Sounds like you will be absolutely fine so long as you keep it with you at all times :laugh:

I'd forgotten about the end of the world until now, its the missus' birthday tomorrow too so don't be surprised if the end of the world is delayed until Saturday ;)

Is it going to be in GMT? Who's time is it going to be in so I can set my alarm?

It will occur at the stroke of midnight in each timezone, so if you want to live longer, move to the country that is the furthest behind and watch all the other countries exploding one by one until it reaches you ;)

I'm just going to keep setting my phone to the previous day, that should stave off the end of the world :p

I think I'll just set my phone rather then running from country to country.

Well that's sort of the point. People think that 21st December will be the end of the world because this is when the Mayan Calendar stops. What people choose to ignore is that the Mayans had three separate calendars, and the calendar that has people scared (the long count calendar) is actually just finishing a cycle in the same way that our Gregorian calendar finishes a cycle once a year. There is no mention of the end of the long count calendar's cycle being the end of the world.

Infomation about the Mayan Calendar.

Like Intrinsica said and then they have all sort of scenarios, for example a polar shift, which scientists have said by the way is impossible according to the layout of the continents. Oh and some say that some long lost planet will collide with the earth and then there are solar flares and so on so on!

Why 11:11PM ?

Surely 12:12am or 12:21am would be better, or 21:12

my thoughts exactly

or even 12:00 for the end of the calendar or something (or would that be 00:00)

Don't know about end of the world, but I am so taking a picture of the clock at 21/12 21:12 lol

also did it at 12/12/12 12:12 because Im sad

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!

      This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.

      illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
