Doomsday Clock 2024 Predictions

[AdahnGorion]

Hi everybody

Lets make a "fun" little prediction thread about the Doomsday Clock.
For those that don´t know what it is.

The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making. It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.

When the Doomsday Clock was created in 1947, the greatest danger to humanity came from nuclear weapons, in particular from the prospect that the United States and the Soviet Union were headed for a nuclear arms race. The Bulletin considered possible catastrophic disruptions from climate change in its hand-setting deliberations for the first time in 2007.

It is currently 90 seconds to midnight


I will award the one with the closest guess (being first with an unedited post wins over others) and also just other funny, smart or well just random ones tbh.

My prediction.

It will be 65 secounds to midnight in 2024. Why? well because of all the conflicts happening and major issues with the enviroment.



At the end here, I just want to say. Please be friendly to everybody and repsect the various guesses and reason why.

I don't get the clock, honestly.

Midnight is destruction. Ok. What is the other reference point? Is there another reference point? How am I supposed to interpret one second? Is 90 seconds to midnight close, or far? What's the earliest the clock has ever been set? What was the world like then? Why was that point, that point and not, like 12:01 AM? What's the point of having a span of twelve hours if only the last couple of minutes are ever used?

If it's going to happen they won't call it doomsday.

They will call it the great reset, the next big chapter, the future. It's going to sound positive.

I think it's good because it's positive. :erune:

As I understand it, they'll call it "OH SHI--"

[ARGH!!]

Do people really take these doom predictions serious? Doomsday clocks from the 40s? Mayan calendars from 1000 years ago? 12 years if we don't give all our money to green energy corporations invested in by Al Gore? Might as well by the guy on a street corner preaching about an impending rapture. It all ends up being BS in the end anyway.
