There's A Good Reason Why You've Never Heard Of The 2018 Sydney Tsunami 😂

There's A Good Reason Why You've Never Heard Of The 2018 Sydney Tsunami 😂

On September 20, 2018, Sydney, Australia was supposed to be washed off of the mainland by a tsunami with a death toll of 400,000. The forecast, however, did not come from local meteorologists, but instead from a radical Christian group.


In case you're wondering, Sydney is still fully in tact and did not have a destructive tsunami last night.

In fact, weather the evening of September 20th into the morning of September 21 showed clear skies and a wind speed of approximately 7 to 7.5 mph. Tsunami winds can reach over 600 mph.

The cataclysmic event was predicted by an unknown Christian group that chose to warn the sinners of Sydney via signs in public transit stations.

Verbal and written warnings began as early as August 21 in Sydney's Central station.


The group predicting New South Wales capital's demise put out a press release complete with cautionary Bible verses and more details of what was to come.

Their warnings included quotes from Acts 2:17 and Isaiah 48:3. It also warned that the tsunami would span from Newcastle to Nowra — a distance of nearly 200 miles.

The press release cited an estimation of 400,000 deaths as well as the destruction of many cities and landmarks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Their prophecy concluded with,

"Such carnage shall ensue that martial law will be imposed. The epicentre is 4km from the coast. So close that no forewarning can be given for people to respond and save their lives. This is your hour of warning."

Those last few sentences are a bit contradictory, but honestly, who was really paying attention?

Some people were counting down until God's wrath took its toll on them.





It slipped other people's minds.


Including the ocean itself.


Many were worried for their friends down under, not sure if the sign's time was 100% accurate.





But the storm never raged.

Now Sydney's inhabitants will have more time to repent their sins until the next apocalyptic warning is issued.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
