Solar Bomb pah! This is how the world will really end!

Damn I really need to stop posting this vid on this site, it's gonna get old

So... 2012 will see the tensions rising between world powers, followed by global nuclear war. Once the nuclear fallout settles, a few survivors will emerge from underground bunkers only to be confronted with zombies. Elvis Presley, who is revealed to have faked his death, will return as mankind's last hope. However, just as the war appears won, two asteroids and a small planet called Nibiru crash into the Earth. Oh, right, and a Solar bomb, too, just to cover all the bases.

Someone get Micheal Bay on the line!

 

[Something Amyss]

Lol.

We are hit by those every day of every week of every year. It does nothing.

People that believe this 2012 crap need to go check the calendar in their kitchen - mine ends this year! Guess we will die soon.

Silly girl. It's not MAYAN, is it?

>.>

My word, do you know what this means?!?!?! We must EXTINGUISH the Sun! Quickly! Before our computers break!!!

Okay, I totally and legitimately LOLed at that. I think I woke my neighbours.

You know what I love about the Escapist, the fact that you guys are 500x more intelligent than any forum I have ever been to.

I'm kinda gullible when it comes to end of the world scenarios. I kid you not, as I read that report, my heart started thumping as they said the worst. Then I start to read your posts and you guys REALLY calmed me down.

I love you guys.

I would say I'm the same, end of the world scenarios scare me, but I like to think my brain is always in two sides on them, one automactilly dimissing it as false while the other automactilly believes every one of them.

 

[spartan773]

ugh... enough of this goddamn 2012 bullshit.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

So... it'll knock out everything in the army base I'll be serving in around 2012? Brilliant!

 

[Vrex360]

Great, now I'm paranoid.

Although truth be told I still think that one sensationalist article is hardly proof of anything, that and some of the posts here (i.e infrastructure would be safe guarded and we've had this happen before) do a lot to calm me down. Besides, if NASA didn't certify it then I'm not buying it.

I just hope this doesn't happen, or if it does I hope it isn't that intense. I seriously don't know how well I would survive in the grim technology-less post apocalyptic future.

Remember that woman in Spain who claimed ownership of the sun last month? If anything happens, we'll all sue her for damage of our electronics and infrastructure.

Good Thinking
But what happens if she says that we've been pirating the sun?

 

[The_ModeRazor]

So it goes.
But hey, a little rioting never hurt anyone.

 

[C95J]

yay, another load of 2012 bollocks in my opinion, guess this is just one more thing I have to ignore...

 

[SovietX]

Maybe if we just get a really big mirror...

 

[ReaperzXIII]

I read solar bomb and thought that they had created a solar powered bomb or something, now I'm disappointed.

Will the solar storm at least turn people into zombies? Well then again if the internet is shut down I'm sure there will be zombies or at least riots on the streets as otakus and shut ins alike do a united Nerd Rage towards the sun

 

[FightThePower]

It won't end you fool.

 

[Jonluw]

The sun is going to explode! There is only one thing to do: Beat it to it!
[HEADING=3]Nuke the sun![/HEADING]
We won't let it have the satisfaction of bringing us down.

Or, I guess, it will be just as serious as Y2K. I'm going with that one.

Read it for yourself. Facts point to a global break down of ALL electronics due to the sun having a repeat Solar Storm but this time, WORSE.
All this because the sun will be entering its phase known as Solar Cycle 24


So, think 2012 really is going to be the end? Or is this really what everyone has been crying over?

Then again, without technology, do we really know how to survive?

ima let you finnish, but y2k was the best death of all electronics of all time

 

[Daniel Laeben-Rosen]

Frankly I'm not worried. On a global scale, most important structures are shielded against things like sun, EMP... Nukes...
At the most I think some sections of the phone-networks and so on might go down for a day or two until they fix it. Possibly some blackouts that are eventually fixed in due order.

And if worst of worst comes to pass, all the world's nukes go off and what-not... Well then we're dead, aren't we so what do we care then?

 

[Diligent]

Well, I'm actually not gonna read the article because anything related to 2012 being the end is so full of sheer stupidity that it makes my blood boil.
But I will refer you to this article as a reminder of how we were acting a decade ago:

I fear we're wired to repeat this pattern of irrational doomsaying behaviour for as long as we exist.

Isn't this the plot to Assassin's Creed?

coronal mass ejections

This sounds incredibly dirty.

Sun, use Solar Beam!
It's super effective!
Computer fainted!
