Re: The Official End of the World (2012) thread!

[Sidious]

IKBR has been dead for quite awhile, due to a few persistent friends i revamped up a new site http://ikbrclan.com/ with new forums plus a working server once again to mess around with, its more or less like wonko community, being a community now with friends who just mess around with a server that we have admin on

[Wonko the Sane]

And as for his sanity, well, let's just say that right is left, and left is right, so sane is insane while insane is sane. Therefore, you're left while being right about Wonko's being insane, which means he's actually sane, or so I write. Right? Left? Up? Down? Sideways? Diagonally? Diagon Alley? Allons-y?

I want my money back. Or forward.

I love how you squeezed a Doctor Who reference in there!


@Sidi: Still using the Fishclan mod I made for you?

Now we know the world is ending. <IKBR>< the Fishclan is back!!

[Da Llama]

guys, the world is gonna end, quick find a turtle shell and hide.

[Shinja]

those schmexy robots--OHGODNO!! Run for your lives!!!


... I think I'm a little confused.

A little confused for you is too much confusion in my book, so let me try and clear things up. I mean really Wonko, there's no reason to get excited, although actually.. maybe there is

You see, I know you're thinking there must be some kind of way out of here, but I feel I need to ask.. why on Caprica would you want to? I mean you can't get no relief when you're running for your life, especially in the opposite direction of those Cylon lovelies


DID I WIN THE FRAKKING REFERENCES GAME?! xD.. Sorry I've been re-watching bsg recently D: lolol

[Wonko the Sane]

yes, yes you win you win! Mercy, mercy!!!


It makes a great End of the World song, too:

[Wonko the Sane]

It's the Apple Mapocalypse!!


The Eiffel Tower has gone and poked itself through a stadium of some kind!

A wormhole has enveloped the Brooklyn Bridge and twisted it like a pretzel!!

We apparently now all drive hovercars and refuel on top of buildings!

And you're gonna need that hovercar, because the roads will all look like this when the world ends.

Unfortunately, hovercars can't get you to where you're going.

On the plus side, you can get takeout in the in the middle of rivers when the world ends, so that's cool.

Unless time goes all wibbly wobbly on you and your town gets sent back to the late 1800's.

And time's not the only thing going all wibbly wobbly.

That's okay, though, because the food sucks here anyway.

And when the tectonic plates shift, your town may end up in Antarctica!

Or it could simply be flattened!

Or uh ... not?

But does it really matter anyway? I mean, when you think about it, we all just live on a giant marble in space hurtling through the universe at unknowable speeds, so who cares about functional maps, right?


Yes, my friends, the world is now officially ending thanks to Apple. Buckle up!

[blivvy]

Thanks a lot Apple

I knew they couldn't be trusted.

And as far as takeouts in rivers, I'm sure there will be those who will drive into the river hoping to find them

[Theicecreaman]

hahahaha this was the greatest!

I think they got their maps from TomTom or something like that.

....F*ck that! Google Maps has never let me down, unlike the GPS in my parent's house we've had for years. That thing NEVER worked properly. And it was like Garmin or something like that too. I always used to just print out directions from Google Maps or MapQuest and follow those. Now I have an iPhone though!

[Wonko the Sane]

When the world ends and our galaxy implodes, it's okay, we can just move to any one of these 5,500 other galaxes:

Feeling small yet?

[Theicecreaman]

we're screwed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4a35U3VU1w

no doubt.

[Wonko the Sane]

Added it to the list as "Flying alien cows from Outer Space". For future posterity, it is in reference to the conversation we had here.

[blivvy]

I'm not exactly sure what the end of the world looks like, but I bet it's a lot like this...

[Wonko the Sane]

Aw yeah, the playground is where the party's at when the zombies attack! Whoop Whoop!

[Theicecreaman]

So I forget in which thread we were talking about Facebook, but here's some of the latest news about it: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57534433-93/facebook-opens-floodgates-to-mobile-app-ads/

[Wonko the Sane]

Ice and I were on the server the other day talking about it and we realized that "Facebook" is censored. I don't even remember doing that. But it was hilarious.

But yeah, about that article, their stock is sucking, which is why they're scrambling to find ways to make money to appease the stockholders. Problem is, finding ways to make money in this situation almost always leads to decisions that are not good for the end user. When people start looking for alternatives, Google Plus is really it for right now. And it's not half bad either.

Not everyone is aware of how evil Facebook is in terms of invading your privacy and selling "you" to the highest bidder, but more and more people are learning just how bad the situation is. Sooner or later there will be a mass exodus.


That's a symptom of a broader problem though and, in terms of this thread, is something we're headed for. The new currency is your identity. The problem is, none of us are getting paid for it right now. It's being stolen and sold to whoever will pay for it, and we're being left with nothing for it. It'd be like if you built cars for a living, then the dealer came and took your car and went and sold it but never paid you for the car. You just kept building them because that's all you knew and that was what you thought "life" was. Right now, everyone thinks how Facebook, Google, and everyone else is doing things is just how the "Internet" is. But it's not. It will take a really broad awakening for people to start realizing they're being taken advantage of.

What's the difference between all of us using the Internet right now and the street corner whore? The whore gets paid for selling themselves.

[blivvy]

As Llama pointed out in the funny pics thread...



Another worthy addition.

[Theicecreaman]

What's the difference between all of us using the Internet right now and the street corner whore? The whore gets paid for selling themselves.

...Another wise aphorism by the Wonkman

@Blivvy,

I totally did not do that.

[Wonko the Sane]

Bliv, what do we even call that to add it to the list??

[blivvy]

It's called... SUPER BULLET BILL 64!!!

[Wonko the Sane]

Added to the list! That'd be a pretty awesome way to go to be honest. Imagine standing on the ground there looking up at some little bitty meteorite things falling from the sky and then HOLYSHITFCKWHATISTHAT! is the last thought you and a bazillion other people have time to think before THE END.

[Wonko the Sane]

Less than two months to go until THE END!!! I pose the following question for your consideration:
What's your survival plan?


The building where I work used to be the old town hall and there's a vault in the basement with a thick metal door. Plan A is to stock that with food and water and wait out the apocalypse, whatever form it may take.

Plan B is a secure alarm monitoring building down the street I have access to. The owner has a particular fondness for guns.

Plan C is a rooftop with one or more of those guns.


I've also made an apocalypse bunker in Minecraft, fully stocked with food and protected by bedrock, for my digital self to take refuge in.


I think I'm all set. Bring it on!!!

[blivvy]

Not a bad plan there Wonkman. But I have THE ultimate plan muhahahah!

That's right, imma hide under my bed

[Theicecreaman]

Wonko's rooftop scenario reminds me of this.

@Bliv, you'll be perfectly fine!

For 10 minutes.

[Wonko the Sane]

Yep, that's the rooftop plan!


And as long a Bliv's bed is behind some giant steel door, he should be fine. What's your plan, Ice?

[Theicecreaman]

this.
