  • I remember when this happened, i was five years old, and my dad and me were having a casual day (because we knew nothing was going to happen) and i will never forget this news broadcast where they were asking people what they will be doing if the world ends, and this guy said "im just going to be drinking alot of beer". And then the camera showed him loading like 6 cases of beer into the back of his truck

    What if the world did end in 2012, but we are in a parallel universe, and that is the reason for the Mandela Effect...

    I remember this day. I used to scare myself watching those docs on the history channel every night for years until that day passed. Lmao
  • @steveskk83
    Its good to see there are other survivors out there.

    I remember waking up a 12 in the afternoon that day and was relieved that we are still here, went to look at the local news on the laptop and just seen the usual stuff on there.

    I just looked at my circular calender in the wall and, Oh no ! It says the year will end on the 31st of December. What will we do now.
  • Me watching this in 2022: well, the Mayan calendar didn’t kill us, but covid almost did

    I vividly remember this day. Lots of people panic buying stuff, everyone was either packing up for survival or having a party for their "last day on earth" it was so freaking mental. my classmates who were in second grade at that time hugging each other, everyone's crying, altho my family didn't really believe it as a real thing, I'm still like having a mental breakdown there. I went to bed, say goodnight to my parents, then cried a lot after it, and then I woke up. Everything was literally fine and all. That was probably my first ptsd that really triggered my mind from like bursting down.
  • @urantay
    I’m gonna tell my kids I survived 2012😂😂
  • The civilization who wrote this calendar might faced the shortage of ink bcz of which they didn't wrote anything further 😂
  • Are you gonna yell people you have a prerecorded broadcast from the 90s that will air on doomsday?
  • @minorcomet282
    Funny, my birthday is also 21st December, so when everyone feared doomsday I was celebrating my birthday.
  • @C-Stanz
    The Mayans couldn't even predict their own extinction, let alone the end of the universe, lol.
  • @hubbruh
    can’t believe we survived…
  • @astrx6958
    I might sound crazy but me and plenty of other people on the Internet believe in the theory of we swapped realities and Earth in that reality ended when we all was sent to the new reality. Gradually over time we will see more things we lost before that date. It's happened to me, I only recently found a watch I lost before 2012 in the same spot I've been looking in for years because that is where I was sure I left it.
  • @Joseiscool1
    Well you ain’t getting Christmas this year 💀😭
  • @TheBrokenHell
    Well the world could be in the PROCESS of ending...
  • @kojismiles
    i was 2 when this was going on and im now almost 14 and im glad we’re still here. people thought that december 21st 2012 was the end of the world but really they meant the number of the year goes back to 0 and nothing more. some people are just crazy 😒

    Mirror mirror on the wall was never said in this reality. So yes it happened and there are over 600 examples of a parallel earth we live on
