You see a giant asteroid plummeting towards Earth.

[ZLTavs 87]

There is absolutely no way to stop it, when it hits Earth it will cause an Apocalypse, what do you do?

 

I would go downtown and blare "The Final Countdown" at full blast and see how many people I can get to sing along before we all die.

 

Even if you survive the inital crash, you will starve to death eventually.

Actually if it's already in the atmosphere, that's the astronomical equivalent to seeing the flash from a nuclear detonation.

If I can see it with my naked eyeballs, then we're already as good as dead by definition, assuming it's of substantial size.

Asteroids are freakishly close to us if the pass into the Lunar sphere, aka pass between the Moon and the Earth within the distance of about 1 light-second) and if they actually come towards us at an angle that allows them to aerobrake and come into a perilous orbit, or worse yet a complete intercept course, there is very little we can do about it if it's closer than the distance from here to Mars- ( A distance which we could cover in about 3 months, in ideal conditions.) Astronomers need a great deal of advanced warning about this kind of thing. Furthermore, they lied to you sort of in the movies Armageddon and in Deep Impact- unloading the world's nuclear arsenal on an asteroid probably would not do anything apart from delay the impact by as much as a small portion of a single second. And blowing it up would only work if it happened well in advance. Like, two-years-before-impact-advance. Otherwise the changed course of the asteroid probably wouldn't help, and space rock would hit us like a shotgun instead of a rifle.

 

I'd probably spend my last moments thinking about my family, or if the opportunity existed, bring someone with me.

I'm a Christian, and I'd love to take a few with me to heaven if I can. Ministering truth, prayer, all that jazz.

There is really nothing else to do really (Especially if its as big an asteroid as you say). At least I'll die looking cool.

[ZLTavs 87]

Also, I would also just like to steal a cop car so I can run people over on my last day on the planet, what are they gonna do, arrest me?

[Ink 191]

Go online and say "Happy apocalypse!" or something equally edgy to everyone on my MSN list then try and get as far underground as possible before it hits.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

*shits bricks*

 

Hmmm since I could do anything id probably steal a bunch of shiz, break and enter without the enter, go downtown and smash cars, and just yell expletives all day.

[null1 606]

I'd pull the Wabbajack out of my ass and start casting spells at the asteroid like nuts, maybe turn it into a mudcrab or a chicken.

I would be singing this song if that would happen!

 

I also would do the same as Blue with what he stated with his last sentence. I would be really sad too

[ZLTavs 87]

You know guys, I'm actually pretty amused at some of the responses this thread has gotten, I even laughed a t a few of them so far.

[Nouth 496]

I'd probably be happy that I did not see humankind to fall so low to destroy itself. Death's just a new begining, so face the asteroid with smile. And perhaps wave it.

Super Pessistism ftw.

 

This is actually one of the most amusing posts I have seen in a long long while, seriously, I giggled at this.

[Sampolo 18]

Well in this case, we will all die but at least we didn't blow each other up, however there is a positive from all of this.

 

Where do we go when we die?

 

TOO EQUESTRIA AND BEYOND!

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Know what else would be fun? Going into an electronic store and throwing all of the tvs on the ground and into everything. Same for going into some kind if glassware store with a bat. Kinda like in Zombieland.

[Evilshy 5,090]

I'd pull out the Keyblade and try to time my strike perfectly so I could hit it back and score a few Tech points, then dodge roll into a Strike Raid to finish it.

[Titan Rising 2,156]

I would try to catch it. Like those guys in Majoras Mask that held up the moon. Then I would walk up there and fight Majora because the number of characters has to be over 100

[Skoogles 45]

Um... start crying and hope like hell that I'm dreaming?

Play Giggle at the Ghosties and huddle with my family before we all die a horrible burning death?

Something like that.

[Fubz 300]

I'd spam minimize and double team to increase my evasiveness every turn. So I could dodge it of course. Hopefully giant asteroid's accuracy isn't too great.

[Zerul 554]

I would be absolutely consumed with adrenaline and I would probably do something like this While screaming out SHORYUKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

I would go swimming with my fam jam. and if I had to do something funny (which I wouldn't I know) than I would run downtown naked and yell the word Octopus, then go buy some Arizona iced tea, I would also buy some ice tea to drink while I swim.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

I would just go to a high place and slowly put my shades on and yell "Come at me bro!" at the top of my lungs... That just seems like the coolest thing to do.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

I suppose I'd just go back to bed. I mean, I might as well. It is one comfy bed. I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I'd die as I lived: Lazy and in bed.

[Evilshy 5,090]

Oh, and if I couldn't find my Keyblade for some reason, I'd find some equally strange friends and do this:

 

 

Because when all else fails, OUENDAN!!!

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

i would use my super-powers to stop it. Then I´d hold it in the air so the dinosaurs could jump on the Earth; Dinosaurs didn´t die, they just flew away on the asteroids! Then I´d welcome them back home and go lie on the kitchen cabinet.

[Samrules350 179]

I would watch as much My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as I possibly could, and if I got finished before the asteroid hit earth I would go into the streets and yell "Screw you all, MY LITTLE PONY IS BEST SHOW" with my middle fingers raised.

[RazzyJam 1,519]

Depends on my mood that day really

 

If I dont feel a need to live another day on the boiling hell that the earth will become after such impact, my first choice would be to run directly at the meteor (assuming it is even close to where I am). I would much rather disintegrate in the immense heats and explosion that it creates initially then be crushed by the molten world that rains from the sky. (again, this is assuming it is an ASTEROID of apocolyptic size, we get hit by small METEORS every day. If its is an asteroid, the impact would flip the crust of the earth over exposing the planetary core)

 

Now, If I am not close enough, or feel like living to see tomorrow, then I would find some place underground. Underground will be cooler, safer, and always have water (given that caves are formed by the movement of water) I can then stay there until the planet stops exploding, which shouldn't take more than a few days. I can then move to the surface, where it will most likely be poisonous to breathe and ash will be falling from the sky. I would use my dampened shirt to breathe through and then seek out whatever survivors and supplies I could. Id find some place hidden to set up camp and start getting technological luxuries.
