Will the World End in 2012?

How 'bout "I have no fucking idea, but am pretty sure the chances are no better for 2012 than for any random future year."

VOTE YES ON PROP 2012

(and cross yer fingers.)

If the Mayans were so smart, they'd still be around ruling the Western world.

What's Going To Happen in 2012?

^^^ UHF was funny when I was 14. I saw it about a year ago on a Saturday afternoon, and it didn't quite hold up.

oops.

How will this affect my stock portfolio?

Poll Closing Date: Saturday, December 31, 2011 6:00 PM

Technically this should be December 21, 2012

i'm not voting, but i hope yes.
unless i win the lottery, then no.

There's going to be an awful lot of bad hangovers on December 22

heads up, it let me vote again. is there some time limit to it storing your vote cast ?

anyway. 2012 will be significant in the death of analogue TV in UK. RIP my friend.

great, could someone fix that?

Wow, it even destroyed your link!

If the Mayans were so smart, they'd still be around ruling the Western world.

What's the point of ruling the world if you know it's just going to end soon anyway?

Except for the face that quake/tsunami happened on 3/11/11 local Japan time, this is some pretty airtight math. I'M CONVINCED. ha

face=fact

Haha, my initial reaction to the thread title was also "here's hopin'"

i've been counting down since reading Terrence McKenna in the mid-90s. it's not that the world will end but the world As We Know It will end, total paradigm shift, eschaton's be immanentizin

Those children are so happy as the world burns at their feet!

i've always figured that whenever anyone dies, the whole world ends. like, no one ever dies of age or disease or accident. instead, each life ends in the annihilation of all life in the world, perhaps the universe. so the apocalypse is no big deal, really. happens every day.

Some of these people are spending all their money because there won't be a May 22nd:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_end_times_prediction

We should listen to the guy in the npr link as he's an actuary, clearly knows what he's talking about.

I want to know how the "world" is gonna "end" exactly. Whole planet splodes? We all become zombies? Internet becomes sentient?

The end is clearly going to follow the date line and respect the time zones.

People who quit their jobs, alienate their families, and spend all of their money waiting for the end of the world get exactly what they deserve. Feel bad for that one idiot couple's kids, though.

No, but it will become a bit more difficult for suburbanites.

The true Christian believers — he hopes he's one of them — will be "raptured": They'll fly upward to heaven. And for the rest?

"It's just the horror of horror stories," he says, "and on top of all that, there's no more salvation at that point. And then the Bible says it will be 153 days later that the entire universe and planet Earth will be destroyed forever."

Wow, they must really thing god is a complete cunt.

well, tbf, history's kinda with them on that one

Hope they have the decency to fill their pockets with rocks and wade into a river on the 22nd.

I do wonder how people like this must feel when this stuff doesnt end up happening. Are they disappointed? Embarrased? In denial?

the world ended... IN MY MIND

yes,
no,
kinda impossible to be anything else really

man, forks post reminds me of an ex or two tbh ;_;

Oh shit, my jury duty was postponed until the 23rd! There went my last chance to be on a jury.

I looked at some survivalist/apocalypse-is-nigh usenet stuff in January 2001 or maybe it was early blogs I don't remember, people were coming in to go DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE A BUNCH OF DUMBASSES NOW and there was something sad & moving about how these guys just weren't about to say "yeah I feel a little dumb." They were very, look, I was ready in case something had happened, that's what matters, I feel proud that I was prepared to provide for myself & my family etc etc etc

that will be these dudes' take when nothing goes down

maybe you'll be needed for judgement day, which would be p sweet tbf

isn't that a section in Steppenwolf iirc? man vs cars

he/his followers took it viral w/ billboards everywhere, right? if it was only on the radio nobody would care

it's the the weekly Meme, all those people buying smartphones need shit to tweet and the Rapture fits right into the global weirding going on. plus everyone knows that the world's supposed to end in 2012 so it's an easy zing

I'm waiting for the first person on my friend's list to talk about how people should respect "others beliefs".

OK, so I was about $60m out there...

how will people know if the Rapture happened, does heaven have a newsletter

Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercuries and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars

if i'm raptured tomorrow plz post i miss you 4 me homies ;_;

if I see Christopher Walken walking around tomorrow I'm shooting that motherbitch square between the eyes, no questions asked...

Dominique Strauss-Kahn totally miscalculated and misunderstood this whole rapeture thing, didn't he?

I'm sort of mystified as to why he has gotten so much attention in the first place

Has anyone registered www.Lookatitthisfuckingchristian.com yet?

One year off it's the ultimate in doomsday kitsch .

see you all in the afterlife i guess

no need to panic, it's just like when only the sandbox was available

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

355 to go

yeah I fucked up the end of the poll should've been 20/12/2012 which is actually my birthday! I'm throwing an end of the world party this year.

I beg to differ. The chosen end date guaranteed the poll's results would be available when they were needed.

I'm pretty sure if the world was going to end tomorrow, I wouldn't go crazy or party or anything, I'd just lay down and get the nicest sleep of my life.

everything about that story is fucked up but

The unidentified man, who is currently in his 50s, had tried to pry a dead mouse from a stray cat's mouth on June 2 when the cat attacked him.

4 days left... so, bump?

I hope I get a flight refund if the world ends before I take off. Wouldn't be very sporting otherwise now would it?

are there any good resources chronicling intra-mayan/believer preparation/behaviour for all of this? it's so interesting i think but i haven't been following it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_mckenna#Novelty_theory

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timewave_zero#Timewave_zero_and_the_I_Ching

It was originally calculated to be November and then revised to match up w the Mayan calendar. Looking up Terrence McKenna on youtube will get you plenty of silly lectures superimposed with 90s psychedelic screensavers and barely audible beneath techo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm

Pretty much all the doomsday theories are your standard end-of-the-world stuff given credence by being arbitrarily connected to the Mayan thing.

You could make a killing selling psychedelic mushrooms this week fwiw

ty adam! it's like the internet rabbit-hole that will occupy my holidays is all mapped out

like, fingers crossed

'2 – No one really knows how the ancient Mayans got such accurate information that they could construct such a calendar without the modern observational equipment we have today. But we Christians mostly believe it had to be some kind of satanic or demonic influence."

What would the Rapture feel/look like?
Is it like a flashlight, cameras that flash at your eyes without notice?
And feel our Heart make a "Vibrate Trumpet" like a cell phone?

My guess - We'll hear a trumpet and an irresistable call to "come on up" and whoosh we are excellerating heavenward. We will know exactly what is happening. It will seem like the most natural thing (as in not shocking that it is happening) thing. I suspect your thought will be, "I'm going home!"

I like "excellerating".

I'm flying to Australia on Friday. See you on the other side!

OpenOffice Calc-ing

Yeah it would probably be just like a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
