The adjective Mayan is sometimes used to refer to the indigenous peoples of parts of Mexico
~ You won't even know what hit you all ~In just about every apocalypse scenario, we will.
It is the end of the Mayan calendar.
But it still raises the question of how far the calendar we use today goes. It's simply a question of how lazy the person is, and how far ahead they decide to figure out the dates for. Computers kind of make it irrelevant for us, because we can go any number of years into the future, it doesn't even matter. But back then, they had to stop counting somewhere, you know? To believe that they actually CHOSE a specific date to stop because it was the end of the world, as opposed to just stopping because "eh, that's like 2000 years into the future, that's far enough for now" is pretty gullible. The fact that the Mayan calendar is even older only supports my point.That's the best explanation for the end of the calendar.
Then again, I don't have all the information, this isn't really my subject. But still.
Did any of you actually see the Mayan calendar? It's not a thing that just comes to an end arbitrarily.How is Dec 21, 2012 NOT an arbitrary date? What is that, a Tuesday? Spoooooky.
It's arbitrary to you, because you know nothing of other ways of dating and timing things than what you were raised with, and what our society teaches. Time is an invention of man, and just because one group of people decides that December 21, or any other date is arbitrary, doesn't make it so for other people. Think of July 4th, and how it doesn't mean anything to Australians. What I'm trying to say is that words and numbers are just ideas. Do you understand what I mean?Hehe, yeah, I do understand what you're saying. Honestly, I thought you were just playing devil's advocate, because you don't strike me as the type to buy into this kind of thing, so that last post was just me trying to be funny.
here I was expecting a discussion about the up and coming movie.\Well, the movie looks great...
It looks sub-par, in case you were wondering.
Dec. 21 2012 is my 22nd birthday.O_O

Coincidence? Wow.
I gotta remember to post a happy birthday or something on Dec. 21
I see it this way. Everyone dies, eventually. What can you do to stop it? Not a damned thing.I sorta feel that way, except I think death is just as beautiful as life. Leaving all your problems behind and taking your memories of loved ones with you :)
what? lol. the movie? that was on television tonight... i was watching it kinda while typing my paper.Also yes
I sorta feel that way, except I think death is just as beautiful as life. Leaving all your problems behind and taking your memories of loved ones with you :)That is a beautiful way of looking at death, IMO.
Bit of a revival. Some new information that I heard. Sometime in 2012 there's a scheduled super solar storm. There was one back in like...the 1850's that they called the 'Perfect Solar Storm' but apparently this one has been long coming and due to be intense. In the 1850's it didn't matter worth a shit since the only technology affected by it was the telegraph. You can see where this is going, so if half the world loses all electric power, I suppose we're fucked in a way. Not really the end of the world, but surely fucked hard for a long time and it'd be a long time before we recover from it. It's not an end of the world theory like epic explosions and shit, but more like we'd go back into the dark ages instantly and people all over the world would bitch and cry like a fucking baby and that's why it would suck. World wide EMP blast. BOOOSHHH. lol.

My Mac's date and time setting only goes up to the year 2037. I guess that's when the Apple company will die out.Quoting an old post but there is actually a reason for that and its similar to the problem we encountered with Y2K.Spoiler for:
The problem affects all software and systems that store system time as a signed 32-bit integer, and interpret this number as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970Send out a patch that changes the year that it started, lol. Didn't they have to deal with something like this in Y2K? You'd think they noted where the time/dates were stored. :P
The difference between the Y2k and Y2k38 problem is that the Y2k was primarily broke uis where as Y2k38 has a much higher chance of causing problems in the back-end.
Considering all the darned legacy code in existence today I'll make the prediction that there will still exist systems using 32bit integers for storing dates.
what 2038 now too?Y2K38 problem
2012 + 2038 = 4050correct
2012 + 2038 = 4050/me slowly claps
The end of the world won't probably happen on the said dates, but if we, humans, continue to pollute and abuse our world, it would happen soon.
And the sad fact is, we ourselves lead the world towards its end.
It's ok. I would have stopped working on the calendar after documenting 5126 years, or 1,870,990 days, too.
Yer know we humans have so little evolution left in us. We've stopped adapting to our environment and started adapting our environment to fit our needs. We seem to be pretty damn good at it too, so I doubt we're going to kill our race. We may be short sighted but we're definitely not blind.
It's far more likely that we will just turn into scavengers and the world will reset its cycle of evolution from monkey to man.
Why are you referencing Caesari think he contributed to the making of the calender.
Caesar was Supreme Overlord of the Mayans. That's why he had to hire Che Guevara and Louis XIV to help him write the calendar out, so he could carry on his overlord duties. Christ, open a history textbook once in a while.
That's why it ends in 2012. Louis XIV had a tattoo on his left butt cheek that said 122112 and during a sponge bath he decided he'd just quit the calendar then.
this plausible fake theory gonna fuck up ur life. its completely bullshit without any scientific evidences. nobody really believes that.
