Maybe or maybe you don’t remember Y2K, but that was the date that all the computers were supposed to freak out and the world was going to come to a crashing end.
It’s complicated but in a nutshell, when computer programmers were setting things up, shortsightedly they only left two spots for the year instead of four. Supposedly this was bad, bad, bad. Because 2000 and on, how would they record that? Ooops!
Lots of money was spent. They must have figured things out because well, it never happened.
Kinda like the other day, huge dire predictions, and now look at us — still here!
I wonder when the next end of the end will be? Anybody want to take a guess?
(Bonus question: Can anyone explain HOW they fixed Y2K ? I am curious…)
Notes From a Red Pill Girl 
I can’t say when the end will be, but I can tell you how.
It’s not common knowledge that scalar weapons exist and they can cause volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, but it is true and about 15 countries have this capability. The first serious admission was Sec. of Defense William Cohen, back in 1997. More recently we had an Israeli minister mention it:

If Cumbre Vieja in the Canary Islands has a major earthquake, it will send a massive piece of rock into the ocean. The rock measures about 22 km by 14 km by 1.5 km. 6 hours after that happens the East Coast of the US would be hit with a series of massive tidal waves that would kill many millions and devastate the East Coast. In particular, NYC would get hit hard. For the Biblical reference, read Revelation 18 with particular attention for verse 21. Many believe that the “fallen, is fallen” is a reference to the twin towers, because all the following verses talk about international trade.
Out west, we have the Yellowstone caldera. A caldera is a super volcano. When the volcano on the island of Tambora exploded in 1815, the following year was known as “the year without a summer” and millions died of starvation due to the inability to get in crops. This was because that explosion threw about 10 cubic miles of junk into the atmosphere, which blocked sunlight and caused global cooling. According to scientists, the last time Yellowstone erupted, it threw about 250 cubic miles of debris into the atmosphere. Even if the next eruption of the Yellowstone caldera is only 10% of the last one, that’s still 2.5 times worse than Tambora and would cause global cooling for years.
Scalar weapons could easily cause both of these things to occur. Jesus warned in the Olivet discourses that one of the signs of the end times approaching was an increase in wars and an increase in earthquakes. Everyone worries about nukes, but the fact is that scalar weapons are far more powerful, easier to deliver and more useful. Especially since everyone thinks an earthquake or a volcanic eruption is an act of God…
In a rare example of very classy behavior by a government official, Jane Garvey, then the FAA Administrator, spent her New Years’ Eve that year aboard a commercial airliner, in company with her Y2K program manager.

@Toad, you are always so cheery! Lol. AK I am going t go hide in the closet and suck my thumb now…
Bloom, I didn’t even mention the New Madrid fault for the midwest, the (famous) San Andreas fault or the *really* big one for the west coast, the Cascadia fault. The combo of Cumbre Vieja, Yellowstone, New Madrid, San Andreas and Cascadia would be a North American extinction event.
But why worry about the fact that as far as the end times is concerned, North America doesn’t exist? Party On, Girl!
ahhh … y2k! i was 8.5 months pregnant (with my special needs baby; though didn’t know she had special needs yet but knew the pregnancy was ‘different’) so was super hormonal … with a just-turned-two year old … and a husband who was doing unspeakable things (things i would not learn exactly what they were for three more years when he confessed, but his behavior was violent and erratic). my bff’s husband has one of those jobs he can’t talk about, and she reassured me i had nothing to concern myself about y2k … which was a great relief!
interesting, though … we weren’t trying for a millennial baby, but it’s what we had. there were tons of babies born january 2000. one year i was at a store bakery, and the lady lamented that they were out of candles for that age (idk – maybe it was age 4/2004, or something; can’t remember now), and i told her about how so many babies were born that month, and they would always need more for that.

Bloom – “AK I am going t go hide in the closet and suck my thumb now…”
anticipation is always the worst. that, and not ‘being there’ if someone you know or love is.
@ Toad, gee thanks!
Actually I hear it will come like a thief in the night, and all should be eternally ready*. Carpe diem, etc.
* how to be ready: John 3:16 Google it.
@Ame, don’t worry, I was being dramatic about the hiding in the closet and sucking my thumb. Gosh if I would let myself think about a tenth of the things that COULD happen, I’d be in there. But instead I force myself to live in the moment. Right now, all is well. Yay now!
If stuff goes to hell in a hand basket, I will hide in the closet then….
Thief in the night*
1 Thessalonians 5:2 (Google it.)
Actually, whether one believes or not, reading through the bible is not a bad thing to do… if people could just follow the advice within, their lives would be happy and successful and trouble free.
Bloom – it is all a lot sometimes! that closet and thumb seem awfully tempting sometimes 🙂
ditto on the Bible.
You wimmin are just trolling for attention now, what with the references to dark enclosed spaces and sucking on body parts…
A new post at Spawny’s there is

lol!
amazing how something so simple can be so open to interpretation!
We’re all ready for doomsday, we all like to think we have it figured out and to kill uncertainty. Why do you think so many people join cults? We’d rather believe in a predictable evil than unpredictable good, or, worse: an uncaring world, or a neutral world, or a world where our happiness isn’t actually a source of good.
You asked: “Can anyone explain HOW they fixed Y2K ?”

Y2K did cause disaster. An enormous amount of corned beef was destroyed, because computers thoughg the expiration date was almost 100 years passed. Automated process. And you people worry about a little thing like an extinction event?!
French millionaires are all moving to Australia. Cote d’azur isn’t what it used to be…
It is odd how all these dire predictions turn out to be a big fizzle? I think that we are not supposed to know.
An enormous amount of corned beef was destroyed,
At least it was bacon not
I was still active duty then, it was just another day at work. Though I was secretly hoping to see news of bankers jumping out of 13 story windows and Bill Clinton getting jail time after being impeached. Sadly, none of that came to pass. 😦
“An enormous amount of corned beef was destroyed.”
Cabbage too? Think of all those sad Irish.
FWB…part of the reason that the dire predictions turned out to be a fizzle is that a lot of work was done to update systems…had this not occurred, there would surely have been a lot more incidents like the corned beef thing, some of them probably much more expensive.
OTOH, a lot of the hype was exaggerated…I don’t think there was ever a real danger, for example, that elevators would stop working at midnight on New Years’ Eve…maybe they would have gotten confused about day of the week and not managed their traffic optimally, but highly unlikely that any of them would have flat-out failed.
I am glad that it was a fizzle.
