The Splainer: Will the world end on Saturday?

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Short answer — no.
But David Meade, a Christian and self-published author of end-of-the-world survival guides, predicts doomsday is near — very near, as in this Saturday (Sept. 23).

To read more, and I would recommend not waiting until Saturday:

If the world does not end this particular Saturday, one can always read the article on Sunday.

1. That's why I'm going to party like it's 1999 on Friday!

[guillaumeb]

2. This is 1999.

What year do you think that it is?

[democratisphere]

3. Thought it already had ended; now we're just spinning down.

[guillaumeb]

4. So much mass would take a while to stop.

In that case, is gravity lessening? And if it is, are we all becoming lighter?

[trotsky]

5. Gravity does not depend on the earth rotating. n/t

[Act_of_Reparation]

6. Shhhhhh.

I want to see where he goes with this.

[trotsky]

7. LOL

We can ask him about magnets next.

[guillaumeb]

9. See #8.

Perhaps reread it.

[Act_of_Reparation]

14. What grows crooked you can't make straight.

[guillaumeb]

15. A philosopher now?

Congratulations. Or was this inside of a fortune cookie?

[Act_of_Reparation]

16. I found it in a physics text book. Prefacing the chapter on gravity.

J/K, it's a Thom Yorke song.

[guillaumeb]

17. I prefer lighter topics.

[Act_of_Reparation]

18. Better.

Next week, I will explain the proper deployment of a rubber chicken.

[guillaumeb]

19. Is this a fowl attempt at humor on your part?

Or an attempt to duck the issue?

[Act_of_Reparation]

20. Puns?

You're expelled.

[guillaumeb]

8. A joke is only a joke if the reader is aware.

Perhaps DU should have a special joke font?

[Act_of_Reparation]

10. If the joke has a punchline, you don't need a font.

[guillaumeb]

11. Some jokes require a punchline.

Unless you are the official joke definer at DU, of course.

[Act_of_Reparation]

13. Well, I'm convinced.

In retrospect, I see now that your post is simply an avant-garde joke consisting of two factually false premises lacking a definable punchline. Much humorous. Very laugh. You obviously know a lot about gravity.

[trotsky]

12. Oh yeah, you've pulled that lame stunt before.

'Uh huh huh, it was only a joke bro.'

Fail.

[AtheistCrusader]

21. And if you have to explain it, it wasn't funny.

[guillaumeb]

22. Or,

you simply did not understand it.

[AtheistCrusader]

23. This much is obvious. Show of hands of people who DID understand it?

[trotsky]

28. The silence is deafening.

According to g, that must mean everybody's stupid. Except him.

[pokerfan]

24. Got it

[guillaumeb]

25. Whew!!

[Sneederbunk]

26. It will definitely end for some.

[bobbieinok]

27. Jim Bakker, guests going crazy about this

Many videos on youtube of different Evangelicals explaining the Revelations prophecy.

Esp 'fun' to watch John Shorey on Jim Bakker show this week explaining how the recent hurricanes are the 'water's breaking' that precedes birth. (Rev verses describe constellatons lining up to depict birth, or so he and others interpret it.)

[guillaumeb]

33. Completely off topic:

What if Jim Bakker spelled his name Jim BaKKKer. Could he be the official court pastor for Trump?

[bobbieinok]

34. He's working to get there

[No Vested Interest]

29. Does anyone know at which hour the "end" will come? Midnight? Noon? evening?

I need to know when to stop holding my breath.

[Bradical79]

30. And which time zone...

It's already Saturday some places lol.

[No Vested Interest]

31. You're correct! Guess breath-holding will have to continue until Hawaii sees the

dawn of Sunday!

[guillaumeb]

32. Someone might know, but I am not that someone.

As of 9.07 CST I am still here.
