The world is ending. In 48hours we'll all be dead. Only you know this. How'd you spend your final hours & why?

Question

If it were happening to me, I think I'd head home to Montreal and go see all my friends. Have loads 'a sex on E. Make some phone calls; tell people I loved them, even the people I thought I'd never say it to. Hug people for the last time. Have more sex on E. Write, laugh, cry, paint, play the guitar, and talk to people. Shoot up (smack not E), and jump of a sky scraper before I came down [but only because the 48 hour death sentence count down makes suicide seem more permissible and the act itself is guaranteed to put an end to a recurring dream].

What about you?

...I recognize it doesn't always make the cut, but it certainly made my list, and those of several others. So for those of you who answered my "48 hours before you die question earlier," and for anyone else really, why is it that 'lots of sex" tends to make the list quite often? Any insight?

Folks please don't post any rude/offensive comments; wit and humour are welcome, but only answer if you have a genuine response.

Come on guys/ladies, humour me. Image for whatever reason you only have 2 days left. What would you do? -and why?

When I asked a similar question before, sex was a high contender on the lists of many. It was the most prominent pattern/inclination with regards to projected human behaviour in such a situation. Why, in you opinions, does this have a tendency to rank so high?

Answer 1

I would spend time with my family and do a lot of praying!

Answer 2

I had a near death experience a few years ago and have been living my life as if I were dying (as the country song goes). I have been sky diving, learned to ride a motorcycle, wrote a novel, ran a couple of marathons...
I still haven't climbed Mount Everest and I'd like to shake the President's hand. Good question. I hope it makes people realize that life is short and there is a lot of things to experience before you go.
One more thing...I do tell the people in my life how I feel about them. We shouldn't wait until time is running out because you never know...

Answer 3

Good question..

well, I'd start off by tracking the guy I like down and telling him that I really like him, and spend the last 24 hours with him. I would see my buddy over in the city next door to me. I would spend time with the rest of my friends, and call the ones who are on vacation right now! I'd of course spend time with family, but friends are more important and supporting for me. I would also cry, write, and go for a really long walk by myself or with somebody. I'd listen to all my favorite songs and keep repeating them till I was tired of them. I would steal a bunch of candy from the corner store and have a big movie sleepover party lol. I"m 16, don't need sex, and not very interested yet. Other..uh..related things maybe LOL.

Answer 5

if the world were ending in 48 hours.....

i wouldnt sleep. id go to hollywood and buy the most glamourus expensive outfit (that i could afford). im usually anti spending money on such cloth, and save it for charity. but there isnt really much purpose for that.id wear it for the next 48 hours. id eat nothing but crap, since physical apperance would no longer matter. the rest is funny, because its similar to yours. cocaine line after line. X and sex. but not heroin, acid. while im tripping out on lsd ill write something completely profound. (only to find out when i come down it makes no sense) ill put that in a time capsule anlong with someother things and bury it. that way if civilation ever comes aroudn again perhaps theyll find it. ill buy lots of wild paint colors and splash it all over my room. then ill get really fuc*ink drunk. and jump (Fly) off the highest building in town with my best friends.

Answer 6

Wow 48 hours is not a lot of time to all the things I have been saying "You know, someday I would like to...."

I guess I would spend the time in quiet reflection of my life... what I did right, what I did wrong.... my triumphs and regrets (we all have regrets, no matter what some might say) I would go out and try to do something really nice for someone who has helped me out in the past.

Then if there was still some time left I would have lots of sex on E... what could it hurt, right?

Answer 7

I would go crazy trying to explain to ppl why we are going to die, spend all 48 hours with my girlfriend, skydive, try to surf, punch bill gates in the face because there is no reason any one person should have that much money even AFTER donating. And as for almost everyone answering having lots of sex, it's because our generation is amazingly addicted to sex, and the rate of obtaining a disease has risen so to most ppl it makes it risky, and again our genoration is the riskyest generation yet.

Answer 8

I get annoyed very easily with panicing people, I would do a quick visit to a view friends and relatives, without telling them that the world is going to end. It would be just like any other visit.

I would then take my son on a weekend away, he'd play his guitar for me, I'd sit by the beach, lake, river etc and read. I'd just relax, we'd hang out, go for coffee, make fools of ourselves, run down the street naked, play knock and run etc. Why panic when you cant change the outcome?

Answer 9

I would spend the time with my loved ones and my birds. I would say whatever I had to say to everyone and probably eat all the things I love, but that are not on my diet. Oh yeah, and my favorite 80's music would be playing in the background. Also I would want to have some last dances. I'd choose lindy, samba and foxtrot. Also I would want one last really fast ride in my Hemi Charger.

Answer 10

I would want to spend it with family and close friends. I realize that some of my family and friends live far away and it would almost be impossible, to see them all in person and if that were the case, I'd want to call them up and tell them how much I love them and how thankful I am, that they were in my life. I would also want to apology to anybody, that I may have hurt unknowingly or intentionally. I would do these things because it would be the right thing to do and I know my "Heavenly Father", would be proud of me.

Answer 11

I'd spend as much of the 48 hours as possible with my 2 kids. I'd just do regular fun things with them, still not telling anyone. I'd talk to God alot (I do anyway) and ask that he please take care of everyone as this was about to happen. But the most important thing I'd try to do, is to be happy.
