What if you knew the apocalypse was three days away?

I mean, it depends heavily on the type of apocalypse.

Meteor strike? I’ll just enjoy the next three days. It’ll likely wipe out any chance anyone has of survival.

Zombies? Yeah, I’d probably try and survive and group up with some of my better equipped friends.

Global nuclear war? I’ll just off myself. I don’t want to even exist in that scenario.

Plan a hostile takeover of a Costco

Get all the grocery shopping done early and then sit back and watch the show unfold.

Rent an isolated cabin far out in the woods, buy anything I can think of that would help me last indefinitely out there, get enough supplies for the short term, then pack it all in the truck and gtfo with my cat in the passenger seat.

Uhh get my boyfriend pregnant

sorry I'm already fully booked on Thursday. Friday is really a no and I have a bbq during the weekend. Can we move to early next week? Happy to touch base to find common ground and unleash synergies.

Try to get invited to some cool end of the world parties

Op, do you know something???

I would probably try out heroin. Been saving it for the end because if I need painkillers for health reasons, they would be more effective.

But that is assuming an apocalypse means collapse of "civilization". Imagine if you were a 1%er, and you had all the power and wealth in the world. wouldn't losing all that unearned power be an apocalypse for you, even though it would make everyone's lives better?

One person's apocalypse could very well be everyone's salvation.

I'd just go out to a pub every day and night, and just drink. What else are you gonna do

What do you know?

WHAT DO TOU KNOW?

Also, I already have my own little library so I'm set on that end. I probably would just get get blitzed and enjoy myself with my husband those last three days.

I have books on everything from "doctoring where there is no doctor" to scavenging the local area to encyclopedias, etc.

My library is for the survivors. I harbor no delusion that I am likely to be among them. (And, in the mean time, I just like books.)

I'd go fishing with my dog.

I mean, people seem to think the apocalypse would be survivable, but that's not how I understand it.

But for an impending survivable disaster, I'd get supplies and weapons and head to somewhere remote.

Depends on the apocalypse.

Nuclear? Get a nice tan in the radiation (or Ideally blast zone).

Zombie or a virus? Probably just die. No way I want to live through a zombie apocalypse and the virus would probably be painful.

I don't know why anyone would want to live through an apocalypse. It's bound to be hell.

Without knowing what kind of apocalypse that may be a waste plenty of them where humans are extinct or even the whole planet destroyed.

I'd get really excited, like what I'm going to wear?

I have an interview that day. I just need the cell tower to work until the afternoon and we're good to go.

If it’s one where people would still be alive but without infra, network like crazy.

See yall tomorrow

Call in sick and go fishing, spend time with my family at the creek.

Time for a nap, make something nice to eat, find an interesting book to read. After, have a wander through the garden. Maybe an extra nap, just to stock up. Spend some time with my loved ones. Probably another nap. Rinse and repeat until the end.

Ok so, you're vague on what the apocalypse is, but you did say "before everything collapses", and talk about preserving knowledge. So I'm thinking big solar flare that destroys technology as we know it.

For an apocalypse, this is easy mode. Basically going back to like what, the 50s level of tech for most people. A lot of the world would also not even notice.

Get myself and all the people I care about to withdraw everything they can in cash, even taking out cash loans if possible. Build fereday (sp?) cages for all our stuff. Stock up on a few months worth of groceries and water, and we could probably ride that wave till things get fixed.

Depends entirely on the kind of collapse

Really, it's a question that's too sad for me to answer: I don't know. I'd probably panic, like anyone would. Also, it depends whether there is anything after the apocalypse. If the world is ending and explodes, I am not in a position to preserve things anymore. (I probably wouldn't be if it didn't, either.) If it's just a setback in civilization, and I have a chance of survival, maybe a few of my favorite media on various types of storage. Ideally, maybe hints to check Svalbard once civilization has been rebuilt. (The World Seed Archive and Arctic Code Vault are there.) But, if we want to joke about it: I'll check if anyone's live from Harmageddon.

'revelation, disclosure'

It is "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling".

New shit?

Nah same shit.

Nothing new under the sun.

or Same shit different day.

Also faster, louder and dumber.

Peak pedo creep I guess...

I will go scatch my balls until the peeps have had enough.

Chirp Chirppin

This is it....

nah you will be gone in the blink of a eye...

Thank gawd all men die

That tired old song plays on and on.

0h n0 n0+ dUh f0mO

Yah got me 🪦

I got a coupon for a dollar off

Nah that is a call to action and I call your bluff.

The movie These Final Hours did a pretty good job of painting this picture.(spoiler: asteroid shockwave imminent)

And most comments here have covered the key plot ideas.

I'd fill that 72 hours with drugs and hookers.

Apocalypse by default isn't survivable.

Probably I would try to enjoy the last 3 days and at the end I would repent because it would not hurt to cover all the bases.

If it would be survivable: I would not last long. Medical / vision / dental coverage is in short supply during the end of days.
Find a good fortress/ship with water and solar panels, download Wikipedia (annas archive), gather seeds and growing supplies, tools to fix stuff, duct tape: Realistically not happening.

Fuck me, I have to pay rent soon.

I'd go see my closest family and open up the vintage wines we'd been saving for later
