I hate the pseudoscienctist Graham Hancock.
Fun fact, he predicted (it was a couched prediction, but a prediction) that the world would end in 2012. He wants people to forget that.

I assumed Y2K ended the world since that would explain the shared hallucination of the Bush administration.
Really it was Dec 21 2012 when MIT researchers observed Herbertsmithite exhibiting a quantum spin liquid behavior, and observing a new kind of magnetism for the first time. The observation caused a cascade of quantum probabilities to collapse, wherein our timeline has begun to “zipper” with the timeline for a quantum lineage of opposing spins. The two timelines will annihilate each other at the end of the Unixtime Epoch on Jan 19 2038 at 03:14:47 UTC.
This was communicated to me by the Enonoki who built Gobekle Tepe. They telepathically influenced the jitter in my screen refresh rate and metasyntactically programmed the information into my RNA, to be unlocked as a core memory by Wifi 6 resonance.
Of course, then there was the time that the COVID vaccine killed us all.
And 5G. You forgot 5G.
You’re both wrong.
“Remedial Chaos Theory” is the fourth episode of the third season of the American television series Community. The episode was written by Chris McKenna and directed by Jeff Melman. It originally aired on October 13, 2011"
There is currently [1] Graham Hancock downvoting even though it aligns with his theory.
I honestly think this.
Oh, come on. He’s hilarious to watch so you can play bullshit bingo
My house rules mean you drink when he’s wrong. We all have alcohol poisoning in thr first 10 minutes.
It IS true! The Earth WILL pass in front of the same Taurid meteor stream in 2032!
In fact, the Earth WILL pass in front of the same Taurid meteor stream in 2031! And 2030, and '29, '28, '27, '26, '25 and '24!
That’s way too many times for civilization to collapse. Can we skip a year?
Just for that suggestion, we are adding 2025-2.
We should have listened to the warning delivered by the elder Millennials
Those Göbekli Tepi vultures play a mean game of basketball, they are our only hope for SpaceAirJamBud 3
Everyone should listen to Aldi-brand Bill Maher.
Sigh if only this guy was not a deluded person and meteors did end humanity. We deserve it so much.
Ok, say that this is true, what should we do to prevent it?
Because I can’t see humanity surviving an ice age of 1300 years.
Even if we find shelter, what would we eat?
I can’t see any way out of a scenario like this, and since if this is true it is a true inevitabillity we have zero reason to panic since it won’t help.
I can’t see humanity surviving an ice age of 1300 years
Again, you mean?
That is a fair point, and I should clarify what I mean.
There are two options of how to interpret the the doomsayer.
-
Global ice cover, which is how I initially interpreted it as meaning, then we are truly gone.
-
Partial Ice cover, here we can interpret “we” as the current civilization, that will be gone.
I did not consider scenario 2 as much as I should have, but since the author didn’t specify closer, I jumped to scenario 1 and worked from there
-
Either we start building Generators and elect a Captain a la Frostpunk, or we all die.
As for me, the work won’t complete itself, and those people sure as fuck ain’t doing theirs.
Generators?
Seriously?
If this is accurate, it is way, way, way too late for that.
Also how long to you believe the fuel would last?
The only somewhat reliable energy I could see powering an underground bunker for 1300 years of ice age is geothermal, but that would only save a tiny fraction of people untill the food runs out.
If this scenario is comming, we are gone, there are no ifs or buts about it.
Preparation is irrelevant: We. Are. Gone.
We have no resources to save enough people to keep going.
1300 years, let me put that into perspective:
1300 years ago was the year 724 AD, a time eighty years before the Viking age, it was during the 700s that the Mayan civilization started to decline, that is how much time we are talking about.
Generators or Frostpunk Prime Generals won’t matter.
We are gone.
If this happens.
It’s a joke, lad. It’s not that deep.
