Never go full 2012

The fact that Koney was going on like 20 years before the internet blew up with all the virtue signaling (in 2012) tells you all you need to know about the internet and people virtue signaling.


Also, in on EOD thread.

Pluto is in Saggitarius or something.

Lol, that was the first "viral" thing I remember happening, but by the next year no one cared about it.

I think we potentially merged timelines or social media explosion literally created a different reality for us

Also look into the impact that the Smith Mundct act 2012 had on America

2011 was nothing like 2012 and beyond srs

2012 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act

This is right around when reddit started going very pro censorship and shifted radically towards the left.

Dead serious. Reddit used to be entirely different than how it is now.

No, the Mayans predicted this

but everyone just shrugged it off since the world did not “end”

Well the real theories were based on the Mayan Calendar and consciousness/time but the mainstream theory was some catastrophic event which was never actually going to happen

People thought all of those people were crazy back then though

An “event” can be anything. It doesn’t have to be something extravagant or catastrophic but just enough to change everything.

What ever happened to kony?

It was the end of days as we know it bro

The Mayans were amazing astronomers. Their calendar was based on astronomical events (not too unlike ours).

On 21 Dec 2012, there was a type of eclipse sometimes called a dark rift. It is very anticlimactic. On that day, the Sun appeared to rise in the center of the Milky Way galaxy from our perspective. Due to a gyroscopic characteristic known as axial precession, as the Earth rotates on its axis, it creates a type of wobbling effect. Think of a top wobbling as it spins. This wobbling takes just shy of 26,000 years to complete one cycle. The Mayan calendar ended at the end of one of those cycles in the same way our calendar ends at some arbitrary point on the Earths orbit.

That is all. Any type of sentiment added to the end of the Mayan calendar, other than the fact they were amazing astronomers, is made up nonsense based on no real information.

But you subscribe to astrology. Soooo...
