Every religion/cult/screaming guy wearing posterboard has an end-of-the-world scenario. What’s the best one?
Fake vacuum decay
The Norse one has a wolf eating the sun. That’s pretty metal.
Recently PLUR1BUS seems alright, one of the characters in the show even argues that things are better
I was going to say that.
I love that show. And unless the original, human, “others” are aware of the whole thing, that is, if the humans are trapped in their own minds/bodies, then I think the pluribus effect is a net positive. Pretty much all human suffering has ended. To rollback the whole thing is to create an incalculable amount of suffering.
I love the way you put it in that last line.
Early abrahamic philosophers go over the god question like this, basically saying that if God/Yahweh/Allah exists and is all-powerful and doesn’t stop suffering, then he can’t possibly be good. Other religious philosophers figured life is a soul building experience, therefore the net good of making positive choices is greater than if everything was perfect by default.
The way the problem is set up in Pluribus is insanely well done.
The Mayan one in 2012 was pretty good, I really enjoyed it. It ended with the masterpiece that is Gangnam Style.
Our schools lunch guy fell so hard into this to the point he quit in the days before the date to stand outside the school all day with a sign warning us of whats to come. Great guy with a good heart but wow did those pastors on that radio station have a grip on him.
I remember further back to the big one in 2000. I had a coworker who was convinced it was the end times and had been massively hoarding food for it. He had even been buying stuff like fruit trees, planting them in his backyard along with building a huge garden.
Friends of his had told us he had built a bunker for his family. He got really weird (or weirder) toward the end of that year and started inviting certain close coworkers, who were still talking to him, to hold up with him and his family.
Oddly enough it was only guys with young wives or girlfriends , and they were specifically invited to join. No one went but we all joked he was trying to start a cult.
The guy soon after got fired and I never heard from him again. Am sure he is still around somewhere.
For a moment there I thought you were talking about gangnam style.
I dunno, I feel like it fell of with the entire Harambe act.
I distinctly remember Gangnam style being earlier in the year (they played it at my freshman orientation), wasn’t the “prediction” for December?
Hella fun at parties btw
Yes you’re right. But it was connected with the December date. It was the first youtube video to achieve 1 billion views on or around Dec 12, when the apocalypse was prophesied.
A virus that makes 9/10 of humanity infertile.
The one from the end of Bugonia seemed pretty good
spoilers, man
Solar-Punk apocalypse. All plastic gone. All oil gone.
Personally I’m a big fan of the Hadron Collider accidentally creating a black hole.
Just as a heads up on this one. Cosmic rays have been doing the same things that have been happening at the LHC, but for billions of years and up to more than a million times higher energy. If the LHC could make a world ending black hole, cosmic rays would have already made one long ago!
I don’t want to be turned to interstellar spaghetti thank you very much
Hyperspace bypass.
Fairest apocalypse because notice was posted.
Dual-vector foil from the Three Body Problem series. Everything just gets lethally downgraded from three-dimensional to two-dimensional.
Infinity war style, snap of the fingers and its all over
Best in what way?
More humane? best chance of recovery? most brutal?
Dealer’s choice.
IT’S A COOKBOOK
Tell me more.
The latest one. My favourite part is people giving away their cars and homes.
Honestly, the visualization alone of Melancholia was pretty fucking amazing. Might as well end it quick, and with a bang, mates.
literally the only thing I enjoyed about that movie were the titties.
movie made me violently ill and gave me a migraine.
Fair and fair. I’m sorry about your brain betraying you. I hope it gets better or more manageable at least. I didn’t actually care for the movie or that whole trilogy, but that ending is impressive, visually.
