Weren’t there some people worried about the end of the world with the most recent solar eclipse?
Sounds reasonable. If the sun gets stuck behind the moon there we’d be toast because we need light to see stuff and where we’re driving.
We might need light for a few other things, too. :)
Like finding the car keys in the first place!
You’re right. How are we gonna ever beat Boktai without the sun?
I didn’t see it, so I think I would be fine.
Jesus. You can’t even see a solar eclipse everywhere when it does happen. Travel really does broaden the mind, I suppose.
Interestingly, there are actually weren’t any such people. AFAIK
There was at least one lady who thought it was the rapture.
I wish they were right because it would be awesome if all religious fundies were taken somewhere else. Too bad they often aren’t good people and many, if not most, would end up being left behind. Imagine the tantrums when they realize they’ve missed the rapture. I bet we’d see a rise in Satanism that wasn’t just a front to challenge Christian bias in religious rights but instead a rebellion against a god that spurned them. And then I wonder if they’d be surprised that atheists still want nothing to do with them.
I was in the path of totality. Which was amazing, but there were a LOT of people crowing about “something” happening during/after the Eclipse.
Was it the occultation ceremony? Please, not the occultation ceremony.
No, it was usually the rapture.
well *gestures at everything* isn’t it just kind of common knowledge now?
Well I did notice it’s been hotter lately
At least I don’t have to clean my windscreen every time I go for a drive!
Guys! Guys! I just figured it out! The last couple years, we’ve been living in a Monthy Python sketch! Now it all makes sense!
A WIIIIITTCH!!
May we burn her? By making our habitat unlivable for us by putting soooo many green houses gases into the atmosphere!
So hot right now.
Get out of the kiln.
It’s been colder here, check mate atheists!
Cause it ended in 2012, remember?
Remember? Before the fucking fever dream reality we entered?
We need to find in ourselves the permeability to pass through a great invisible filter that separates the past and the future of humanity. We are collectively at the kind of moment that only happens once for a species.
Before the flattening. Ah, what a wonderful time that was.
If by “a while” you mean 1 month, then sure. There were tons of conspiracy theorists saying that the world was going to end on April 8th due to the solar eclipse.
They were going to fire up the LHC to open a dimension, which can only happen when the moon is casting a shadow 6000 km away. Then aliens… or something.
Kinda like The Onion, such things are in a tough spot.
Too obvious now.
Clearly this means it’s already ended. An you sure you’re not in an afterlife right now?
Welcome to hell
Pretty much feels like it.
Shit got real fucked up after Harold camping, so I’m not so sure

It already happened, we are living in the end
The religious groups still do, just less loudly.
Religious fanatics more like it. I remember when some guy in Russia declared himself Jesus and started a cult
It’s not a shocking attention grabber anymore. Most people are well aware that the world is in a bad spot. Some idiots still argue about why, but most of us know why. We’re in the end times. It’s not biblical and no great battle will be taking place between good and evil. It’s happening slowly, and increasingly hotter. The end is no longer nigh, it’s here. I used to hope that we’d be better, and put in my part of the work. Now I still try, but I no longer have hope for humanity as a whole.
So how long until the end is over? If the end is now, when does it seem like the actual end?
That’s because we’re now living it.
We are living it… You don’t predict what is happening already… :)
Do you mean correctly? If not, there have been several predictions this month.
There was a lot of talk relating the eclipse and Israel to the end times, and then last week there was this:
OP: “No one has predicted the end of the world in a while” Lemmy: “It’s the end times, the end times have come!”
Prediction? Bro, we’re chronicling
We’re big on subscription services now, can’t sell subscriptions if the world is going to end.
