I could honestly see some savvy businessman getting this "knowledge" out there so people would fill up his hostel. Great fucking idea, hell you'd probably be able to name your price on some of the rooms there and stack people one on top of one another. Then, and maybe this is the evil coming out in me, start steam rolling the building decemeber 21 morning.

Watch out everyone, the Third Coming of the Badass Cherokee Llama is almost upon us! Repent thy sins!
I had no idea that tag existed. That is amazing.

OT: Yup, crazies gonna crazy. You get weird stuff like this with every predicted apocalypse -- which seem to come about twice a year on average.

I will say the same thing I say every-time to this type of story.

Why are they so worried? I mean doesn't the world already end every-time the Gregorian calendar rolls over already? I mean every January first we have to restart the world but its not so bad.

I can't see why people are doing this. This whole notion is based on an inaccurate assumption with no religious or structural base. Who told them to do this? Why did they assume it will work? Must be the generic most holy place in the area. I'd go to a church, but mountains are more pretty then most churches. (note to self: suggest holding a mass on the supposed end of the world, quote bible about how nobody knows when the end comes).

You know what else can save lives from doomsdays and apocalypses?

Motherfucking logic.

Now, if you don't mind...

this picture says it all, are you kidding me?!

these doomsdayers do know that if the world was going to end it should have happened, what, a year ago now? because the mayan calendar couldn't have accounted for the leap year which had not been invented at that time. These doomsdayers are making my head hurt with their stupidity.

So here's a story that my first response to was pretty much just: "wat?"

Source: http://news.sky.com/story/1024497/doomsday-cultists-flock-to-serbian-mountain


What are the Escapist forum goer's thoughts on this? Secret underground alien pyramids with mystic powers that can be channelled into warding off an apocalypse predicted by an ancient people.
My thoughts on this?

Pretty much this:


Now I understand back in the day when people heard the Apocalypse was coming they were a bit more inclined to believe it because they couldn't fact check the claims (heck most of them couldn't even read), but this is the modern age people! We have scientist and historians who dedicate their lives to figuring this shit out. If the world really was about to end, at the very least a bunch of academics would be trying to hightail it to space.

Besides, we already know why the Mayan calendar ends at that date. It's their equivalent to "switching to metric" with a dash of "couldn't be arse to write down any more", which considering they left a record several thousand years in advance is rather farther than what modern people plan for. We're considered to be long-term thinkers if we have an RRSP for crying out loud. You really can't expect a society to have written out the calendar from their present date to actual end times, because that thing would have to be the size of Jupiter to fit all those notations.

Hee hee hee, the faces when they come down that mountain, each and every one of them. I would go just to be the jackass laughing at everyone on the way down.

Honestly, when will people stop trying to predict the end of the world? The only science-acknowledged one is where that other galaxy collides with us an about 4.5 billion years, start preparing for that, maybe.

All I know is that this has happened before. It will happen again. and it will keep on happening until the world does end, on a date noone knows about, when the flying spaghetti monster flies down on his saucy chariot to purge the non-italians from the earth.

I remember being something like 8 years old and watching Ghostbusters 2, and wondering where the psychic in the beginning got her ideas about 2012, because that was the first I had heard that date. It's funny being here now, and just laughing at the whole matter.

It's gonna be really funny if the world gets totally fucked up on 21st.
I will heartily laugh whilst being burned by the son/purged by God/falling into the center of the earth/drowned/ripped apart by our new unicorn overlords/etc etc.
Suddenly the rapture doesn't sound so bad.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If the world as we know it really ends it will be because of idiots going nuts because they think that the world is going to end.

eh... What do they have to lose aside from time and some money?

I have to admit, I'm neurotic and paranoid enough that hearing such a prediction does rattle me a little bit.... But at the same time it's just as well, I'm paralyzed to stop it anyway so it's of little consequence.

I'm almost positive nothing will happen though. Chance of the apocalypse is less then 10% at least.

So out of curiosity, what time zone is being taken into account for when the world ends. Is it Greenwich Mean Time or something else?
