I like how in The Road the description of the apocalyptic event is pretty clearly an asteroid but no-one knows what the fuck happened (presumably the govt didn't bother to tell them an asteroid was incoming). There are a bunch of movies about incoming asteroids too - deep impact, one by Abel Ferrara I cant remember the name of, Lars von triers Melancholia, Don't look up. In Ferrara's movie people just take drugs and have sex which I think is probably what id be aiming to do too

Probably didn’t waste enormous time and resources on ‘self-driving’ AI
Yes, i think it’s a solid theory that Jesus the real person believed the world was going to end within his own lifetime or thereabouts. It’s crazy to re-read the gospels with this in mind.
Launch is rescheduled to ten years from now
Probably talking about the ‘Red Terror’, some of the more unhinged estimates of deaths are in the millions I think (although it was nowhere near that in reality)
Like those old time scientists that would experiment on themselves 🫡
Wood panelling (but more Victorian era than this) and also windows that can be opened (just put grated wire over them if your worried about some moron sticking their head out). They should bring back big in carriage ceiling fans too, blew my mind when I saw subway trains used to have those
yeah fuck those commies, its propaganda of the deed time baby
But seriously the student protests have been gaining worldwide momentum, firebombing a frat house or similar action would be the ideal way to kill that dead in the water
I legit don't even know if you guys are serious right now
Too late Sony. I don't have a PlayStation...or a computer....but I will NEVER play this game, I mean if I get one someday. NEVER
The novel doesn't describe the event itself as much more than flashes of light in the sky, but apparently McCarthy did a bunch of research on what would happen to the earth in the event of a major impact before writinf the novel, and the descriptions of the sun being blocked out, the sea turning grey etc i think would fit with that
