The stupidity of trying to warn people of impending doom by moving a figurative dial 1/90th of its travel is perfectly suited for this timeline
I wonder what happens at Doomsday? Does someone take time out of their suffering to turn the clock to midnight?
Yeah, someone turns it to midnight, and then it’s doomsday morning. And then later, when you get to work everyone thinks they’re a freaking comedian when they say “ugh, doomsdays… am I right?” You’ll have to hear some variation of that joke all day. “Oh man, doomsdays are the worst”, yeah Bob, you’re hilarious…
(And yes, you’ll be working on doomsday, you don’t get those off)
After doomsday we might finally live free.
The problem is that some folks want the freedom to ignore yours and are willing to act on that desire.
Yeah, but I’m willing to ignore their freedom to ignore mine, and to act on this desire.
Pony rides? Cake and ice cream? Smallpox?
Moving it only one second ahead to 89 seconds doesn’t feel like it’s enough, I feel more like it’s 30 seconds or less.
Yeah, we know clock, we know.
Just put it at midnight and be done with this.
Things are tense, but are they really Cuban Missile Crisis levels of tense?
