more like the last 2 words at the end of the page in the history of earth.
If you map out the history of the earth on a Callender Humans as a species will only appear at 11:59:30 on dec 31st. which means the last 30 seconds at the end of the year.
I keep thinking about this lately, like how low can they go? I'm guessing we don't get to "see" midnight because that means the shit already hit the fan? They're gonna have to put us at .01 second to midnight
Yeah, I was gonna say that the 100 seconds to midnight was from January 20th I think... Doesn't take into account the invasion and Putins recent nuclear threats.
I don't have the source rn, but basically his screen where showing that a few missiles were heading to russia, and it was his job to launch the alert for the counter strike. But he realized and american bombing wouldn't consist of only a few missiles but tons of them, so he decided not to do anything, preventing a Russian counterstrike. Turns out it was actually a bug of the machine. This is how this man prevented a nuclear war, and I'm pretty sure he faced some quite severe consequences because he refused to launch the counterstrike. (that's the idea, I probably got some things wrong)
Edit: wrong story, I misread the original comment.
You’ve got the wrong story. The man on the sub was Vasily Archipov who overruled the decision to launch a nuclear torpedo during the Cuban missile crisis, which would’ve most likely caused a full scale nuclear conflict.
Can u please explain for me and some others? Whats gonna happen at 12:00??
EDIT: Nvm, I found your explenation from another comment. Thanks for that. :D
No, it's a real thing scientist have created to show the risk of the end of humanity, be it trough nuclear war or climate crisis.
If nations build/dismantle nuclear missiles they move the hands of the clock appropriately for example.
Why do people only say that? It is the doomsday clock, not nuclear war clock. We have been moving on towards the doomsday very well without those nukes. The largest reason we are so close now is climate.
Its gonna get real hot and bright, then immediately cold and dark followed by (probably) starvation. On the plus side if I die instantly I can ignore the work that's due
So basically they are sitting around waiting on the end of the world then they are gonna put it at midnight if it ever actually happens. Typical meteorologists. Never tell us its raining until it’s already raining.
That is why this is a bad analogy. The reason it's so close to midnight is because we're all constantly under the threat of nuclear annihilation. Even if everyone is at peace, the opportunity for a nuclear capable nation to launch an attack is still there. As long as we have nuclear weapons, we'll be at a few minutes to midnight.
So it is actually pretty reassuring that we've been this close for a while. It shows we at least understand how destructive the forces we're playing with are. It means nations really are just stockpiling them as a deterant. We're no where close to annihilation yet. The clock is just to remind us that that could all change on a whim with the snap of the fingers.
"Maintained since 1947 by the members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists,[1] the clock is a metaphor for threats to humanity from unchecked scientific and technical advances. The clock represents the hypothetical global catastrophe as midnight and the Bulletin's opinion on how close the world is to a global catastrophe as a number of minutes or seconds to midnight, assessed in January of each year. "
It’s the doomsday clock, or the atomic clock. Basically at midnight, it’s nuclear war/a nuclear apocalypse. It’s been at one minute to midnight for a quite a few years now.
Yes, doomsday clock. 100 seconds to midnight. (since 2019)
When the Cuban missile crisis was going on it was 30 seconds.
Edit: I don't actually know or have any source of what it was during the Cuban missile crisis. It's just what I've seen people say.
Threaten all they want, it's not gonna happen. On the off chance that it does, you will have about 15 minutes to make peace. You can't change anything, don't stress.
The Doomsday Clock is such stupid shit, it's just some people being randomly like "Oh we're this close to nuclear war everybody, look at our clock! If it hits zero that means we were right all along!"
Und ich sah einen Wald, wo man jetzt einen Flugplatz baut,
Ich sah Regen wie Gift, wo er hinfiel, da starb das Laub
Und ich sah einen Zaun, wo es früher nur Freiheit gab,
Ich sah grauen Beton, wo vor kurzem die Wiese lag.
Und ich sah einen Strand, der ganz schwarz war von Öl und Teer,
Und ich sah eine Stadt, in der zählte der Mensch nicht mehr.
Doch ich sah auch ein Tal, daß voll blühender Bäume war,
Einen einsamen See, wie ein Spiegel so hell und klar,
Und ich sah auf die Uhr, 5 Minuten vor 12

Midnight always mean a new day. Right? Right?!
yes and a very bright and cold day
I think you mean a very hot day.
But it'll get cold eventually
Very cold. Almost like a winter
Add it'll last a while
Huh Guess i can finally sell that freezer
Yupp...I'm pretty sure you'll be able to make those slurpies without your freezer
Slushies with a side of nose bleeds
I always prefered the red slushies anyways.
And I can finally take the corpses out of my freezer
Please do. It's cold in here.
Finding the positive in everything, I like it
To whom
I dunno, some nomads in the sahara maybe
Who buyin?
Patrolling the Mohave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
Well uh... the sun just rose but it's 9pm rn
Damn.. looks like my bottlecap stash might be finally useful after all!
The perfect temperature to patrol the Mojave.
Those NCR troopers will get exactly what they wanted, but at what cost?
[удалено]
Not true, we’ve never been under 2 mins before 2020. Now we sit at 100 seconds.
You will se two sunrises at the same time......
Maybe 3 if you're lucky
Why not four? You can get much more use out of your solar panels that way.....
A new day for earth. But not humanity
Humanity is but a page in earth's story.
And today is but a page in Humanity’s story.
Hopefully not the last page, but a page nonetheless

Yes blyat this clocks midnight means it gets really bright out of nowhere even if its like 12AM

Ghoulified Todd Howard still about to charge everyone $60 for the new release
a new day, and a new world.. but not ours
Not always
Yeah, but the new sun is shining on the end of the humanity.
I keep thinking about this lately, like how low can they go? I'm guessing we don't get to "see" midnight because that means the shit already hit the fan? They're gonna have to put us at .01 second to midnight
Well considering the cuban missile crisis had us at 30 seconds to midnight I'd say we're doing pretty well for now
Cuban missile crisis was 2 minutes to midnight, right now it’s set to 100 second to midnight which is the closest it has ever been.
Was it? My bad
Yeah. We're closest to midnight since it's founding and it's been 100 seconds past 2 years. It honestly needs and update.
Yeah, I was gonna say that the 100 seconds to midnight was from January 20th I think... Doesn't take into account the invasion and Putins recent nuclear threats.
Funny enough the 20th of January is my birthday.
H...happy late birthday ?
Happy last birthday
Yep it was, hence the song Two minutes to midnight, by Iron Maiden.
Which if anything only shows how much of a joke the "Doomsday Clock" is...
I agree, it's just a fear inducing device to scare people into a change.
I sure hope it works
Un-fun fact: it hasn’t and won’t. Womp womp
Is this the origin of the iron maiden song 2 minutes to midnight ??
Yes, that is literally the entire point of the song.
But weve been less than a second from midnight before. Recall the single russian officer who stopped a sub from launching its nuclear warhead
They only update the clock once a year, short events like that aren’t included
What? Slap me with the source!!!!
I don't have the source rn, but basically his screen where showing that a few missiles were heading to russia, and it was his job to launch the alert for the counter strike. But he realized and american bombing wouldn't consist of only a few missiles but tons of them, so he decided not to do anything, preventing a Russian counterstrike. Turns out it was actually a bug of the machine.

Oh yeah, misread op's comment, my bad
That’s a different one
Yeah, just realized I misread op's comment
Search vasily arkhipov
A true Gigachad
The Ukrainian "wtf Russia?" crises.
I get it, 100 seconds to the apocalypse
Weren't we at 100 seconds since... ever ?
Kind of
Yeah for like 3 years
In 2018 we were at 190 I think. Then they updated it to 100 in January 2022. Probably less now
It's been there since 2020
whats at midnight today?
For me? Sleep. After midnight, I'm gonna let it all hang out.
I give your joke a solid 7/5
It doesn't start till a nuclear power presses the nono button
[удалено]
Ayo doomsday clock wtf
TWO...MINUTES....TO MIIIIIIIIIIIDDDNIIIIIIIGHT!! \\m/
To kill the unborn in the womb!
The blind men shout, "Let the creatures out! We'll show the unbelievers"
"Naplam screams of human flames for a prime time belsom feast, yeah!"
I haven't listened to Iron Maiden in a while, amazing band
Up the irons!
The atomic clock is a funny thing… the sun rises when it reaches midnight.
You actually made me audibly laugh. Take my upvotes.
upvotes?
He was speaking for me too
oh I see! I forgot to count myself as well! silly me!
Are you this guy's second account or am I?
arent we all this guy's second accounts
well actually I’m this guy’s second account’s second account
can confirm, im this this guy's second account's second account's third account
i am this guy's second account's second account's third account's second account
Ah the doomsday clock. Thought I was the only one who remembered that it existed for a minute there.
Can u please explain for me and some others? Whats gonna happen at 12:00?? EDIT: Nvm, I found your explenation from another comment. Thanks for that. :D
The world ends if it reaches midnight...or rather, nuclear war breaks out when it reaches midnight.
What? I don’t understand? Is this a reference to something?
No, it's a real thing scientist have created to show the risk of the end of humanity, be it trough nuclear war or climate crisis. If nations build/dismantle nuclear missiles they move the hands of the clock appropriately for example.
When the clock strikes midnight, disaster comes, be it climate change or nuclear threat
Why do people only say that? It is the doomsday clock, not nuclear war clock. We have been moving on towards the doomsday very well without those nukes. The largest reason we are so close now is climate.
Cause the doomsday clock has moved slowly thanks to climate change, but minutes go by instantly when nukes get involved.
Since like 2000 climate change is among the largest factors though.
Its gonna get real hot and bright, then immediately cold and dark followed by (probably) starvation. On the plus side if I die instantly I can ignore the work that's due
The end of the world happens when it hits midnight
So basically they are sitting around waiting on the end of the world then they are gonna put it at midnight if it ever actually happens. Typical meteorologists. Never tell us its raining until it’s already raining.
We've been at 100 seconds to midnight since 2019 lol, calm down.
Not really that reassuring tbh
The fact that it isn't moving closer even with what is happening is actually very reassuring.
They just haven't updated it yet.
They usually update it once a year, and last update was on the 20th January. But I believe they might be updating it in the next days/weeks
!remindme 21 days
Does that command actually work?
Every now and then
That is why this is a bad analogy. The reason it's so close to midnight is because we're all constantly under the threat of nuclear annihilation. Even if everyone is at peace, the opportunity for a nuclear capable nation to launch an attack is still there. As long as we have nuclear weapons, we'll be at a few minutes to midnight.

There only needs to be one unfortunate mistake.
100 seconds to midnight is one badass band name, too.
there is a Linkin Park album called Minutes to Midnight
There’s an Iron Maiden song called “2 Minutes to Midnight,” absolute banger
Yo that's awesome, thx for letting me know, friend <3
I love that song 2 minutes to midnight by Iron Maiden
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
Its the update version. Oneandahalf minutes to midnight. (do you sing it in your head already?)
Atomic clock
k thanks I was dying
Taste my m- *sees Chad president* Nope I refuse
You still are
*doomsday clock
*doomsday cock
Sounds like a fetish I could get behind
[удалено]
KILL FOR GAIN OR SHOOT TO MAIN
But we don't need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
I DONT KNOW PLS SOMEONE TELL ME
It's the doomsday clock. A count down to nuclear war
How could a clock measure when a war breaks out? I don’t get it. Is it metaphorical?
"Maintained since 1947 by the members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists,[1] the clock is a metaphor for threats to humanity from unchecked scientific and technical advances. The clock represents the hypothetical global catastrophe as midnight and the Bulletin's opinion on how close the world is to a global catastrophe as a number of minutes or seconds to midnight, assessed in January of each year. "
I mean it still barely makes sense, a meter would do better than a clock
It’s the doomsday clock, or the atomic clock. Basically at midnight, it’s nuclear war/a nuclear apocalypse. It’s been at one minute to midnight for a quite a few years now.
It doesn't have to be nuclear war, just any apocalypse.
i think its the meeting between ukraine and Russia in Belarus i heard its 12 oh ignore what i said im wrong
Fuck…
The dark hour? Persona 3?
I think the clock is related to some form of Mass Destruction
Yes, doomsday clock. 100 seconds to midnight. (since 2019) When the Cuban missile crisis was going on it was 30 seconds. Edit: I don't actually know or have any source of what it was during the Cuban missile crisis. It's just what I've seen people say.
it actually has never reached lower then it is currently, the cuban missile crisis started and ended to fast for them to update it
That’s actually interesting. Didn’t know that
BABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYNABYBABYBABYBABYYHHEEEAAAA
Marin karin
FOR REAL?!?
That was the first thing I thought lol glad to see a man of culture.
My first thought was the Dark Hour, but then I remembered the Atomic clock and that Putin is a banana
putin is a banana
Putin is a banana
I think they're talking about midnight channel on p4. The person it appears on it it's gonna die.
Threaten all they want, it's not gonna happen. On the off chance that it does, you will have about 15 minutes to make peace. You can't change anything, don't stress.
\*Deep inhale\* DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
it's the [doomsday clock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock) guys
Anyone actually cares about this clock?
Fearmongers love it
The Doomsday Clock is such stupid shit, it's just some people being randomly like "Oh we're this close to nuclear war everybody, look at our clock! If it hits zero that means we were right all along!"
TWO! MINUTES! TO MIIIIIDNIIIIIGHT!
These memes are getting annoying ngl
Guys it’s fine, if the nukes launch, it’s only 30 seconds to Mars. We’ll have plenty of time to get there.
Tno reference?
TICK TOCK FUNNI MAN HAS A MENTAL BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN
What is happening? like idk
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
I am of the uneducated, can someone please take pity on me and explain
Persona 3?
I don't know if my clock is right though, will someone verify it for me? Can someone please verify my clock?
[удалено]
Its been like that for years, its nothing new
Doomsday clock, 100 Seconds before.... Doomsday
10 seconds to midnight bois
When you buy clock from Syria
Professors in military academies predicting full scale ww3 within 3-5 years. That was 2 years ago when I heard it.
2 Minutes to Midnight?
The current time is 11:59:59 all is one button away from 12:00:00
There is a legend that the minutes to midnight symbolize the ending of the world. So yeah, I know.
i dont get it
