If it ever reaches midnight, it won’t be scary any more. And the world won’t have ended.

Apparently these poor folks don't know that it's safe to come out of the cave, because .999... = 1.

Well that was easy. No money in that kind of useful info, however.

I stopped taking that clock seriously in the late 70’s. I’m surprised it’s still a thing.

Back in the day The Doomsday Clock was a public relations stunt for the The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (a bulletin is not a scientific journal). It jiggled back and forth according to the Soviet party line.

The Soviet Union is gone, we got past the Cold War without nuclear annihilation, but The Doomsday Clock ticks on. I suppose "atomic scientists" (real ones don't call themselves that) are experts on climate change as well as international relations.

Impeach Trump
Impeach Pence
Seat Pelosi with Hillary as VP
Pelosi steps down because of ‘health concerns’
And Queen Hillary puts Greta Van Scoldilocks in her all femme cabinet

Only then may we survive

It’s a complete joke since we know that during the Cold War we were literally one man’s split second decision away from Armageddon at one point, and we’ve never been in such a risky position since then.
