Weren't there some people worried about the end of the world with the most recent solar eclipse?

well *gestures at everything* isn't it just kind of common knowledge now?

Cause it ended in 2012, remember?

Remember? Before the fucking fever dream reality we entered?

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.

Kinda like The Onion, such things are in a tough spot.

Too obvious now.

Clearly this means it's already ended. An you sure you're not in an afterlife right now?

It already happened, we are living in the end

That’s because we’re now living it.

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.

The religious groups still do, just less loudly.

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... :)

OP: "No one has predicted the end of the world in a while" Lemmy: "It's the end times, the end times have come!"

We're big on subscription services now, can't sell subscriptions if the world is going to end.

I mean we’re kinda already living it.

• climate spiraling out of control
• resurgence of authoritarianism worldwide, including lots of Nazis and racial/religious supremacists (white supremacists, for sure, but for instance, Modi has done some fairly appalling shit in India with pushing Hindu supremacy over the last several years)
• late stage capitalism
• collapsing societal and social contracts
• etc

Can you "predict" a storm when it's already raining?

Well the virus was a hoax. (do I need a /s?)

I gotchu fam. It'll be next February. Check it.

People do all the time. We just stopped promoting them.

We're already riding it it I reckon. Should be like a deep breath out, but I think we'll eventually recover.

How can you predict what's already here?

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:

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

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.

You don't have to when you have the data for the end of the species, we know the rock we are on will still be here just we won't.

We've realized it's not going to be a sudden apocalypse, but a slow one

ITT: everyone predicts the end of the world

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!
