The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

People so often have thought the rapture was coming and ... it doesn't. How often can people be fooled? Why are they so gullible ... oh yeah, religion.

To be entirely fair, we are like 2 cubic meters of carbon dioxide away from total ecological collapse. Made-made climate change is now beyond any threshold where we previously had reasonable expectations of being able to prevent it. The oceans will rise, climate catastrophes will increase, and the world will become more hostile.

It kind of feels like were frogs in a boiling pot, and we're living though the apocalypse now. But the wifi still works, so scroll on and don't think about it too much.

Yeah I mean things are definitely going to shit but these people whole heartedly believe that they’re going to float into the sky naked and have to make sure there’s a Democrat assigned to take care of their pets after they’re gone

Yep, and their belief is a danger to literally everyone who does or will ever live on Earth.
