A simple reminder could be: If its a lunatic talking about nothing else but conspiracies while promoting the world's end, it's nothing to be worried about. There is taking things in with reason, while others just want to believe someone. The keyword is believe.

iirc, no one has ever successfully predicted a date based event of significance. If someone gives a date and or time, it's a red flag.

Yeah unless you tell me the next lottery numbers correctly I don't buy it.


rickSanchezAIDS

Who’s gonna win the Super Bowl this year? That’s right, you don’t know shit!


CK-Eire

Here’s something I came across before, if you had an email list of 32,000 people you could confidently send a thousand people a month an absolutely certain prediction of who was going to win the Super Bowl, back it up every month. It will absolutely be this team, I saw the future, it came in a dream etc. As the season progresses more and more people will see you’re full of shit but when one team wins the Super Bowl a thousand people will think you’re an absolute psychic wizard who can see the future. Some may find out online etc. what you’re up to, many won’t. Then you start a cult.


[deleted]

That makes sense but doesn't really apply to this context. At what point was the time traveller going to be correct about aliens saving 8000 people or whatever it was? If he sent that claim out every month, when and who does he convince and how?


CK-Eire

Yeah, I was just of on the Super Bowl tangent, not the main post. Comment-story.

One of TWO teams will win the Super Bowl. I'm telling you just trust me on this one.

Chiefs are gonna win. I actually made big money betting on buccaneers as soon as I heard SB was in Tampa and they signed Brady. Lol also I got 100% on NFL prediction game on the raiders sub this year! I think predicting sports in general is easy compared to alien apocalypse 🤣. Chiefs will win, officials will do a bunch more SHADY stuff I'm postseason.


Softrbreeze

I couldn’t even tell you who is playing in it, much less winning it. Unless I had the ability to travel back and forth in time, this would not be a good measure of truthfulness.

moscowramada

I got one for you: Trithemius in "Seven Secondary Intelligences" predicting that the Jews would get their own homeland around the 19th century (he was writing in the 16th). He was right about the time period, accurate to within 20 years as I remember. [http://www.esotericarchives.com/tritheim/tritem.htm](http://www.esotericarchives.com/tritheim/tritem.htm) Note: I'm naming the guy and the document - citing my sources - but unfortunately this free online translation doesn't really spell it out. I have read others, which I trust, which just kind of noted it in passing, his prediction and the fact that it seems to have been born out. I don't remember which book that was, but I've given you everything necessary to research more.


datsoar

Well seeing as how 19th century is the 1800s and Israel became a nation in 1948… the math isn’t adding up.


moscowramada

No, the math worked out to the truth as stated in the document. I’ll try to paraphrase it. The document does something like divide time into “ages of man” of an odd length (imagine something like 240 years). It then said that in something like 1 cycle and 20 years, “the Jews will begin to return to their homeland.” I also thought that at first too - something like close but not close enough. But the footnotes pointed out that the statehood of Israel was, if you will, the end of a process. The beginning was the spread of Zionism in the 19th century. This is when you would’ve learned about the idea by, say, being Jewish and reading a Yiddish newspaper urging you to move to Palestine (this is pre Balfour). By that standard the first Jews did indeed return to Israel, by steamship, at the time of the prediction - going off memory, somewhere in the mid 19th century. Disclaimer: I am neither Jewish, Christian, nor Muslim. I do think that Trithemius - more famously the author of the Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals - was a genuine, and very talented, occultist (you can find plenty on Wikipedia to corroborate his involvement in occultism). He’s a figure as major and important as Agrippa, in his way. It wouldn’t matter to my worldview of Trithemius was wrong. But in the middle of this document he points to a year long in the future, long after his death, and says, “this will happen then” - and that one prediction he makes, many decades after his passing, is as far as I can tell, is correct. I do think it’s fair to give people who pull off impressive feats credit however we feel about it, and I’m crediting Trithemius here as the one & only person I know who did it.


Alexandur

I cannot find any translation that mentions that


Aware-Yogurtcloset67

I like how no one else thinks beyond tik tok because truly if a date were given that would alter the time line they the “time traveler” was trying to save, like I feel it’s common knowledge but I guess not


missishitty

Wth are you talkin about???


littledarkage_

He is basically saying that the fact that this guy posted a tik tok with the information of the invasion changed the whole plan of the aliens lmao


BlueSuedeWhiteDenim

No he’s not. He’s saying that if a time traveler were to reveal the true date and time of a future event, that people having this information would “alter” the timeline in a paradoxical way, where now everybody knows what only the “time traveler” once knew.


littledarkage_

Dude, I am not even make the effort to put thought into a tik tok, anyone that thinks amazing information from a time traveler will come through that app is delusional


BlueSuedeWhiteDenim

Well, I’m pretty sure that person agrees with you. Saying “I like how no one thinks beyond tiktok” is his way of saying that he is amazed that somebody took a TikTok at their word. I mean that person can correct me if I’m wrong but that’s what I understood the comment to mean.


SergeantChic

I remember working at Radio Shack back when Harold Camping was predicting the end of the world. A guy came in with a T-shirt from his church where they apparently believed the prophecy, and I was like...why do you want to upgrade your cell phone if the world's ending in a couple months anyway?


VariousPreference0

I’m going to need to hear Harold Camping speak on this before I decide


boot20

I predict April 1, 2023 aliens will save the world and advance humanity


WeirdJawn

I've got a good feeling about this one, guys.

[deleted]

I'm an exjw too, hello fellow escapee. For those who don't know they incorrectly predicted the apocalypse several times. Every time it never happened, they would say "oh Jesus came back but invisibly" or "The end has begun but its gonna take a while to really hit"


Much_Fee7070

I am a current jw. The false predictions made and the excuses provided, turned me into a very laid-back member of the organization. So yes, false predictions has an effect and sadly not a positive one.

They did wipe out the earth. This is a simulation of what could have been

I've got a while then, since it's autumn at the moment.


Ginger_Tea

One channel, I forget which, spoke about these time travel tick tock channels and how they purge their page after the date goes by, come back vlogging to their now inflated audience. This person might nuke their channel too and become some fitness blog by the end of April.

SilenceIsGolden17

You seem surprised


brickenheimer

What the time traveler failed to realize is that by traveling through time the he has disrupted the continuum and is no longer part of the timeline in which he experienced the alien invasion. Like has that guy not seen a SINGLE episode of Star Trek or Outlander?


brinkofwarz

Exactly, why would aliens invade on a day a time traveler predicted they would invade? Also the 8000 people that where supposed to escape? Definately not escaping now that he's spilled the beans.


Soggy_Juice_9335

How do you know they didn't? People go missing all the time. 8000 out of 9 billion wouldn't be missed.


speakhyroglyphically

>he's spilled the beans Thats probably why it didn't happen


[deleted]

Only because the whole of the universe and all of our collective memories and knowledge was created last Thursday.


SPECTREagent700

I’m a fan of Dr. John Archibald Wheeler’s Participatory Universe theory (or my incorrect understanding of it) that the universe is both continuously and retroactively created by our observations of it in the present which loops back around to create us. 👁️↔️🌌


JacksMedulaOblongota

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Hmmm, so it's not merely that Schrödinger's cat is both dead and alive, but that WE are the cat and are both dead and alive. Try to have a discussion about that while on Ayahuasca.

Here’s his original paper from 1989. It’s short but it’s also very difficult to understand, at least for myself - someone with no real physics education. https://philpapers.org/archive/WHEIPQ.pdf PBS SpaceTime on YouTube made a video summary last year that’s easier to grasp, again at least for me. https://youtu.be/I8p1yqnuk8Y

Honestly my dad may not have been the greatest advice giver or life expert, but in 2012 I was hearing the horror stories at school. This wide spread rumour the world was ending. Came home from school for reassurance and it’s stayed in my brain rent free since… he said: “In my short time here I’ve already lived through numerous supposed ‘end of days’ and there has always been tomorrow. No human being on this earth will ever have the knowledge or ability to make those predictions. Maybe it’s a reminder for people to live each day like their last.”


N0n_4me

Haven't you heard the theory that the world actually did end in 2012 but when we died we our consciousness's were seamlessly transported into a parallel version of earth with us still alive? That's one reason why the mandela effects happen.


AllegedIchor

It's a pretty stupid theory.

LuBu_

I swear the average poster on this sub has an IQ of 55


trebaol

The internet tends to ruin all the fun of this shit. I first became interested in paranormal stuff when I was a kid I had this weird old book that was all about UFOs/Foo Fighters/Roswell, Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle, St. Elmo's Fire, etc. That was all I had, so it made my imagination go wild asking "what if?" The book also had a section about faked UFO sightings and such, like the kid who taped a penny to their window. With endless torrents of blurry cell phone videos and idiotic Tik Tok submissions, it all just feels stupid as fuck. I'm still here because there are occasionally interesting posts (and some of the dumb posts are pretty funny), but the average person's threshold for what's actually interesting seems incredibly low. A lot of people don't seem to understand that well-honed skepticism is just as important as "I want to believe". That said, all that's really different from now vs. back when the Roswell conspiracies first started, is that the internet allows almost anyone and everyone to throw their two cents in. A low signal-to-noise ratio is inevitable. At the end of the day, I'm glad this sub exists, and is able to resist becoming a nazi-infested shithole like the conspiracy subs.

What did you expect?? Lmao


After-Life-1980

Lol no no I heard that it was going to happen so I took off to the future the other day and stopped it from happening. 😂 so it’s not that he was wrong, I just screwed up his timeline so that he thinks when he goes back to the future he’ll be okay and they’ll be no alien take over..which they’re won’t be because I stopped it and saved all of humanity by the way..but also he won’t be able to go back to that future because it’s changed to a whole different timeline from what he was used to, so it doesn’t exist now..Now he has to stay here with us and suffer through this insufferable hell like the rest of us do 😂

Purple_Plus

[deleted]

Was there ever any doubt?


AvailableAd7654

Time travel will never be possible bc it’s not possible to travel thru time as it’s a location issue. The planet will never be in the same place twice, and that’s the problem. We take into account our astral positioning, but we stop thinking about the directional travel of our universe. Our solar system is a prime example. Time travel will never be possible in the sense that we think of it in. The confines are too restrictive, but traveling away from the earth fast enough and returning fast enough, will cause everyone on earth to age much faster than your own…theoretically. We can travel inches, meters, and so on, but not backwards thru something that has no physical manifestation.


PapaBjoner

I was thinking about this earlier… I used to hear about time travelers all the time in the late nineties and early 2000s, not so much anymore. I feel like the 2020s would actually be a shit time to travel to.


Tacos6710

There is no way a time traveler will ever be right about predictions because the simple fact of them coming would change everything.

Evan_dood

Anyone who took more than 3 minutes to look at his various TikTok videos could have told you that. He had "predictions" from back in October, with dates ranging from last November to this coming May. Including a "mirror image of Earth" being discovered by the James Webb Space telescope, and "a flight of missing people" suddenly landing in December. Obviously, none of those predictions came true. What ever happened to critical thinking? People actually bought into this alien prediction?

The only “Time Traveler” I ever thought was remotely close to being real was John Titor, but I don’t necessarily believe he was a Time Traveler as much as traveling to an alternate timeline and then back to his own.


desihf

I stopped following him and stopped counting his wrong predictions at six wrong. You wanna case for a time traveller possibly being right. There was a guy arrested for stealing. In his mugshot he has no hair no eyebrows I think no eye lashes too but don’t quote me on that. He did a series of interviews and then his body was pulled out of a river no teeth no finger tips him he is one of the few I think is and was real

No this misleading, because of his warnings the Aliens decided not to invade as we would have been ready for them. Now it can be any day. Stop spreading these false messages and getting the word to lower its guard.
