The Apocalypse

The world being a simulation is some scary [OBSCENE PARAGRAPH REDACTED BY ORDER OF BULGARIAN GOVERMENT]. I could go on for ages about how scary the mere concept of living in a simulation could be. What if the simulation level above just said: "Oh no! This simulation is becoming self aware! I must switch it off!" and BAM. Universe dead-ified.

Which brings me to apocalypses, the real topic of today.

So first, a way to rank apocalypses. Because, the world destroying laser is not as bad as switching off the matrix.

So, without further ado, here are my ranks:

Rank Alpha: Personal Disruption: A single person is injured or becomes sick, which causes harm to them but they recover.


Rank Beta: Personal Destruction: A single person is permamently killed.

Rank Gamma: Local Disruption: An entire town suffers some sort of harm that sets it back a lot.

Rank Delta: Local Destruction: An entire town is permanently destroyed or in some other way rendered permamently uninhabitable.

Rank Epsilon: National Disruption: An entire country is set back a lot through some harm like flooding or a natural disaster.

Rank Stigma: National Destruction: An entire country is completely destroyed or rendered permamently uninhabitable

Rank Zeta: Global Disruption: The whole of the human race is set back in technology to the pre-industrial era, or otherwise slowed down in development to an equivalent level.

Rank Eta: Global Destruction: The entire Earth is destroyed.

Rank Theta: Stellar Destruction: The entire solar system is destroyed.

Rank Iota: Galactic Destruction: The entire milky way is destroyed.

Rank Iota-Alpha: Multigalactic Destruction: Multiple galaxies are destroyed.

Rank Iota-Beta: Universal Reconstruction: The entire universe is rebuilt or altered in a way that makes it uninhabitable for humans.

Rank Iota-Gamma: Universal Destruction: The whole of our current timeline is destroyed.

Rank Iota-Delta: Multitemportal Destuction: Our timeline, and all other parallell timelines are destroyed.

Rank Iota-Epsilon: Omniversal Destruction: Every possible universe in every possible timeline is destroyed.

So, turning off the simulation would be rank iota-gamma.

Also, look, a chart!
