How Long Until End of the World
Here’s the thing that always cracks me up. Every generation thought they’d be the last one. The Romans thought the world ended when the empire fell. People in 1000 AD thought it was over. In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, everyone was sure we were done. And yet, here you are, reading this on a tiny glowing rectangle. We’re the undefeated champions of not dying yet.
So, is the world ending soon? Maybe. But maybe not. The odds are the same as they’ve always been: uncertain. Every day you wake up is a tiny miracle of survival. You beat the odds for one more day. That’s pretty cool, actually.
What You Should Actually Do
Look, I’m not gonna tell you to build a bunker. Bunkers are damp, and they smell like canned beans and regret. Instead, do something wild. Go see that friend you’ve been putting off. Eat the expensive cheese. Read the book you keep in your “to-be-read” pile. Because whether the world ends in 90 seconds or 90 years, living scared is its own kind of doom.
And if you really want a countdown? Don’t look at the clock. Look at your life. Is it full? Are you happy? That’s the only timeline that actually matters. Because the end of the world is just a story we tell ourselves to avoid writing our own. So write yours. Maybe start by finishing that burrito.
