the end of the world meme how are you spending your last days on earth? What if I told you that the world was gonna end? And you had 15 minutes to spend with me or your friends? Would you take the first bus over to my house? Or would you take the last plane over the West Coast? Mike Krol So, the world's ending and nobody knows about it. That's cool. It could be an impending nuclear meltdown, or aliens, or a meteor on a collision course with Earth. You know this is coming, but everyone else in the world is blissfully ignorant. And why would you want to ruin their peace? It's better to let them be happy. Besides, you can pack a lot of shit in a couple of days. Better get started. — comment with your character + prefs. — live out your last day(s). — optionally, thread out what happens next, if you want a neat apocalypse thread.

potential ways to spend your last day(s). Last Love. Romance but make it sad.  Apologies. You can't leave this world without making your amends. Time to call up everyone you know and tell them you're sorry for that bad thing you once did seven years ago. You remember that thing? Doomsayer. To hell with ignorant bliss. You're telling everyone just what the hell is going on here! Who cares if it starts mass chaos? Bucket List. There's a lot you've wanted to do and you've only got so much time to do it all. Starting with... Memories. You want to end things on a good note, so why not spend these last days making great memories? Or reminiscing with someone about old ones? Sad Sack. You know, crying in bed is also a valid option. This is a natural reaction. Please don't feel ashamed. Do you need some tissues? Doomsday Preppers. You're not sitting on your ass, no sir. When the end gets here, you want to be prepared. How many cases of water can fit in your basement? Let's find out.  Goodbyes. If you're not going to give out apologies, you can at least say your goodbyes to people. Making a phone call, turn up at their house unannounced, it doesn't matter. The world is ending! Denial. Yeah, no, everything's fine. This is great. It's probably all a hoax, after all. You're not letting this bother you one bit. In fact, you're opening up a spreadsheet and getting back to work. Panic. The most realistic response, if we're being honest. Sometimes, you need to lose your shit in a blind panic and you need others to calm you down. And that's okay. Squad Up. You're building your dream apocalypse team. Let's see, you need someone who's good with guns, a computer nerd, a getaway driver... Party Hard. Hello? Has Prince taught us nothing? If the world's going to end, you're sure as hell not seeing it all go down while sober. Best Day Ever. Your last day is going to rock. You're going to make it great, and buy all your favorite foods, and watch all your favorite movies, and it's going to be awesome. Lawless. Punch a cop! Kiss a grandma! Who cares! If the world is ending, there are no rules! Wildcard. You're doomed! Have fun! possible ends. Zombies. A dropped vial in Brazil can set off an outbreak in Texas. Aliens. They're taking over the planet, here to enslave humans or something. Or maybe they just want to be friends! Quick to judge much? Supernatural. Demons? There are demons now? Meteor. Maybe a big, strong, flying superhero could punch that thing back into outer space. Nuclear. War? War never changes. Biotech. Something about messing around with human lives never sat right with you. And look who was right all along! AI. Looking at you, ChatGPT. Toxins.  Something got into the air that wasn't supposed to. Spooky, scary mutations imminent.  The Unknown. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Have we forgotten Bird Box already? Don't look. Or maybe it's the other way around? Blink and it gets you. Nature. The trees are fighting back. Biblical. Oh, ye of little faith... Horrific. Something creepy, and twisted, and wrong. Something out of a horror novel. Fluke. Nothing happens. Literally, nothing happens. Don't you hate when you get all riled up for nothing?
