A chronological calendar of dates that specific movements, texts, or viral discourse have marked as the end of the world. Every entry is classified using the station's standard schema. We report claims. We do not endorse them.
This is an internet culture project. It is not a prophecy, an emergency information service, a government warning system, or a risk forecast. Inclusion on this calendar is not a forecast. Dates are sorted forward from today. Historical failed predictions are archived elsewhere; only upcoming entries appear here.
