2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

More possibilities[edit]

At least for the US: 6-10 November 2024 and 20-21 January 2025, and assorted consequences therefroms. Anna Livia (talk) 19:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

The first entry for the 22nd century has some problems...[edit]

First, to me it reads like whoever put it there either copy/pasted it from somewhere else or was just looking for an excuse to proselytize for him on this site, and it doesn't align with the SPOV of the rest of the website. Second, I don't know whether it should go in 2090s or 2100s because it states that the end will happen before 2100. PLMMJ (talk) 20:08, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

If I were more bored than I was, I'd create a "Today's Apocalypse" app[edit]

Set up a database of dates ("When did the first temple fall?") and ranges ("He spent 6 years and 45 days in seclusion") and code an app that will find a combination that points to any day you request. - Immigrant laborer (talk) 16:20, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

One could call the app "Apocalypse Now". Bongolian (talk) 16:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Great idea! - Immigrant laborer (talk) 20:51, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Or 'Apocalypse When?. Anna Livia (talk) 21:17, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

1979-1980 John Todd prediction[edit]

The "1979-1980: John Todd: Installation of a world government ruled by the Illuminati, with Jimmy Carter as the anti-Christ." seems to come from a book called "My Bible Says the Darndest Things by Pricely Francis. However, the book was published by Trafford Publishing, which is a company for self-publishing -- i.e. not entirely reliable. --DangerousTomaccoUser (talk) 13:45, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Daniel Larimer.[edit]

Like gevte he is presumably going to predict the rapture over, and over, and over again, and as such we don't need to have every single one of his failed rapture predictions on this list. A somebody. (talk) 05:35, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
