Talk:Doomsday scenario

This is looking more and more like RW1 with every edit. Yay! 04:06, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

The sky is falling!
This came up on Yahoo. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 16:34, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This did as well in the article:
 * All anyone is sure off is that it is about two metres wide and could be hollow inside - meaning it might be man-made.
 * Whatever WT1190F is, we can at least hold off on any panic that it might do some serious damage to life on Earth.
 * Whatever WT1190F is, we can at least hold off on any panic that it might do some serious damage to life on Earth.


 * If it doesn’t burn up when entering the planet’s atmosphere, it is on course to land in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Sri Lanka, on November 13.


 * However, astronomy software developer Bill Gray added: “I would not necessarily want to be going fishing directly underneath it.”
 * Also, who the hell proofed this for Yahoo? This has so many silly errors.  -EmeraldCityWanderer (talk) 16:42, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The picture with the comment is (probably unintentionally) funny. Carpetsmoker (talk) 16:46, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Judging by some other articles from more legit sources, it sounds like this was a good opportunity to test out the detection and tracking systems in case of something much worse. ℕoir LeSable (talk) 17:04, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Best to do that before we need to track something smelly... -EmeraldCityWanderer (talk) 17:56, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

The reference belonged here - perhaps 'damage caused by spaceship detritus' should be added to the list. (The Tunguska event was caused by a lump of alien spaceship en route to the scrapyard 'misreading' Tesla's radio experiments (possibly also involving a horseshoe which 'brings you luck whether or not you believe in it'). 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oooo, That's kind of funny. Find a reference for that spaceship nonsense and I would love to add it to the ridiculous nonsense kooks believe.  -EmeraldCityWanderer (talk) 18:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I was doing a creative riff - and the 'spaceship scrapyard' is a 'vague borrowing' from various SF (the ship is pre-programmed to 'fly by wire-equivalent technology' to a particular radio source - which happens to have the same 'markers' as Tesla's system). 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Camp of the saints
What's the theory behind illegal immigrants leading to the collapse of civilisation? The only theory I can think of is Islamists voting for the (local equivalent of) the Muslim Brotherhood or whatever (as happened in post-Arab-Spring Egypt, after which there was a counter-revolution), but even that doesn't seem plausible in the West.--Greenrd (talk) 21:26, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

The ultimate doomsday scenario
They all happen together/in short order and cancel each other out. (Thus, for example, Carrington mark 2 reverses the magnetic reversal/powers up the newly reversed magnetic field so no problems arise, Jesus gets involved in sorting out Ragnorak and so on.) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 16:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
