6 responses to make you feel better about the Doomsday Clock ticking closer to midnight

BREAKING: Doomsday Clock signalling how close Earth is to destruction has been set at two minutes to midnight, the most dire reading since 1953. Trump's nuclear bravado and world's inaction on climate change blamed: https://t.co/kOFWUl34LM

Oh god, it's the fucking #DoomsdayClock bullshit again. IT IS NOT MEASURING ANYTHING. IT'S AN ART PROJECT. IT IS LESS THAN MEANINGLESS.

So fuck. Seriously, so fuck.
And just look at them, all serious, pure glum for the cameras. Like they're disappointed in us all.
Not interested, sorry.
Call yourselves scientists. Fuck off.
Look at the state of it, the clock. Made of fucking plywood. Looks shite. https://t.co/YqjOzxAt6f— Limmy's Vines TOUR (@DaftLimmy) January 25, 2018

The Doomsday Clock is not a real thing, it is not by “the scientists,” they are messy bitches who love drama, and we will all bury it.
