Every religion/cult/screaming guy wearing posterboard has an end-of-the-world scenario. What’s the best one?

    Ragnarök is quite cool, first there is huge battle between giants, gods and mortals. Then at the end when mostly all noteworthy characters are dead, surtur burns the whole mess down and sun turns black, stars fall and everything falls into boiling sea. And after all that world is reborn and there will be no more evil.

    The best apocalypse is the one you already have. There’s no need to go out get a new apocalypse when your old one is dooming people just fine, that’s how you start a climate apocalypse.

      Our schools lunch guy fell so hard into this to the point he quit in the days before the date to stand outside the school all day with a sign warning us of whats to come. Great guy with a good heart but wow did those pastors on that radio station have a grip on him.

        I remember further back to the big one in 2000. I had a coworker who was convinced it was the end times and had been massively hoarding food for it. He had even been buying stuff like fruit trees, planting them in his backyard along with building a huge garden.

        Friends of his had told us he had built a bunker for his family. He got really weird (or weirder) toward the end of that year and started inviting certain close coworkers, who were still talking to him, to hold up with him and his family.

        Oddly enough it was only guys with young wives or girlfriends , and they were specifically invited to join. No one went but we all joked he was trying to start a cult.

        The guy soon after got fired and I never heard from him again. Am sure he is still around somewhere.

    Honestly, the visualization alone of Melancholia was pretty fucking amazing. Might as well end it quick, and with a bang, mates.
