The earth has about four years left

[Lizmichi]

If Earth only had a 4 years left I'd spend them basically doing things I always wanted to do and spend time with my family and with my boyfriend. Seeing as how he's a state away from me I'd spend 2 with my family and friends and the other 2 with my boyfriend.

Oh yea and got after every person the was a dick or ***** to me.

get the fastest of road car i can find and travel the world

 

[supermariner]

i'd go to bed until the next world cup
then watch it
then be disappointed
then go to bed again until i get swallowed up by science

 

[Whateveralot]

Hang out with friends for the remainding time then kill myself.
(i don't want to be killed by a black hole it scares me)

That's silly.
What if there is no black hole?

You should lock your head into something so that when the earth gets sucked into the black hole, your body will be ripped off..

 

[John the Gamer]

I'd kill myself because I'd realize that nobody would work anymore and there'd be no more food. Also the black hole would start sucking in the atmosphere real fast, so we'd die from not breathing and space radiation(also cold -> heat from sun escaping).

 

[Ironic]

Eat the Earth... out? >_<

Unfortunate phrasing there.

Gaia has been waiting for the LHC for a long time.

 

[demoman_chaos]

If it was 100%, I'd go on a killing spree under the ruse of saving people from a horrible death by black holification. When teh cops finally tracked me down, I'd race as fast as I can to the black hole and jump in backwards while shooting in slow-motion.

Hopefully I'd be warped to an alternate world that doesn't immediatly want me dead, instead of dying.

 

[neoontime]

Keep doing what I'm doing. Whether it's 4 or 60 years left, I got a schedule I'm sticking to.

 

[Lord Of Cyberia]

I'd have the Swiss use the LHC to make that theoretical Time Machine, then go back in time and destroy the LHC, circuitously causing a paradox that destroys the UNIVERSE instead of the solar system, because if we're goin' down, we're takin' 'em all with us!

 

[Bloodstain]

Try out lots and lots of different drugs.
Oh yeah.

 

[Redingold]

Ok, its got a little longer but a potential (however extreamly rare) outcome of the LHC is a sustained Black hole which would eat the earth out in about 4 years.

No. Learn some physics. Small black holes have a tendency to evaporate almost instantaneously and the LHC doesn't pack enough punch to create large ones.

What exactly is an LHC?

LHC: Large Hadron Collider.

An enormous supercollider based in Geneva, Switzerland, this 27km long magnet-lined ring will accelerate groups of protons to very nearly the speed of light, then smash them into each other in an attempt to create the Higgs boson (a theoretical particle that causes other particles to have mass). The reason that some people are scared of it is because people who (as far as I can tell) didn't know what they were talking about said that it would create an enormous black hole that would engulf the planet (or something). It's nonsense, at any rate. Black holes of the size attainable with the energies involved would evaporate very quickly.

 

[CactiComplex]

If the Earth's only got four years left, then I'll stick to my original plan: got to uni and get my degree, then spend a year travelling (cheaply) around the world before having a career crisis.

If we've got longer, then I'll just have to add more to that plan.

 

[bulldogftw]

For the first 3 years i'd drink and have sex alot but for the last year i'd Become a mad scientist

 

[Blitzwarp]

Wiat for years then laugh when it doesnt happen. Its what I'm doing for 2012.

This would be my plan, too. And if it did end up happening, it's not like I've lost out on my game plan anyway.

 

[rainman2203]

Walk into that place and multiply by zero. That should cancel it out. Nobel Prize please.

 

[d4rkxy13x]

It's perfectly possible that the LHC could destroy the world. I mean, it's perfectly possible that the universe is an illusion, and once you accept that, anything goes.

You have watched the Matrixes or/and Inception one too many times.

OT: I'd probably have unprotected group sex, and do illegal and/or exciting things until the four years are up.

EDIT:

Walk into that place and multiply by zero. That should cancel it out. Nobel Prize please.

You fail, multiplying by zero is possible, it's dividing you're thinking of. *takes your nobel prize*

 

[Tipsythegza]

Build myself up the best possible way to say "I Fucking told you so" New years day of 2013. Develop a way to IRL /Ignore people who say the world is going to end "this exact amount of time due to _____". Finally, Threaten blizzard to make the chat gem in diablo actually do something.

 

[gonzo20]

Pretty much become a raider. Take what I want and kill those who don't want me to take it
That is only if i'm certain the world is ending

same thing as this guy! make a raider gang called the great khans or the fiends and lord over everyone until someone makes a political group and kill our women and children for fun, yay!

Great khans HA! No well will be the Tunnel Snakes Cuz TUNNEL SNAKES RULE!

Spoiler

ha or we can be the vault dwellers!

I did say extreamly rarely, much like it is possible for me to walk through a wall (theres a 1 in 1*10^30 chance of that happening), but I did not say that it would happen. I didn't make the thread to explain that it's possible.

What's the saying?

"Thoughts are real. Perception is illusion?"

Descartes believed that the only way toi have truly rational conception of logic and thought is to completely dull all the senses so that the mind cannot be persuaded by that beyond.

Kinda stupid given that in order recognize our existence we must first perceive ourselves as belonging in time and space.
