Well, it's been claimed by the conspiracy theorists again!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... Earth.html

According to the article, Nibiru or 'Planet X' was supposed to collide with Earth on September 23. It drew too much attention that NASA refuted the claim. Now, the CTs (conspiracy theorists) shifted the date to November 19. The series of earthquakes will be our doom, according to them.

What do you guys think?

As for my opinion, no... just no. This kind of thing has been happening for years, I believe. We will die on *2012, 2013, 2014... it goes on. But hey, if it happens, why worry? If the destruction is on a planetary scale, I sure as heck will not feel anything from it. Besides, if Planet X exists, surely we might have feel extra gravitational anomalies throughout the planet (which we have none of so far); all of the tidal waves are still a result of the Moon, not some planet lurking about.

EDIT: There was actually also a theory where we were supposed to breakdown (or our electronics are going to go crazy) on Y2K (2000), ~~but again, didn't happen,~~ no social breakdown... What I am saying is, end-of-the-worlds are too common. I was only scared about 2012 because I watched the movie when it came out.

MORE EDIT: Well, Y2K happened, but it went under control rather well; nothing too catastrophic.

In a slightly pessimistic tone, if the end of the world is upon us, it sure as heck will be from us. I mean, have you seen Mad Max?

In short, no, I doubt that it will happen. To be extra sure, I will ask my friend from Australia later in the few hours.

*sigh* Again? I thought the world ended on Tuesday!

Seriously though, I don't expect anything to happen. Just some nuts reusing stuff said in 2012.

Well, I wish you all good luck in the upcoming Nibiru-Earth collision

Riiiight, because we can't see or detect a giant fucking rock heading towards us. Wouldn't be surprised if these same people are part of the "space isn't real" crowd.

Or Nibiru is trolling the conspiracy nuts by postponing the collision with Earth every time they announce a date.

So wait, this isn't Hell?

Goddamit.

Can we just get it over and done with? I need a real date for my end of the world party, plus the Universe would probably be better off in the long run

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 2:47 pm**

The world is ending again?

OH THE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMANITY!

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 2:47 pm**

At this point, I kind of want it to just get it over with already.

Well, if it didn't happen on the first, second, and third times, then surely it would happen on the fifth, sixth, and seventh times!

What a bunch of idiotic nonsense.

(Ironically, we're debating over whether or not this is a real apocalypse when an NS apocalypse is happening soon.)

It's already 19 September. I'm messaging from Afterlife. Yeah right now I'm chilling with Dante Alighieri.

You know they said "Third time's the charm"?

Well, here, "n-th time is the charm", where n = Integer.

It's 5.52 AM here now! Well, you know, like I said, let me ask my friend from Australia in a few hours, see what's up.

I probably could start a decent little cottage promoter gig hosting end of the world pop up parties every time a new end Times is announced.

Well, Giant Meteor was my preferred canidate in the 2016 election. So I guess me petitions for a recount were finally listened too.

While not a perfect list, I think this link is a very good resource for a lower bar of the number of doomsdays we have had.

Wikipedia also has a decent list, though it's significantly less snarky.

Australian here. Everything is upside down as usual

Actually, I know that Nibiru will collide with Earth on December 31, 99999 CE. The Earth should be safe for another 97,980 years or so.

Seriously, why!? That doesn't really make sense. If we knew about it, we'd clearly see it. Hell, if we find Planet 9, we should just call it Nibiru, just to troll those conspiracy nutters.

But what about allegations of him groping that underage comet?

The problem with all these End Times predictions is they have a date. The real professional doomsayers just say 'in our lifetime'. So the only time they're wrong is when they're dead.

Not if those doomsayers mean everyone. As long as there is at least one person born in 2017 when I announce the world will end in our lifetimes, if she lives to 2517 and the world ends, the world technically ended in our lifetimes.

We're the only way the Universe can get a look at itself and go "daaaayyyyum"

As far as we know, we're the only universe ego-boosters.

Well, eleventh time lucky, or unlucky I suppose. When this doesn't happen the CTs will just move it again, or possibly make it a new flavour of apocalypse.

Yay, it's the end of the world (again...)
