All species become extinct given enough time. But with us silly humans, we’d probably destroy ourselves way before nature/evolution ends us. How do you think the human species will end?
-WWIII / Nukes
-Global warming / Pollution / Natural Disasters arising from us destroying our environment
-We will create AI that will eventually take over and kill us all (like iRobot-ish)
-A more advanced species will arise and enslave / kill us
-[insert your thoughts of human demise]

Nukes would be the best way to go. I would get in the lawn chair, pour a beer, then threaten bodily harm to any one blocking my view.
With the help of technology
More advanced species will arise and enslave/kill us.
“Five rounds for them, one for me,” goes the saying. Nah, they just pop you with a death ray or something.
I wouldn’t mind a death ray. Instant death > enslavement (although, we are already enslaved as it is today, only to fellow humans, aka our corporate masters).
@ e. d. Instant death > enslavement. Total aggreement. I had to fire my last two corporate masters.
I’d say Nuclear Warheads. We’d be all here. Then we wouldn’t. Perfect. You die faster than the pain signals reach your brain.
If only. As of right now, our bombs only cause massive death and destruction, but not total death and destruction. It would destroy cities, but they are not yet powerful enough to destroy entire states or countries- yet. But give us another 50-100 years. Tech by then will be “better” and more destructive. Then, we can all be obliterated.
Better, yes better. New Improved. Now with extra blasting power plus long lasting radiation for all your strategic defense needs. Call now. Operators are standing by. Please allow 6 years lead time.
Well
I would say not really. Because when nuclear war starts. Everyone will start launching. Thousands of warheads with a blast radius of 300 miles? I think it’ll be more than enough
Hmm. Lets see. Sometimes I can’t resist a little estimating. About 0.00062 seconds (on the high side) for the blast alone to do you in if it is a few miles away. About 0.150 seconds (at least) before pain would register if there had been a brain left to register it in. That could work. Just be sure to live and work near a high value target and maybe, just maybe show a little gratitude toward the present administration if indeed this was all due to a breakdown in diplomacy traceable to it. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Biochemical/biological warfare.
The common cold.
The antibiotic-resistant super bug
Rhinovirus is by default antibiotic resistant. It also messes with our DNA. We’re having a really bad season for it, from what I’ve seen. Dunno if it’s actually epidemic, but I’ve never seen so many people with the common cold for so long, and with such bad symptoms. Plus, it’d be a funny end to the human race. RIP humans, died of a sneeze.
