Image: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Image: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK has been set to 100 seconds to midnight for the third year in a row.
The countdown is a metaphor for global apocalypse and considers the propability of emerging threats like climate change and advances in artificial intelligence and biotechnology. “We believe that because humans created these threats, we can reduce them, but doing so is not easy and has never been so.”
He said a key question is whether countries will deliver on the climate commitments they have promised.
what is a metaphor? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Don’t the clocks go forward an hour in March?
The clock is back to where it was in 1953
whatever that means
The good old fearmongering clock
Most exciting time to be alive
If this is real, please fucking end it already I'm begging you
The day the world end is when GOD decides. No man can guess the hour. The day the world end is when Jesus comes back, not man made
It doesn't really seem to matter in that case.
get a life and stop trying to end the world
Oh my Fauci!! This time it’s real guys!!!
Whenever text or images try to trigger a fear response in me, I'm programmed to think of this Simpson's episode. It's not apathy, but it's also not panic. ;)
This must make JW's all kinds of moist
I think your clock is slow, I got 69 seconds to midnight
Hahahahahahahaha FUCK YOU I don’t fucking care. I will play ,,heartbreaker” on my phone and not assess
Lol. The ‘world is ending’ has been a theme since the beginning of time. I remember those poor people standing in Times Square , sold all their possessions they truly believed the world was ending. Oye.. 🤦♀️
Boooooooooooooo 🍅🍅🍅🍅 clocks are supposed to move this is stupid just move it to midnight and end it already
Like they say, a broken clock is right twice an apocalypse
Wow, it’s almost like they have no idea what the future will hold and the whole “doomsday clock” idea is stupid
I'm supposed to care about a fictional clock because... why
You mean like midnight tonight Like we need more details
Yay bullish
Now that I think about it would nukes when be necessary? Just vaccinate your own people through Fake flu shots or something and release a Virus Into the world, give it a year or two and everyone besides your own will be gone or crippled. Not to mention you avoid fallout.
Change might come in form of a disaster, but I know personally I wouldn’t want to bring a child into the world as it is now. I’d rather a disaster than to conserve the absolutely broken and flawed system we have now
We have the internet… this clock is obsolete!!
Bro this doomsday clock shit was designed to warm us back then, it's just fear mongering now
Don't look up
When your laughing about DoomsdayClock trending and then learn about whats going on at the ukrainian border
Set it to midnight
Obviously pessimistic out the gate with only the last 1/4 of the damn clock being used.
So let me guess, all we have to do is get the shot to avoid this 😆
I don’t get it…
They’re trying to sell sodas
Lol they’ve become a joke. Nuclear disaster was a real worldwide threat. This is a joke.
My psychic said I would have a birthday in the next year. She's really good...
Oh yay the man made fear machine is still at the same time for 3 years.
I agree, we are no safer than last year, and no closer to midnight. A standstill that can only be overcome by humanity
Me on doomsday...
Countdown to my next dump….foh with this bs. Fck you guys for even entertaining this bs…
Let it get here already I’m over it
IT'S ALOT SOONER THAN THAT TRY 50 SECONDS SOONER GET READY FOR IT
YAWN.
if this is the third year shouldn’t it be at 98 seconds
it's all them n/f/t/s and t/rump species people
Fuck that pointless waste of time. Take your doomsday clock and shove it 💯
Good...
So basically for 3 years straight they been wrong
so what’s this mean
You’d think they’d have a digital clock by now.
Ah, yes, the 'you should have existential anxiety and feel the dread of the elite so that we can control you more through fear', clock. Who fucking cares?
Seems to me these 'scientist' cornered themselves and have a choice roll the clock back & risk folks not caring or have it stay stuck and be relevant once/twice a year. Unless they participated in a previous 'Doomsday' their credentials are as good as mine.
So 1 minute and 40 seconds
Er, not to be that guy, but how is this relevant now that the Cold War is over and imminent nuclear war isn't really something to be concerned about?
The doomsday clock is such an obsolete measurement. If you can even call it that.
GUYS GUYS THE HECKING DOOMSDAY CLOCKERINO PEOPLERINOS MOVE IT A WHOLE TEN HECKING SECONDS GUYS
Surprised it didn't move closer to midnight. None of the problems had been addressed, things are getting worse, and rising costs of living and stagnating wages have to had move things to about 30-45 seconds to midnight.
Religions say at the end of times there will be signs. Signs of Wars. Evil. Plauges/Viruses. Riots. That all men will be confused But only one person who is not human knows when the end of times is and that is GOD himself.
How were we closer to Doomsday in the ‘90s than during the Cuban Missile Crisis?
There is no doomsday clock that can tell when doomsday is. The only one that knows when doomsday is is god himself. God is returning though at some point in this lifetime.
Doomsday Clock is BS propaganda to keep people living in fear. Its ridiculous. 100 seconds to midnight, what does that even mean. Its more brainwashing.
Not like a pandemic isn't a global disaster or anything. Not like 5 million preventable deaths is a disaster. Not like the lives being lost to climate change now and the future is a disaster. Not like systemic injustices among the richest and poorest countries are a disaster.
this is so stupid? it's half a clock and they set the time in seconds, and it will go off in such a short time. no practical use and it's confusing. modern art? i expect better.
I feel like they missed the boat in 2020. 🤣🤔
Bullish
literally who cares? when have we ever been in a time without 'concerning tensions' or some other concern. little known fact, the world is about 9 meals away from collapse at any given time. this is just doomporning.
Looking at the clock :
The ice shelf is set to break on within 5 years and at that point I be that will set off the Yellow stone volcano so basically we have from now to about 5 years before we are done. Unless we actually make drastic changes, but nobody care so we are doomed.
Um, since Biden's press conference, should be about 20 seconds to midnight.
Sleepy Joe will get us all killed!!
more like doomsday cock
Doomsday clock was an entirely inadequate sequel to Watchmen. I cannot recommend that friends read it. It’s not a good comic. Watchmen was great, but the prequels and sequels just don’t work.
And for the third year in a row, half of America just said, 'How long is that in minutes?'
Every time I hear Doomsday all I can think of is this guy coming to Earth
stop playing God, you will never know, the world will never end, you end when your time comes to die. This is not anyone's planet/world it belongs to it's creator God, and God will never destroy it for any human ever again, we will destroy ourselves. Bunch of morons.
Sitting here anticipating the end...
Thought it’s supposed to be in 2808. I don’t know how I’m supposed to do good planning when no one can make up their minds on the year.
Are they using daylight savings time on that clock?
Why is it set ? What’s happening exactly ?
Wouldn’t this mean things are getting are better? If it were predicted to end in “100 seconds” for three years in a row, it hasn’t progressed at all meaning it’s being pushed back. Right?
Bring in on 2012 all over again 🥳🥳
Should be more like 20 seconds!!
2minutes2midnight
and scientist are no smarter than they were this time last year 🥺
Doomsday_Watch
With everything going on in the world since 2020, I fully embrace our impending doom.
The fear clock you mean
nooo anxiety *aaaaaaahhhh*
Can we cancel the Doomsday Clock? FFS!
It's like a Mayan Calendar for people who worship science
I remember the last time the world was supposed to self-destruct 🌎 22 years ago also know as Y2K.
It's just fearmongering. It doesn't mean shit.
Is this because Biden casually escalated and threatened the Ukraine/Russia conflict with the use of nuclear bombs POTUS 🖕
Just put the sh*t at midnight already
'This country is full of nitwits, assholes, fuck ups, scumbags, jerkoffs and dipshits. And they all vote....' -George Carlin 2005
But I thought it was all trumps fault?! This whole clock show is just a waste of space
Needs to hurry up and hit midnight already
They literally have nothing else better to do
I think we are living in a relatively peaceful time in the grand scale of human existence. The media is just trying to scare us by fear mongering.
The Doomsday clock is retarded as fuck and is meant for fear mongering purposes. If you actually care about what they say you are a dumbass.
why would anyone care about this. like at all. why does this deserve any credibility or attention? it’s literally completely made up and used only as a scare tactic. you should honestly be ashamed of yourselves for reporting this trite
Clock’s broken, we’ve been in the end times since the 50s
they couldnt find a whole clock?
Who controls this clock? Do they retire? If they do, who controls it after them?
In a world that leaders allow this we see their inability to lead. Mankind needs to prove it wants life by holding people accountable. The search for life is on Earth
Given the situation in Eastern Europe right now it should be closer than it was last year
top cringe
Collapse in america is inevitable
servineatwork
that is a relief.
no one cares
The whole doomsday clock thing is ridiculous. Humans always think they’re living in end times because as individuals we are. As a group? Maybe not.
so what is this clock now
Just fucking hit midnight already what the fuck!!!
You guys are fear mongers! I'm 40 now, so...
But M&Ms just became more inclusive! Thst deserves a few seconds at least.
:0 This worthless species being punished?:0

Vibe higher people. Don't fall for this stupidity.
AHHHHHHHHHH A METAPHORICAL CLOCK HASN'T MOVED IN 3 YEARS!
Awe shit haha
World powers signaled weeks ago that nuclear weapons were not a viable option. This current Russian aggression into Ukraine was already negotiated
3rd year in a row lol is that not funny to everyone else how can 3 years go by and we are 100 seconds away from disaster lol what? This is such a joke.
It would appear we’ve reached Dragon Ball Z countdown speed
This clock is pretty stupid
The clock is an accurate model of my anxiety on any given day tbh
If the past two years was something it was u shouldn’t trust the scientists
Doomer clock is a better name
Dooms days clock is a joke
Lol
Nothing truly ends, it is but the wait until the sequel begins...
Who doesn't love a 'three-peat'?
Yawn.
This doomsday clock is all bark no bite I’ve been waiting
10 seconds
They're not wrong.
Be scared!
Let’s get it to 0
Pretty neato...
What a load of crap. This is such a 1950’s thing. Covid should have put that thing past 12:05
I mean...at least we've stopped time for a bit?
How does one even determine something like this
How can it be the same as last year with Russia set to invade Ukraine?
I had no idea this existed and could have went the rest of my life without finding out. Set it to one second before midnight for all I care, it literally means nothing. Let me know if an asteroid is about to hit earth. Keep your knock off Mayan prophecies to yourselves.
Count down until crazy folks have an anxiety attack and freak out? Meanwhile the rest of the world goes about it's business and nothing happens.
But but but “orange man bad” isn’t in office 😓😓😓
Should we celebrate the fact that it hasn't gotten worse for the last three years?
You can't deny, the 4 horsemen have definitely arrived!
🙄 Pointless theater.
This is the dumbest thing ever. Y’all don’t have something better to do
Are these the same scientists who is advising world leaders on COVID19? You know, the same advise that keeps moving the goal post?
Iron Maiden's going to have a hard time getting that to fit in the song.
as useful as a photo of oxygen to a drowning man
God hurry up 🙄 they're never gonna learn.
Ah yes. The fear mongering clock.
So the clock is broken?
As an Iron Maiden fan, I object. It should be 2 minutes to midnight
The end is nigh
cool so is anything actually being done about it or are we just posturing and waiting to move the hand some more
I wish it would just strike 12 and end this shit show we are living in.
The Doomsday Clock began as a bunch of liberal scientists urging against nuclear proliferation..as that threat declined w/ the collapse of the USSR,they expanded it to include other liberal nightmares, like 'global warming' The science equivalent of the Golden Raspberry awards
Thanks joe
Let's count the time's that clock has been used to predict the end of humanity, Ireland should be under 10 feet of water,
Every second of every year that ever was... The cosmic scene is vast and hostile.
I would be so tempted to mess around with those clock hands just to freak people out
Who cares about safety when people are having their feelings hurt? That seems to be the prevailing thought among Ultraliberals.
i hope these people dont get paid to do this cause this shit is useless as fck.
And the world watched as… But then turned the channel when we all realized it wasn’t a lottery drawing.
Yea things Could’ve happened along time ago , stop fooling the young generation
That clock's runnin' slow.
This measure of existential threat to the world, while a reminder of the many dire problems humanity faces & needs to address more robustly, admits of too many qualifications, or tries to measure what is unquantifiable or irreducibly complex, to be truly epistemically useful.
WendyMichele48 Two minutes to midnight the hand that threatens doom.
Good. If the clock doesn’t move it means we’re safe we’ll never reach midnight
If republicans take the house and senate in November more that clock closer to midnight.
Nonsense. In reality its at about lunchtime.
from the archives....
What a terrible metaphor and image. Time to retire it.
Should it not be at midnight? We're in a fucking disaster right now. 🤦🏻♂️
Another Trump legacy
