Personally, I'd go for the zombie apocalypse. But here's all of the ones I can come up with at this point:
1. Zombie Apocalypse
At least that way it may be possible to get people back and if it isn't, I'm sure a lot of people will know how to survive. Plus, I live out in the country where there isn't many people so it wouldn't be hard to avoid zombies. I have a feeling people in the city may not like this option as much though I could be wrong.
2. Technology Crash Apocalypse
This would be a really hard one because when I say technology crash, that includes vehicles, batteries, electricity... everything! And slowly really bad things would happen because people wouldn't be able to transport food and everyone would end up fighting tooth and nail. People may even go crazy in the long run. If you're sick then you can't go to the hospital and you'll die, police wouldn't be able to go anywhere and everyone would run rampant. I doubt anyone would like this whether they're in the city or country but you never know. It may be better than the other options.
3. Meteorite Apocalypse
Everyone dies except some tough plants and animals. That means all people. So not many people should lean towards this one.
4. Human Apocalypse
This is the one where we destroy the world through pollutants and the atmosphere is ruined. If people go underground, they can escape the horrible heat until it eventually settles down. But there really wouldn't be much left and everyone may starve anyway. I guess you could survive off of fish that live deep in the ocean but how would you get to them?
5. Sun Apocalypse
How about the sun going out? Everything would eventually fade away so you'd better have a lot of preservatives made out of the trees before they all die from lack of sun. And don't forget about the cold! You'll need insane heaters for that.
6. Disease (Not Zombie) Apocalypse
Ever read Stephen King's The Stand? Think of that minus Randall Flagg. If you haven't read it, it goes like this: a disease kills off more than half the world and a few people survive because they have some immunity to it. The survivors have to try to survive in a world slowly being taken over be earth because there aren't enough people to run everything and fix it. That may be interesting but there's no way of getting people back because they're dead.
7. Alien Apocalypse
Face it: everyone would die eventually because they'd find you and kill you. Or worse. In an apocalyptic situation, of course. If they're friendly then there shouldn't be an apocalypse but you never know. This one could be interesting but it all depends on what the aliens have as their artillery. I'd still prefer zombies over aliens, though.
8. Nuclear Apocalypse
This would be perfectly horrible. Not only would a lot of people die, but the survivors would be hard pressed to find any clean air, so you can count on oxygen masks being a huge part of your life. And if you do inhale air it's possible you could get cancer with all the radiation in it and die a slow, horrible death. No thanks.
9. Supernatural Apocalypse
This is where demons/vampires/fairies/werewolves/ghosts/whatever-else-you-can-think-of take over the world and obliterate all human life. This may be my second choice depending on which creature takes over the earth, because I have a feeling humans can fight back if need be. But a lot of people would die so that would suck for the survivors when everyone's dead except them.
10. Natural Apocalypse
The earth kills us off through natural disasters like tsunamis, earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes, big ass storms, volcanic eruptions, fires and other things. If this happens and we aren't meant to live, we won't live because one thing we can't fight is the elements. Disappointing.
11. Biblical Apocalypse
This is one apocalypse you wouldn't want to happen if you were a murderer or someone who does horrible, cruel things. Straight to hell for you, thank you very much. Which is why this is one of the freakiest apocalypses out there; everyone will die no questions asked and many people will go to hell. *shiver* No thanks.
12. Technology Takeover Apocalypse
I'm sure most, if not all, of you have seen at least one of the Terminator movies. This apocalypse would be my third choice because we can fight these things too (eventually... hopefully). This is the one where humans make robots or some sort of technology that goes evil and kills everyone to take over the world. 'Nough said there.
13. Animal Takeover Apocalypse
This is the one where animals take over the world and try to kill off humans. Think Planet of the Apes. Now that I think about it, this one probably has the highest survival percentage in my opinion. We can take the animals because we know how to operate technology. Yay for us.
14. Space Apocalypse
We're dead. We've been sucked into a black hole or collided with another planet and that's it for everyone. Zero survival. This may be one of the most likely besides meteor collision and that sucks because there's nothing we can do about it. Boo for us.
15. Normal War Apocalypse
Not nuclear war but a normal gun war. Except everyone in the world is involved and everyone kills each other. This one also has a bigger survival rate than most because whatever side wins keeps their soldiers, but it could possibly destroy the world and kill off more than half of human life. I count that as an apocalypse because it will be a long, bloody, drawn out affair and many, many people will die.
16. Tyrannical Apocalypse
This is like if Hitler had won and only blond-hair, blue-eyed people were left. Some tyrant takes over the earth, killing everyone they don't like, and only a small amount of people are left. Highly unlikely because I'm pretty sure someone would assassinate the tyrant but you never know.
17. Resource Apocalypse
This one is far, far away but if we ever loose all of our resources, all hell will break loose. People will fight each other for resources, get desperate and become animals and everyone will kill each other. It will be horrible mayhem. Or everyone will starve because the world is overpopulated and there isn't enough food to feed everyone. Keep in mind that by that time, all the trees have been cut down and all the water has been polluted so there's nothing.
18. Any Combination of the Above Apocalypses
This would suck because not only would we have to contend with one, but there'd be another (or two or more) going on at the same time and we wouldn't be able to deal with so much. So the survival rate is real low, probably zero depending on which ones are combined.
And that's all I can think of for now. Whichever one you choose is up to you but I hope you don't choose one of the zero survival ones. You can also mix and mash and come up with your own. Great fun for the whole family. For me, the worst end of the world is the one where the dictator burns all of the books. It would be horrible.
