  • For the first time in 63 years...

    The Doomsday Clock has been set back one minute. Nifty.
    What if Humans are just Dire Halflings?

    Well dang I thought that meant more time, not less.

      It went from 5 min. to 6 min.

        Right from 11:55 to 11:54, we lost a minuet of life before the doomsday bell rings.

          I think you're misunderstanding. It's not that it ends at 11:54. It's that we stand at 11:54, with the end of the world being midnight.

          Think of it this way: Inmates on death row of often executed at midnight. They're saying mankind is that inmate, close to death. We've been holding at 11:55 for so long, but now, the world has taken a step back from that death, to 11:54. Instead of 5 minutes to that deadline, we have 6 minutes until the deadline.

                The opening lines of the article, where the thread title come from, are a bit misleading: it's not the first time it's been set back, only the first time that it's been by ONE MINUTE.
                Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

                  Well, if you've got a plane ticket, a head start, and directions to my place, I'm sure I could think of something.

                    Hooray for arbitrary measures making us look better.
                    How was I supposed to know someone was slipping you Birth Control in the food I've been making for you lately?
