sbl Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Quote Atomic scientists reset their symbolic "Doomsday Clock" to its closest time to midnight in 64 years on Thursday, saying the world was closer to catastrophe due to threats such as nuclear weapons, climate change and Donald Trump's election as U.S. president. The timepiece, devised by the Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and displayed on its website, is widely viewed as an indicator of the world's vulnerability to disaster. Its hands were moved to two minutes and 30 seconds to midnight, from three minutes. "The Doomsday Clock is closer to midnight than it's ever been in the lifetime of almost everyone in this room," Lawrence Krauss, the bulletin's chair, told a news conference in Washington. The clock was last set this close to midnight in 1953, marking the start of the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Thursday's reset was the first since 2015. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-science-doomsdayclock-idUSKBN15A2JJ?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=588a87a804d301465863aaa9&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter Goodbye everyone, i'll remember you all in therapy.

Katniss Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I wouldn't take this too seriously. Nobody's been able to accurately predict the end of the world and I don't see this being any different. I think this is just trying to scare people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 This article can go fuck itself for trying to create unfounded fear in people. Can I go one day without running into the word Trump on the internet? Clickbait continues to push its limit. I wish everyone who wrote a clickbait article was homeless so they'd have to get real jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbl Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Guys, it's obviously symbolic. It's based on current events. Read it before you call it fake news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Symbolically annoying. Trumpocalypse jokes are the least engaging of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
