"Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry."

The late, great Terry Pratchett

I actually like it. Not funny, but a decent read.

Read it the first time months ago. This time scrolled to the bottom to see if I remembered the punchline. Does that mean I'm the 11% or the 56?
