Poll: Apocalypse... SERIOUSLY?!

[Promenius]

I'm gonna go to a couple of parties, talk to a few hysterical girls and take the "I don't wanna die a virgin"-route.

Will it work? Who knows, but it's worth trying!

If the world ends, I die happy. If it doesn't end, I live on.

WIN/WIN situation FTW!

But seriously though, No, I don't believe the world will end. It's been predicted a thousand times before, and it didn't happen. And even if it WAS gonna happen, nothing we can do about it.

So I'm gonna go with "Moo"

 

[LogicNProportion]

I think about all the idiots and fools that are going to create Hell the night before '2012's' doomsday.

It makes me laugh at first, but then I die a little inside, and a tear reaches my cheek. If there is indeed a doomsday that day, it will be of human error and paranoia.

 

[QuickDEMOL1SHER]

This just proves comedy wins out.

There are 30 more "Moo"s than yes.

 

[Why do I care]

My name is Formless777, I have a picture of a formless spawn of Tsathoggua as my avatar, and I'm suggesting that the Great Old Ones will devour humanity...

I think captain obvious needs a round of applause for that brilliant deduction !


Incidentally, that C'thulhu stuff... it's all true.

...Yeah... you keep on believing that now... crazy bastard.

The people that run around screaming "apocalypse is coming, prepare for the end" generally fit into one of three categories:

-Religious nuts that are convinced that the rapture is coming in their lifetime (because I'm so important that Jesus would have to meet me.)

-Fucknuts that think they have a firm grasp on ironic humor by parroting an overused joke that everybody else tired of shortly after they learned of it. Y'know, like when one of the dumber kids in class smugly makes a used-to-death pop culture reference in class, and everybody but the smart kids and teacher laughs.

-Obnoxious people that want to appear quirky. (i.e. the "cheese crack monkey LOL SO RANDOM" crowd)

2012 is when I'm taking over the world. The Mayan knew they didn't stand a chance against me, so they wiped themselves out long before I get a chance to come to power. So also thought that it's pointless to continue making calendars, because I hate winter, and I'm going to alter Earth's orbit in order to shorten it.
Also, I'm making the northern and southern hemisphere's season the same.

Congratulations, you're one of the few people alive with 'common sense.' Please bare with those without it while you coast through life and try to ignore them.

i love it well done

2012 we're all doomed because all the PS3s and 360s have timebombs in them so they'll stop working, gamers across the planet will flip a shit and riot; killing everyone and their grandmothers.

Some things will happen but world ending? No.
Poles changing polarity, big confusing strange thing but not world ending. Just time to paint the other end of your compass needle.

Higher solar activity, well that happens every 11 years, and just because it's the most powerful one doesn't mean shit. How long have we been observing the suns solar activity? Not long enough to know if there's a thing that happens every 700 years.

Mayan Calendar ended 2012, well they ended so they couldn't exactly continue the damn thing so it'd run out eventually. It's just common sense something ends when the creator dies. ...You know except if there's a major corporation backing it.

And if there's a giant meteor coming toward the planet we're all safe because Bruce Willis is still alive and well. So fuck you meteors, bring it, we got the solution!

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE SOLAR FLARE! Who knows, it might fry someone's cellphone.

Seriously though, this whole "2012-thing" is just a mixture of paranoia and deathwishes. A solar flare might occure but it won't have a doomsday-effect on the world. However, I'm concerned about how the paranoid masses will act before "the end". Hopefully they won't cause our society to collapse.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!


It's fun to say jokingly as an excuse, I find.

"Let's get the 2018 world cup in England!"
"Why? We'll be dead in 2012."

 

[Eekaida]

haha they're probabyly too young to remember the fuss about the millenium - lots of crazy people thought they were gonna die then too!! And yet, here we are.

The mayan calemder just happened to end then becuase everything has to end at some point.

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

People don't want the olympics to go ahead.

Also didn't we inb4 like what... 11 years ago?

 

[Recron]

I actualy had a dream that there was a count down to 2012 all ther people who belived the world was going to end in 2012 were running Around screaming while the sane people were watching TV with a bored look on their faces, when the count down fell to zero absolutley nothing happednd and the stupified look on the peoples face in my dream made me wake up laughing.

 

[KaiRai]

Who the hell were the Mayans? Hardly anybody knew about them till this crap came out.

It's the equivalent of reading in the newspaper "Local paperboy predicts end of the world." It holds no feasible truth to it.

Also, how do we even know it'll end? Maybe there'll just be a big fuck off explosion like Pompeii, and it won't end the world, just wreck an offshore city. That's surely not as bad as the end of civilisation as we know it, is it?

Well, unless you live next to a volcano...

 

[regallmighty]

The world is going to end lots it seems

 

[Nemu]

I went with "Moo" simply because I could.

 

[JakeNubbin]

Actually you have made me see a very interesting point. What if the whole 2012 nonsense actually drives someone to attempt to end the world on 2012, i mean with nanobots and nukes and everything what if some nut job decides that it's destiny that the world ends on 2012 and decided to break into a lab and start the zombie Apocalypse. Or what if that's when terrorists would consider the whole 2012 thing to be like a proclaimed expiration date and nukes the place (PS it only takes 8 or so nukes to end life on earth, if you don't believe me look it up). But if were talking total global crisis for no reason in two years then yeah it's pretty dumb.

 

[Recron]

meh the world ends all the time but we rebuild so fast we dont even notice

give it 2-3 nano seconds tops and everything will be back to normal as if nothing happend

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

Good to see that somebody else is treating this logically. Know what? I'm going to let you into my super-secret 2012 Dome of Safety!
