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? :(

There WASN'T an armageddon!?
Dammit, i took a loan from every bank and blew it all in one night. And i have a massive headache.
 
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

They'll be like,"WHERE THE HELL DID MY APOCALYPSE GO TO?"
 
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.
 
17:54 here in England now. No signs of the world splitting in half yet.

...Surprise surprise.
 
nobody will predict/expect it when it comes..
If there ever comes a day. hehe
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.
 
never heard of the elastic band theory. tut tut :p

Plus all it takes is for our scientists to screw up and poof they create a black hole in the ground which eats us for breakfast :(

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:
 
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...

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.

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Good stuff.
