It's the end of the world as we know it - Apocalypse

The complete final destruction of the world, esp. as described in the biblical book of Revelation, and various Romero flicks.

An event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale, breakdown of society - we got it.

An Apocalypse (Greek: ἀποκάλυψις) is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception.

The Apocalypse of John (Greek Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου) is the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament.

By extension, apocalypse can refer to any End Time scenario, or to the end of the world in general.

Prophectic 7G Shroom Trip Apocalypse

7gram trip report, this trip was different from any other trip and was THE most profound trip I’ve ever had, when it first started, I could see atomic like holographic structures appear before me resembling some sort of advanced technology, I got up out the bed and began moving throughout my house, and then walking out the front door and looking into the sky. I saw a “shooting star” along with 4-6 massive malevolent owl like entities that were looking down upon the earth. While looking in their direction I noticed that one of the stars was flickering like a lightbulb about to go out. I then walk back into the house and for the very first time experienced something that you would only see in a horror movie that American movie have not replicated(Asian movies show it the best), as I walked through the front door, the atomic structure like layout was still there, but there were 4 12ft tall “ghost like” entities that stood about 10 feet away from where I was standing. now while on psychedelics, you’ll notice patterns and shi moving on the walls, but this is where the horror movie like scene played out, one of the entities/spirits imbedded itself into a wall where there were 2 mirrors side by side and ridge underneath them, it flew right into the wall, the patterns then stopped the wall then turned in my direction and smiled.

I then look down to my right where a couch was and again, the patterns stopped and something stuck it’s tongue out from underneath the couch, it then lifted up the skirt on the couch showing it’s eye and a grey like face, i then walk back outside looking down the street and see some sort of bug like entity that moved similar to a squirrel, it was about 10ft long and it’s body was was reminiscent of a centipede with red eyes but had an exterior that looked like it was covered in bushes and tree branches. While standing outside, I also came into contact with two insectoids(I don’t remember what they said exactly)that were about 5’6 each both touching my shoulder telling lies and other bullshit.

I then began to experience vivid visions of a military like unit moving throughout my home and the wall coming alive and eating them as youd see in a horror movie, and other civilians being snatched up and taken up underneath the couch while hearing blood curdling screams people of being ripped apart and eatin that no horror movie that I’ve ever seen can replicate. This world, the 3rd dimension is a playground for several interdimensional and extra dimensional malevolent forces that mankind has been sold out too by other fellow humans/members of mankind, when they pop out it’ll be complete bloodshed/carnage.

It isn’t just the reptilians, it’s not just the insectoids or grey or Anunnaki, there are MANY races/species that see this shit as a game and are coming to eat, torture and rape. The bipedal animal like entities(Bears, canines, rabbits, horses, elephants, hippos, etc) sound demonic and talk mad shit, I’ve had visions of them eatin ppl and raping women to implant their seed to use the offspring as slaves or food. I’ve also had several visions of people with powers fighting these creatures but its still not as easy as you’d think, these mfs are tough shit, they are STURDY shrugging off bullets from high caliber weaponry, tank shells, and even nukes, it feels like punching a fleshy wall of brick or steel. I then went a stood in the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror, and I could see the inside of my own body, I could see the expand and contraction of my lungs as I breathed and could even see my own brain, i then closed my eyes and could see some sort of a “door” opening in my stomach with a orange “portal” swirling within

I think there should be 9 calamities

The living plague, the spores of life, the winds of corruption, the ripper of atoms, the lord of death or undead, the silver tongue saint, insanity manifested, the mad queen of animals and insects, and the never (who is the worst because they walk invisibly through everything and can destroy anyone or anything from all of time and history.)

It’ll happen. But it won’t be the end.

First off let me start by saying there's no way to KNOW for certain the world is ending. So do not read my post and overthink about it. I do not intend to scare anyone. I'm rambling and spewing thoughts. This is not intended to be taken legitimately but it is a topic of discussion worth having nowadays considering the recent events.

As tensions rise with Putin, and the re-elected Donald Trump is making his way back into office, I can't help but ask myself when this is all gonna come crashing down. I hate thinking of this, but I know for certain this is a disaster getting ready to kick off. Part of me thinks it's inevitable, and another part thinks I have anxiety. But I genuinely believe in my lifetime ww3 will commence, and not only will there be a war, but it WILL most certainly turn nuclear.

Biden really has kindve put the US in a pickle. I can't really imagine Trump fixing all this himself either. I believe this Russia/Ukraine war will literally just begin the inevitable.

Russia is going to use a tactical nuke eventually because of putins new doctrine, and nato will most certainly use their own as retaliation- and when that happens Russia will use more tactical nukes on nearby NATO bases. Incapacitating NATO troops, which of course would lead to more retaliation and so on. I don't know for certain if that's how things will play out but that's how I, and many other people imagine how this'll go.

So if it does, then what?

I imagine this event wouldn't be the end of the world. Hundreds of millions would die but humanity has survived through thick and thin. I'm sure Australia and other certain regions of the world could rebuild what's left. Although it wouldn't be much. The winter is what would really end the rest of the US. I dunno. Just wanted to share my thoughts. I've been planning slowly these past couple of months and have a decent supply of non perishable food items and a emergency kit. It's just extra precaution that I feel everyone should take. I hope I'm wrong.

Screw nuclear wars, screw asteroids, screw zombies

An apocalyptic scenario based on a gender divide South Korea style, but globally.
Masculine and feminine individuals are polarized as much as possible all around the world by a pseudopolitical movement centered around the manosphere.
In just 30 years, the whole world's population drops like 100 times. There's just not enough people to support any kind of civilised infrastructure in 50 years. There's so much housing and so few people that controlling tresspassing becomes simply not feasible.
And so, people adopt a nomadic-ish lifestyle, travelling around the world and stopping in random houses/apartments just because they can. Not enough governmental manpower to account for most of such cases. Not enough manpower to control border crossings.
State order gradually collapses over a decade.
No one even dies in masses, people just stop being born. That's pretty much it.

Also, no technological advancements are lost either, kind of. Since it affects all populations somewhat equally, specialists in all fields are preserved. There are like travelling hospitals in RVs turned into ambulances. There's even high education still present. Just no states, and no place attachment for people (since actual homes become way less livable with the collapse of centralized infrastructure).
And it's not even anarchist utopia style, no. It's messy, it's dirty, it's unpleasant. Because it doesn't happen in any intent or order.

Obviously law doesn't apply either, so a stranger human being is to be approached with caution.

What's the worst apocalyptic scenario to survive in?

Post Nuclear War Water Situation?

I just finished MatPat's Food Theory video on "Food Theory: What's SAFE To Eat After Nuclear Fallout?", theorizing on the Fallout universe. There are some good points in there, but my main concern is with water. For growing crops, he mentioned topsoil scraping that was utilized by Fukushima crews after the disaster, but they were able to begin quite quickly and manage the spread of contaminated soil. But there are other factors to consider that create problems. The scraping topsoil method makes sense, but theoretically, deeper soil would also be contaminated through exposure to water when it rains or floods, and water seeps in all directions underground at varying speeds depending on elevation, soil type, etc. The now contaminated deeper soil (potentially worse if the water is also contaminated) can seep into groundwater and or aquifers, which then gets transported throughout varying layers of the ground in the surrounding area, downhill, into deep roots, failed well pump or injection well shafts, etc. Fukushima crews were also able to begin work pretty quickly, reducing the amount of runaway radioactive materials and water exposed to the soil. In an apocalypse, it would not be safe to leave shelter an uncertain amount of time, leaving more opportunity for radioactive contamination to spread through the ground. Also, if bombs are dropped all over the world, how are we to trust any water from being safe from contamination? Any surface water is subject to the water cycle and travels all over through clouds, fresh water bodies, the ocean, etc. Any water could also be returned to the water cycle as fluids from plants animals that may be radioactive. Save for extremely deep water, I can't think of any other natural source that's safe. You could drill a well into deep shale reservoirs, but In the apocalypse, well drilling equipment isn't easy to come by or operate. Shallow, hand-driven wells (up to 25ft deep) only work in sedimentary soil, usually found near fresh water bodies, unlike deep and or rocky wells. However, being so close to lakes, rivers, etc. makes them even more likely to be contaminated through shared groundwater and aquifers. Plus, you'd need well piping, a compatible drive-well point, drive couplers, pipe dope to keep the sediment and debris out, a ball valve to hold the water up with pressure (which you have to release when it freezes or you'll ruin the well, so you'll need to prime every single time you use it during winter so you should store water), a sledgehammer or at least a big rock and some serious strength, and of course an old-fashioned pump that you don't often see these days save for certain websites and hardware stores. You'd also need to replace the leather parts periodically, they wear out/ dry rot and won't hold a seal forever. To start a hand-pump well, you have to prime it with fresh water to hold pressure to bring the water up. I'd say we could purify ocean water, but so much fallout would have fallen into it, getting into phytoplankton and contaminating a fair portion of ocean life. The clear exception is stored water in containers underground or in tankers/water towers (though the water would be contaminated by micro-organisms and need to be boiled or filtered). You could also theoretically gather water with dehumidifiers in safe, sealed environments, but it wouldn't be enough to supply a settlement and you'd have to find fix and power one even if you had a place for it.

Which species will survive the Sixth Mass Extinction?

One of my favorite topics to discuss in apocalyptic stories is how would the environment would fair, particularly animals (This thanks to ''Aftermath: Population Zero''). By the time there's a global disaster and civilization collapses, so what animals will survive the post-disaster world? Which species will surely had become extinct? How will animals adapt and evolve to deal with our actions to the planet?

Would you survive the Croatoan Virus?

The virus is spread by blood to blood contact and usually takes three to four hours for the symptoms and sulfur to manifest. It is a demonic Virus created by the demon Crotoa.

The infected become homicidal to non infected, cutting themselves on blades and dousing their bullets in their blood to infect others.

The infected are capable of using weapons like any normal person, and are smart enough to appear not infected to their targets so they'll let their guard down, going so far to make themselves pathetic to garner sympathy. There is no cure

The Virus is the devil's plan to finally wipe out Humanity, so not only will you be dealing with Infected but demons also

What is the ideal survival group? and where?

So I'm writing a short story for one of my classes about the aftermath of an apocalypse - a disease that wiped out most of everyone on Earth. The assignment was to rewrite the ending of the novel we read. Anyway, keep in mind that the disease is not transferable - it feeds on nostalgia and routine, then puts people in a vegetative state until they inevitably wither away (infected are harmless btw). It takes place in a metropolitan city in the northern midwest US area (Chicago, I think). What is the ideal survival group while still being realistic? Location-wise I'm thinking of an abandoned high school. Let's be so fr who in their right mind would want to raid a high school when everything went to shit? It still probably has a ton of useful materials (food, first aid, space) big city schools will also have more of everything anyway. The group should probably consist of a healthcare worker, an avid gardener/botanist type, a home-ec teacher could def be resourceful, and maybe a mechanic, but beyond that what else could be useful? What can the average person do???

Patiently Waiting for the Apocalypse

Is anyone else just ready to get it over with? I've been reading and watching a lot of apocalyptic fiction. Instead of building a sense of hope, or learning to love what I have now, I've kind of going the other way. I've kind of decided that there are too many people and a "hard reset" on society is needed to make things better. It might be time to turn it off and turn it in again to see if it works.

I'm not suicidal or homicidal. I don't wish ill will on anyone in particular. I'm not depressed or lonely and I haven't given up on life. I just think a giant metor might be a net good for everyone.

Solar Flare

Okay, since a Solar Flare (along with WW3) is the current threats facing humanities survival, due to a Carrington Level solar flare cause the destruction of all circuitry, would that mean Nuclear Powerplants would go into meltdown mode since the failsafes are now destroyed? And should we buy gas masks to be safe?

In one of the Mortal Engines books, oil platforms are mentioned as having been used as fortresses in the dried up North Sea, which I find pretty neat.

3 auroras per 10 Days this month. Is This sign of rising risk of Carrington event?

So This October, we Saw Three auroras in unexpected places such as central Europe and there was Even that Green tint visible. I am starting to be afraid that as this solar maximum is supposed to be strongest over 165 years and now auroras are on simply daily basis. We might give goodbye to our modern technology and experience Return into ancient medieval times and dark age, where first more than 90% of people will die in northern hemisphere due to hunger and deseases and survivors experience Wars far worse than WWII and on daily basis. There could be theoretical return of Viking invasion that will not be Only on coast but Deep inside a Europe and parts of eastern America. And we know Last viking invasion felt like Alien invasion from fictional stories. Reason Why I am saying because Scandinavia has still surviving Viking tribes up to this Day just like we have neo nazis, but unlike us arresting associated with supporting Nazism and Russian communism and occupation in Ukraine, Scandinavia hypes these vikings like America hyped psychedelics Last year now experiencing backlash. So I am afraid of the worst if Carrington event Will came. How likely it is going happen? Few months Old studies said that risk of Carrington event is up to 12% per two years, but that was because auroras were as common as per 2 and three months, and now we have 3 auroras per begining of the October, up to today in unusual places. That is really horrifying. Is risk of Carrington event Rising and auroras are sign of it getting more likely? Because I don't want to return to ancient medieval times as it was worse than hell from Abrahamic mythology.
