I can only confidently guarantee that the prostitute you end up making tender love to (lol) will shower longer than she usually does after your 5 shameful minutes of disappointing her
It's likely that it's all one person. Lurk around AboveTopSecret.com and you'll learn that certain people are literally insane. This is someone pulling a long con. Trying to be the next John Titor
What's your stance on Trump? BASED, cuck-BTFOing GEOTUS pwning the libtards, or nazi rapist oppressor-of-minorities who will cause WW3 any day now? (You have to pick one or the other- no in betweensies)
(Also, it's probably help your sub's numbers if you linked that 'megathread', rather than just mention it. r/drama types tend have difficulties with tasks more complex than "click here".)
there was this autistic kid in one of my classes in high school and he was fucking terrified of the world ending in 2012. the black kids discovered this and spent the rest of the semester terrorizing him. they'd get him so worked up, he'd be screaming and shit, someone would get sent to the office, rinse and repeat.
by december someone would just have to go "joe, guess what? 2012!!" and he'd be shrieking and pounding his desk and the teacher would be screaming at everyone to lay off him. sometimes the poor kid would just begin shouting "2012 IS NOT REAL. 2012 IS NOT REAL" i think they really broke something in him.
I wonder if he joined the conspiracy world when he grew up.
2012 was a great one. It was around for years; I remember otherkin forums talking about when that was going to be the 'lifting of the veil' wherein they transform into their True Selves and everyone can freely practice 'majick'.
The Millenium Bug shit at least had some factual basis (even if it as wildly exagerated), instead of being based on mystical predictions and astrology like most of these things.
I read a book about apocalyptic groups (in particular one fundy Christian group, who kept picking dates, then just picked a new date a few months later when the original date passed without event). They found that failed predictions of "apocalypse on [x] date" only strengthened the convictions of the group, through some bizarro psychology.
Harold Egbert Camping (July 19, 1921 – December 15, 2013) was an American Christian radio broadcaster, author and evangelist. Beginning in 1958, he served as president of Family Radio, a California-based radio station group that broadcasts to more than 150 markets in the United States. In October 2011, he retired from active broadcasting following a stroke, but still maintained a role at Family Radio until his death. Camping is notable for issuing multiple failed predictions of dates for the End Times, which temporarily gained him a global following and millions of dollars of donations.
What was the name of that book? Y2K was interesting, but in hindsight I think we overestimated our dependence of technology at that point and it was way overhyped by media and pop culture.
I just realised I was getting the book ("When Prophesy Fails"- following an apocalyptic UFO cult from the 60s) mixed up with other stuff I'd read about Camping. But, yeah, the Y2K stuff was completely overhyped- I was just a kid but I remember it being obviously overhyped, and that [1] a software problem like that shouldn't be that hard to fix, and [2] even absolute worse-case scenario and all computers did crash, it wouldn't cause the Mad Max scenario people were talking about. (my dad was never known for his great decisions)
When Prophecy Fails: A Social and Psychological Study of a Modern Group That Predicted the Destruction of the World is a classic work of social psychology by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter which studied a small UFO religion in Chicago called the Seekers that believed in an imminent apocalypse and its coping mechanisms after the event did not occur. Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance can account for the psychological consequences of disconfirmed expectations. One of the first published cases of dissonance was reported in this book.
I remember on New Year's Eve2000, one of my local news stations had someone go to a gas station to see if the pumps were working once it was midnight. This poor guy had a look on his face that was a mix of "I could have been getting drunk right now and " I went to journalism school for this?"
I think the most credible, objective prediction is this one:
Estimated years from now: 10 duotrigintillion
Description: The heat death of the universe is a scientific theory in which the universe will diminish to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and therefore will no longer sustain directed motion or life.
You should check out the TSUKI project if you like weird internet doomsday cults. Sadly most of the drama is over by now but there's some archived stuff if you look around.
