Well, the eclipse came and went, and the world didn't end. What did we do wrong?
How can we secure a solar eclipse induced apocalypse next time? More virgin sacrifices? Less? Virgins are quite abundant these days. We could go either way...
Elsewhere, there was a giant hurricane. Demons now roam the world, more than used to at least, but they mostly appear as more unfavorable people. If you run into a big dude with a chunk of iron much too large to be a sword, massive, thick, heavy and far too rough, more a chunk of iron really, he's not a bad dude, just don't do anything to his girl.
What happens to the people who actually believed this? Imagine someone quitting their job because "the world is ending on Monday." They tell all their friends and family goodbye. They stop paying bills. Then Monday rolls around and....they're still here. Now what? Do they go beg for their job back? How do they face their friends and family again? It sounds so embarrassing.
They'll move on to the next conspiracy not having learned a bit from their stupid decisions.... And the society they hate will continue to provide for them
I just imagine someone trying to get their job back and their former boss laughing in their face. Maybe this is how some people become homeless (because I presume they are mentally unstable to begin with).
According to my friend, it happened, the world ended. Now you may be wondering how I could even have this chat with him if the world ended. Not to worry, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation...
I am not me, and he went into a different universe when the previous world had collapsed. Apparently I wasn't so lucky, nor any of the other 8.1 Billion souls. Only he got to come here, because his original self was already dead. How I wouldn't have remembered him dying and doing a Jesus, is beyond me...
This all leads me to the conclusion that my friend stopped taking his meds and has been binging rick and morty again.
There was a great photo of a guy who bought into the Mayan calendar bullshit in 2012 (I think?). He'd given away or sold his home and all his stuff. In the photo, he was checking his watch while young people next to him were laughing. I imagine his life was ruined.
But some cults just keep pushing the date back. See Millerites in USA:
The people that do that dont typically have jobs nor pay their own bills since they livein an environment that allows them enough free time to absorb and spread such conspiratorial material
They're so ignorant that they thought that the eclipse was global and believed that it was the beginning of the biblical 3 days of total darkness that signaled the end of the world. They are so fucking horny for the end of the world and their presumed admission to heaven that they see the end everywhere and are actively trying to bring it about. That's why they want to start a race war, and a war with Russia, and... they're trying to CAUSE the end of the world so that they can go to heaven.
That any of those people believe that they are Christians when they don't follow the letter and spirit of the teachings of Jesus Christ is utterly baffling.
Wait… I know you’re referring to Keira Knightly, but wasn’t she in love with his son?
I was totally wrong earlier, apocalypse is a style of rhythmic Caribbean music from Trinidad and Tobago. Maybe OP was hoping for some soulful apocalyptic music during the eclispe.
(okay I know this is a joke thread and I shouldn't take any of it seriously but the fact you didn't pick up on "apostrophy" is bugging the hell out of me)
The antipode of America is the Indian ocean. Do you live in the Kergulean Islands? That's the only land that is 180 degrees from somewhere in America.
If you want to tell me where you are specifically, I can tell you the exact antipode... but it's often just somewhere in the ocean... lots of water here.
It says your antipodal point is in the ocean, sort of between the south and south pacific ocean. Nearest landmass is Chatham Islands, New Zealand... although it seems like quite the swim.
Antipode coordinates: -45.814, -164.022
Antipode finder. It's actually kind of fun to play around with, you realize how much darn ocean there is haha.
