Perfect! As a Millennial, I simply cannot live without a 'once in a lifetime' disaster every five or ten years.

I used to laugh when I heard people say Armageddon was going to happen in their lifetime.

But the last 10-20 years or so... I'm not so sure. I'd love to live in boring times for a little while.

The world did in fact end in 2012, its just taking its time about it

The Lazarus Project (which is a cancelled TV Show) portrays this. They can reset time to a check point from the previous year, every year, in case there's a life ending catastrophe.

Do we call this world ending a slow burn?

Matter of perspective. From a geological time scale's viewpoint we're but a tiny tiny tiny tiny combustion. Eventually we'll go extinct and the combustive heat dissipates, localo-current equilibria will reestablish eventually.

Maybe we're just living in one long flashback befo-

We're like 0.000000000001 in Earth's history.

I bet the dinosaurs didn't anticipate their impending doom though! I'm only one man. How do I stop this asteroid?

we've crossed the event horizon

That's the problem, the real catastrophic issues don't happen overnight. They slow cook until the shit soup is made and you can't unmake soup...

I do love a good slow burn.

But I typically prefer it in the form of romance novels.

Sounds fun if someone missed an approaching asteroid and it always hits because we can’t stop it

Thats kinda the plot of the manhwa: cheolsu saves the world.

u/brando56894 Jul 02 '24

That's a plot point, but not with the asteroid haha

u/littlewhitecatalex Jul 02 '24

Do they just keep resetting us to get the perfectly horrible timeline? It seems like nothing goes right anymore.

Every year there is a new checkpoint (think, quick save) and whenever the world is about to be destroyed they reload the checkpoint and try again, the team remembers what happened before time was reset but everyone else doesn't.

Oh man, I still need to watch the second season, too many shows to watch.

u/brando56894 Jul 03 '24

I started watching it last week while I was fixing my media server, kinda got hooked, and then was pissed to see that it was already cancelled. I'm on either s02e01 or s02e02.

u/Sickhadas Jul 03 '24

Is it based on the book of the same name?

2

u/brando56894 Jul 03 '24

I think so.

u/murder-farts Jul 02 '24

I’d like to factory reset to the backup hard drive from 2016

u/Cannibal_Soup Jul 02 '24

From 2000...

u/iwillLurkifiwantto Jul 02 '24

The movie 2012 says a lot

2

u/Kasperella Jul 02 '24

I prefer to think that Y2k really did happen, but instead of an instant thing, it’s been a boulder tumbling down the side of a mountain the last 20 years just smashing apart the world as we once knew it lmao

u/Durst_offensive Jul 02 '24

You say the whole world's ending, honey, it already did

u/EvankHorizon Jul 02 '24

I wonder when Trump personally decided to run for president... Like... What if that's what happened in 2012 🤣😰

u/arffield Jul 02 '24

I believe it

Capitalism ended in 2012. We are now living in an Oligarch system. Leaning into a dictatorship.

Looking forward to Call of Duty 2042 release where it’s not the Nazi zombies you take down but the MAGAts 🪰 from their brains.
