9 Stupid Things To Do Today If The World Ends Tomorrow

I’ve lost count of how many dooms day predictions that have come and gone. The last one that took the world by storm was the 2012 Mayan doomsday which even earned itself it’s own underwhelming Hollywood movie.

In the world of metaphysics where science is too young to make sense of what it cannot understand, apocalyptic prophecies are aplenty… and pretty entertaining to read too.

I love all these mystery and suspense stuff. But I’d have to go with science on this one. The one where the Earth will eventually meet it’s demise by crashing into the sun.

That is more of a certainty in the scientific world. But what is uncertain is whether something will come and “take us out” before the big crash.

With how Hollywood have educated us in recent years, there are many events that can either wipe out the planet or exterminate all human life on it.

• Zombie infestation
• Alien invasion
• Asteroid impact
• tectonic plate shift
• Solar flare
• Self-aware artificial intelligence
• Megatron
• etc

I won’t list them all as there would probably not be enough space on this webpage to contain them all.

But what if….? What if a catastrophic event is scheduled to happen tomorrow that will wipe us out. And it is not just a fancy prediction, but a certainty?

I don’t know what I would do… but I do know what are some stupid things I would not do.

1) Call the office to inform them you are not coming in tomorrow

Even though your boss has a meticulous fetish of being informed, you must really have a problem with priorities if you decide to make a courtesy call to inform HR that you won’t be reporting to work tomorrow…

Especially when there won’t be a HR the day after tomorrow to appreciate your sense of responsibility.

There won’t be any leftover work to follow up with any since everyone would probably skip work as well. And you definitely don’t have to worry about how your absenteeism might affect your appraisal at the end of the year.

If anything, you should at least feel a sense of justice that the office will be meeting it’s maker the same time as you.

2) Obey orders to stay indoors

You can almost be certain that in these dire times, the people who have a thirst of order will still be… ordering us around. Broadcast over TV, radio, and large speakers will inevitably warn everyone to stay indoors.

If an asteroid the size of the moon is on it’s way to smash our planet into pieces, no one is going to survive.

It won’t make a difference if you:

• stay indoors
• stay underwater
• hide below the sink
• or sleep over it

Everything will perish.

You might as well make full use of the time that is left to go around seeing the last places you want to see, do the last things you want to do, and visit the friends and family you want to visit.

You’d be beyond crazy to listen to instructions to stay indoors and obey them obediently.

3) Make sure your insurance covers you

Are you serious? Which part of “the world is ending tomorrow” do you not understand?

There will be nothing left to file for your claims. There will be no insurers, no agents, and no money left. You won’t even be around to make those claims. Even your family members won’t be available to submit a claim for for you.

But despite this fact, somehow I won’t be surprised if an agent tries to sell you a policy to cover the event that is going to happen tomorrow.

It will of course include a number of ridiculous clauses that would make your claim impossible.

4) Pay for your parking ticket

Are you seriously even considering paying off the fine?

This could possibly be the only time in life where we can stash those annoying tickets into the rubbish bin and feel no guilt at all over it.

I suggest that you make the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

5) View viral videos on Youtube

I get it. I feel the temptation as well.

In fact, almost every hour, I feel an urge to get on Youtube and look at some funny dog videos to make my day. But this habit really has to take a back seat in our final 24 hours on Earth.

I can understand that you might want to get on Facebook and announce your final appreciation to your friends. Then, you can go on Twitter and do the same to every celebrity you follow. After which, you might as well check your text messages since you are already on your cell phone.

But… don’t waste any more time on Youtube.

Start going through your bucket list and get as much done as possible. And don’t write “watch Youtube” in your bucket list please.

6) Return the library books

Don’t you get it?!

Nobody cares if you return the books you loaned. They will be no librarians to slot those books nicely onto the shelves too.

There will be no records of what you borrowed in a couple of days. There won’t even be a library to speak off.

It’s over.

You are better off keeping those books in case you need to build a campfire tonight from the possible electrical outrage that will cause a global blackout in about 10 hours.

7) Dig up your own underground bunker

How much can you really dig without a heavy-duty excavator? And will you be able to waterproof it at all?

Well… you know what?

It doesn’t mater.

Because that extra-sized comet with the planet in it’s crosshair will pulverize life as we know it into the abyss anyway. Or a solar flare will roast you alive like an oven.

Zombies? You will likely be serving yourself on a plate.

Why waste your final hours on such a strenuous task. That time is better spent chilling out with friends or family over a latte and reminisce the happier days in history.

8) Spend all your money

If by any chance, the stores are still open, you might come up with the brilliant idea to spend all the money you have.

That is… if you can even get an ATM to pay out, or find a bank that has yet to be rampaged by looters.

Walking into a store, you might even find that no cashiers are in operation to collect your payment. You won’t even have to bring your wallet to credit cards to clear out the store!

Spend it online? You’ll never live to the day when delivery is due.

9) Fear

This actually makes a lot of sense.

Fear is caused by the unknown. And since you already know with certainty that the world will end, there really is nothing left to fear anymore. Everyone will meet with the same fate on the same day.

There is no need to fear what happens next. There is nothing you can do to change it.

Wasting time fearing over what is going to happen is really not a great idea in the grand scheme of things.
