Title: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ChaosVortex on 11 March 2009, 18:03:34 Part One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KGg0BWFb-4)
Part Two (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_TYkN29OZ4&feature=related) Part Three (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7wc77WX1h8&feature=related) Part Four (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD5_1xA6c8o&feature=related) Part Five (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T05V6sLxlEk&feature=related) The sixth part isn't available, but this is definitely something to think about. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Majikn on 11 March 2009, 18:31:43 Even if something massive does happen in that year, I don't think it will be the end. At worst there will be survivors and nature will begin anew.
Well, provided some of the freakier theories don't happen. I think I recall reading something about the alignment of planets causing something really messed up to happen involving gravity and the Earth will plunge into the sun or something. And I'm not going to say for sure that I'm not afraid of death, but I think I know enough to realize that it's no skin off my ass at this point. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ChaosVortex on 11 March 2009, 19:02:43 There's a version of this on DVD, that adds to the History Channel's version, but has more of a biblical view on it. They say that the earth will never end, since there's a verse that says, "A generation goes and a generation comes, But the earth remains forever. - Ecclesiastes 1:4"
Instead, they say that 2012 is probable date for the rapture and war, and "the world as we know it will end 7 years later". The seven-year period is supposed to be tribulation. They also theorized that although there will be seven years of tribulation, the hours in a normal day would shorten. But both videos apply interesting articles and things about the specific date: December 21st, 2012. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: preventerWIND on 11 March 2009, 19:34:55 OOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDD
I've been on this topic since forever, nothing catastrophic will happen, maybe some wacky weather and such. But it surely won't be the apocalypse. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Majikn on 11 March 2009, 19:37:06 I hate it when people say old. When I'm making a topic about something I'm making a topic to TALK about it. I'm not presenting it as news. No one else posted it about it when it happened, why don't people get that?
Well, at least in this case this has been mentioned several times, but I suppose the same conversations do come up and it's a normal thing. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ChaosVortex on 11 March 2009, 19:48:34 OOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDD More than 2,000 years old to be more precise. Thanks. But this information aired on the History Channel around two years ago. Regardless if you've heard it or not, it doesn't change the fact that 2012 is coming, and there seems to be a lot going on with that date. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Johncarllos on 11 March 2009, 19:55:37 It's like Y2K all over again.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: preventerWIND on 11 March 2009, 19:55:55 There are tons of theories, even ones with aliens, aliens! Though the most believable of the bunch are the economic and environmental changes, there's supposed to be some solar flares around the time, added on to the ever worsening climate screw-ups we're already seeing. I take back saying "nothing will be catastrophic" because if worse comes to worse, a few million people could die from all this. I don't think this is religious or anything, though if it just so happens to be religious or enlightening or something, it's cool that we're able to see it happen. Those suckers from 200 years ago don't know what they'll be missing!~
I hate it when people say old. Old. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Mikero on 11 March 2009, 21:27:06 Judgment Day is in 2014.
Unless we change the future again. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: preventerWIND on 11 March 2009, 22:18:34 Eh, when it comes around we'll prevent it..
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Edgecrusher on 12 March 2009, 00:07:00 Also, the sky is falling.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: preventerWIND on 12 March 2009, 01:07:38 That's my department. Sorry people, sorry! I'll get riiiiiiiiight on it..
later.. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Snare on 12 March 2009, 01:09:35 I say we sue the bastards!
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 12 March 2009, 12:51:18 Is this that Mayan calendar thing?
The one transcribed and forged by Christian monks trying to make up for burning the entirety of Mayan history and works? Yeah, sure, that sounds like it's all legit. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ChaosVortex on 12 March 2009, 15:56:17 Do you know where you got that from? I just Google'd it and found nothing.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 12 March 2009, 17:16:58 That specific bit I got from watching a corny YouTube video by someone claiming to be Mayan. Obviously I have no idea if it's true, but believing this to be the end of the world is an even larger leap of faith.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: NovaMan XP on 13 March 2009, 18:58:23 If I remember right, the Mayan calendar ends on December 12, 2012 (12/12/12)... so people believe the world will end on that date. A little strange to believe, but I've seen people believe dumber things.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Johncarllos on 13 March 2009, 19:32:52 December 22nd I thought....
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 March 2009, 04:13:36 I'm actually very interested in this subject, so if anyone finds anything that can prove if anything in this topic is accurate or not, I'd like to know.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: preventerWIND on 14 March 2009, 04:21:08 Look up 2012 on youtube along with Sumerian, Nephelim or Nibiru. It'll get into these cool theories that talk about ancient bird-man gods from a tenth planet looking for gold or some crazy crack like that..
It sounds ridiculous, but when they look back at ancient writings in stone tablets, it gets pretty convincing. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 14 March 2009, 13:08:27 I can't believe you people actually think any of this could possibly be real.
There's ALWAYS some new end of the world prophecy out there; we're still here. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Edgecrusher on 14 March 2009, 16:26:14 I'll start paying attention when there's actually some scientific merit to the claim, as opposed to religious nuts claiming the end of days, or some asshat choosing some arbitrary year.
I suspect that future generations will be making fun of us for constantly thinking the world was going to end. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ASR on 14 March 2009, 16:30:58 Y2K almost had some sort of scientific merit to it, I guess.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 14 March 2009, 19:37:59 No, it didn't.
As a programmer I know this pretty well. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ASR on 14 March 2009, 19:40:36 I meant that even if it wasn't REALLY accurate, it was at least moderately believable to (and believed by) a large portion of our society.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Fatso on 14 March 2009, 20:03:10 Only because a large portion of our society were and still are 99% computer-illiterate.
EDIT: Which is not to say that I am not still 90-95% computer-illiterate, but that crap didn't even phaze me when I was 9 Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 14 March 2009, 20:11:19 What Fatso means to say is that this large portion of our society is composed primarily of total morons.
The premise wasn't even halfway logical; anything important is backed up physically anyway. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ASR on 14 March 2009, 20:14:06 I'm just saying that I don't think anyone REALLY believes in this 2012 nonsense, yet there undeniably WERE people stocking up on food and hiding in shelters for Y2K.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Johncarllos on 14 March 2009, 20:17:47 What Fatso means to say is that this large portion of our society is composed primarily of total morons. Well, I remember the main concern being planes in the air, if there was even a short glitch in the system caused by Y2K it could cause crashes and/or malfunctions. I didn't really care at 10. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 14 March 2009, 20:20:42 The glitch would be the clocks showing the wrong date.
That has nothing to do with flight controllers and aid systems; especially since every system is quadruple redundant and there's usually a manual mode. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 March 2009, 00:41:53 Y2K almost had some sort of scientific merit to it, I guess. I'm only interested in this date because it seems pretty reasonable and believable to me. Y2K was a load of crap fed through a straw. What scientific merit? Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ASR on 15 March 2009, 00:57:09 Not scientific merit - some SORT of it. As in, it sounded legit enough to anyone who didn't really know anything about computers.
All this 2012 Mayan nonsense makes absolutely no more sense than ghosts and vampires. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Johncarllos on 15 March 2009, 02:20:22 You mean... Edward Cullen isn't real?
... ... :'( Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Mikero on 15 March 2009, 06:16:54 The world ended three years ago.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 15 March 2009, 12:12:59 ... so that's why I can't find a job...
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: White Shadow on 16 March 2009, 16:28:30 According to Shadowrun lore, it's 2011 and it's gonna be awesome.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Chron on 16 March 2009, 16:59:22 I call hacker!
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Mikero on 20 March 2009, 02:05:12 Actually guys, I lied.
We've only got four minutes to save the world. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Fatso on 20 March 2009, 03:14:59 But you made the post at 9:05, clearly we have 53 minutes to save the world, unless it's a two-parter.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Mikero on 20 March 2009, 13:07:14 Who says the world wasn't saved by 9:09, dillhole?!
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ASR on 20 March 2009, 13:32:36 In fact, it was saved at 9:06.
We're just that good. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: preventerWIND on 20 March 2009, 21:41:39 Anybody know which time zone that's in? I still need some time to do my hair before we prevent that #####.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Mikero on 22 March 2009, 17:31:04 I'm kind of surprised no one's said "I did it 35 minutes ago" yet.
Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ASR on 22 March 2009, 17:35:13 I'M NOT SOME COMIC BOOK VILLAIN
(Groan.) Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: preventerWIND on 22 March 2009, 20:29:58 I'm kind of surprised no one's said "I did it 35 minutes ago" yet. I already did it 2 days ago, when we first started talking about it. ALL IN A DAYS PREVENTING. Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: Mikero on 24 March 2009, 02:48:56 What.

Title: Re: Apocalypse less than five years away? Post by: ASR on 26 March 2009, 22:00:18 That was on last month randomly at like 2AM and I sat through four episodes just because it was on.
