not going to happen, sadly. we get a boring red-giant phase, but we will probably die out from increased luminosity before we ever get there. I think we're all going to die out when an environmental lunatic, working in a virology or microbio lab, releases a pathogen genetically modified to kill us all. This is not science fiction, as scientists have already turned a standard pathogen which targets mice into an apocolyptic 'kill 100% of the mice it infects' pathogen. |

Or we'll reach a worm hole in space that a bunch of aleins have been waiting for our planet to get to so they can pop out and take earth for themselves. |

We call those last people dinner. One time, the power went out in the school, me and some of the people in my shop came up with a very thorough zombie plan
This too |

Red Guard  Posts: 4821 Joined: 14 Oct 2007   | I think the Idiocalypse is the likely one, but for sheer weight of AWESOME I'd have to go for a Zompocalypse coupled with nuclear winter and stars going supernova in the sky as Dethklok brutalise the world. I'd be on top of the stage lights with a sniper rifle. And it would be AWESOME!!! |

So each person is paired up with a brutal death metal or goregrind song, which then becomes their fate? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1261 Joined: 18 Sep 2008  | something along the lines of "Neuromancer" except where the A.I. takes over EVERYTHING and is a benevolent dictator. but it's either going to be nukes or idiocalypse |

But the World didn't end in neuromancer. Wintermute just became a super being in the net, and met another super AI that came in a burst from space that was recorded by SETI. |

That's true. I need to come up with a zombie plan A, B, and C... |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2633 Joined: 30 Sep 2008 | I like zombie apocolypse. Because it allows me to wander the world with my rifle and see new places while relying on my skills to survive. And when the zombies catch up and I have one bullet left, I will end myself. Very much my style. EDIT: What is with all the End of the World bullshit popping up all over the place? |
Beat Writer  Posts: 163 Joined: 6 Dec 2008   | I want the world to end with Al Gore trying his "Nature Saving Device" (super cereal guys), which sets the atmosphere on fire. No wait, nevermind. I'd rather not let Al Gore have the pleasure. I'll destroy the world with my army of super gophers digging to the core and melting the surface with magma. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 907 Joined: 15 Jun 2008   | I was hoping for something completely subverting all the normal apocalypse methods. Especially ones like the Rapture. Just because I want to laugh in their faces at how unfathomably wrong they were. Like have the Norse Gods fly down from the sky and lead the people of earth to battle agains the Ice giants. Then I could laugh and laugh and laugh at the super conservative fringe groups that are always telling me that the rapture is coming and that I am going to hell. |

I think I smell a new episode. As for apocalypse, preferably something I had a part in, like a Doom Ray built by me, or a Weather Dominator. User was banned for: Your.Name.Here Presents: Perma-Ban, the Thread!. (Permanent) |

I also forgot all the bacteria and viruses. And don't forget the volcanoes going off all over the earth, earthquakes (the cause of the volcanoes going off), the Earth's core no longer spinning, a solar eclipse (before the sun explodes, that is),subterranean mole men arising to try to conquer us (because of the eclipse), the ozone layer is disappearing so we can't go outside, and the only weapons that work anymore are swords and spears. |

By survival i assume you mean 'gory death' I'd be calling my friend, who drives APCs for the Army. I'm sure he'd let us in and get some weapons and a few APCs. I'm yet to see a Zombie get in to an armoured vehicle. Assuming there are no boss zombies of course. Then i go for the International Ferries, that's about the safest place you can get with large amounts of storage/growing space and unlimited water supply. |

Seconded, but I'm in the first category. Its very much a 'when' not an 'if'. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1501 Joined: 12 Dec 2007  | If, by an apocalypse you mean the end of the human race. I don't think that it will be by our own hands. For example, global warming will create extreme famine in many places in the world. This will inevitably lead to rising food prices which will create social unrest and eventually global economic collapse. Government will struggle to hold law and order and society will be left much worse off. Resulting wars both National and Civil will lead to the death of most of the population. Eventually the remaining few will be struck by some kind of disease. Without medical centres to research it many will die. Though I really don't think this will happen. Another possibility is that we poison ourselves. The pollution we create, pesticides we use and nuclear waste material we create will eventually destroy the natural environment, food chains and eventually our own food supply. Alternatively or in addition to this as a result of the damage we're doing we may create mass infertility and die out that way. These are both possibilities and quite scary really. ould likely be due to rising infertility. I think we will pollute and poison our food supplies to such an extent that we will become unable to reproduce |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1501 Joined: 12 Dec 2007 | Hilariously my friend's mum is the most well prepared person for a zombie apocalypse in the world! She's just very prudent. She has a large separate cupboard in the house full of food for about a year! Then she has two freezers in the garage also full of food. She has masses of board games and tons of blankets kept around too. She's tiny and doesn't eat much so that food would last her about five years. Oh yea, and she has a three year supply of marmite. Basically she can provide shelter, food, warmth and entertainment during the inevitable stir crazy boredom of a zombie apocalypse. Funny how she's never really heard of zombies. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 584 Joined: 17 Apr 2008 | Economic crisis. Loss of trust in Cash. Decline in trade. Food shortages in developed, over-populated countries. Followed by small inter-tribal fighting as people denegrate into small groups determined to survive. decline in farming due to unstable society. No Nuclear War, or zombies anything. Just a collapse of society as it become to over-complicated to survive. That would be fun. |

Slow, painful, and quiet...can't really ask for much more right. Just the best of the best left to live out a life of a second Dark Age. |

Is that from RvB? lol
I personally don't have a theory now America have dragged Bush away from the button. I do however fear that China will have an "off day" and decide to use some sort of uber-technology to blow us all away...either that or cats...
