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?
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 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!
So hot right now.
Get out of the kiln.
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!!
Kinda like The Onion, such things are in a tough spot.
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
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:
We are living it… You don’t predict what is happening already… :)
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.
We’re big on subscription services now, can’t sell subscriptions if the world is going to end.
Cause it ended in 2012, remember?
Remember? Before the fucking fever dream reality we entered?
Well the virus was a hoax. (do I need a /s?)
do I need a /s?
Umm, after that shit show, yes lol
Don’t underestimate the scale of human stupidity. Most definitely need a /s.
People do all the time. We just stopped promoting them.
OP: “No one has predicted the end of the world in a while” Lemmy: “It’s the end times, the end times have come!”
I don’t really think that the author of this book believes the world will “end” this soon but anyways. This is a post apocalyptic dystopia that sets it’s scene in Moscow 2033:
spoiler about the metro series
In the later books it kinda seems like that it’s only Russia that has been nuked out of existence so really the world hasn’t ended. But if you just read the first book you would not get to know that
