Nope. All internet is disconnected right after the news announcement. Same goes for all phone networks.

No doubt. Some people would turn into absolute animals, and I mean real animals.

Take away the laws of society and people would lose all humanity.

I'm actually shocked more people in here haven't said that they'd kill/eat their coworkers or other dark shit that the human mind struggles to comprehend.

Most of it has been hiding, fucking, or that one person who said they'd spend their last 30 mins playing GTA.

Your post raises the question that if an individual doesn't have humanity, but instead it is imputed by the society in which the individual finds themselves, is "humanity" even a thing?

I've always found it somewhat silly to hear appeals from folks about "humanity." "Appeal to their "humanity." Always thought that was strange as "humanity" (left to its own vices without control of the benefit of a society who creates rules and consequences to we can all benefit from living together), would mean things would be even more brutal. I'm not saying all of us are depraved maniacs, but there is no clear winner on whether mankind is "good" or "evil."

I would question the news.

I work all over so it would a lot would depend on the day of where I was at.

there is literally nothing that would trap me except detainment.

Pretty grim situation, but interesting. It depends, the last desk job I had I was kinda the odd man out (unusual for me) so if I didn't have a buddy to spend the last few minutes in reflection with, I'd probably just try to find some place to be alone with my thoughts and away from whatever other calamity would be going down (which would no doubt be the case). I am not sure how much "trapped at the office" means, but if I could get outside, I would - preferably to see some actual nature, the sky as the last things registering optically for me, rather than staring at carpeting, ventilation piping, fluorescent lighting and office equipment. And then I suppose that would be it, just thinking about everything that had led me up to this moment, if I had led my life satisfactorily, or where there a bunch of regrets and things I'd wanted to get to/missed or blown opportunities. I guess my mood would be colored by that, mainly. It's really hard to imagine, because if you are legit faced with your own imminent demise, I am sure there's a giant rush of adrenaline pumping through your entire system as your fight or flight is maxing out. Also it is said that when an organism knows that death is imminent, it will do a hail mary of trying to reproduce with whatever energy still remains. Being self-aware of all of that I am sure it would affect my mood and actions as well. Maybe I'd go ape shit and just start screaming and breaking everything in sight. Who knows.

Well theres not much u can do,

Pretty lame thought experiment.

 

[FairyD]

Ask everyone in the office if they have any cocaine. I'm not going to die sober.

 

[haxan7]

I’ll beg all of the Black people in the office to take their justified anger and rage out on me so that when I face the spirit of George Floyd in the afterlife, He shows me mercy for having partially atoned for my original sin before facing His great justice.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Work from home these days so would just hold my wife.

That being said, if I was back in the office I used to work at I'd scour the place for booze and just get as wrecked as possible in 30 min.

 

[Durien]

Do you really think you'll spend your last 30 mins fucking or having a fap in the corner?

I literally lol'd and I am still laughing picturing everyone in my building either flapping or fucking lol. My brain would be trying to process the end of all things while people are getting the happy ending to all things.

 

[Burnttips]

What was the dark and twisted answer?

----

I'd just call my sweetheart and try to tell her that she gave my life dimension and relevance

He said you can't call anyone. Plus she's probably banging some guy at her work.

 

[Tschumi]

He said you can't call anyone. Plus she's probably banging some guy at her work.

Well if i can't get to anybody and shit fuck it I'll just wait it out

Second thought is curiously direct.. dunno what to say.. she wouldn't be

 

[Spaceman292]

I already do this every morning anyway

 

[Shubh_C63]

I know exactly what I would do, realistically.

Close my laptop, punch it hard as I can. Make tea, go to the top of the building and sip it for 30 minutes. No joke.

Bonus if there's a visual cue involved to the coming end.

Edit : if there isn't a visual cue for an end I would still want a vantage point seeing people rioting while sipping tea.

 

[Artoris]

Could always piss on the boss but as I am my own boss I guess I would not bother

 

[Alx]

I'm not really an artist (nor religious), but I think getting people to sing along together would be a good way to spend the last minutes. Music is universal, raises the morale and ties people together.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Say my prayers then stand in dignity (in a balcony if possible) while listening to Nier’s music on my phone (I have the mp3 files so I don’t need internet).

 

[BaneIsPain]

The last-ditch effort for new cult.

Rejoice in time of paaaaainnn.

 

[Harold Lloyd]

Give me a nice cup of tea and biscuit and I'll be ready for oblivion.

 

[th4tguy]

Jokes on you, I work from home. I hold my wife and kids. Put on a kids movie and pretend everything is fine. Maybe fix a drink.

 

[fran.fernandez]

Take my phone and watch all photos of my family until it end.
(In thumbnail mode coz iCloud )

Panic with everyone else for the first 10 minutes. Then call the people on my mind and give them my last words.
