The apocalypse is coming in October! Three times!!

[Midnight Crossroads]

I find this comic relevant;

OT: As for why humans are fascinated with the apocalypse, I would say it's just a desire to know things. Most people are afraid of death because it sneaks up on them without them realizing. If we set a date to our deaths, we become much more calmed and accepting to them.

There may be some arrogance at play. People really want to be important, even if it's as morbid as being the last humans. Our disasters are the worst and most important in all of history. The world will cease to exist once we're gone. That sort of bullshit.

They need to put Harold Camping in the home. When fuck-all happens he's gonna say something along the lines of "Oh it was a test of faith, derp derp" and act like he wasn't wrong at all.

Religion's all well and good until people:
A- Start fighting and killing each other over it
B- Pull the wool over their eyes to ignore anything that could disprove ONE PART of their beliefs.

28th?! That's my birthday. My 18th, this year, to be precise.

Man, I don't want to die on my 18th birthday. I was going to buy X-Men Destiny with the money I received- I was even prepared to be wholly disappointed. Now, it's all gone to hell.

EDIT: But, my god, I can't wait until we actually get past 2012. Just imagine- the chosen day arrives, the many hundreds who truly Believe amass in the streets... Then day fades to night, and again to light of dawn, in silence.

Or, more likely, riots happen the entire preceding month, and some people actually die. That's the power of fear.

People have been predicting the end of the world ever since the beginning of the world. Thus far, none have been right .

 

[Groxnax]

Bah, I don't believe in this crap, if it happens, it happens.

But when I wake up the day after the supposed Doomsday to see nothing happened I like to laught at the crazy man who predicted our doom.

 

[Esotera]

I thought pole reversal was a gradual process that is already occurring, and will come to its grand finale in a few thousand years?

But that guy seems legit enough. Better start the looting.

 

[Tiger Sora]

I refuse to accept that the world ends before 11/11/11.

Ohh so true. Rangnarok can't happen while this isn't out.

 

[Rednog]

Psh the only apocalypse this year is going to be me running around in Saints Row 3 using the Apocofists and making people explode into hilarious pools of blood and guts.

 

[Irridium]

I always laugh when people think the Mayans really predicted the end of the world, because they never seem to know HOW the Mayans predicted the world to end. The Mayans predicted that the world will be engulfed whole by a giant feathered snake-dragon named Quetzalcoatl.

So yeah. I'm pretty confident that they're wrong.

As for everyone else, well we have one guy who was wrong like four times already, and pretty much just crazy people.

 

[Athol]

Yeah, thats about all I have to say...

 

[IamQ]

This isn't all of them. Apparently we were supposed to die by a meteor the 26th of September as well.

Conspiracy theories are fun, no?

 

[Ranooth]

But October 11th is my birthday! I don't want existence ending on my 21st :/

 

[Korten12]

Guess I shall watch apocalypse movies each of those days. XD

Yeah, the Mayans haven't predicted anything, the current grand cycle of the calender runs outs in 2012, that's all.

Agreed.

I couldn't help but to laugh at the fools who left their jobs and families to promote the end of the world on a road tour.

I feel really bad for the families of those assholes though.

 

[Gunner 51]

I refuse to accept that the world ends before 11/11/11.

Ha ha ha, I know what you're waitin' for, fellow Skyrim watcher!
Personally, I don't think the world is going to end in October. But the only thing I'll look foward to this month is watching for the excuses when they all end up wrong.

 

[StormShaun]

Oh were talking about the predictions...

I thought we were talking about Rage, Dark Souls and whatever else comes out in October. (Its lucky how most of the games in Oct involve dying a whole load.)

OT: I doubt that we will die anyway, it sounds way to stupid to believe in.

 

[Bluntman1138]

The ONLY doomsday theory that is even half way credible is Apophis. When Neil De Grasse Tyson says he fears Apophis, we should ALL FEAR Apophis.

 

[Kinkaido]

I laugh at the people who believe in the Mayan apocalypse. "The Mayans predicted the end of the world!" How do you know that? "That's when their calendar ends!" My calender ends on December 31st every year. Nothing bad has happened so far. "But they were really good at Astronomy!" We're even better. Seriously, there is no way that the Mayans would have predicted any scientific apocalypse that we can't.

As for Camping, just give up, man! You were wrong in the 90's, you were wrong in May, you're going to be wrong in October. The more you push this, the more people will just laugh at you.

Wait, what is up with the October 28th one?
We are birthed through the Galactic Center, which cares for us using "Love Waves"? What were they smoking? Can I have some?

Luckily none of these seem to be credible at all, so I can continue to laugh at them when their days come and go without anything of note happening.

 

[Zenn3k]

I really wish it would end...no, seriously.
