Two possible scenarios:

  1. OP’s autocorrect wrote “returns” when they meant for the post to say “results”, in reference to the U.S. election

  2. OP knows that the rapture is happening tomorrow when the pious souls will return to Heaven

There's a difference between poll returns and election results. Returns are "as they happen" and get updated. Results are final.

Thanks. I realized after the comment that the term has gone out of fashion

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Weird. Let’s bring it back!

I like the second scenario best tbh, even if it entails me burning in hell for the rest of eternity.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Don’t worry, the first scenario also could produce hell on earth for the rest of eternity as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I don't know. I've been enjoying the late decadence of western civilization, to be perfectly honest. It could get worse, sure, but can you imagine anything more boring than having our collective survival as a species guaranteed?

I can't.

Sounds like an improvement.

Even if the rapture happens tomorrow, nothing changes.

"God" - "I started the rapture, why aren't there more people up here?"

St peter- "there weren't any believers that were qualified"

Take them anyway, I really don't want to be stuck with a bunch of rapture reject crybabies. Burn me in hell forever, see if I give a shit, but don't make me listen to them whine about it.
