse as a matter of course.
