Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

How did this thread manage to somehow get derailed by both MLP:FiM bullshit and eugenics?

God dammit, Internet.


Back to the topic: Echoing a bit of what MrWiggles said, not even the Mayans predicted a 2012 end of the world. It's just one of those memetic tumors that people take as quasi-legitimate just because it managed to accrue enough steam and popularity, which... causes it to become more popular.

Dsarker supplied the MLP, Hitty supplied the bullshit and I supplied the Eugenics :P

And it was on topic, because that is a GENUINE 2012 theory.

Yeah. The only thing more popular then saying the word will end in 2012 is people saying that the people who say the world will end in 2012 are stupid.

Whhaaaat? The people who say the world will end in 2012 are smart. The people who buy into this? Well I'm not judging anyone on a human right ^-^

You know, if I'm God, I'd make the world end on December twenty-SECOND 2012. Just so the idiots who spent their last 24 hours getting smashed/high to all hell can suffer from the absolutely massive hangover. Also, I would time it to happen right as someone says something about the apocalypse predictors being wrong.

The good news is that for the first day only half of the world will suffer the apocalypse, so everyone on the otherside of the dateline will have a day's warning   :)

Wait, 21st? I'm definitely missing something. Thought the hullabaloo was about 12/12/12, not 21/12/12 (or 12/21/12, depending). Or is that something dealing with the mayan nonsense instead of the numerology nonsense?

This one's about the mayan nonsense, purely because it's the only one that's not rooted in religious hocus pocus. This one's calender hocus pocus.

I cash in on that, I must be a popular person now!! But yeah good point, now that you mention it. It's a bit like Bieber bashing, except it's related to... LACKING COGNITIVE ABILITIES, rather than being jealous over a little kid being more famous than oneself. (take that, internet troglodytes!!)

I still think it's dumb though. Somewhat amusing, but dumb. Some of the doomsday theories are pretty creative, but this is like "MAYANS SAID IT, FAGBUTT". Nobody even bothers explaining how it will happen (or maybe my dgaf-level has reached a point where I overlook everything, either way works).

Time Cube theory postulates that we will have 4 simultaneous 24 hour apocalypses on 12/21/12.
