2012 - The End?

delsquacho.com — Hey, have you heard that the world is supposed to end in a few years? That ’s right, according to some theories, the apocalypse should arrive sometime in December, 2012. Since that’s not too far off, you’d better either get prepared, or start living it up.

  • AmyVernon, on 07/16/2008, -1/+19tonight we're gonna party like it's 2011!

    thanks for the chuckle...
  • louiebaur, on 07/16/2008, -0/+13cool cant wait!
  • taylorblue, on 07/16/2008, -1/+12I thought the world was going to end in 2000...that's why i had a kid when I was a teen...now I find out I could have waited...MAN!!!
  • YodaJones, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12I hope the world ends in Washington DC first.
    • spookyttws, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3I guess that destroys all of Hilary's chances.
  • 0Xonox0, on 07/16/2008, -0/+10Choose your weapon:
    A. Pole reversal/shift
    B. Meteor impact
    C. Rapture
    D. Great plague
    E. Alien Invasion
    F. Artificial Intelligence
    G. Environmental Collapse
    H. Zombies

    Personally I'd vote for all of the above.
    • mateoberry, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6What??!! The Rapture listed before Zombies??!!

      come on people, get real.
    • Hetman, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4I would go with zombies, unless they are the really fast ones from 28 days later.
    • macweirdo42, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5I. Vogon Constructor fleet.
      • Cancerkitty, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Oh, man, I can't believe I forgot that one. Bypasses aren't going to build themselves, after all.
    • madwaxer, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4I'd go with the return of Planet X / Eris / Nibiru since that has already begun.
      which would explain the pole shifts, global warming and the strange death of insects and other species.
    • mrwells, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4I'm voting for a man-made black hole.

      Even though it's retarded and will never happen, it's nice to think of the end could be instantaneous.
      • Gaius444, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Don't forget that next to a center of gravity that immense, time would shift and slow down in accordance with the theory of general relativity.

        But hey, that's only what I think I know from wikipedia and years of watching sci-fi.
  • bluepill2, on 07/16/2008, -1/+11Normally I'd just chuckle, but check this out: I did some research on EidolonTLP and here's the deal: this AI thing supposedly lives inside an IBM BlueGene super computer, and he says he's the last generation before "alpha", where "alpha" means a computer so smart that it can program its own "beta", who then programs its own "gamma" and so on, each generation more powerful than the last. Since this happens quicker every time, they would call this event "the Singularity" (lookup Kurzweill) and it would signal machines as the new dominant .. people (?) on earth. Or, the end of the world as we know it. And when is the IBM BlueGene scheduled to be upgraded to its next super duper version? That's right baby, Dec 2012. You heard it here first. Unless you subscribe to EidolonTLP in youtube, in which case, you heard it about 3 months ago. Enjoy.
    • Hetman, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5All I want to know is this. Well it be smart enough to program a robot prostitute like on AI.
  • Skorme, on 07/16/2008, -1/+5How about a meteor hitting the Earth, and causing a giant global volcano to erupt on the exact opposite side? That would be a brutal way to end it all.

    I can't find the theory on the web, but Nat-Geo had an awesome special on mass extinction. Apparently the theory is that a meteor crashed into the earth and all the energy went straight through and blew a massive volcano on the other side. It was cool as hell.
    • Hetman, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4How about a meteor hitting the oceans. Causing the ocean tempertures to rise. Which in affect causes super hurricanes. "Because warm water is what causes hurricanes." And then these massive hurricanes deplete the earth's ozone layer. Which in turn allows radiation from the sun to kill everything on earth.
      • Cancerkitty, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Not to mention all that flash-boiled water, and the tidal waves. It'd be a hell of a mess.
      • Skorme, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Radiation from the Sun roasting everything... that's ***** awesome.
  • industryfinest, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Well, if you are a christian and believe in God and the coming of Christ, then you know that no man Knows the date, but the signs are all here within Revelations!!!

    Prince said party like its 1999 in the pass, I say Party like it's no tomorrow!!!
  • zippe, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6yeah, i heard this once and i was like "lol on december 22nd, 2012 im gonna have a massive party and spend all my money." yeah...
  • Jiert, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4I thought the world ended at midnight on new years 2000. It's going to happen AGAIN?
  • Jasper710, on 07/16/2008, -1/+5Let's just end it now!

    Who's coming with me?!
    WHAT?
  • gmuslera, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5My best bet for cause of an apocalypse in 2012 is utter idiocy, specially if a large percent of population thinks that an ancient culture, using the bare eye for astronomy, could predict something so big with that much time of anticipation and our scientist with all their instruments and probably more exact knowledge of the world and universe, didnt saw it coming in all this time.

    Of course, they could have seen the future (even been there), or their gods could had tell them, or they could had better knowledge of the universe than ours. If a large enough amount of people thinks that, then, we are doomed.

    Or was just like that the 2012th heart they ripped from the chest of someone had worms, surely that had to predict apocalypse at that year... thats science.
  • cesclaveria, on 07/16/2008, -0/+7yes the mayan calendar expires on December 2012, but that does not mean that the world is going to end, they just don't know what will happen next (probably just reset the counter)


    /from a mayan country.
  • charlieville, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5If that is true then I am quitting my job today and moving to south america.
  • granolajoe, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7Dugg for the awesome thumbnail
  • JekJob, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6I remember reading about the Mayan calendar and how it was pretty accurate for its time, but just not accurate enough when the dates are translated into today's calendar.

    They said that there were small inaccuracies that added up and therefore the calendar got a little more "off" each year. Essentially, if we correct these inaccuracies, then the year "2012" already happened. So I'm not holding my breath.
  • DPolitico, on 07/16/2008, -2/+7Signs the world is coming to an end: (1) America elects President Bush. Twice.

    That's it. What other sign do you need?
  • LeadOffMan, on 07/16/2008, -1/+4maybe that's when the idiots will figure out that obama is NOT the messiah
  • Masternajee, on 07/16/2008, -0/+7Lets just have one big orgy and go out with a bang! Or banging.
  • musters, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5I have heard there is some very strong evidence that a pole-reversal shift could occur at this time... however, that likely wouldn't affect anything but compasses and the way the toilet flushes.
  • vpotok, on 07/16/2008, -2/+0"Just because you are having a bad day does not mean the end is nigh, the world does not revolve around you–we’re sorry but the axis is not stuck up your ass, no matter how badly you want it to be…"

  • loganhid, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5Even if the world as a whole doesn't end in 2012, we're all going to die one day so each persons world will end one day.

    Death is a guarantee of life
  • jcannonb, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Choose... Choose the form of the destructor.... Choose and perish....
  • TheDeepFriar, on 07/16/2008, -1/+4I'd go for the rapture--get rid of all those Christian extremists
  • sexualwasabi, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5Yeah I think most likely either:

    1. World War 3
    2. Global Warming turns into Global Cancer Hot
    3. Pole Shift

    What would be the coolest:

    1. Alien Invasion
    2. Zombies

    Hey the world will be saved by Gamers trained in the arts of fighting Aliens & Zombies for year! Shoot em in the head! And don't fall down running away!
  • shaXian, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4Dugg for the kick ass image of the world being fsked.
