Someone asked me this eariler wanna know you guys opinions.


If the world were to end...
Would you want to know...

When the world ends (not knowing how) or how the world ends (not knowing when)


Lmk your opinions.
 
I'll take how the world ends, because it's more exciting
 
I hate you so much for posting this, probably the hardest question to ever answer considering if 1. you know when the world ends but you dont know how to prepare for it so you'll just go completely insane 2. if you know how it ends you'll be spending your entire life preparing for it and not know when it comes for all you know it could be for another 2,000 Years
 
I'd like to know how it would end. A date wouldn't make me too happy. I want to die randomly.
 
I'd like to know how it ends, if I knew the date I'd be thinking about it my entire life.
To be honest, I'd rather choose neither.
 
I would love to know how it ends, not when it ends. I'll probably be so paranoid though; most likely end up committing suicide. At least I'll be famous for telling everyone how the world ends. That way they can prepare for it.
 
I would like to know when it would end, because I would end up finding out how it ended anyways.

If I knew when it would end, it would give me time to do everything I would want to in life before it would end.
 
I wouldn't care to hear either to be honest. If I was forced to choose one, it would be how.
 
NO Because I would be tramutized and Will be paranoid for the rest of the time we have left and I wont have fun so no :(
 
I already know the answer. I will die of hanging myself on 4/31/2056. I will hang myself to avoid torture from Robo-Nazis.
 
I'd much rather know how the world ends, than to know the actual date of the ending. Death has been a subject I've pondered about for a really long time during my personal psychological and philosophical studies, and it's not something that genuinely inculcates fear in me anymore.

Also, speaking of 'the ending of the world' -- just because human life would cease to be, doesn't necessarily imply that the world would be coming to an end. In any case, the more appropriate term should be 'the ending of the world as we know it'. After humans would be gone from the face of the planet (assuming this end would wipe out literally every human), there would still be creatures walking the earth, going about their merry lives. Wind would still blow and rain would still fall from the sky.

In this scenario, I'm not taking into consideration any external factor to the end of the world as we know it, i.e sun imploding, which would genuinely mean the term 'end of the world', seeing as everything would cease to be.

Interesting and thought provoking topic, congrats OP!
 
I wouldn't mind knowing HOW the world ends. But I wouldn't want to know WHEN :|
 
I think if you knew how the world ended, you'd be able to start seeing the beginning effects pretty early on and therefore determine the when. I don't really think I would want to know either though. :(
 
I, personally, am not scared of dieing. I'll pass when it's my time, so sure, I'll take the truth.
 
I'd want to know too many things to put here but one main thing would be why some people in this world are so corrupt?
 
Not to offend you or such @Mac, but your previous sentence was absolutely horrid in grammar. I couldn't understand a thing, plus, this thread is about wanting to know when the world ends, not some other questions.

Good point. People should fear death because there is no evidence of what happens after dying. People fear the unknown. But its a double edged sword. No one knows what happens after you die, so is it good or bad? That's my worry.
