how it ends (2 Viewers)

[ubernuton]

so, how do you rekon the world (as we know it) will end?
i mean almost ever political group belive it will end some way if something isn't done sowhat do you think?



no more argueing about "(as we know it)" you get what i mean

 

[zombie omie jay]

what do you mean the world as we know it
the world as we know it changes constantly and is different to how other people know the world

 

[ubernuton]

yes but the world is constanitly changing, but it is never a big change all at once, we are changing from a world we know to another world we know, what i am talking about isthe world as we know it changing into a world we don't know (and probably killing alot of us on the way)

 

[zombie omie jay]

in other words shut up

 

[ubernuton]

no your question was valid, i had consider puting it in my origonal post, but i figure most people would get what i was on about

 

[katie tully]

why not just change your original post and omit (as we know it)

 

[ubernuton]

good piont

peak oil. its obvious to anyone who's given it some thought.

But the world won't end until the Sun engulfs it. None of those things will destroy the planet.

What you really meant is the collapse of modern civilization. I don't agree that it necessarily will collapse, I think there is a reasonable chance we will work things out and colonize space and develop AI and simulated reality that will allow us to exist for a very long time.

If I had to take a guess at the most likely thing that would end civilization, I'd say weapons of mass destruction for sure.

However, even a nuclear holocaust doesn't preclude some humans from surviving and rebuilding a civilization, or from future intelligent species developing on earth.

ok this post is why i am editing back in (as we know it)
also my advice to you is to learn a bit about peak oil
name me 3 thing in your house that oil hasn't been used to produce

none of those things is possible on this scale without oil. there are no other realistic power sources.

i dont think thats a massive problem in and of itself. the problem is that we can't sustain 6-7 billion people without oil. fertiliser depends on hydrogen - a byproduct of oil refining. transport depends on liquid fuel entirely - look at the distances people in western sydney travel, look at the lack of infrastructure, look at the problems. and the building of new infrastructure depends entirely on oil (liquid fuel).

you cant have nuclear powered tractors, and solar cells take a lot of energy to build (which comes from - yep - oil)

 

[zombie omie jay]

its okay we can replace oil with whale fat

23 poppyseeds later

nah because youd need too many whales and whales need food and food for that many whales would need fertiliser which comes from oil

also medicines come from oil (petrochemicals)

i think a stealthy little burst of gamma radiation from the death of a super massive star would be a pretty mad way to end everything.

although, scientists promise that this will not happen for a billion or so years, there is always the possibility that they are keeping this information from us to prevent the world going to complete shite before everyone's brain boils

 

[zombie omie jay]

you guys arent giving humans much credit lol we are pretty good at surviving

 

[scarybunny]

I swear to god, anything but that.

Meteorite impact (i feel that this is most likely. Lots of big shit flying through space), flu pandemic, anything. But not the zombies.
