Well. Its the 21st.

[Doom-Slayer]

So its the 21st here in New Zealand. Seems as though we haven't all died yet as predicted.

Thoughts? Anyone here genuinely surprised?

 

[Keoul]

I want to know which 21st it is. American or Australian since they predicted it in America and they're what 12, 16 hours behind us?

I got my fingers crossed for zombies, at least then we can still EVENTUALLY rebuild society.

 

[JoJo]

It's still only 11.26am 20th December here in the UK, so we've got a while to live yet

 

[mad825]

Just barely hitting the afternoon of the 20th....I guess the Mayans don't take time zones into account.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

Yeah 6:31 AM of the 20th in Canada. We still got a day to go. I wouldn't dismiss the apocolypse until it is atleast the 21st EVERYWHERE, even then you still have wait all day for something to happen.

 

[personion]

No, see, it's not going to happen slowly and gradually; it's going to happen all at once. In approximately 24 hours, the world is going to be destroyed by...

Well, something. I'm not really clear on that. Let's just assume that it will be some sort of combination of global flooding, aliens, zombies, World War 3, and superblackholes. I'm going to spend the apocalypse in an end of the world party. How about you guys?

 

[A Raging Emo]

I always did wonder how this was going to work. Like, did they take time zones into account or... ?

I remember my ex lover telling a long time ago about me how much sex we will have on the days before the 21st. Now all I can picture is her fucking the Italian she left me for. I'll probably spend today cleaning my room.

It can't be the 21st anywhere for at least half an hour. GMT is in the middle, nowhere is more than 12 hours ahead or behind of us, so it can't possibly reach the 21st elsewhere before we reach noon here. Unless you have some equivalent of BST where you add an extra hour on.

It's currently summer in the southern hemisphere, so it would be DST for them, so yes it is past midnight.

Ah, that makes sense. On the other hand, daylight savings is a modern invention (and the gergorian calander isn't, lol). I doubt the apocalypse took it into account.

I don't think they knew what time zones are, so I don't think so. And back when this calendar was created, I don't think there was one consistent time in every time zone like it is now.

Well, by they should have predicted that there would be time zones when they created the calender.

There's nothing worse than an unpunctual apocalypse.

Or maybe the apocalypse is just localized and slowly moving it's way across the globe.
Giving us time to say goodbye to our loved ones, it's a nice doomsday like that.

I'm in the northwest of the US (Washington State to be specific)
and it's currently 4:02 AM on the 20th

 

[Not Matt]

just wait New Zealand. do not take pride in being first. Once the rest of us hits the 21th a darkness will spread across your land. This deep darkness will perish all light and make the citizens of your nation will fall, and enter a new world. and when the darkness has swallowed you. Leaving you land in dark silence. it will come for the rest of us.And then. The sun will rise, you'll get out of bed and it will be the 22th.




i am so, so sorry, i had to get that cheap joke out in the open before i chocked on it. welcome to the never-happening apocalypse New Zealand. have fun pointing and laughing at the people who believe we'll die in Europe and America

 

[Rawne1980]

Still the 20th in the UK.

 

[Doclector]

One hour until go time! Cannot wait.
We're in Australia here.

But there's already mutant monsters stalking your country, such as bird eating spiders. How will you tell?

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Just you wait. As it turns to the 21st here in Britain, I bet we'll hear nothing from our Australasian cousins. They'll have already been burned to nothing in the fires of Hell itself.

Spoiler: Do not open me if you don't want to face the truth

Seriously though, we all knew this was bollocks. It was probably worth the hype though Lots of fun will be had when I get drunk tomorrow evening at my 'end of the world' piss-up with some old friends.

 

[sky14kemea]

Awww come on, OP! Spoilers! D:

I'm not surprised at all, I was just gonna sit around all day in fancy dress like I always do.

Wait.... Nevermind. You guys aren't meant to know that.
