Imagine you had 72 hours before everything collapses. How would you spend that time? Would you stockpile supplies? Would you focus on warning as many people as possible? Would you try to preserve knowledge, like books, hard drives, download internet archives, etc.? Would you collect music or history?

    If it’s one where people would still be alive but without infra, network like crazy.

    I mean, it depends heavily on the type of apocalypse.

    Meteor strike? I’ll just enjoy the next three days. It’ll likely wipe out any chance anyone has of survival.

    Zombies? Yeah, I’d probably try and survive and group up with some of my better equipped friends.

    Global nuclear war? I’ll just off myself. I don’t want to even exist in that scenario.

    sorry I’m already fully booked on Thursday. Friday is really a no and I have a bbq during the weekend. Can we move to early next week? Happy to touch base to find common ground and unleash synergies.

    Without knowing what kind of apocalypse that may be a waste plenty of when humans are extinct or even the whole planet destroyed.

    Get all the grocery shopping done early and then sit back and watch the show unfold.

    I’m disabled and lack community. I would do art until I succumb to the fate the eugenicists who designed my environment and society have arranged for me.

    I’d just go out to a pub every day and night, and just drink. What else are you gonna do

    Rent an isolated cabin far out in the woods, buy anything I can think of that would help me last indefinitely out there, get enough supplies for the short term, then pack it all in the truck and gtfo with my cat in the passenger seat.

    Apocalypse by default isn’t survivable.

    Probably I would try to enjoy the last 3 days and at the end I would repent because it would not hurt to cover all the bases.

    If it would be survivable: I would not last long. Medical / vision / dental coverage is in short supply during the end of days.
    Find a good fortress/ship with water and solar panels, download Wikipedia (annas archive), gather seeds and growing supplies, tools to fix stuff, duct tape: Realistically not happening.

      Yep. Friends, family, elderly and child community members. Recalling, “And poppie, or charms can make us sleep as well, And better then thy stroke; why swell’st thou then?” Make the most of comforting each other.

      “I’m gon’ love you I’m gon’ love you When the world ends I’m gon’ hold you, when the world is over.”

      The rest of the works that are quoted are the readers’ options. This is what’s relevant for me.
