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?
‘revelation, disclosure’
It is “an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling”.
New shit?
Nah same shit.
Nothing new under the sun.
or Same shit different day.
Also faster, louder and dumber.
Peak pedo creep I guess…
I will go scatch my balls until the peeps have had enough.
Chirp Chirppin
This is it…
nah you will be gone in the blink of a eye…
Thank gawd all men die
That tired old song plays on and on.

Yah got me 🪦
I got a coupon for a dollar off
Nah that is a call to action and I call your bluff.
Ok so, you’re vague on what the apocalypse is, but you did say “before everything collapses”, and talk about preserving knowledge. So I’m thinking big solar flare that destroys technology as we know it.
For an apocalypse, this is easy mode. Basically going back to like what, the 50s level of tech for most people. A lot of the world would also not even notice.
Get myself and all the people I care about to withdraw everything they can in cash, even taking out cash loans if possible. Build fereday (sp?) cages for all our stuff. Stock up on a few months worth of groceries and water, and we could probably ride that wave till things get fixed.
What’s funny is most of the tech we use today peaked at around 1950s or in some instances much sooner. If we lost the internet, or majority of modern computers due to some disaster we wouldnt nessisarly go back to the stone ages.
We kind of already figured out how to make the best design for most technology that actually improves our lives. For fidges, dishwashers, radios, sewing machines, etc. Any little device you can think of has thousands of patents and been designed many many times over.
The only difference sense then is we learned how to manufacture things cheaper and with outsourced labor to be able to spread that technology to everyone. So that means is instead of a product that used to be made by professionals, all metal gears and parts; it now all gets made by the cheapest poccess possible. Arguably things are much worse.
Even computers, like for fuck sake it only took kilobytes of data to go to the moon. A 10 dollar esp 32 can take you to the moon if you knew what you where doing. Yet instead of making good products now we expected Moores law to carry us through bloatware like windows. Software as a service kept creeping in and consuming more power than nessisary. Most people only need to run a web browser, but windows needs 16gigs of ram to run 24/7 spyware on a device thats meant to only last 2-4 years.
Even noncomputer devices need computers in them for either the sake of DRM, SAaS, or planned obsolescence these days. So sadly in a event like a solar flare majority of the people would be sitting ducks.
I have always preached removing any internet of service device from your life as much as possible. Including cars. Sadly half the time that means you also have to learn how to repair or replace these things. Over the past 5-10 years ive been teaching myself on YouTube how to fix my own car, my own dishwasher, my phones, everything really. Mainly due to lack of expendable cash, but now it gives me some deeper meaning in some regards.

It would be catastrophic around densly populated areas, and be easier but still hard for rural residents. It would be a while before the lights came back on.
The movie These Final Hours did a pretty good job of painting this picture.(spoiler: asteroid shockwave imminent)
And most comments here have covered the key plot ideas.
Time for a nap, make something nice to eat, find an interesting book to read. After, have a wander through the garden. Maybe an extra nap, just to stock up. Spend some time with my loved ones. Probably another nap. Rinse and repeat until the end.
Depends on the apocalypse.
Nuclear? Get a nice tan in the radiation (or Ideally blast zone).
Zombie or a virus? Probably just die. No way I want to live through a zombie apocalypse and the virus would probably be painful.
I don’t know why anyone would want to live through an apocalypse. It’s bound to be hell.
Speak for yourself, I play fallout I’m gonna be the leader of the most cool and based faction and we have the right idea of how to run the wastelands!
That sound really uptight.
Maybe you should call in sick, you need a vacation. ;)
I would probably try out heroin. Been saving it for the end because if I need painkillers for health reasons, they would be more effective.
But that is assuming an apocalypse means collapse of “civilization”. Imagine if you were a 1%er, and you had all the power and wealth in the world. wouldn’t losing all that unearned power be an apocalypse for you, even though it would make everyone’s lives better?
One person’s apocalypse could very well be everyone’s salvation.
If it’s one where people would still be alive but without infra, network like crazy.
Without knowing what kind of apocalypse that may be a waste plenty of them where humans are extinct or even the whole planet destroyed.
I am so happy it will be over before my next rent payment. Its like Xmas and my birthday all in one!
So help me GOD, if you guys get my hopes up for nothing, I will end this world.
I have an interview that day. I just need the cell tower to work until the afternoon and we’re good to go.
