Inhabitants of New Zealand, scheduled to be among the first to meet the apocalypse according to a US fundamentalist preacher, this morning confirmed they were still in existence as the appointed time was reached in their time zone.

There were also unconfirmed reports that Tonga has, thus far, failed to boil into the Pacific.

Eighty-nine-year-old tele-evangelist Harold Camping had prophesied that the “Rapture” would begin with powerful earthquakes at 6pm in each of the world’s regions, after which the good would be beamed up to heaven.

This morning, Kiwis confirmed there were no signs of the dead rising from the grave, nor of the living ascending into the clouds to meet Jesus Christ.

Twitter users were disappointed by the absence of Armaggedon.

I sold my house yesterday thinking I wouldn't need it, and spent all the money on last minute partying. Any help guys? :(

i wonder what would be going through the minds of people who honestly believed apocalypse would occur

i can imagine it would be very humorous

I heard there's a specific race of people who actually believe in the world ending every few years.
They're called 'idiots'.

Courtesy reply.
Matthew 24:36 (AMP)
But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Just read the verses either side of that where it repeats over and over how it will take everybody by surprise, and nobody will predict/expect it when it comes...
... and never think the Bible says the end of the world is on day x, anyone who says the bible even suggests a year is a fool.

Well, we cannot escape some climate change. that's another matter.
But the world and the universe will never end. Never has never will.

its pretty easy to predict these things because nobody is able to prove you wrong.

HA!
So, you haven't been rapetured? Well, I have some bad news for you, you weren't on the list. Simple as that.



Just in case you're still wondering where that... "prediction" is coming from, here's the fully logical explanation.
With clear facts like:
- since this Bible calendar is given by God in His Word, it can be trusted wholeheartedly
- the flood of Noah’s day occurred in the year 4990 BC. This date is completely accurate
- ...

Sounds so simple even you should get it.


But, of course, let's not forget the Real Deal:
Those who aren’t saved in the May 21 Rapture will be left behind after Doomsday ... for the final five months until ... October 21st..
If nothing else, you can buy the "I survived ..." T-shirt for a mere $20.40 :nuts:

So if we assign a day to every human being and keep assigning days where each person believes it will end on that day god will be forced to keep postponing it until people stop predicting? cuz if he deosnt then that 1 person predicted it.

> Just in case you're still wondering where that... "prediction" is coming from, here's the fully logical explanation.
"7 BC—The year Jesus Christ was born (11,006 years from creation).
33 AD—The year Jesus Christ was crucified and the church age began (11,045 years from creation; 5023 calendar years from the flood)."
Is there something about BC/AD that I don't know? :confused:

Even so, nice find.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
