2012 Officially Bullshit - Actual "Doomsday" in 2220 - General

Slashdot Article: [quote]News is spreading quickly here that scientists writing in a popular science periodical (Dutch) have debunked the 2012 date (google translation linked) featuring so prominently in doomsday predictions/speculation across the web. On 2012-12-21, the sun will appear where you would normally be able to see the 'galactic equator' of the Milky Way; an occurrence deemed special because it happens 'only' once every 25.800 years, on the winter solstice. However, even if you ignore the fact that there is no actual galactic equator, just an observed one, and that the visual effect is pretty much the same for an entire decade surrounding that date, there are major problems with the way the Maya Calendar is being read by doomsday prophets.[/quote] [url]http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/10/26/1517242/2012-a-Miscalculation-Actual-Calendar-Ends-2220?from=rss[/url] (Poorly Translated) Source Article: [url]http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.natutech.nl%2F00%2Fnt%2Fnl%2F47%2Fartikel%2F26050%2FBalen%3A_%25272012%2527_is_pas_over_twee_eeuwen.html[/url] SHIT this is in the wrong section, can a mod please move it to news?

Will be dead by then, doesn't care.

Well that will totally screw up that 2012 movie.

How is this news worthy. Unless you believe in this rubbish ofcourse..

I hoped I will live to see Doomsday :sigh: Like, Seriously. I will have to die once anyway, and I could at least see something really epic before my death. I also wouldn't have to care about leaving my relatives, because they would all also die.

You know. Its not gonna be a monstrous event that kills us. Its gonna be people acting like idiots going "hurr durr world is ending im gonna do what i want lulz." Anyone else agree with me? I see society utterly collapsing. Edit: Wow, thought I would have had some agrees.

hahaha, take that, believers! [editline]09:25PM[/editline] and john cusack

Why do we always have to have a doomsday? 2012, 2038, 2220, WTF is this shit???

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;18030587]It's so we can rub it in people's faces.[/QUOTE] Rub what in peoples faces? Anyway all crackpot theories must die sooner or later, just like how Y2K happened.

I don't believe in any of this not 2012 or this new 2220. stupid

[QUOTE=TrulliLulli;18030620]i was like crap i'm going to die[/QUOTE] Dumb

Guys I heard all the computers will stop working on January 1st 2000. Were gonna be fucked guys.

2012 is going to be like that South Park episode where Cartman and Stan crash a boat into a beaver dam and everyone thought global warming caused it. Thus starting a worldwide panic.

Been posted in almost every thread about this, but here. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJjQMwEjC1I[/media]

2220? 2220!? Don't you think we humans have either wiped ourselves out with our "We go to war against you guys to show you that our cock is bigger than yours" or moved from this silly blue planet by then? (Going with the first one).

In other news: The movie "2012" is now about spaceships and cities made out of chrome

2220? People with Business degrees can't even look at Stock trends and predict what will happen the next day, yet now there's already a NEW doomsday date that some random WoW Nerd cooked up on the internet people are believing in? Fucking seriously?

[QUOTE=DrLuke;18030735]In other news: The movie "2012" is now about spaceships and cities made out of chrome[/QUOTE] And daleks.

[QUOTE=Jessesmith1;18030722]except that was a parody of [i]the day after tomorrow[/i] [editline]09:34PM[/editline] :smug:[/QUOTE] Still kind of represents what will happen.

What people keep forgetting is that we're all fucked on 19th January, 2038, when Unix time crashes and destroys the whole Internet, sending the world into chaos.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;18030814]And daleks.[/QUOTE] But i don't see the Doctor, there can't be Dalek without the Doctor.

Fuck this, no, NO, every time a Doomsday Date in the near future is debunked people have to GO AND FIND A NEW ONE.

I'm relieved now.

Just keep pushing back the day. It's never going to happen I don't see why people get so scared about it.
