2012

[Fluzz]

Right I'm sure you've all heard the theory that the Mayan calender ends at December 12, 2012, thus when we hit this point the world will end.

I have my own thoughts but they're quite unstable so first I'd like to hear yours and possible add to the foundation of my own.

If all works well we wont get a thread shitteded up by over opinionated fucktards. Don't flame over a possible end over the world, It's like the least manliest thing ever.

[Casalen]

The Mayan myth says that our era ends, and we pass to the next world at that point. It doesn't end there. The calendar starts over.

[DoctorButt]

I think its bullshit.

[The_Solipsist]

Every generation has had it's doomsday.

They were wrong then, they'll be wrong now.

[Audioslave]

I thought the world ended in 2000?

[gizzalove]

I hope so.

[Infinity]

Something tells me that planet earth will continue to rotate on its axis after the calender ends.

[Fluzz]

Every generation has had it's doomsday.

They were wrong then, they'll be wrong now.

But this isn't necessarily our generations. It's been going on for a while.

[Laurence]

I think you'd have to be among the biggest fucktards on the planet if you buy into a moronic doomsday theory like this.

Hey guys - remember Y2K? That was devastating for the whole of human civilisation, wasn't it?

[Pelican Man]

If we're going to buy into 'predictions', where the fuck are the hoverboards we should have by now?

Past generation's guessed as to what the world should be like by x date aren't to be followed religiously.

[BKS]

I was told to Google this in the movie theaters. I haven't yet.

[hardcoresk8r69]

I think you'd have to be among the biggest fucktards on the planet if you buy into a moronic doomsday theory like this.

Hey guys - remember Y2K? That was devastating for the whole of human civilisation, wasn't it?

There was a reason behind Y2K that didn't really fall into myths. Notice how you put 09 instead of 2009 when dating stuff. Well some people thought that computers wouldn't be able to process the year 0 which got everyone on edge.

Now with myths toting the end of the world and now there's a logical reason I guess some people felt it necessary to be worried.

[Laurence]

It fell into overblown paranoia. Just like this time.

http://www.greatdreams.com/2012.htm

This website is vaguely informative. As far as I can ascertain, the end of the Mayan calendar signifies our Sun being the centre of the galaxy. The Mayans, centuries and centuries ago, believed that this was "the cosmic womb: the place of dead, transformation, regeneration and rebirth."

So we're basing a doomsday theory off the archaic beliefs of a long-gone civilisation? It just signifies the end of a certain astronomical cycle, not the end of time.

[Raxo]

HOLY SHIT WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

[Dodger]

Good, I don't wanna be old.

No wonder Souldrinker is so grumpy, he's old.

[Allen]

I thought the Mayans just didn't update their calendar because, ya know, Cortes sort of killed them all.

[birthshirt]

No, the end of the world is in 5 billion years when the sun goes into supernova.

[Metalhead636]

No, the end of the world is in 5 billion years when the sun goes into supernova.

Fuck reliable evidence.

The only good proof is the fact that some dead civilization thousands of years ago said the world will end, silly

[_Atheistic_]

Anyone who believes the world is going to end in 2012 is completely mental. As its already been stated, the Mayans never thought the world was going to end in 2012, its the birth of a new era.

[jewishjosh]

The assassination of Barack Obama, putting a bookend on all the amazing work he's going to do to pave the way for generations to come?

Nah, the Mayans just ran out of room on their calendar stone.

[Rob]

I can't wait til 2012 for the sole reason that these shitty internet threads about the end of the world will finally stop.

Unless you guys discover some other obscure calendar to get all worked up about.

[Derelict]

The election in 2012 at the end of Barack Obama's first term! My god, men, I've cracked the code!

[Vir]

There will always be shitty topics about doom to start threads over. And I would love to die young so I can't wait for 2012.

[fat-red-chicken]

Oh shit! I'd better find God, and fast

[Vir]

Oh shit! I'd better find God, and fast

Don't worry he'll find you :christ:

[Metalhead636]

Don't worry he'll find you :christ:

Shit! He knows my address?

[lostos]

I can't wait til 2012 for the sole reason that these shitty internet threads about the end of the world will finally stop.

Unless you guys discover some other obscure calendar to get all worked up about.

On December 22, 2012 a new date will be given to when the world ends, so don't get excited.

1 January, 2020 maybe. Or 2024: "It was actually 2*12=24, thus 2024. It's obvious."

[SquidWard]

Aren't the mayans the same guys who cut people's hearts out and worshipped the sun? That says a lot for their so called doomsday date.

[OoooF4LiFe]

Time is infinite. So are numbers. If I only count to say, 10,000, that doesn't mean that nobody will ever count to 10,001. Ever.

We have computers that just cycle information and formulas. They were fucking Aztecs.


Fucking world is populated by retards. :ahe:

[Vir]

Mayans, not Aztecs.

Whatever.

The point remains.

[Casalen]

What exactly are you trying to say about Kinich Ahau?

The mass sacrifices were more of an Aztec thing, and it was necessary. The Goddess from which the Earth was created, having been decapitated and otherwise torn apart, still thirsts for blood or she will not provide food or rain otherwise. Obviously. It's called science.

The Mayans just did it to be nice, since part of human blood is that of the gods and, apparently, should be returned. Which is silly.

[r4tur3]

I can tell you three things that will happen in 2012 (and every other year for that matter).

1. Someone well known or famous will die.
2. There will be a terrible disaster.
3. There will be a social/political movement of some kind.

[Hats of!]

The reason why some people believe this is just due the fact that they're unable to imagine a world without magic in it.
So they rather see the destruction of the world rather then a world without magic.

[Derelict]

There will always be shitty topics about doom to start threads over. And I would love to die young so I can't wait for 2012.

Why would anyone ever want to die young?
Yeah, experiencing shit sucks. Let's get this fuck fest over with so I can rot.

[r4tur3]

Why would anyone ever want to die young?

Because shitting and pissing yourself 24 hours a day and having bones of chalk sounds like a hoot.

[Vir]

Its a bit younger than I would want but like retard said being old sucks, I don't want to live long enough to have alzheimers or dementia or any of that.

In retrospect dying in 4 years would really suck too because Ive been going to school for all this time to do something with my life and if I died then it would all be for naught. Fuck.

[Clerlic]

So Mayans were able to predict the doomsday and yet were fooled by a bunch of people with iron hats? There's a doomsday like every 3 years, either the planets are in a special formation, or some "psychic" "predicted" the future by blabbering random stuff, now a calender? I don't understand how can people believe such SHIT.

No, the end of the world is in 5 billion years when the sun goes into supernova.

Actually, the Sun is too light to become a supernova.:facts:

[Vir]

So if the sun got darker it could go supernova?

[r4tur3]

The world will end in 2013. I know because I appointed myself a psychic.

[Assassin]

[HeroinMel]

When 2013 hits, i'm going to punch everyone that dribbles this shit in the face.
Because they're annoying, and this is stupid.

Just crossed my mind, if the Geneva experiment goes wrong, the micro-black hole that will supposedly appear, will apparently engulf the Earth in 4 years.

And here's a nice picture, basically it'll grow and consume a couple of planets and then go poof, eject a lot of material and contract. We'll all be long dead before that happens, though.

Pretty sure you just explained a supernova.

Supernova goes BOOM, not "poof".

In 2012 on December 23rd, the sun will crash into the moon, sending thousands of killograms of moon-chunk hurtling down onto the streets below.

No, really, they're so smart! They made a calender and then they all died before they could finish it!

Actually, the Sun is too light to become a supernova.:facts:

White people are racist as hell.

[Metalhead636]

In 2012 on December 23rd, the sun will crash into the moon, sending thousands of killograms of moon-chunk hurtling down onto the streets below.

Too bad that none of us will die because of that, if the sun even gets close enough to crash into the moon we would of melted long before.

[Pelican Man]

Too bad you believe anything scientist say about things which they've had no contact with whatsoever, said statement being pure supposition.

So, as opposed to taking the information laid out in front of you, you choose to make up a crackpot theory with no relevance behind it whatsoever? Sounds cool.

[Akawaka13]

Did anybody ever think that maybe the people who were predicting all these things on the calender or making the calender maybe died? Maybe they just thought they had gone far enough on the calender then stopped. Its not like the calender actually said the world is going to end. In other words i think it is a load of bull and a little bit of shit.

Doesn't matter. By the time you write the script, get it sold, then get it made, then have it finally released in theaters your expiration date will be up because the world will have come to an end already. You wont get to spend all the profit. Its better to just fuck around until at least a few seconds before doomsday, then repent!

If this is what world destruction looks like, I'm kind of for it.

[Infinity]

Yea I supposse. I guess people would be watching the movie while doomsday is occuring. Then the audience's last words would be something like "Holy shit, Laurence was right"! Then for a brief moment in time everyone would think you are God.

[Laurence]

Yes. It would totally open the day before the predicted doomsday. I'd make a shitload of money and then vanish from existence.

Unless the world didn't end. Then I'd just have lots of money. Yeah, I'd still do it.

[Souldrinker]

The problem with this whole 2012 calendar thing is that the stupid Mayans switched their calendars over to digital, they became screwed up due to the Y2K bug and now they won't work as predicted.

So, unless some nerd gets in and fixes the damned things there will be no Doomsday.

No wonder Souldrinker is so handsome, he's got a beard.

[Casalen]

Plus, once Microsoft 'fixes' it up, the Mayan calendar won't be compatible with our old calendars. It's just their way of getting us to buy a new calendar every year. Ridiculous.

[HallowedFetus]

And since the moon is made of cheese, all the skinny Ethiopians will finally get to eat!


I like your thinking. 2012 may wipe out all of humanity BUT it'll also wipe out world hunger!

[r4tur3]

Chances are it will hit December 12, 2012 and disappointed that nothing happens, you inadvertedly walk out onto a major road without looking.

[InnerDemon]

So, as opposed to taking the information laid out in front of you, you choose to make up a crackpot theory with no relevance behind it whatsoever? Sounds cool.

I didn't know coolness was what you were looking for. Unfortunately, I'm not into it.

However, the information laid out in front of me is nothing but pure supposition. Scientists can only assume what a black hole is, how it reacts or what kind of food it has for lunch. Maybe in another 500 years these theories will be considered "crackpot" as well. Gee, it's almost like making up a calendar that people will be making fun of after 500 years.

[lolguy]

We're going to live. Woohoo, end of discussion.

[Ozymandias]

A certain apocalypse in the very near future would definitely validate my edgy, rock n' roll lifestyle.

[Mirrorman]

I'll bet 10$ that there'll be some mass suicides before that date.

[wellsy]

Who else is going to be kind of disappointed when they wake up on December 13th?

[PseudoInsurrectionist]

Too many people are sweating 2012. Even if something goes down, what the fuck is posting about it on the internet going to prevent? Anyone expecting a biblical (a.k.a. fairy tale) apocalypse is in for major disappointment. To tell you the truth, civilization crumbling to pieces and over half of the Earth's population dying sounds like a great idea from the planet's standpoint.

But, until something actually happens (or if the impending events are finally obvious), find something better to worry about. Start a revolution against tyranny if you believe in armageddon so much -- whattaya got to lose?

--P.I.

[grim35094]

This COULD be true. Assuming Obama is the Anti-christ.

Or you could go down into your basement, and come out an hour later disappointed.

[SpaceRaoul]

I think you'd have to be among the biggest fucktards on the planet if you buy into a moronic doomsday theory like this.

Hey guys - remember Y2K? That was devastating for the whole of human civilisation, wasn't it?
Y2K wasn't predicted by the most astronomically-advanced ancient civilization... Plus, the Aztecs predicted the same thing (Aztecs and Mayans are quite different cultures, it's not as if one prediction is consecuence of the other).

[SpaceRaoul]

Too bad that none of us will die because of that, if the sun even gets close enough to crash into the moon we would of melted long before.

Well, what if the moon were the one crashing with the sun? We don't need no stinkin' moon to live!

[Vir]

We totally need the moon, it affects the oceans and causes tides, without it who knows what the lack of a gravitational satellite would do to our planet.

[lafuriaroja]

Let's see...

- Nostradamus predicted that the world would end on July 1999. Nothing Happend.
-The whole world though the world would end on January 1, 2000. Y2K. Nothing Happend.
-Many scholars and these so called "predictions" say that the Anti-Christ will bring forth Armageddon.With many dates stating his arrival. Nothing Happend.

See a pattern. Nothing is gonna happend. And if you actually believe all this histeria. Kill yourself. You'll get what you want.

[Hypocrite]

We totally need the moon, it affects the oceans and causes tides, without it who knows what the lack of a gravitational satellite would do to our planet.

We would probably not have tides. Also, we would not have to worry about who "owns" the moon.

Sounds good! My sand castles won't get ruined and people can argue about slightly more important stuff.


See a pattern. Nothing is gonna happend. And if you actually believe all this histeria. Kill yourself. You'll get what you want.

But then who will make stupid threads?! These people are necessary for the survival of internet spam.

[Niki]

Pretty sure you just explained a supernova.

Nope, actually he really didn't at all.
The sun isn't going to create a supernova, it's going to fade into a white dwarf and create a planetary nebula.
Now, it's POSSIBLE that the white dwarf left behind can create a type 1 supernova if another star passes close enough for it to take some material from it. If it takes enough it can collapse into a neutron star suddenly and release a huge amount of radiation.
But that won't happen, because the sun's white dwarf won't be big enough and it's not part of a binary system.

Who gives a shit what's going to happen, if it does you'll all be dead anyway

[HallowedFetus]

Maybe we'll all just spontaneously combust....

[MasterX]

I thought the world ended in 2000?

You are right, 'cause the oceans overdoing whatever and pitch black, freezing nights are easy too!

[r4tur3]

I know because of my psychic abilities (which I gained from a chakra building course at a weekend retreat) that the world will end... now. No wait... now. Hang on, let me get this right...

You win. A bunch of cults are going to form and kill themselves.

[PseudoInsurrectionist]

We most definitely need the moon. For many more reasons than tidal, one of which being that it is an indirect source of sunlight and, heirgo, a catalyst of life for the night. There's certain lifeforms that gain their nutrients & thrive from moonlight, not direct sunlight.

[r4tur3]

The world will end when we stop discussing this shit.

Maybe in another 500 years these theories will be considered "crackpot" as well. Gee, it's almost like making up a calendar that people will be making fun of after 500 years.

Because all of their assumptions are based on nothing. Not space observation, several generations of theory, data collection, and hundreds of hours of research. They're just dickin' around and probably don't know anything. You're the equivalent of the redneck that says doctors don't know anything when it comes to your health.

Not that there shouldn't be skepticism, but I believe that if they honestly thought they were going to destroy themselves they would not go through with the experiment.

[SpaceRaoul]

Holy lols, I hit reply instead of edit, sorry!

[SpaceRaoul]

What if the Japanese start a Virus that spreads at the same rate time zones change? (Also, It will hit South America before North America).

Or maybe some Alien race aims a STATIC, vertical laser at Earth and people die as the planet Rotates?

What if a virus (another virus) hits humanity, only it causes them to die from EARLY SUN RAYS?

No? Nothing?

[Vir]

That's not the meaning of life, it's just the answer to the ultimate question.

[r4tur3]

Didn't we discuss this in spame

I posted that two hours ago.

[Juan_Beta]

Well, the Mayans do have a really good sense of time. Besides they have had the best calendar ever, we could not even possibly match them. Also, I have seen other sources talk about the "end of the world" and they also seem to converge on that same date. Both the Chinese, and a old British "oracle". Seeing as all three of them have the same date, its quite possible to assume something will happen. If we all do not die due to whatever, we will probably die due to weapons of mass destruction. Only hope left is that some humans remain immune in space (or any planet, if we have reached any). So, really who gives a fuck?? I mean life is awesome yeah, but still we are all going to die, what is some year in advanced going to change if in the end nothing is going to be left...

[Hypocrite]

Well, the Mayans do have a really good sense of time. Besides they have had the best calendar ever, we could not even possibly match them.

Their calender runs out, how the hell is that a good sense of time? :eyebrow:

Also, Juan, if they had such a good sense of time, how come they didn't forsee their demise?

Yes there is, didn't you see that baby in 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Universal Constants will change and we will all implode.

[Rex_Mundi]

Well, the Mayans do have a really good sense of time. Besides they have had the best calendar ever, we could not even possibly match them. Also, I have seen other sources talk about the "end of the world" and they also seem to converge on that same date. Both the Chinese, and a old British "oracle". Seeing as all three of them have the same date, its quite possible to assume something will happen. If we all do not die due to whatever, we will probably die due to weapons of mass destruction. Only hope left is that some humans remain immune in space (or any planet, if we have reached any). So, really who gives a fuck?? I mean life is awesome yeah, but still we are all going to die, what is some year in advanced going to change if in the end nothing is going to be left...

OR MAYBE!!! JUST MAYBE!!! A happening occurs on that date and we all get super powers and have to choose whether to be heroes or villains.

[SourChicken]

Or dragons?

[Pelican Man]

Zing! We tried using your mom, but there's no one for her to fuck in space.

Way to go champ. You just ruined the fucking joke.

[SpaceRaoul]

Also, Juan, if they had such a good sense of time, how come they didn't forsee their demise?
Since when does having a good sense of time mean foreseeing the future?

[exetra]

IT JUST DOES OKAY?

[SpaceRaoul]

You know, I have such a good sense of time... I totally saw that one coming!

[exetra]

My time sense is tingling!

[SpaceRaoul]

You're just horny... o wanna poop.

[Powerslideking]

Time is infinite. So are numbers. If I only count to say, 10,000, that doesn't mean that nobody will ever count to 10,001. Ever.

I agree. I would bet that some Mayan dude decided he'd rather be sticking it to his woman, sacrificing people or chasing squirrels in the forest than writing up more days on his little calendar. So, he told his boss dude that the world is going to end or the era will end or whatever the fucking deal was that way he could go frolic in the fields.

[r4tur3]

Since when does having a good sense of time mean foreseeing the future?

Well, if they were good enough to pin point the exact day the world would end, how come they didn't pin point the exact day the Mayan civilisation collapsed?

It looks like a raised middle-finger. Kinda what I thought when I read your post.

[Hypocrite]

You're just perverted I assume, I didn't notice that until after I read your post.

[Grogerian]

Just because a calendar ends doesn't make it the end of the world, although we are passing by the "black rift" (?? I don't know the actual name sorry, it's that collection of blackholes in the galaxy somewheres around here o.O). Some scientists say 2012 could actually be close to the polarity shift of our planet, as we are due for one as it is.

[Niki]

If we're passing by a collection of black holes they're probably light years away and we're in no danger at all, and a polarity shift will not wipe out humanity either.

I'm also pretty sure this "black rift" doesn't even exist.

[Grogerian]

Yes, sorry it is called the dark-rift -.- This is only how i remember this from that discovery special "2012" here is a source on what it is.

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/583192.html

Also, yes. A polarity shift will not wipe out humanity, It's just a regular event of the Earth.

Edit: the dark-rift, has nothing to do with black holes as I had assumed earlier.

[Niki]

Dust clouds aren't quite black holes, and I think if we were really THAT close the dust cloud would be noticeable in the sky already. It just flat out won't happen. Also the cloud wouldn't be stationary, it would orbit around the galaxy as well as the solar system.

[Grogerian]

Yes, but I didn't say that this "dark rift" would kill us :P I was just stating what I remember off of discovrery, however so... I think 2012 is just going to be another day of "dissapointment"

How many times have we thought "The end of the world is coming!"? and yet, we are still here.

[PseudoInsurrectionist]

Oh, loosen up, toolbag. You just ruined the fucking joke. Everything was smooth sails until your panties wadded up.

[ShadowFlame]

I am going to just buy another calender.

[LandMarkMoon]

Didn't we already discuss this back in 2000?

[lolguy]

This discussion is still going on?

[Hell_Tiger]

keep this thread going until 2012

[Wallettheif]

bullshit

[lolguy]

Until 2012?
I think that's a good idea.

[Pelican Man]

Oh, loosen up, toolbag. You just ruined the fucking joke. Everything was smooth sails until your panties wadded up.

Uh, nope. You ruined it actually. If by "everything was smooth sails (?)", you meant "everyone was facepalming from your utter lack of humour", then you're right.

[PseudoInsurrectionist]

Uh, nope. You ruined it actually. If by "everything was smooth sails (?)", you meant "everyone was facepalming from your utter lack of humour", then you're right.

Well, my apologies. Tough crowd.

The world will end because of shit humour.

Maybe they did! But couldn't do shit about it...

No kidding! Worst material I've written in years... I don't know what I was thinking retaliating against something as cliche and lame as a 'your mom' joke anyway. Can't really ruin a joke that sucks, but I digress.

My bad. Won't happen again. I'm not a troll, I swear -- just need to re-approach the way I post 'round these parts. Sorry about that.

You're still talking about it?

[Cakelord]

The calendar in my kitchen ends January 30th 2010, and 2010 is 2000+10, which is Y2K+10, therefore Jan 30 '10 will be incrementally worse than 2000. Also Jan 30+2010+2000=4040. 40/40 beach cricket sponsored by KFC cricket will be the death of us all! Colonel Sanders=Satan!

I'll bet 10$ that there'll be some mass suicides before that date.

I'll bet $10 that there'll be some massive love making and orgies before that date.

I don't believe anything will happen. That doesn't mean I don't wish that it could trigger the zombie apocalypse, though.

[Ikin]

On that day, every idiot that actually believes the world will end will suddenly drop dead.

[SpaceRaoul]

Remember when this thread was fun?
Yeah, me neither.

[friskybadger456]

I'm pretty sure that its december 21st, not december 12th. Also, it might not be the end of the world, just the end of the human race.

And we're not that important.

[pure_hatred]

Not gonna read 5 pages, but I heard, and agree with the theory that on December 12, 2012, the Earth's magnetic poles will reverse. Bare with me for a second.

In A level Geology, I learnt that every couple of million years, the molten iron outer core stops spinning, then starts spinning in the opposite direction, causing the Earth's magnetic poles to reverse. There is evidence for this in the oceans. In the fissures, where magma is erupting and cooling into sea bed, it is setting with "memory" of the magnetic poles at the time it was formed. There are bands of rock with alternating magnetic North poles spreading out from these fissures, giving furhter evidence to the theory that this does indeed happen.

Now, the Earth's magnetic field is what protects us from the deadly cosmic radiation produced by the Sun and other stuff in the universe. It is what causes the Northern Lights. When the Earh's outer core stops spinning, the magnetic field will disappear, and we will be struck by the horrble radiation. I know this all sounds like that movie"The Core" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Core), but it's actual geoscience. We're overdue by a few thousand years for this magnetic switch to happen.

So, to sum up, I beleive the Mayan calendar is predicting the magnetic field disappearing, frying us with cosmic radiation.

[WoeStorm]

Or there's another theory about the magnetic poles: Compasses will point south.

[Hypocrite]

Will the moss change which side of the tree it grows on?

[WoeStorm]

No, unless the Earth decides to tip in the other direction.

[Vir]

Would we all fall off then? Shit man moss growing on the wrong sides and people falling into space, I can't wait for 2012!

That probably won't happen until about the year 3000 or 4000. Also the fields regenerate rapidly, so that's not going to end the world or get rid of people. In fact, people have lived through past geomagnetic reversals but it was before modern society and they've actually never been proven to be even linked to any mass extinctions.

[Clerlic]

Not to mention that there is no proof that it will happen in 2012 and Mayans had the technology to predict that while we don't.

[r4tur3]

NOTHING IS GOING TO FUCKING HAPPEN. Would you rather believe scientists today or a batshit insane civilisation that sacrificed people to the sun then disappeared without a trace?

[Hypocrite]

There are quite a few batshit insane scientists still out there today.

[pure_hatred]

I'm not saying the magnetic thing WILL happen. But if something DOES happen, my money's on that. I don't think anything will happen, and even if something cataclysmic does, who the fuck cares? We'll be dead anyway.

[Xambesi]

Since the Mayans managed to extinct themselves, they obviously weren't that intelligent, so I don't see why we should believe their retarded doomsday predictions.

[Niki]

Good job reiterating what's been said about 50 times.

[MistyTehMoose]

You'll be dead in 2012?

[somebody]

If something happens in 2012, which probably won't, it would happen in five years because the idiot that did the AD dating thingy started on 1 AD not 0 AD.

[LandMarkMoon]

This thread is so cool. I'm predicting in 2012 there will be a mass congregation of people making out and lots of fireworks.

I'm not Nostradamus, I'm just cool that way, like the Mayans.

[Snarfnbarf]

I forget did people go crazy the night of Y2K?

[Hypocrite]

I forget did people go crazy the night of Y2K?

Yes, but mostly because it was New Year's Eve and they were drunk as shit.

[Snarfnbarf]

Ohhh... I didn't know it there were wild drunken orgies because of it though.

[Cocktapus]

NOTHING IS GOING TO FUCKING HAPPEN. Would you rather believe scientists today or a batshit insane civilisation that sacrificed people to the sun then disappeared without a trace?

They didn't exactly disappear without a trace. I'm not gonna pretend I believe in anyone's ability to predict the future, but the Mayans were a pretty damn impressive civilization. A huge amount of the structures they built in their prime are still around and very stable today.

[Ikin]

Since the Mayans managed to extinct themselves, they obviously weren't that intelligent, so I don't see why we should believe their retarded doomsday predictions.

Mayans still exist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_peoples) Still doesn't any more credence to the theory, though.

[Bezz]

It's not actually that the world is over, there is just some "great change" there has been like 4 of them already on the Mayan calendar, each time to reset the universe or something and each time it gets better, and this time is supposed to be the last, and after December 12, 2012 we will have a "perfect world".

[TheAwesome]

December 21st... You have to know that it's December 21st or else you noobs will be like "OMFG. IT'S ALREADY DECEMBER 12TH NOTHING HAPPENED!" And then if it ACTUALLY IS TRUE, You'll end up humiliating yourself. You humiliate yourself both ways, actually.

[macaronisheep]

If something happens in 2012, which probably won't, it would happen in five years because the idiot that did the AD dating thingy started on 1 AD not 0 AD.
I'm pretty sure the 2012 date is adjusted correctly against the calendars. Besides they have AD dates from the Mayans to compare to synchronise, and a lot of the Mayan timekeeping was astronomical, which doesnt change no matter which date scale you use.

[Souldrinker]

Since the Mayans managed to extinct themselves, they obviously weren't that intelligent, so I don't see why we should believe their retarded doomsday predictions.

Apparently they had my birthday marked on their calendar so this theory regarding a lack of intelligence displays its own lack of intelligence.

[Cakelord]

And after December 12, 2012 we will have a "perfect world".

We just need to get rid of me by then...

[Fluzz]

God this thread has gone to shit. All in favor of deleting it?

If we're going to buy into 'predictions', where the fuck are the hoverboards we should have by now?

You mean like the one that Marty McFly used? Is that where this prediction came from?

I have not heard that, but that would suck - my b-day is Dec. 13th...Don't I get one last birthday to celebrate before the world ends??

[Clerlic]

Yeah, that waffle WAS pretty hot.

[SpaceRaoul]

Let me guess, you wanted to fuck it?

Seven times.

That's a lot of lust for a waffle man, unles... did it have bacon on the sides?

THIS THREAD WILL SHIT ON ITSELF WITHOUT YOUR HELP RAOUL

[Souldrinker]

If this happens, I will not get to my 36th birthday. I'll miss it by 5 days. That sucks because 36 is half of 72 and 72 is my favourite number.

On the plus side, my younger brother has his birthday on the 21st and that means we'll both be 35 when we die. We can die as twins!
