I think I'd make a decision other than "try that new restaurant on the outskirts of town" for the evening before the world ends. If I don't know the world is going to end, then my decision now mightn't be optimal in light of that additional information (maybe that still tests something interesting, but it isn't quite the same thing).
Hmm. That could be a good point. If the world were ending, I probably wouldn't waste time on a sit-down meal.
How about if it's your last day in the country and you'll be fleeing to escape religious persecution tomorrow, taking nothing with you?
