What date are we going to pick after 2012?

[Canid117]

I don't know but what I do know is that the idiots who believe it will be just as wrong as the idiots who believe in 2012 are now.

 

[ameemo]

does anyone actually believe the world will end in 2012?

Like, seriously, after December 21st 2012, when would the next doomsday will be?

This thread is not whether 2012 is real or not, I really don't give a shit if people think a planet out of fucking nowhere is going to kill us all because Mayans got tired of making more days for a calendar they wouldn't even use.

I say February 20th 2020, it has patterns and everyone knows people are afraid of meaningless coincidences.

If not, December 22nd 2012, because Mayans are trolls.

2013 just like we have every consecutive years.

Millenniums are always the big ones that get people freaked out, but I'm sure dozens of other will pop up between now and 3000.

I'm sure everyone is already burning their PCs because of the incoming Y3K. Just to be on the safe side, y'know.

More worried about Skynet to be quite honest.

Meh, if the end of the world got to do with computers I'm more worried about Games for Windows Live... Now that shit is really scary.

Hard to say, doomsday keeps popping up all the time. The newest one about increased activity on the sun actually sounds probable since there actually was some increased activity September of last year. I am guessing that it will be a thing in maybe 4 years. So maybe 2016, it's not easy to predict when a doomsday theory will pop up... Easier to predict the outcome of the doomsday theory. I predict the world will not end in 2016.

History Channel had something about Presidents who were either Masons or, Prophets. Anyway, the next big doomsday year is going to be 2060 and I believe we can blame Jefferson on that one. We've got a much nicer break than we did after Y2K.

 

[A Raging Emo]

December 21st, 2012 WILL be the doomsday. But not for reasons you might expect.

Y'see, so many people believe it, that there will probably end being more than one shit-disturber going around looting places. If that happens, it might cause more and more looting, until we reach a state of chaos. After that, it becomes survival of the fittest, resulting in an apocalyptic scenario.

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

I agree; we all know how stupid the general populace is - I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.

 

[kane.malakos]

I'm going to go with 2013. I'm sure there will be people claiming we just misinterpreted the calendar and 2013 is the real date.

 

[ejb626]

I'm actually thinking people will twist the superstition surrounding the number 13 into some bullshit doomsday theory for 2013.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

i'm figuring sometime in 2020. With luck everyone will forego The next couple of decades for the astroid thats supposed to hit earth in 2068 i believe.

2036, actually.

2038, actually [http://xkcd.com/607/]

 

[Wayneguard]

What do you mean "after 2012"... that's the end of it all O_O

 

[Veylon]

Probably the next "big" one will be 2033, because that's 2000 years after the crucifixion. But that leaves the whole 2020's without a doomsday. I'm sure some Biblical mathematicians can conjure up dates with number magic like May 21, but they're not clear cut obvious like 2000 or the Mayan rollover in 2012. Then we've got Newton's prediction of 2060, but that won't be fashionable for at least another forty years.
