How can we secure a solar eclipse induced apocalypse next time? More virgin sacrifices? Less? Virgins are quite abundant these days. We could go either way…

What happens to the people who actually believed this? Imagine someone quitting their job because “the world is ending on Monday.” They tell all their friends and family goodbye. They stop paying bills. Then Monday rolls around and…they’re still here. Now what? Do they go beg for their job back? How do they face their friends and family again? It sounds so embarrassing.
According to my friend, it happened, the world ended. Now you may be wondering how I could even have this chat with him if the world ended. Not to worry, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation…
I am not me, and he went into a different universe when the previous world had collapsed. Apparently I wasn’t so lucky, nor any of the other 8.1 Billion souls. Only he got to come here, because his original self was already dead. How I wouldn’t have remembered him dying and doing a Jesus, is beyond me…
This all leads me to the conclusion that my friend stopped taking his meds and has been binging rick and morty again.
Sorry to hear your friend stopped taking his meds. Medicine non-compliance is a big problem :(
So it’s just excuses and more made up nonsense to try and justify their existence. Mental instability is wild.
There was a great photo of a guy who bought into the Mayan calendar bullshit in 2012 (I think?). He’d given away or sold his home and all his stuff. In the photo, he was checking his watch while young people next to him were laughing. I imagine his life was ruined.
But some cults just keep pushing the date back. See Millerites in USA:

Ooo, I’ll get to live through 3 more ends of the world! Excellent. That was a wild read, thanks for the links.
I wonder if there are still people living in their underground bunker believing they are the only one that survived 2000 or 2012
That would like a Blast from the Past
The people that do that dont typically have jobs nor pay their own bills since they livein an environment that allows them enough free time to absorb and spread such conspiratorial material
