Regarding the title: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eScDfYzMEEw :p

We won't vanish for a while, no-ones stupid enough to actually nuke everywhere yet.

Sincerely doubt end will come from nuclear weapons. No country stupid enough to use.

Much more likely that we all die from the utter degeneration of our society, to the point where everyone will start indulging every vice and only live to seek pleasure, ignoring the importance of working hard and decency.

This is a huge amount of human arrogance. The world is not going to die just because we leave, or even if we nuke it into pieces. Life rebuilds itself from the tiniest bacteria after all. As long as even one bacteria survived, within several billion or trillion years life would return, and no matter what the greatest efforts of mankind to destroy it, there will always be life.

We're arrogant, we're stupid, we made too much too fast, and now the current generation are reaping our ancestors' mistakes, and yet we still can't seem to stop making them, or greater ones.

Humans can't destroy the world, only ourselves.
Not if we nuke it enough.

Launch all the nukes general!
Where to sir?
.... Earth... MWAHAHAHAHA MWAHAHAHAH MOOHOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, it'll happen someday, [a href=http://qntm.org/?destroy]somehow[/a], and there's not really much you can do about it.

Me, I'm taking the pragmatic approach of sitting back and seeing what happens. It's going to be a hell of a thing to watch no matter what gets us.

Humans are a species, not a race.
And all things die when they can't adapt, that's just how it is.

The world however, is kinda mineral-based, so it's not exactly alive to begin with.

This is the most ignorant nihilistic POV ever. And it's so general. "OMFG THE WERLD IS DYIN' THERE IS NO POINT IN LIVING ANYMORE *suicide*"

No shit this world is going to hell but try doing something about it instead of contemplating the most horrifying outcome possible and scaring yourself to death.

I think the last 50 humans after the nukes will go out in a blaze of fighting with each other, with each person deciding to become a state, Rep. of Dave style

That's actually a pretty cool idea, I get the GrinningManiac Empire!

If that would be the case, i sure hate i didn't put a deposit on a Vault Tech place. Well in the game the war was in 2077, if i remember correctly. Let's hope we aren't ahead of schedule. But any ways, no one would attack Romania, it's a waste of nukes, so i'm safe, kind of.

Heheh, you think that's scary, look up what an H-Bomb can actually do!

But seriously, don't fear it, just be aware of it, and get pissed off if you hear a retard taking it too lightly. Y'know, cause getting nuked sucks. Just ask the Japanese, I'm sure they'd have a few choice words.

A natural disaster will probably wipe us out. A plague, a super-volcano, or a meteor impact.

When? Some time in the next decade. Before the end of the century, at any rate.

Because.
You watch Mega Disasters don't you?

Although we can be arrogant towards each other, it is very unlikely we will be completely gone any time soon. Even if we nuke the crap out each other, people will always survive and we will always start over. After all, we are getting to the point where we control life itself.

A Gamma Ray Burst. That's what's going to kill us. A bloody awesome Gamma Ray Burst.

I can't wait.
"Measuring the exact rate is difficult, but for a galaxy of approximately the same size as the Milky Way, the expected rate (for long GRBs) is about one burst every 100,000 to 1,000,000 years.Only a few percent of these would be beamed towards Earth."

That's what the link to the wiki said, so apparently the chances of said GRB happening are extremely slim. Probably not for another billion years.

Long wait then.

I'll be nervously looking at my watch every other second, counting down the millions of years. It can't be that long.
