There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory that states that this has already happened.
I mean, any lore which that have beings that were there before creation and hates the existence of reality, is a plus on my book and I’d side with them.
Blind nostalgia. Rose colored glasses make everything seem better. I’d rather have what we have now than worry about another terrorist attack to the degree of 9/11, anthrax in the mail and George W. Bush as the president.
It was fun. It was pre-smart tech and during the early Internet and things were slower and people weren’t as sensitive but things weren’t better or worse overall.
More like it removed the illusion and without the illusion our systems no longer make sense. Time for new systems but the old ones have to die and that’s gonna be a bad time.
It has been a shit show for the last 20k years, commun 70 million people died last century because a failed painter wanted to conquer the fucking world
People have been assigning arbitrary dates that the world went to shit for decades now. My favorite was the idea that the world actually did end in 2012, and everything after is some kind of moment-of-death fever dream type thing. Then that story got revived in 2016 and again in 2020.
People in the west still enjoying a life where many diseases can be cured, food is abundant, world is still 99% peaceful, you can learn anything at your fingertip, endless entertainment & porn, and human rights is a thing
"This fucking sucks lets end it."
First world problem in a nutshell. Some people don't deserve the privilege they have.
I don’t understand why a meteor is needed. If someone doesn’t like the world the way it is, they have options. Let the rest of us who are still enjoying ourselves be.
Zeebrox - "Call just came down, the Human Experiment is done, gone too far off the rails. No one believe it's real anymore."
Glabbint - "We're cancelled? Oh, thank god! I'm going to need years of therapy after seeing this shit. I'll go spin up the mass driver, go find an asteroid. A BIG one."
So many of the most popular movies and series are based in some root of apocalypse or societal collapse-why might this be? It’s almost like the vast majority of people resonate with the idea that a big reset would equalize opportunity and allow average people to have a chance at something better. You know the powers that be have fucked up completely when the end of the world looks not only appealing, but possibly our only true hope.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
I’m pretty sure this is refering to this:
In 2019 astronomers were predicting that we had ten years before a potentially world ending asteroid would hit the planet. Even bill nye was in on planning diversion. People were genuinely tweaking. Turns out it’s gonna miss us very narrowly
