The world is ending

Ending how?
Like there's an impending natural disaster we can't fight?
(meteor the size of India/betelguise showed up 5,000yrs+ earlier than expected/saturn randomly exploded and the oncoming debris will knock us out of the galaxy/aliens have unleashed an airborne, waterborne, and bloodborne pathogen made of nanobots which we cannot destroy and kills within moments/4 shady-looking horsemen have just descended from the clouds/etc.)?
Or something sort of preventable/fightable? (so that the world AS WE KNOW IT is over, but people're still alive)
(Cyberdyne robots are sentient & pissed/a comet is coming but we may be able to explode it if Bruce Willis is willing to go/zombies or incurable rabies/99% of people suddenly can't have babies/etc.)?
I guess if there were no chance of survival, and I knew it was all going to be over in 7 days ...
Well, I guess I'd go through a small, devastated period. There'd be a lot of discussion with those I'm close with about our options.
I assume that society would immediately, and violently, shut down. There would be people going buck wild in the streets, and it would be a really dangerous situation. Ideally, I would want my group to get out to a remote location, so we could feel a bit safer in the meantime. No point in cutting it short or making our last days miserable/painful at the hands of some other asshole.
I have a lot of uppers--they'd come in handy, so we could sleep as little as possible.
There'd be a lot of lamentation, I guess. Wishing for more time. But I'd probably try to stifle it as much as possible. Of course, anyone'd want to try to go on a bender, to do a ton of shit they always wanted ... But it's not like you could get on an airplane to travel, or do anything that would involve someone else being at work.
Kind of a depressing thing to think about!

Jeez, I don't know. Probably try to spend as much time as possible with the people I care about. I'm not really the kind of person to go have drunken, sex-filled orgies.
hey guys come on post a little better stop being so sloppy this isnt the recroom
Anyways, i think ven hit the nail on what i would do. There would probably be moments of extreme depression and regret followed by self loathing and ultimately me upset with my family as we spent our last moments together. I would be too depressed to do anything fun really. Not only that, I would rather try to make those around me happy rather that pursue my self interests. ~o:

You'd rather drown than die in your sleep... why? Dying in your sleep, I assume, would be painless, whereas, chances are, you wouldn't have the balls to keep your head underwater long enough, you'd chicken out...
I think if I were going to die on my own terms, it'd be either in my sleep, shot in the head, or lethal injection that puts me to sleep then I die or something, y'know, something painless lol.
However, ignoring the whole terms thing, if I knew I was going to die in seven days, and all my family and friends are gone... what else can I do really? There's no point sitting and getting all emo about it, since crying or repenting isn't going to bring them back, as I said in my earlier post, I'd just carry on doing whatever it is I'm doing, live life like normal until that time comes and I just say "Well looks like this is it..." then go to sleep knowing I won't wake up.
I don't see the point of doing stupid things like people suggest, such as going on a killing spree or stealing cars or raping or whatever lol, and I really think getting all emotional isn't the best thing either, since you're just wasting time, just pretend like nothing has happened/is happening, but know when your time ends, lol.
Is that post srs enough?

It's a long story as to why I would prefer drowning and something not to be discussed in this thread!
Of course, the only thing i'd do before hand, whether it's drowning or dying in my sleep, would be to reread all of Shakespeare's written work again. It'd be the thousanth time over, but it's a fitting end, especially with the Tempest being the last.

I would probably crack open a beer and laugh for a bit at how I never really had aspirations other than making enough to live a middle class life. I would then tell my friend how much I like her...again...and see if anything comes of it.
After that, just do what I normally do everyday and enjoy what time I have left doing it. I see no reason to fear what will happen eventually.

They'd never seriously tell on the news the world is going to end. They'd know society would break and they'd probably all assume it's better to keep quite. As much as the media loves a good story they always like to hold back when it comes to something that actually is really frightening. We never know all the details. That's IF it gets as far as the media. More than likely the government would know about it first and keep it hush and try and find a way to survive whatever it is themselves or horde whatever resources.
