Alright, with all of these stupid apocalypse scenarios floating around, such as the Rapture, 2012, etc etc etc, i got to wondering; If I would be taken seriously, what doomsday scenario would I prophesy? Then I thought, what would THEY prophecy?
So then, Escapist Magazine, answer my question for me!
Include a date (time optional), means, and inclusiveness (think believers being carted off to heaven sort of thing).

Personally, mine would have to be this;
On Jan 1, 2222, the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs will leave the earth, bringing the terrible lizard and its ilk back to this earth, killing us all.
Preferably one where most people aren't fertile anymore. Fuck yes, you have no idea how awesome that would be...

A massive earthquake strikes the earth, causing a massive power outage, which causes the fail safes to fail, releasing a superbacteria that kills people. But after 12 hours, they rise from the dead, hunting for human flesh. A bunch of survivors from all walks of life band together to build a fort and hold out the undead hordes.
And that's when the meteor hits.
The meteor wipes out the survivors and brings with it a plague of alien bacteria that start destroying the superbacteria.
So that's why if we build a time machine, we'll still be alive.

Someone invents Super-monopoly, and gets everyone to play it. The ensuing fits of rage cause all but the loser of "Super-monopoly" to be beaten to death, and (cue joking sexism) the loser is a woman, becasue everyone knows women can't play games or manage money. Then, having only two X chromosomes, she is unable to create male life, and the human race dies with a financially incompetent female (/joking sexism).

Honestly though, I would love to see Monopoly end the world (assuming it was going to end anyway, I mean, I'd rather it didn't end truthfully).

The power struggles of everyone on Earth will take there toll on the very fabric of reality. The real and the fantasy will merge together, and the unbelievable will become real. People will gain powers beyond imagination, science and acience fiction will be one in the same, and mythical creatures will roam the Earth. The world decends into chaos, slowly...

The damage has been done, as reality itself crumbles further under all the new super-powered beings fighting for supremacy. It soon becomes too much, and the acient prophecy is revieled. A large pyramid rises from the Earth in a barren desert. Everyone is drawn to it, and the fire that sits atop it. Everyone fights to claim its power. Many die, but many also reach the top of the pyramid. There, they are met by a monstrous firespawn. If it is defeated, whoever beats it will be able to shape reality to their whims. If no one can defeat it...all is lost, and Armageddon ensues, ending everything.

Basically, the plot from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, only with everyone involved.

not really, look at the krogans from mass effect, they might have had some "minor" anger issues. yet humanity is not too far off from that. not to mention we'd all be riddled more std's than those poor people in the valentines day massacre were with bullets.(al capone) but its an apocalypse, not to mention the fighting over mates.
OT: turns out the world was a program running on a computer system and someone tripped over the wire. nuff' said

The Giant Octopus Monster invasion.
Fear for your lives mortals, as their tentacles cover the globe in a vice-like grip slaying all of us in their path!! No one can defeat the infinite army of giant land dwelling octopus monsters.
They shall fight us on the land, the sea, the air, under the ground and even on our forums!!
Truly this is the Octocaplypse!!

Alternatively, die puny humans die at the might of the Sangheili!!

On May 20th, 2011, the Escapist allowed users to click a big red button to get a badge. In jest, it turned everyone's avatar into Justin Beiber once clicked.

Many days passed, yet, still, Beiber remained. Not long after, the entire forum went insane and every single one of them went on a rampage after watching the Uwe Boll film with the same name.

This led to all sentient life on earth to be vanquished leaving Earth's atmosphere to recover and live forever.

Tomorrow at exactly 12:00, noon, the Internet will die. Every server will be down and ever landline will fail. Wireless will cease to exist your fiber-optics will burst into flames. Then the world will slowly descend into chaos and suffering and within 1 week every man woman and child will be dead and all that remains will be the burnt scorched carcass of the earth. So says the last great prophet of man!

Name: The Dolphin Apocalypse
Date: September 19, 2064. The 100th anniversary of the airing of the first episode of Flipper.

The What and How: In 1973 the United States Navy trained dolphins to kill enemy divers and to plant bombs. The operation was cancelled, and training ceased. Or so we thought.

For the last hundred years, the dolphins have passed their knowledge on to their children, who improved upon their technique. As the dolphin's numbers dwindled thanks to over-fishing, they formulated a plot to destroy humans, and save the ocean.

They practiced sabotaging small fishermen boats at first, to keep off the radar, but their tactics evolved and soon they sought bigger prey. Over the past few decades numerous attacks blamed on terrorists or warring parties were in fact the work of dolphins. The USS Samuel B. Roberts in 1984; dolphins. The USS Cole in 2000; dolphins. The South Korean warship Cheonan 2010; dolphins.

By 2064 their advancements will be so sophisticated that they will be able to manipulate the machinations of all of our nuclear submarines. From there, they will target every major city on earth and wipe them out. Humanity will be brought to a mere handful of it's original population, ensuring the survival of the dolphin species.

Who will be saved?: All members of Green Peace and Save The Dolphins-esque groups will be brought to the ocean and be spared the nuclear holocaust. But the dolphins take no chances with the dangerous humans, and in a final act of brutality they will sink the human boats and put their deadly bladed-beaks to work with practiced efficiency, making chowder out of the floundering hippies.

Dolphins suck!

Cause: Statistics
Date: January 23rd, 2045

Over a long enough time frame, even the most unlikely events have a 100% chance of occurrence. Which is why, in the year 2045, everyone will collectively forget to turn their ovens off and die in the subsequent global fire.
