Oh, there's no doubt about it—the world totally ended in 2012, and we've just been too distracted by memes and avocado toast to notice. Remember the Mayan calendar? Everyone was hyped up, waiting for the apocalypse, and when nothing visibly happened, we thought we were off the hook. But little did we know, that's when the simulation went off the rails, and we've been living in a glitchy, alternate timeline ever since.

Think about it: After 2012, reality started behaving like it’s on shuffle mode. First, we had Harambe—the gorilla whose unfortunate fate somehow kicked off an era of chaotic internet activism and memes. From there, the weirdness just escalated. The dress debate in 2015 nearly broke the internet, with people questioning the very fabric of reality (Was it blue and black? White and gold? Or was it all just a sign that we’ve been in the Matrix this whole time?). Then 2016 showed up like a fever dream, with celebrity deaths, political chaos, and that election.

By 2020, it was as if the simulation developers had just given up entirely. Remember how everyone was hoarding toilet paper and suddenly became experts in sourdough bread baking? We all basically lived a full season of Black Mirror with "social distancing" and Zoom calls that felt like a dystopian video game. And now we’re in an era where billionaires are racing to leave the planet, TikTok’s dictating cultural trends, and reality feels like it’s permanently on fast-forward.

Honestly, the fact that we're questioning whether we're still in the "real" world just proves that 2012 was the turning point. Maybe the Mayans were onto something—maybe their calendar wasn't predicting the end, but the point where we fell into some weird alternate dimension. It's like someone hit "New Game+" but forgot to fix the glitches before restarting the timeline. So, here we are, cruising along with UFO disclosures, people debating pineapple on pizza like it's a philosophical crisis, and every year becoming a bigger meme than the last.

In conclusion: The world as we knew it did end in 2012. Now we're just living in the blooper reel of history, trying to make sense of it all while we doomscroll through the apocalypse in style.

My house rules mean you drink when he's wrong. We all have alcohol poisoning in thr first 10 minutes.

Just for that suggestion, we are adding 2025-2.

That is a fair point, and I should clarify what I mean.

There are two options of how to interpret the the doomsayer.

1. Global ice cover, which is how I initially interpreted it as meaning, then we are truly gone.

2. Partial Ice cover, here we can interpret "we" as the current civilization, that will be gone.

I did not consider scenario 2 as much as I should have, but since the author didn't specify closer, I jumped to scenario 1 and worked from there

Generators?

Seriously?

If this is accurate, it is way, way, way too late for that.

Also how long to you believe the fuel would last?

The only somewhat reliable energy I could see powering an underground bunker for 1300 years of ice age is geothermal, but that would only save a tiny fraction of people untill the food runs out.

If this scenario is comming, we are gone, there are no ifs or buts about it.

Preparation is irrelevant: We. Are. Gone.

We have no resources to save enough people to keep going.

1300 years, let me put that into perspective:

1300 years ago was the year 724 AD, a time eighty years before the Viking age, it was during the 700s that the Mayan civilization started to decline, that is how much time we are talking about.

Generators or Frostpunk Prime Generals won't matter.

We are gone.

If this happens.
