They're saying it was an internet myth.

That and it was supposed to be the mayan god of war and creation's great passage into the earth for a new era.

Hmm..what to say...

 

 

 

WE TOLD YOU SO! WE TOLD YOU SO!

So what, you're just going to assume that the Mayans didn't plan for their calendar to end like that? Seems far to coincidental. I think you're just making stuff up now, or are you some kind of Mayan expert?

 

Dude, why are you being so aggressive?

 

I'm not saying that the Mayans DIDN'T plan for their calender to end there. I'm saying that they DID, because that's when the Mesoamerican Long Count calender ends. Not because something's happening, but because that date marks the final day of the 13th b'ak'tun, which is when the calender runs its course, and starts a new cycle. Again, like how OUR calenders end after a 365 day period, and start a new cycle.

 

And yes, I've done some studying on the Mayans before. I don't claim at all to be an "expert", but I know a bit.

like how they said that the world will end in 2000?? sir, there was no need for an article. everyone should know that it wouldn't happen just because someone said it would lol

Well if you put it that way, then yes I am calling you a nutjob. Not because of your beliefs, but because you'll always try to go against the popular opinion, no matter how logical or correct the popular opinion is.

 

Each day more and more evidence is going against the bullshit doomsday theories. Most of this evidence is simple common sense. Why did the Mayans stop making calendars? Maybe it's because Spanish conquistadors arrived and proceeded to kill all the men, rape the women and finally burned the cities down. Maybe that's why the stopped making calendars? But knowing the logic of doomsayers you'd probably say "but the survivors could of hid underground and kept making calendars out of their feces!

 

But I digress, believe in whatever you want. I'll just be laughing when nothing happens. Maybe some star alignment or something will appear but considering that a modern civilization can't predict doomsday events with certainty, I doubt a civilization that never got past the bronze- age can.

There was a crack in the stone, deeming the last passage unintelligible. Nothing changed really, people just took the crack in a superstitious way.

 

OK, I'm stopping now. I'm kinda of surprised and disappointed by how seriously everybody took this.

Time for backstory.

When I saw this topic, I saw it was full of people saying 'I KNEW this was fake' as if that was something special. I figured I'd make a sarcastic post claiming I believed the whole thing. I figured it would be obvious, but apparently not. People reacted angrily t that. Seeing this, I figured I'd make it into a satire of myself, defending my opinion based on aggressive jump tactics while clinging to impractical logic.

Still people took it seriously.

So I... uh... kind of... accidentally trolled you guys... only a little...

That's why I'm stopping now, before things get crazy.

Meh, 7/10, good effort but not lulzy enough

If I can get a 7/10 by accident, I'm better at this then I thought.

Perhaps it's time to start looking at career options.

If you believed in it, it's clear you want to die.

im printing it out to show they small amount of believers at my skool on monday

ew believers ._.

The world ends when God says so, not when some random person says so.

AHAHAHAHA SOOO MANY PEOPLE THAT OWE ME MONEY NOW!

We needed a news article to confirm that it was bullshit?

 

That's it, I'm going to become an astronaut and going to move to Mars.

 

Dibs on all of Saturn's moons! Didn't we have a 20-page argument about why you can't live on mars?

 

So, it's actually the day the God of creation and war is supposed to come. That doesn't sound apocalyptic at all.

Moving to mars is an elaborate form of suicide.

sherlock!!! this end of world thing is so lame! I mean, who could possibly want it to end, if there is still someone who wants it to continue and go on...

Damn it, you stole my joke.

No, the world ends with you

It's nice to see that Fred and baylust win at yet again, ANOTHER debate.

 

Although I never believed that shit, and i'm agonostic.
