The Doomsday Clock - It's Official

[Bernard The Gurnard]

It's now the closest it's ever been to midnight.

Midnight means nuclear Armageddon and in 2023 it was 90 seconds from midnight.

Time to get a cuppa on.

[Kapitein Gnapmans]

It's 10:47AM. Very far away from midnight.

If they push it forward just a tiny bit more than what's needed to make it hit midnight, it'll basically go back to the beginning.

Does anyone actually take that doomsday clock ♥♥♥♥ seriously?

[Bernard The Gurnard]

It's a metaphor for Armageddon. It's simply an indicator for comparison.

"What is the Doomsday Clock?

The clock has been maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists since 1947. The group was founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who had helped develop the first nuclear weapons in the Manhattan Project."

ahh yes, the crazies come out to play with the doomsday clock and Putin's secret WW3 plans, etc.

every time we go through one of these they never turn out true and the crazies always have egg on their face.

Has the world already ended. Is there any example to compare with?

I'm surprised to read there are few here believe this scenario can or will happen.

[Walach]

All hail the clock of doom. Bow before it does more evil! Quickly! :O

[Vox]

We are getting bombed by nuclear weapons, quick get into the bunker.

Hold on, I need to change the Doomsday clock to midnight, to make it official.

[Bernard The Gurnard]

I have tea and biscuits if you want to come round to my shelter.

I never imagined to be musked by the ecologists. What keep us warmth in these cold winter nights is a sack of coal

Hey guys, I got an idea...
Lets just make something called a Doomsday Clock just because and watch people squirm.
