Take your pick if you want to get hyped for the end of the world. Millions of people have preceded you in expecting it to happen in a particular time. And the above doesn't even list all of them. People always like to think their own particular time and age will somehow be more relevant than the other, however. They like to  think themselves relevant like that.

Thats true Koz, but most of the world endings have been religiously motivated and made up by people using logic, with incomplete knowledge.

Not that science is always right either, and many things are predicted. But if they got data behind it, its atleast more likely.

I had a feeling someone would bring up the religion argument into this, considering how easy it is to bash on those. However, bear in mind religion has been to people what science is to us now, for well over millennia. It can hold just as many truths, or falsifications, as science still does in present day. You certainly can't say science or even reason has been right about everything thus far, bearing in mind how many times people have changed their minds about environmental consequences or the impact of certain industries (or how some media choose to remain blind to some of the worst offenders for that matter). Or heck, even Einstein on quantum physics.

Anyway, the point was that everything thinks they're the final generation, but something tells me we needn't worry all that much that we'll be any more special than our previous generation (which was far closer to an all-out nuclear war than we'll ever be, so I think we should be okay for now).

Oh I disagree with most of your points, but agree that we likely don't have to worry 'bout much but the climate change. That is atleast one subject at which there's loads of evidence that majority of scientific fields agree on. Evidence mounting from more than just climate scientists.

Kozgugore

No worries, I didn't expect to brighten you up or anything. There's no changing the opinion of people who are dead set in their militant attitude towards religion these days anyway. x3

*Dramatic faint* Deadset and militant? I am truly hurt, so truly.

But! To keep up with the picture theme, sort of.

Some say he knows only of one type of pie, and that he wakes up Kozgugore every morning. All we know is he’s called Devilstep.

I'm worried by the potential context hinted at by those two items in unity. However, i am imrpessed by your dedication.
