As cataclysims go this is a really gentle and fun one.
Our homes are not reduced to rubble from n earthquake, we can breathe the air until sick, unlike a mega eruption or an asteroid impact. we can drink the water which is mostly free of radiation. We can listen to music of our choice. We can gargle with Drambuie if we want and of course a spike in births will occur in 9 months.

You can even watch the disintegration of the world on TV. No need to miss a single moment of the agonizing holocaust.
