i hear the strange noises too! :O wait a second, oh never mind, its my washing machine. :P

Washing machine making strange noises? Not good. Maybe it is time for some maintenance? :-)

I remember having bouts of fear which would vary from crippling fear to slight worries and everything in between. I remember seeing tabloids in supermarkets which spoke of psychics predicting that the world is going to end soon. I even remember watching terminator 2 with my friends and upon viewing the sun destroying the world in the film (At least I think that's what happens lol) my friend says "isn't the world supposed to blow up on 2012". This sent me in one of the worst bouts of fear I've ever had, it was hard to even look at my family in fear that they would die.

Sometime after that after various bouts of fear I finally started to do some research on this issue. And it just so happens that I found this site. I read pretty much the entire site, came to it daily at one point. My fears drastically decreased. The only remaining fears I had were these hypothetical "what if the world ends anyway" scenarios (completely ridiculous I know, but it's hard to calm down the young mind when it is threatened with destruction on a planetary scale).

I came to realize why I didn't do any research on this subject beforehand. It was because I was afraid of my fears being validated. I was afraid that I would find actual scientists that would say the world was going to end.

And now that 2012 has came to past the only thing that has ended is the belief of a 2012 apocalypse. And I thought now would be the time to properly thank all of you wonderful people for allowing me to let go of these fears. You gave me my peace of mind back. You also taught me a lot about the world we live in. You also taught me that most of the people who believe in doomsday predictions are complete morons who are always wrong. I can't thank you enough.

I wish all of you administrators a Happy New Year. I hope 2013 is good to you all! :)

Keep squashing doomsday rumors for me okay! :)

i have actually watched videos. they are signs of the end!

And pigs can fly.

Oh, and then you get people like "scaredoutofmywits" coming on here and trolling. They also laugh when we start answering them as if they are serious.

But they do not realize that we use trolls as an example to show how stupid trolls are.
Even the scared ones now laughs in the face of trolls.

Name one please. Or else I'll just conclude you're a troll who should be banned.

Everything is a sign to some dumb trolls… including FAKE VIDEOS OF PEOPLE USING SOUNDS FROM HOLLYWOOD MOVIES. Seriously… get a life.

Why do people manufacture this crap?

They do this because they get a kick out of watching people fall for this. They are literally laughing their asses off at the people who take this seriously. They are nothing more than internet bullies. In my opinion there is no difference between the people who make this crap and the kids at school who bully other kids. They are pathetic and prey upon those who they know either cannot, or will not, defend themselves.

Oh, and then you get people like "scaredoutofmywits" coming on here and trolling. They also laugh when we start answering them as if they are serious. Sure, scaredoutofmywits might be serious, but in reading what he/she posted it appears she may be trolling us.

it should be proven to you all that nothing natural can make such sounds!

As has been pointed out, these videos are fake, it's mostly sounds taken from movies. So, you tell us, why would a sound that you personally can't explain be a sign that the world is about to end? You trolls are so full of shit, you really are.

And yes Donovan, some of those sounds on the videos might even be washing machines …
