If Earth had 24 Hours

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 16:54

If we found out that we all only had 24 hours left to live, what would you do?

by Shemuel 2010-07-30, 17:01

Shag certain people silly
Get drunk
Get more drunk
....

Oh, and praying. Lots of the praying.

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:02

people shem?! wow, that is pretty far, even for you!

by **JPB18** 2010-07-30, 17:04

Never thought of it... But... I would try (yes try) to go to Australia (or NZ)... But then there's also Hawaii, Florida, California, France (Southern), Germany, Russia, Greece...

Other than that I would: The usual for a 16 yo on it's last day Very Happy

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:05

I don't even know if it's possible to visit that many places in 24 hours. Maybe if you could teleport Smile

by Shemuel 2010-07-30, 17:06

What can you do in a day there that you can't do where you are?
(plus, planes, trains, and possibly roads, wouldn't be usable due to panicking people.)

by leewatson1 2010-07-30, 17:07

Get laid... get laid....drink....run about naked..... get laid...drink Smile

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:07

funny how everyone pretty much resorts to having sex and getting drunk. If it were me, I'd try to make my last hours meaningful

by **Thingy** 2010-07-30, 17:17

Meaningful...? How can they be meaningful if the entire human race is about to be wiped out?

Personally, i'd shag every hot woman who'd consent to it, get a shitload of gold (man i love gold...), then drink every mili litre of flavored alcohol i could find, not stopping till i'm so full of flammable liquids that the fire department takes a break from their own shagging and drinking to put a ''Warning: Highly flammable!'' sign on me.

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:18

Right, well you can't expect anything overly deep from non-religious people I do suppose so yeah, sorry to try and be a better person. wow, we really are primitive aren't we?

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:19

and teenagers who are driven by sexual hormones more than the rest of us

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:22

oh and sorry to sound judgemental. I just re-read the posts and they come across a little strong

by **Thingy** 2010-07-30, 17:23

Well, i don't believe in a power above, so the only meaningful thing i could do would be for mankind. If mankind's about to be wiped out, there's nothing meaningful i could do other than shagging a crapload of attractive women and getting drunk till my blood has more % alcohol than the strongest drink ever conceived.

by **JPB18** 2010-07-30, 17:23

Remember... We're still animals... As long as we're animals, we will still be primitive! Very Happy

by Shemuel 2010-07-30, 17:23

Well, what would you do then, DW?

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:25

Most likely explore some, go about, enjoy nature, take in those things that are going to be taken away, pretend like there's still some beauty in this world. I haven't got anything specific, but I dunno, I'd like to try and go out with some maturity

by Philly Homer 2010-07-30, 17:26

Go to Mexico, Wales, Germany, and Russia
Watch a shitload of horror movies
Pray to any number of deities that I can find
Read a book

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:27

funny, I was thinking read as well. I'd probably try to read as much of Sherlock Holmes as possible

by **Thingy** 2010-07-30, 17:29

Well, i'm going out having as much fun as i can, and walking in a forest (did i mention that sweden is a massive forest?) isn't what i find fun. Neither is reading. There is really no reason to read, since you won't have any use of that knowledge when you're dead.

by Philly Homer 2010-07-30, 17:31

Empty sex makes you feel empty.

That is all.

by Evil Person 2010-07-30, 17:33

Well, i would have as much fun as possible, spend most of the time with my family, but i would then go to Germany, Hijack a porche or Lamrigini and just drive ass fast as i can, or i would go somewere pieceful and just sit and enjoy what earth has to offer, OR...i would put myself and family in stasas and go to Aplha Centari......

so using that logic, what's the point of having a bunch of sex and alcohol, using your logic, in effect we should just kill ourselves earlier to get it over with cause there's no point to any of it. and i never said forest, I said explore and enjoy nature and believe it or not, nature is outside of forests as well

by **Thingy** 2010-07-30, 17:35

Yes. Because we have engines and life support systems capable of taking people to alpha centauri in less than a few centuries. We haven't used it to colonize anything yet because we're too lazy.

Empty sex might make you empty in the long term, but there's no long term, just 24 hours.

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:36

but why sex? there's other enjoyable things, why not eat then? like really et all kinds of whatever you want?

by **Thingy** 2010-07-30, 17:42

Well that is a good idea... Cook everything i've wanted to cook (at least some of it... Food stops tasting good when you're full). I'd also say play all the games i've wanted to play, but they all take weeks to fully enjoy. So it's between cook some of the food i've wanted to cook, getting really, freaking, drunk and having sex. Lots of sex.

Might also be able to stuff gold into all that somehow...

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:44

Personally, I think I'd try new things for the sake of trying, crazy things like skydiving or something

by Philly Homer 2010-07-30, 17:45

But getting really really drunk means you don't remember the sex.

by **JPB18** 2010-07-30, 17:46

Trying diferent foods would be a nice idea...

But, if you don't want to have "empty sex" and you do have the pleasurous gift of having what people usually call a Girlfriend, and there is only 24 hours, why not spending time with her? Many people believe that making the person they care about happy is more important than making yourself happy... (and somehow makes tham happy)...

But this is just the hormonal me speaking...

If you don't have... To hell with that! Call the hookers and lets fuck! Very Happy

@Thingy: No getting drunk... I wanna know my feelings before dying... (Although it's useless)...

by **Thingy** 2010-07-30, 17:48

...Hookers are kind of impossible to find now since there's no use for, you know, money?

Also, finding a pilot to fly you anywhere or take you sky diving is going to be hard. I don't think anyone's going to be doing business as usual if they're going to die in 24 hours.

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:50

So I'll fly Very Happy

by Philly Homer 2010-07-30, 17:50

At any rate, before I die I need to get involved in one of these. Like damn, that's brutal as fuck

by **JPB18** 2010-07-30, 17:52

But I wouldn't be the guy in the middle! XD

Yeah, that would also be cool!

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 17:53

not entirely sure that's something i want to be a part of

by **JPB18** 2010-07-30, 17:55

Well... It's cool to be in one... but watch out for those idiots who somehow get their feet above their heads -.-

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 18:00

yeah, still not my idea of fun. I wouldn't want to be a part of some massive group of people tightly jammed together

by Philly Homer 2010-07-30, 18:02

You don't like people.

I would like to do that and go to a hardcore show. Those things are intense! People break bones and shit, it's awesome

by Shemuel 2010-07-30, 18:02

You'd end the world a little quicker for some people.

by **Destral** 2010-07-30, 18:03

Id try to do everything I had always wanted to do in my life. That includes:

-Cramming the remaining episodes of BSG I have yet to watch in my head
-Taste alcohol
-Skydive and/or bungee jump
-Go for a small nature walk
-Spend time with all my friends

I dont know what else.

by Philly Homer 2010-07-30, 18:03

It's my own version of creating chaos on my last day here.

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 18:03

I'd like to play the clarinet again

by Philly Homer 2010-07-30, 18:04

Oh, and go to a Phillies game!

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 18:04

watch some of my favourite movies at the theatre, especially see the original star wars on the big screen, that'd be cool

by Shemuel 2010-07-30, 18:29

Wait, you have never partaken of the alcohol? And you want to watch Battlestar Galactica on your last 24 hours.

Shame. Shaaame.

by leewatson1 2010-07-30, 19:11

Now that i think about it i would say goodbye to my friends and family post a thread on here about we all going to die then go out and do what i've always dreamed off, fly a plane, go for a nice strole in the countryside and make amends with people i may have angerd, beat the shit out of my bullies and then maybe spend the rest with this girl i like.

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 19:14

Id do the flying bit last because don't expect to be able to land Smile

by leewatson1 2010-07-30, 19:15

Well it's always been my dream to fly thats why im going to join the RAF

by Shemuel 2010-07-30, 19:34

How tall are you/will you be?

by leewatson1 2010-07-30, 19:36

I'm 5Ft 9

by **Darkwing** 2010-07-30, 19:37

i hope he enlightens us on the relevance of this

by **Thingy** 2010-07-30, 19:38

You can't be too tall if you want to fit into the cockpit of a eurofighter or the like.
