Signs of the Apocalypse: This Fact About BuzzFeed

Which is this: “Viewers have spent approximately 42,972 years on BuzzFeed since it was started in 2006.” Via this listicle.

Now, I’ll admit I’ve probably contributed a week or two to this statistic myself, but seriously, that is a lot of human time spent looking at silly lists or gifs of cats. I feel pretty certain that when the combined time of millions which far outreaches the length of human civilization, and is predominantly being spent determining “Which Disney Princess You Are” then we’re heading for an epic end of time.

Oh well.
