Every religion/cult/screaming guy wearing posterboard has an end-of-the-world scenario. What’s the best one?
The one from the end of Bugonia seemed pretty good
Personally I’m a big fan of the Hadron Collider accidentally creating a black hole.
Global basilisk hack. Everyone staring at a screen has a fatal seizure and tips over. Uncontacted tribes in the Amazon basin inherit the Earth.
And those guys on the island who murder anyone who comes close to them
I’m honestly super down for the Rapture. All the Christians getting beamed up to infini-church while the rest of us finally get to live without them
that would only “confirm” they were right all along and then the rest of us (or many at least) would immediately jump on the bandwagon in hopes for a repeat
Honestly I wish they were right. I’d give anything to see those fuckers squirm in front of st peter
It ain’t the religion, it’s the people.
You’ve never met a smug dogmatic till you’ve met a Buddhist smug dogmatic.
I personally think the key to that door is psychedelics.
In my case, nuclear annihilation. I’m in an area where there’s a pretty good chance when the clock strikes midnight, my city will absolutely be obliterated and hopefully I will disintegrate with it.
It’ll suck for any survivors, but I have a good change of not having to live through it. I’d be dead weight because of being on life saving meds, so you don’t want me in an apocalypse.
Reading the terminals in Fallout 4 and the heartbreak sprinkled within them. Lost people searching for lost loves in the wreckage of social collapse. Searching through twisted metal for any scrap to cling to your new existence. Defiantly a worthy apocalyptic hell scape.
The Mayan one in 2012 was pretty good, I really enjoyed it. It ended with the masterpiece that is Gangnam Style.
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.
I distinctly remember Gangnam style being earlier in the year (they played it at my freshman orientation), wasn’t the “prediction” for December?
Hella fun at parties btw
Yes you’re right. But it was connected with the December date. It was the first youtube video to achieve 1 billion views on or around Dec 12, when the apocalypse was prophesied.
I dunno, I feel like it fell off with the entire Harambe act.
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.
Not religious, but my favorite is the Gamma Ray Burst.
Totally invisible until it hits and BOOM, everything is dead.
Same result, but false vaccum decay.
Gaia, incarnated in her very sexiest avatar, walks, naked except for some dangly vines and flowers, through the cities and roads, replacing the works of man with awesome verdant foliage. Old growth oak forest and crazy creepers growing at high speed everywhere. No more plastic or concrete.
I’d have to go with Virus.
Wipes out enough people to give humanity a chance to at least try something new from the ashes of the old world, but doesn’t leave a lingering threat like Zombies or Aliens or something like that. The survivors (ostensibly those immune to the virus) have struggles, for sure, but at least can rebuild without worrying about a constant existential threat.
Like the show, The Last Man on Earth. I’d take that deal.
Minecraft House vs Tsunami (Noob vs. Pro vs. Admin vs. Hacker)
The Norse one has a wolf eating the sun. That’s pretty metal.
The best one is the show in the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.
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.
Hyperspace bypass.
Fairest apocalypse because notice was posted.
