Well the virus was a hoax. (do I need a /s?)
Don’t underestimate the scale of human stupidity. Most definitely need a /s.
do I need a /s?
Umm, after that shit show, yes lol
Clearly this means it’s already ended. An you sure you’re not in an afterlife right now?
Shit got real fucked up after Harold camping, so I’m not so sure
Welcome to hell
Pretty much feels like it.
Kinda like The Onion, such things are in a tough spot.
Weren’t there some people worried about the end of the world with the most recent solar eclipse?
Jesus. You can’t even see a solar eclipse everywhere when it does happen. Travel really does broaden the mind, I suppose.
Sounds reasonable. If the sun gets stuck behind the moon there we’d be toast because we need light to see stuff and where we’re driving.
We might need light for a few other things, too. :)
You’re right. How are we gonna ever beat Boktai without the sun?
Like finding the car keys in the first place!
Interestingly, there are actually weren’t any such people. AFAIK
There was at least one lady who thought it was the rapture.
I wish they were right because it would be awesome if all religious fundies were taken somewhere else. Too bad they often aren’t good people and many, if not most, would end up being left behind. Imagine the tantrums when they realize they’ve missed the rapture. I bet we’d see a rise in Satanism that wasn’t just a front to challenge Christian bias in religious rights but instead a rebellion against a god that spurned them. And then I wonder if they’d be surprised that atheists still want nothing to do with them.
I was in the path of totality. Which was amazing, but there were a LOT of people crowing about “something” happening during/after the Eclipse.
Was it the occultation ceremony? Please, not the occultation ceremony.
well *gestures at everything* isn’t it just kind of common knowledge now?
Well I did notice it’s been hotter lately
Get out of the kiln.
So hot right now.
Guys! Guys! I just figured it out! The last couple years, we’ve been living in a Monthy Python sketch! Now it all makes sense!
A WIIIIITTCH!!
At least I don’t have to clean my windscreen every time I go for a drive!
How can you predict what’s already here?
You don’t have to when you have the data for the end of the species, we know the rock we are on will still be here just we won’t.
The human species will not end, we are way to many people for that. Even if 99,9% of people die, the remaining 8 000 000 people are more then enough to allow for stable populations even if those 8 000 000 are spread all over the globe in smaller communities.
assuming society collapses before nuclear war.
Even a nuclear war is highly unlikely to eradicate the human species as a whole, the sheer numbers of human beings makes us, as a species, extremely resilient against extinction.
That should not be understood as me saying that we can do whatever we want, not at all. On the contrary, we should do a lot to restore the damage we have done to the earth as fast as possible, or at least reduce the amount of damage we still do to zero if possible.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
It already happened, we are living in the end
We’re big on subscription services now, can’t sell subscriptions if the world is going to end.
We’ve realized it’s not going to be a sudden apocalypse, but a slow one
The religious groups still do, just less loudly.
Religious fanatics more like it. I remember when some guy in Russia declared himself Jesus and started a cult
Do you mean correctly? If not, there have been several predictions this month.
There was a lot of talk relating the eclipse and Israel to the end times, and then last week there was this:
We are living it… You don’t predict what is happening already… :)
I don’t really think that the author of this book believes the world will “end” this soon but anyways. This is a post apocalyptic dystopia that sets it’s scene in Moscow 2033:
spoiler about the metro series
In the later books it kinda seems like that it’s only Russia that has been nuked out of existence so really the world hasn’t ended. But if you just read the first book you would not get to know that
