    unless you’re sleeping - 8 minutes and maybe 30 seconds to start seeing posts online, 10 minutes to start getting news about it

      I don’t know about you, but if I start seeing headlines about the Sun vanishing, I’m assuming it’s a hoax and going back to bed.

        Maybe if ony one or two places are reporting on it. If all the major ‘reputable’ news sources are reporting it; there’s a pretty good chance there’s something to it.

            dw other people will, and the sun vanishing would cause mass panic and with it all laws & morality would go to go to hell. So unless you live off the grid you’re not going to get any sleep that eternal night :)

            from then you’d probably have a few days to say goodbye to your friends and family, the Earth would rapidly start cooling and humanity would be lucky to have 0.0001% of people survive the first year

              Iceland would have the highest chance. You have to find places that have geothermal or nuclear power and access to pod farming equipment.

              So unless you live off the grid you’re not going to get any sleep that eternal night :)

              You underestimate my ability to turn off notifications on my phone.

                yea realistically nuclear power would be one of the few things to keep humanity going in that doomed world. There’s definitely a couple of bunkers set up to sustain life no matter the situation outside, but aside from the rich and a couple top scientists to think for them everyone else on the planet will die, honestly best course of action would be just commiting suicide with all your loved ones whilst there’s still some wood to burn for warmth.

                I don’t mean the notifications on your phone I mean the screaming, shouting, and arson outside 😭

                I suspect the first hour (though that might be generous) would be grave silent, then all hell would break loose. Nobody will have anything to lose
