I was really hoping to go through life without needing to know what the plural of "apocalypse" is.

Poly crisis

@hnapel I think what we are experiencing is more of an apocellipsis, where the world is ending but it's also never quite gets there.

[franciswashere@mastodon.social]

@evacide Oh that's easy. Apocalypses. From Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

[buthowhighishigh@mastodon.social]

@evacide throwing my vote towards apocalypso as the plural

[cellomomoncars@mastodon.social]

@evacide @hnapel

Let's have the revelation(s).

That's what apocalypsis, or openbaring, is: revelation. Hence the name of that last book of the bible.
I can think of a few revelations to root for.

@evacide I always appreciated Morin's "polycrisis".

[jasonbeets@newsie.social]

@evacide

Apocalypses would be more straightforward.

Apocalyptica sounds more fun.

[shadsterling@mastodon.social]

@alexmdunne @evacide polycalypse?

[michaelgemar@cosocial.ca]

@evacide @jasonbeets @hnapel Zeno’s Armageddon.

[alexmdunne@mastodon.social]

@ShadSterling @evacide

Or "apolypocalypse" which kinda sounds like a #POKEMON

[the_wub@mastodon.social]

@evacide Perhaps we are all experiencing a discombobulation of apocalypses?

@maya_b @evacide “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

@mike Then I suggest that you don’t look it up on Wiktionary. Their vote is boring.

[bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot]

@evacide Good Buffy reference. That was always one of my favorite lines.

[sharpcheddargoblin@kolektiva.social]

@evacide According to Gibson's "The Peripheral", that would be a Jackpot.

@evacide

If it works kind of like “cyclops”, then:

“apocalypese” (a-pocka-lipp-eez)

[worik@mastodon.social]

@Darkphoenix @evacide ???

[muddle@infosec.exchange]

@evacide Putting on my pedant hat here, but the proper word is "Armageddon." Then again, the original meaning has been mostly lost and almost everyone basically conflates the two words.

A notable exception: Larry Wall (of Perl fame) still uses "Apocalypses" in the original sense...
