Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

A good application for AI. No need to worry about missed days or unexpected ends to lifetime.
What would AI do in this case?
Any that's capable of responding to the prompt "predict that the rapture will happen on <tomorrow's date>."
A one-liner in any modern programming language could do that.
Buddhists reduced this to its most basic principles long ago.
You could just reuse the same canned response and put tomorrow's date in there. It's not like these rapture predictions are new / interesting anyway
god requires the entity proclaiming the prediction to be capable of fucking up and saying something else, we need to task some theological researchers with figuring out precisely how capable of mistakes it must be
Sure, whatever floats God's boat.
