12-21-2012 won't be the end of the world, haha. We will definitely see 2013.

People will panic I will probably just camp out with my family for the holidays through it all.

I honestly do believe in 2012 as in: we are in a massive paradigm shift. I don't know what is going to happen but shits gonna change because the world is rather strained economically, politically, agriculturally, etc.

There's not much that will happen that day but it will go dark for about 16 hours due to the Earth's rotation and position in relation to the sun. Might want to have flashlights handy in case the power happens to go out, but nothing specific should trigger that to happen. This darkness phenomenon is also known as night. :p

If the world ends, why do I need to stock up on anything? People are too optimistic if they think they alone can survive, while everybody else dies.

With enough people thinking like this apparently a pack of dollar store AA batteries puts you in the top 0.1% of preparedness lmao.

I'm trying to convince people to leave me all of their money to look after their pets after they are gone... So far no takers...

My 40th birthday. I'll be piss drunk and the next morning I am sure I will wish the world had ended.

Ignoring the fact that there is another Mayan calendar that continues until after 3500 AD . . . .


Nope. If the world ends, it ends. When the Nemesis star or Zombie Apocalypse or plague of bunnies destroys the world, a case of MREs isn't going to help.

I've ordered a Lamborghini which should be delivered the day before. Just wanted to go out in style.

I'm stocking up in tacos just in case the world ends. How much you think I should buy?

My house is always stocked up. But only because it saves money to stock up on items when they are on sale, rather than pay regular price because you ran out.

Those who really believe in this nonsense shouldn't be stocking up on anything. And they should be spending every dime they have, plus credit, enjoying their last few days. Be a nice boost to the economy as well!

Have a decent amount of food stocked up.. canned and mre's, some water stores, 300 rounds for the ar15 (not much but eveything is back ordered!), Over 7k rounds of .22, tons of flash lights, batteries, knives, first aid.

Im assuming we would join forces with a couple of the neighbors that have generators and guns. We've helped each other out before.

You guys are nuts. Nothing is going to happen. Don't waste your time or money.

You know what I'm doing this week? Going to work as I normally do.

Having food/water stocked up isn't ever a terrible idea. Natural disasters happen.
