You find out this second our star, the sun, just exploded. Its 8 light minutes away, meaning in 8 minutes were all dead

What will you do with your last 8 minutes on Earth?

As weird as it sounds, watch the world burn. I'd sit on my rooftop, take in the last glimpse of my world as it crumbles, and replay every memory I have before the world goes dark.

Play Rems "It's the end of the world" song. Have a bottle of wine with fiance. Be happy I found redemption salvation true love with the man I should have married sooner. Call the airline to cancel our honeymoon in jamaica. Go to a wedding of two freinds.

Find one or more people and/or cats to hug until we die.

Marry Asami/Xenoworlds Beyond

I'm copying Hollyfrost's answer. Lol

Yep, I would find someone to hug, probably Sandra, and call my mom and keep her on the phone until the 8 minutes was up. Or, hug my mom and call Sandra until the 8 minutes is up, depending where I was at the time the sun went nova.

Also....PERHAPS...if I happened to have some pain pills...I might take them. Burning up probably hurts, although it would be over fast. Lol


I like SSB's answer of playing the R.E.M. song. I like that song. I R.E.M.

I also love Skrifa's answer of wanting to be right out there in the middle of it to watch it. To fully experience it. To feel what it looks, sounds, smells, feels like. Spoken like a true writer!

Find a nice quiet and peaceful place before the earth is destroyed

Chill and watch this

Lie on the grass to watch the sky, but with some sunglasses on because that nonsense is bright.

I would panic. I would be devestated that life as I know it is coming to a full end. If I knew that this was having to come to a full stop in 8 minutes I would be crying, terrified, and clinging to my loved ones.

I would call everyone I care about to tell them how much I love them. I would do my best to let go of previous reservations and just let myself be in 8 minutes.

If I had the choice?
I would rather not know it is happening.
I would go about my day as if nothing is going to change. Be happy with my loved one and friends and just feel the freedom of my life as I do every single day. Go out with the bang and just not realize it.

As far as being right out in the middle of it watching it happen, I'm not sure you're going to see much...certainly not the world burning. One nanosecond you'll think, "hey...is that..." the next nanosecond it's over

Myself I think I would turn on some vivaldi and try to bring some closure to my RP before it was over lol

I am a boring individual

Hit the deck and start digging.

I'd probably nap through it!
