• From a solar flare to nuclear war, MailOnline looks at ways the world could end
• A wandering black hole and reversal of Earth's magnetic field may also trigger it

From Armageddon to the Day After Tomorrow, there have been plenty of Hollywood movies about how our world might end.

But if there is to be a global apocalypse, what might be to blame for wiping out all life on Earth?

Nothing will happen for 20 million years so who cares.

Very Occidental perspective. 

End times. Make believe.

 

 

Terribly negative.

Those who will be living 20 million years from now?

The world won't end but the people will. They're working on it now with Russia.

‘This is the way the world ends’, T. S. Eliot tells us at the end of his 1925 poem, ‘The Hollow Men’: ‘not with a bang but a whimper.’ 

What some people call the "climate emergency" is nowhere on that list...

One wouldn't expect it to be. The article is from the daily mail.

I own the button.  I dare not push it yet.

Some say that AI will turn us in (short of Atomic wars). Some say, that AI will never be able to apply "human common sense". Looking around me, I find that "human common sense" has vanished already, without the "help" of AI. How can you take something away that is already gone?

Pakistan and India go to war  egged on by Chinese support for Pakistan and it goes nuclear  very quickly

It really already has. Our rights as individuals and freedoms are being stripped away year by year. If you are 55+ think back on how open and free we were. We're already living in prison planet.

 

Your money is worth nothing. In early 70s a big candy bar was 5 US cents. In Thailand where snacks are expensive a small candy bar costs 27b or thereabouts I don't buy them. Better part of an entire dollar. Wages largely stagnant over 2.5 decades or more.

 

After digital currency rammed down our throats it's really game over. Wondering if they will place export control on it? Send us all back home...

 

Post y2k you could probably draw a line in the sand. Life and post-life. I'm glad I'm not a kid.

 

At least Thailand so corrupt that we will always have cash.

 

Western cities falling apart.

 

War is made on pretense.

 

It may also end thru a slow, deadly malaise of incompetence as woke replaces competence. Only so many quotas before it implodes. That's just a fact.

 

Due to plummeting birth rates I believe babies will be birthed and raised by the state. Not all, but most. Upper middle, middle class what's left have all but stopped giving birth. Drugs, porn, woke antagonist rubbish manipulation between the sexes, diet, health and weight, unrealistic expectations...debt and more debt

 

I see a three tier caste system. The elite, two levels of servants. Life will be very harsh for those alive 10-15 years from now. Governments will be insane about revenue collection and authoritarian control. 

 

Possible, but I doubt we'll get tracking chips for some time. You can be tracked on mobile devices and electronic purchases well enough.

My guess is Biden in a usual haze will pick up the wrong phone to order a pizza

Forgetting a large with everything is code for a  full launching of the nukes ????

That ended in 2020 with covid.

If I could tell you the exact date, time and reason it was all to end, would you want to know?

Even if you crossed out million I wouldn't bank on it. 20M years, any and all of the above.

Yes I would.

I could not open the list but I believe one should include (if not yet happened):

1. Uncontrollable Implementation of AI - we are already more advanced to a catastrophe than many might think. And I believe I am quite reasonable and not a conspiracy enthusiast.

2. Viruses (has nothing to do with Covid, I predicted that decades ago and I still do). See as well the film "13 Monkeys" - only one possible scenario.

3. In some years time, the sun will blow up beyond the earths orbit. This will definitely be it and this cannot be reversed. But I doubt we will make it until then.

World economic collapse. AAPL (Apple) market capitalisation is now more than the whole Russell 2000 index.

Can't believe the validity of any list that missed 'Zombie Apocalypse'.

The Earth will be (or already was) destroyed by the Vogons, to make way for a galactic highway. It will happen on a Thursday.

Doom & Gloom sells

Keeping it topical ............  everyday

The only credible apocalypse that I see on the horizon is an apocalypse of boredom.

the world will end when every single booger in this forum is dead and gone

Yes

 

I would want to put a humdinger of a holday on my CC and laugh like a lunatic as I maxed it out.

Christians believe that the world will end with a battle between good and evil, and that this will happen in northern Israel

 

let's hope that the head of Hezbollah doesn't read this

 

In Christian apocalyptic literature, Mount Megiddo, the hill overlooking the valley, is identified as the site of the final battle between the forces of good and evil at the end of time, known as Armageddon and mentioned in the New Testament in Revelation 16:16.

I'm guessing the last person will simply turn the lights off.🙃🙃
