End of the world

[MepsiPax187]

Here are all the other "end of the world" Prophecies that obviously didn't come to:

There has been about 150 "end of the world" Prophesies (Probably more than that, that were never recorded) and lets not forget the fact that everyone thought that the world was going to end in 2000. so this 2012 stuff is bullshit. Just because the Mayan calender ends at 2012 doesn't mean a damn thing since their 2012 would be different to our 2012.

I hope the apocalypse isn't until at least December of 2011, so I can play Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

[Kirkreng]

I hope it isn't until 2012, Bioshock: Infinite isn't out yet. Also there is still no news on Mirror's Edge 2, so that apocalypse better wait until both those games are out and I had a good amount of time to play them.

[Razor235]

Well, that was a big load of bullshit.

 

Here's something for the "Planetary Alignment" crowd: The last time you spread your crap, when the planets actually lined up, what happened? Did the world end? NO! The oceans rose 1 millimetre. For Planet X: I'm pretty damn sure that that would no longer be a secret, as the amateur astronomers with more-high-powered telescopes detect Nibiru within a year of impact. Comet/asteroid/other-body, same thing. Global warming has merit, but there have been heating/cooling cycles for the entire history of Earth. As for black holes, just shut up.

 

In short, I am not listening to any idiot theories about 2012 and the Long Count.

[Ross Scott]

I thought the world ended for Y2K.

 

[Doom Shepherd]

I'm tired of having to explain to Nibirunuts that gravity is NOT optional.

 

If a big planet came cruising through the solar system every 3000-odd years, its gravitational attraction would totally screw up the orbits of all our little inner solar system planets. In fact, it would have totally screwed them up LONG before humanity even arose. That's not "an opinion" as some of them seem obsessed with saying, it's a goddamn FACT.

So there's this.

[Bjossi]

I am looking forward to late December this year, to see how the believers will react when nothing happens. And I wonder; what will be the next end date people cook up?

[Doom Shepherd]

Oh, that's easy. 2-1-2019. (21,20,19.)

 

Or not.

[Jek Jek Roo]

I think the world had ended some time ago /dunno maybe month ago, maybe on winter/ and we *live* in an illusion life, but we all died.

 

Anyways, if someone mention End Of The World, I image postapocaliptic, fallout-like world. And I'm happy for that. I wish it could be like that.

[Axeldeath]

I wish it could be like that.

 

In reality you wouldn't enjoy it, just like people wouldn't enjoy a zombie apocalypse or a Tolkienian medeival fantasy world. The glorification of these settings in the media tends to do ill to people's minds.

[Dr. Derpy Hooves Ph.D]

Tolkienian medeival fantasy world.

Sure. In reality, most people wouldn't enjoy that.

But come on, you have to admit, it'd be every nerd's dream to live like that.

(Up until they're out of breath for running about 4 seconds.)

[Axeldeath]

it'd be every nerd's dream to live like that.

 

They'd last about 5 seconds until they realize computers and the internet no longer exist. Dragons also look less cool when they're about to eat you alive.

[Dr. Derpy Hooves Ph.D]

They'd last about 5 seconds until they realize computers and the internet no longer exist.

 

I honestly didn't think anyone could be so stupid that they wouldn't realize this beforehand, though.

Well, I did. But I don't think it'd be all too common, at least with the friends I have.

[Pinkie Pie]

Dragons also look less cool when they're about to eat you alive.

I dunno, if I was about to be eaten by a dragon I dunno if I'd run in fear or salute it and accept my death.

[Doom Shepherd]

Forget dragons and computers. I don't want to live in a world without flush toilets.

[Chuckthe2nd]

[Razor235]

Oh, shit.

[Pinkie Pie]

Wierdly enough, the only way to stop it is with bullets.
