A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
I mean we’re kinda already living it.
That’s because we’re now living it.
Too obvious now.
We're already riding it it I reckon. Should be like a deep breath out, but I think we'll eventually recover.
Hah, I agree. No need for the nutters to predict it when civilization is dangling its toes off the precipice. You can see it on the horizon. Global instability, wars, anthropogenic climate change. They’re holding their breath like the rest of us.
If by "a while" you mean 1 month, then sure. There were tons of conspiracy theorists saying that the world was going to end on April 8th due to the solar eclipse.
They were going to fire up the LHC to open a dimension, which can only happen when the moon is casting a shadow 6000 km away. Then aliens... or something.
OP: "No one has predicted the end of the world in a while" Lemmy: "It's the end times, the end times have come!"
Prediction? Bro, we're chronicling
Uhm... IPCC...
When does the IPCC say the end is going to be?
People do all the time. We just stopped promoting them.
Cause it ended in 2012, remember?
Remember? Before the fucking fever dream reality we entered?
We need to find in ourselves the permeability to pass through a great invisible filter that separates the past and the future of humanity. We are collectively at the kind of moment that only happens once for a species.
Before the flattening. Ah, what a wonderful time that was.
Can you "predict" a storm when it's already raining?
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.
So how long until the end is over? If the end is now, when does it seem like the actual end?
There's no need to
ITT: everyone predicts the end of the world
I think it’s mostly because we are in a bad state already. Things don’t feel like they’re building up for it to pop, it feels like more like a slow decline.
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
End Timers on youtube are alive and well, they have all just started saying it's "imminent." instead of throwing out predictions.
End Times youtube is one hell of a rabbit hole though. Would recommend!
End Times youtube
link pls?
It's all over. Do a search for "end times prophecy"
We are living it... You don't predict what is happening already... :)
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:
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
It already happened, we are living in the end
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
