Assuming there is an extinction level event at some point in the future, what do you think is the most likely scenario?

If you chose other, what do you think it will most likely be outside of this list?

Also, if you were alive during the event, which scenarios would you attempt to survive through? Which would you just say fuck it and just kill yourself if you survived the main event but had a post-apocalyptic world to look forward to?

Zombies would be cool. At the least, I'd be able to see if the dozens of zombie flicks I've watched have prepared me. Preferably the shambling Romero-style version and not the sprinting "rage plague" version -- I'd give myself about 20 seconds against them.

Environmental/natural disaster - wasn’t sure the difference. But one of those.

And I am 100% trying to survive. I am too weak (strong??) to kill myself. I’d probably die in it, but if I was one of the lucky ones, I’m trying my best to survive.

Bad bad bad day when that supervolcano under Yellowstone goes...

I'd probably ATTEMPT to survive just about anything, even trying to get to remote Montana if there was nuclear fallout. But I don't have much food or water, or guns, or motorcycles or pack animals. So I'm dead in a few weeks, either way.

Walking Dead zombies? I'd give it my best effort and probably do pretty well.

Zombieland zombies? See you on the other side.

I chose Other

The other is "Kardshians". This is similar to the Idiocracy once, except that more and more people are influenced by that family and slowly our society simply stops trying to get better and we all die.

I think your poll is missing the religious aspect, besides the "other" option. I'd choose a "biblical" option if there were one, but for the sake of the options given (besides other), I'm choosing an astronomical event.

Yeah, that's a good one. I pulled my list from an article about apocalyptic fiction, and I'm also a heathen, so the biblical option didn't cross my mind.

What are some earthly natural disasters that could wipe our the entire human race?

gut mentioned the Yellowstone super volcano, which is probably the most likely to happen.

I'm not sure of anything else that would make that huge of an impact.

I can definitely see that wreaking havoc on the United States. Would it have much global impact? I could see rising ocean tides having an effect, but not to the point of extinction. Ice age? Acid rain? Biden gets re-elected?

Shit, if we're going that way, might as well add: "Unicorns and dragons return. And they are pissed."

I'll go with other and that nothing will happen.

All throughout human history, there has been talk of the end times, and yet here we are.

My money is on nothing will happen.

Human history is but a blip. Earth has already seen at least one extinction level event.

It's been a while since I've looked into the potential results, but I'm pretty sure it would wreak havoc word wide.
