So . . . astronomers spot a very large asteroid heading straight for Earth. They've crunched the numbers and it's going to be a dead-on knock-out blow. Much bigger and much worse than the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. Maybe bacteria and cockroaches will survive. Maybe not. If you aren't in orbit, you won't make it. No technological effort can change the outcome.

How do you spend your time? Going to work as usual? Binge-watchiing Netflix? Raping and pillaging? Trying all the drugs you've heard about? Finally leave your wife and run off with your mistress?

How would the world respond? Wars? Peace? Would enough people sacrifice their final days to keep water and electricity and food available for the rest of us?

None of the above. Such a waste of your time on earth.

Are religion and sex mutually exclusive?

That's really a discussion I would love to spark. What is your take? A large portion of many of the most prevalent faiths think sex is about procreation. If you are procreating knowing the new fetus will die, you have the whole abortion ethic to consider. There are issues about who you can have sex with in most religions. Are you going to have sex with only your wife 4 times a day for a month? There are issues about using the act vs honoring the act and probably other ethical concerns I'm not considering.

For the most popular religions in America there would be a lot to consider and risk if you both wanted to be godly and lusty in your last days.
 
If everybody knows about it, I think it impossible to answer, there would simply be mother-f*ng-chaos.

Now if I'm the ONLY one who knows, that could be fun.

Christianity wants people to have incredible sex within the sanctity of marriage. The Song of Solomon is probably the ultimate marriage guide. Most marriage self help books today are just rehashing what it already said.
 
buy as much stock as I could get my hands on, just in case the astronomer's are wrong. If they're right, oh well, can't take it with you.
 
I don't even think we can comprehend the kind of chaos that would ensue. Your earthly actions would have zero consequence for 30 days, I would just try and keep my family alive.
 
HROT is slipping. Do I have to do everything around here?

Hookers and blow, brah ...

Real answer: Find my family, hang out, reach out ala My Name is Earl to right a few wrongs, and call a couple old girlfriends.

Solomon had 700 wives, 300 concubines, and sent at least one competitor to his death to snag new pussy. Or something like that.

That doesn't sound much like the "marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman" mantra we usually hear from Christians.

But it does sound like fun.

Sex was never JUST about procreation. . . it's an important part of a marriage. But marriage is the only appropriate setting for it and one of the points of marriage was a healthy outlet for sexual desires. For those of us who are not Roman Catholic, birth control and contraceptive methods are acceptable.

Having sex 4 times a day with your spouse and improving ones relationship with God are certainly not oxymorons.

As for me, I don't know probably just spending time with my wife and children. Perhaps doing some traveling although with the breakdown in order traveling might not be possible.
 
If you could go up to the international space station for a few months and then return, would you take that option? No guarantee that the Earth would be safe, but I figure it would be worth trying.
 
I figure there would be a mass scramble to build survivable shelters. In my setup for the thread, I posited that little if anything would survive. But I'm sure some people would make the effort. Perhaps places like NORAD would be safe for a small population if they were far enough away from the impact.
 
Does anyone think there are secret facilities anywhere where people live underground in massively fortified caverns with samples of seeds and frozen animal embryos and such sufficient to regrow a devastated Earth after such a disaster? With the resources and machinery to survive years if not decades while waiting until it's safe to come out?

If you had a chance to be part of such a project - with the understanding that the probability of such an event actually happening is slim to none - would you want to be part of it? The idea being that you would live there permanently.

Hmmm. I bet you could make a movie or TV series out of that. Something similar has probably been done, but I can't think of anything.

It was a part of the movie Deep Impact. Although the length at which people where to live there was far shorter I think.

Not without my spouse and children but I would accept that responsibility if they where able to come.

However I would note that there is nothing about me that is qualified to part of a pool of limited survivors. Any skills I have that would be useful in such a situation one could easily find others who are better at them. I have been sterilized so I would not be able to reproduce further without a successful reversal. Even if that wasn't the case at 33 I am too old to be a good candidate. So I would not make a good candidate for such a project.

As for your international space station question, I would prefer to leave room for others. As I explained before I would not make a good candidate for re-building/repopulating earth.

It would probably really suck. Nobody would go to work, so you can't go do anything or buy anything. Looting and rioting would be crazy. There would probably be a fair amount of people that starve to death in just those 30 days. As someone above said, you'll probably just be trying to stay alive.

The David and Jonathan has some good tips too, but I'm not sure that really addresses the questions about slutting it up 4 times a day.

This was my answer in the Housewarming thread yesterday.

I don't see why it also couldn't double as an apocalypse morale builder.

This only works if you convince yourself that hookers really like you. If they are just workers, you may have a problem with attendance. You may need to become the hooker just to get the blow.

I'm not sure who this Solomon crooner is, but I'm pretty sure Mrs. 22* has never heard him sing...
