A year after the supposed year of the end of the world has passed without incident.

The goalposts must be kept moving.

Even before 2012 people were saying it was either 2012 or 2021 and we're not sure which. The reasoning was basically that some years are missing from the calendar.

It came back in 2020 with a slightly different number: https://www.republicworld.com/fact-check/viral/fact-check-di...
