How this poll works

What is this?

An anonymous worldwide poll with one question: how is the world most likely to end? It is made for curiosity and conversation, not for science.

How voting works

You answer three short questions about yourself, pick a group of scenarios, then choose the exact scenario inside it. After voting you go straight to the live results.

How the time frame works

You choose a time frame such as “within 3 years”. We store it together with the year you voted, so it always turns into real years: “within 3 years” chosen in 2026 means 2026–2029, and the same answer chosen in 2028 means 2028–2031. That keeps old and new votes comparable.

What we collect

Only your answers: gender, age group, country, the scenario you chose and your time frame. No names, no emails, no accounts. Your IP address is never stored. We keep only a scrambled one-way code made from it, which cannot be turned back into the address and is used only to limit abuse.

One person, one vote

After you vote, your browser remembers it and the form closes. Every vote also passes an invisible human check by Cloudflare Turnstile, and each network can send only a limited number of votes per hour. This stops bots and mass voting. A determined person could still vote twice, but a few repeats do not change the overall picture.

Why we suggest your country

We suggest a country based on your connection, and you can change it. If you use a VPN, the suggestion may be wrong.

How results are shown

Results update live every few seconds. You can filter them by gender, age group and country. Groups show their share of all votes, and each group opens to show how its votes split between its scenarios. When a selection has very few votes, we show the number of votes instead of percentages, because a percentage of three votes means little.

Is this scientific?

No. The people who find and share this poll are not a representative sample of humanity. Treat the results as a snapshot of what visitors think, not as a forecast.

Languages

The site picks your language from your browser, and you can switch it at the top of the page. The original text is in English; translations may be imperfect.

Cookies

We use one technical cookie that remembers you have voted, and your language choice is saved in your browser. We also count visits anonymously, without cookies and without storing IP addresses, only to see how many people visit and vote. No advertising and no third-party trackers.
