People Admit How They'd Destroy The World If They Got The Chance To

Whether you're religious or not, or watched the CW's "Supernatural", you've likely heard of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Described in the last book of the New Testament of the Christian Bible, the Book of Revelation, they are the result of the breaking of four of the seven seals to bring about the end of the world. But what if they couldn't get the job done alone?

Reddit user OldWiseBlackMan asked "You are now -the lesser known- Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. How do you intend to bring the end of the world?"

Here are the creative, or is it destructive, responses.

Error 3

I am the Horseman of webpages that seem to never load, and right when you click out of it, you see a flash of the loaded page, but by then it's too late. You've already exited. It'll drive people into madness.

Feeling It

[rebelmouse-image 18353735 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I will become The Horseman of Empathy. As the other four horseman physically hurt man kind, I would force the people that survive to feel everything their victims felt. People justify their evil act with things like I had to or it was the only way. This way deep down they will beg for the end, no exceptions.

Whatever

I am Ennui.

I wait.

Because I really can't be bothered.

Someday Soon

I'm procrastination and I will ride... tomorrow! Maybe...

I am the Horseman of Network Unavailable! All your Internet are belong to me...

Same Old, Same Old

[rebelmouse-image 18352658 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I shall be the Horseman of Stagnation

I'd reap the desires and motivations of the masses, making them lazy and lose their goals, while leaders choose the always safe and easy option and slowly everything degrades until, by the time anyone has noticed, the foundations of society crumble under their own self defeating habits.

Scared to Death

[rebelmouse-image 18353739 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I am the Horseman of Fear.

Man will fear his fellow man and humanity will fall apart when no one can trust anyone. Humanity will destroy itself out of needless fear, and my four brothers will follow and plunder.

Waiting...

Horseman of Dial-up internet speeds.

Living on a Dirt Road Pays Off

Fire Ants.

Literally just turning concrete into fire ants.

Pins & Needles

Make everyone on Earth's feet fall asleep at the same time.

Knowledge is Power

[rebelmouse-image 18353748 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My colleagues opine that starvation, disease, conflict, vice or mortality will bring an end to your wretched race. No.

I shall be your end, mortals. Only I can cause all these things without reason or rhyme.

I am Willful Ignorance, though you know me by many names. Superstition. Religion. Worship. Animism. I will cause you to destroy each other, over your silly fairy tales and you will become only a laughable example of how not to conduct yourselves as a species for every star faring race that happens by the smoking husk of your gravestone planet.

See you soon...

Opiate of the Masses

[rebelmouse-image 18353749 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I would be the addiction horse, a whole bunch of people would chase me to their deaths without ever catching me.

Give a Toot

[rebelmouse-image 18349639 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Just crop-dusting everywhere I go.

Pestilence, War, Famine, Death... and Flatulence.

King of Beers

[rebelmouse-image 18353750 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

As the angel broke the fifth seal, he said "Come". I looked and behold, a rider on a Clydesdale and he who sat upon it carried a rusty chalice. He is tasked to destroy the pleasure of the world, replacing all the worlds brews with his products. He bears the name of Budweiser. Man, woman, and child alike wept with the anguish of his coming.

No Right on Red

[rebelmouse-image 18353751 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I will force cars to only be able to turn left.

NASCAR: sport of the Apocalypse.

Irritating

[rebelmouse-image 18352483 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I'm the horseman of mild inconveniences.

Trying to hit that green light? sorry bub, not today.

Tied your shoelaces extra tight today? Yep, still comes untied.

In a hurry to get home from work driving on the freeway? You better get ready for some road rage because grandma is driving at 40mph in the fast lane right next to a semi. You ain't passing anyone.

The world will be mildly inconvenienced into anarchy.

Ick

[rebelmouse-image 18353752 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I'm going to make everything sticky.

Meh...

[rebelmouse-image 18352688 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

You see, my brothers have ridden for as long as humanity is.

Sometimes Pestilence would have a good idea, and the other three would follow. Sometimes War would plant his seeds among powerful men, and the other three would follow. Sometimes, Famine would steal the very sustenance of men, and the other three would follow.

Sometimes, even, Death would come without rhyme or reason, and the other three would follow.

However, time after time, humanity has survived my four older brothers. After all the sickness, carnage, hunger and death men and women would come together from the ashes of pain and misery and start again from scratch.

This time it won't happen, no, for I have been born. Once again, all at once, my brothers will take from humanity, and I will make sure that humanity lets them take it all.

I'm Apathy, and I won't be the one to end humanity. They will do it by themselves.

You KNOW Who I Am

Become unfathomably rich from a loan my dad gave me. Have a series of reality shows. Run for president. Make fun of the entire world. Make a mockery of the political agenda. Fire anyone competent. Then push that button.

While starting a family and having children is a goal that many people have, some do not realize that it's not easy, fun, and loving one-hundred percent of the time. Rather, it's expensive, exhausting, and hard, though it might be worth it in the end.

With this in mind, people shared what they felt were the hardest hurdles of their parenting.

Positive emotions are high among people in the blossoming phase of relationships.

Everything seems more romanticized for people in love due to the amorous joy in their hearts–which also influences their desire to frequently get it on under the sheets–or any other daring location in the heat of the moment.

But for those who've declared "'til death do us part," devoted couples may find that they are not always on the same wavelength sexually compared to when they first met.

There are a number of things people partake in spite of the known possible ramifications they have on their health and safety.

Up to and including smoking, bungee-jumping, recreational drug use, or simply bike riding without a helmet.

Indeed, even though they know that doing any or all of these things could possibly lead to their death, they do it anyway.

Sadly, even though many people go out of their way to avoid doing these things for that very reason, that still doesn't mean they keep themselves completely out of danger.

Sadly, there are a surprisingly large number of things that lead to an even more surprising number of deaths each year.

Frighteningly, these are things that the majority of the world's population does on an almost daily basis.

When Americans visit a foreign country, they tend to notice immediate cultural differences from the minute they step off the plane.

Unique bathroom designs, how you might have to be more specific when ordering coffee in Australia, how many businesses in Spain tend to shut down for a few hours to take a siesta.

Needless to say, this goes both ways, as when people from all over the world visit the United States, they tend to be surprised and amazed by a number of things.

Ranging from the amusing, such as portion sizes and ineffective tea brewing (at least for the Brits) to the truly baffling (HEALTHCARE).
