I wonder what happens at Doomsday? Does someone take time out of their suffering to turn the clock to midnight?
Yeah, someone turns it to midnight, and then it's doomsday morning. And then later, when you get to work everyone thinks they're a freaking comedian when they say "ugh, doomsdays... am I right?" You'll have to hear some variation of that joke all day. "Oh man, doomsdays are the worst", yeah Bob, you're hilarious...
(And yes, you'll be working on doomsday, you don't get those off)
After doomsday we might finally live free.
The problem is that some folks want the freedom to ignore yours and are willing to act on that desire.
Yeah, but I’m willing to ignore their freedom to ignore mine, and to act on this desire.
You get a freedom, you get a freedom, everyone gets a freedom. Except the fascists
That's when we finally get clarity on the owner of every tract of land in the world.
Pony rides? Cake and ice cream? Smallpox?
