End of the world

Seriously, what’s up? Do we need an end of the world each week? In 1999, with the Y2K bug, it was kinda cool, but 3 apocalypses, 2 Armageddons and 4 movies about them later, It’s really getting boring.

First, the general public. Nobody believes in this. It’s just funny. Seeing what some crazy people say and do makes you feel grateful you are mentally sane. But now – it just stopped being funny. With a lot of ends of the world happening lately (should we click ‘attend’ on facebook?), I get the impression the crazy people are getting more and merrier. Based on the exponential growth in the number of news about EOW, I calculate that the actual EOW, when the number of crazy people will be greater than the number of sane people, is going to happen on {{ insert whatever date you fancy here }}.

Second, the media. They’re just craving for audience. Clicks. Views. Comments. Well, enough! I don’t want to know about any EOW. I’m even gonna put an “end of the world’ filter in my ad blocker. Hopefully, everybody will act the same and the journalists will stop this nonsense and find a new-but-stupid thing to write about. And hoping to have objective and serious news… right.

Third, the crazy run-for-your-life-the-world-is-going-to-end people. Most of these people are actually crazy (not the guy that starts the rumors, he’s in it for the money), so it’s a lot more serious than the previous 2 cases. But, since there’s nothing I can do to help them and they don’t hurt nobody (except maybe emotionally scaring their kids), we can just ignore them.

So, tip of the day: Live like there’s no tomorrow, but don’t go EOWy on me, because I’m gonna ignore you.
