I know that this is a joke, but an actual nihilist would just say "ok then"

If they get down on their knees, cry and wet themselves, they are not a nihilist.

I'm a nihilist and I don't think that's true whatsoever. At least to be a moral nihilist, it just means I don't believe in any metaethical framework (no "oughts")

Regardless of whether or not I think killing me would have or create some objectively bad property, I have an egotistical attachment to living, and of course I'm going to try to avoid it.

My ethics and my desires are related but different.

Fair enough. That last point is definitely a good one.
