Conspiracy theorists think that the world is going to end on April 23

It was nice knowing you all…

One of these seems to come around every year, and those with a mind for conspiracies flock to social media to warn people that they’re rosy life on earth is coming to an end due to some unforeseen apocalyptic event.

The latest of them is from Christian conspiracy theorist David Meade who suggests that end of the world will arrive later this month.

Meade is predicting the much discussed but never seen planet referred to as Nibiru, will show up on 23 April, signaling the start of the end of days.

According to the quite frankly, insane theory, the moon, sun and Jupiter are going to align in Virgo, triggering the start of the biblical Rapture.

David Meade, who has previously predicted the end of the world (he did it last October FFS), said: “By early April of 2018, the disappearance of the Church (all true Christians worldwide also known as the Rapture) will occur.

“This will be followed quickly by the rise of the Antichrist, the appearance of Planet X and World War III. Seven years of Tribulation will ensure. This is beyond any shadow of doubt.”

But fear not, NASA have said that ‘death planet’ Nibiru doesn’t exist and the date of its supposed apocalypse has been wrong a number of times in the past.

“Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an internet hoax,” NASA said. “There is no factual basis for these claims.”

“If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.”

We’re not taking any chances though, we’ve filled out bath with water and have downloaded 1000 hours of movies from Netflix, so we’re well set to see it out.
