The doomsday clock is set at 58 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been since it's creation in 1947 set on January 27 2026. The furthest it has been away from midnight is 17 minutes following the end of the Cold War and the signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.

58 seconds ? Or 89 seconds
Its 85 seconds
Dumb clock
The doomsday clock is a good visual metaphor but you need to remember it’s status is determined by commitee rather than any actual happening and even if it reaches midnight it doesn’t do anything. Its not like midnight launches all the nukes.
They also consider things like climate change and I suspect the risk of AI too (both its environmental impacts and the risks of the it reaching sentience)
It’s like 4AM
The doomsday clock is a political tool now. Far more bias goes into setting the time today than it did during the Cold War. Couldn’t care less what time it reads today.
Only thing this lock has done was inspire an epic metal song.
How about it’s just midnight now. And we’re waiting for all the bells to chime.
Why bother…it’s just based on a conclusion of trends etc by atomic scientists, it is not a reality… it’s been hijacked and used as a political tool to continue to instil fear.
Fear… False Evidence Appearing Real.
Propaganda tool. For context, It was 7 minutes during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
lol this thing cracks me up. Feels like a scare tactic.
With or without daylight savings?
The Doomsday clock was redesigned in 2007 to gauge how closely Hillary Clinton and her cartel, are close to getting exposed. It’s a clock countdown warning to the full release of the Epstein files.
In January 2007, designer Michael Bierut, who was on the Bulletin’s Governing Board, redesigned the Doomsday Clock to give it a more modern feel.
Michael Bierut (born 1957) is a graphic designer, design critic and educator, who has been a partner at design firm ”Pentagram” since 1990. He designed the logo for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
You forgot Daylight Savings. It’s one hour and 89 seconds past midnight. Yeah, still no nukes, cuz they don’t fuckin’ exist.
