I think my first vivid "we're all gonna die!!!" experience was Y2K. Bunch of loonies.

If you were a little bit older you'd have grown up KNOWING that were were all going to get nuked and even if the blast didn't kill us the "nuclear winter" would.
 
The world can't end at the moment as Star Trek is just getting really good again.
Strange New Worlds is about to hit and Picard and Discovery are on again soon.

Screw you doomsday, you can wait until they all finish.

The crazy doomsdayers in Utah (Chad and Lori Daybell) believe that the world is going to end July 22 this year. Lori believes she's a god who cannot die and when Christ returns on July 22, 2020 she will lead the 144,000 into the next phase.....or something.

Both Chad and Lori are in jail and will be on July 22 too so......

What are you going to do with your last 9 days? :2razz:

Wow, what are you even worrying about? The Mayan calendar told us the universe would end in 2012, and since that year has come and gone, then obviously the universe was already destroyed, and we're all ghosts, living in a "ghost universe"! So we CAN'T die again! Sheeesh... Be reasonable! Lol

i would say that i would max out the credit card and buy this...

and then take a nice long cruise in it with the fam.

however, i'm more practical than that. i'd probably just stay in, play with the kiddo, have a drink, and write.

Yeah, in the 1981-82 school year, my hippy English teacher had us read "On the Beach", whereafter she told us that she'd heard that we had no better than 50%-50% odds of surviving past the next 5 years, due to the likelihood of being nuked and killed! That caused great worry amongst our class of 13 year olds, so someone asked her what the odds were in her personal opinion, and she said she thought the odds of us all dying within the next 5 years, were actually greater than 50%! Great message for kids just starting to reach puberty, huh!? Typical far left ultra-nihilism and misery...

Do you remember "The Day After" on TV? That was a great way to spend a couple of hours.

We had the "5 O'clock whistle" in town which was a test of the emergency alert system. It was convenient because during the summer it gave us a good guide for when to head home for dinner but every time it went off it kind of made you think.

Yup. I had my strategy all worked out. When the civil defense sirens went off, I was going straight to the roof to wait for the Big One with open arms. First, I'm claustrophobic, so getting shut into a bomb shelter for months... And second, I'd rather die than live on Spam. Especially cold Spam. It's making me a little queasy just thinking about it.

I watched another documentary about Jim Jones, where they pointed out some really important facts that have been entirely(but unsurprisingly) omitted from the "history". Jim Jones is documented saying that he basically coopted christian religion for the inherent benefits it provided his group, but in reality he could take it or leave it, because his primary overarching ideology was Soviet style communism! He very publicly praised the Soviets, and his community was a communist/socialist group. He promoted Marxism, and he had help and support from SEVERAL big name democrats, which has also been conveniently omitted from the record!

lol One night my cousin and I were walking home, visiting our relatives' little town, when it went off almost in our ear (8 p.m. curfew due to hippies hysteria) and I never saw anyone dive beneath a parked car so fast in my life. lol I still chuckle about that.

I can't even begin to tell you how pissed off I will be if the world ends on July 22nd. I've been busting my ass to get all these tax returns done by Wednesday and people are still blowing up the phone lines to ask if I can get their done as long as they bring it in by tomorrow afternoon...late, if possible. I've also got two killer vacations fully paid for that I hope to use at some point if this virus ever eases so I AM NOT in favor of the world ending next week.

File for an "end of the world" extension. ;)

Actually I do remember us reading the book "On the Beach", but now that you mentioned "The Day After", which I'd completely forgotten about, I remember that same English teacher airing it on a portable TV during class.

I got stuck in traffic on my way to "catch a ride" on the Hale Bopp comet with my fellow Heaven's Gate members, so I missed out.... I had just picked up my crazy H.G. uniform and special sneakers from the dry cleaners too! Now I just wear them to yoga & capoeira classes...(*sigh*)

But theres an older, more popular cult out there, and i may just join them! It's great, cause its equally misguided, MORE suicidal, and it even forcibly kills non-members! Yep, I may become a Marxist!
