Time to ask HN: how do you want to spend the last days of your life?

Some tips from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy:

  “I thought,” he said, “that if the world was going to end we were meant to lie down or put a paper bag over our head or something.”

  “If you like, yes,” said Ford.

  “Will that help?” asked the barman.

  “No,” said Ford and gave him a friendly smile.

Right here, debating with y’all the merits of tabs versus spaces.

I love you

In a pub with family. Somewhere in southern South-America.

You might find inspiration in 2012 movie Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. It does not have especially high rating but I liked it. I keep thinking about it today for some reason. Even if the world does not end, finding a friend is always a good thing.

Personally, I would spend my last days in deep meditation until the very end.

Friends are not big help in this scenario…

Actually, I just remembered even better movie to recommend, if you are not deterred by a black and white foreign movie with subtitles - The White Disease [1] - a movie from 1937 where a hardened dictator, the leader of a big well armed country is preparing to attack a small country during the pandemic of a new disease. The movie is on YouTube for free and I think it is a little known gem for movie connoisseurs.
