Doomsday predictions

[ChiaCheese]

i think things are going to be pretty interesting 60 years from now when we run out of oil.

[el_boss]

I don't believe it will be something direct like the oil running out or war. I'm betting on something bigger, something on a cosmic level. The sun dying out or the big crunch are viable, but it feels like they are too far away to concern us. I'm obviously no expert but I think that something could mess up the earths orbit and the temerature gets either extremely cold or warm. Also something could happen to the moon, which would mess up the tides and there would be floods all over the place. It would also obstruct earth's rythm creating irregularities in the weather and such.

I still think Jesus powered Alien Jedi will enslave us b/c we're better looking then they are

[Turkish-S]

hell will be full and the dead wil come to this world and kill us all.

[LobsterMagnet]

Screw nonobots I see humanity dying from a far more common and less exciting ways. Such as huge wars and conflicts eurupting over the dwindling number of resources. Sad truth is that if everyone on the planet consumed as much as americans do or other well-to do first world nations we would need at least another five earths to support and sustain us. Something needs to be done fast in terms of conservation and switching to green energies or else the next four or five decades are going to be pretty bleak with massive global starvation and global conflicts over basic resources like water and food. Screw technology were doing a pretty good job as is in terms of screwing ourselfves over. Then again maybe there will be a giant swarm of parrots that will rule over all.

Knives has the most logical theory I think.

If I'm not mistaken, most of the US's nukes are expired pieces of shit from the Cold War that don't even work anymore. The only working nukes they have are prototypes. I wouldn't surprised if one bomb has the potential to destroy the entire planet, although that would never happen. Nuclear weapons are what prevents a WW3.

Most if not all of the bombs we make these days are smaller than the ones used on Japan. That, and all the tactical nukes in our nuclear subs work, along with enough ICBMs to retaliate against an attack. I can assure you that much.

As for the end of human kind, there is very little that could kill EVERYONE at this point. A VERY large scale nuclear war with enough aftermath to leave a dense enough cloud cover to allow the earth to cool to the point that the air liquifies might do the trick though.

I say that we wipe ourselves out.

I don't think it will be through warfare, even though we've certainly developed weapons strong enough to annihilate Earth a hundred times over.

I'm betting on us ruining the planet's ecosystem through reckless pollution and making it uninhabitable for the most part. Obviously there will be some pockets of human life thanks to science and technology (always saving our asses), but then those pockets will either be wiped out by natural disasters, a freak accident ("I told you NEVER push the big red button!"), or war.

[Aramis]

I think there will be some disaster that will deacrease world population to, maybe, a few millions or so. Those have to happen every once in a while. The time humanity goes extinct is when we evolve into something else.

[AtHRunOwNZaLL]

i'm gonna have to agree with everything that masamuneehs said

12 Monkeys <-- watch it

[Mr Squiggles]

I'm voting for none other than yours truly being the cause of the earth's destruction. Here's how it'll go:

1: I start my own cult
2: Make millions off of gullible idiots that join my cult
3: Use the money to invest heavilly in a space program
4: I take over the moon
5: Build a "+5 super-atomic mega laz0r of smiting" on the moon
6: lay siege on the earth, and in the process destroy it
7: eat all my cultist minions because I suddenly feel a little hungry
8: I'm the only one left!

[Divinity]

This is Divinity responding from another planet in another galaxy. Like I said, I was chosen to save this planet. The technology here is pretty advance, but medieval like also. Kind of like Final Fantasy. It's pretty cool here. The people are friendly, but there is a lot of evil roaming around. Demons and stuff to be slain. I'm still learning my powers, but hopefully I can get stronger..

OMG DEMONS ARE COMING, I GOTTA GO! TILL NEXT TIME!

Awesome movie.

I'm not worried about the world ending 'cause by that time (hopefully in the distant future), I'll be dead or we will have moved to the moon. But yeah, bombs, war, ruining the ecosystem, a super virus. All of those sound plausible.
