The end of the world is a giant pain in the ass, especially when it doesn’t arrive as promised. A Mississippi man, who prepared in earnest for the Mayan apocalypse he was sure would occur, just took to Reddit for an Ask Me Anything about his not-so-near-death experience. A few exchanges follow.

Question:

What’s your IQ? 

Answer:

Not sure, but I am a pretty intelligent person, I maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school. Like I said, it was mainly just something to do, in fact I’m gonna keep preparing in case something ever happens.

Question:

WHY?????????

Answer:

Well for a couple of reasons really, with the main one being it was just something to do, I am a redneck, ‘Murica, and the way things were going, it just seemed like it would happen.

Question:

The way things were going??? What state do you live in??

Answer:

Mississippi, and what I mean by that is, the global political situation, the tension in the Middle East, and our economy.

Question:

What preparations did you make? Also, how did you expect it to end?

Answer:

Well lets see here, a few years ago I built a bunker on my property, for said reason, and it has actually proved to be extremely useful, my family and I use it as a storm shelter. I also bought tons of bottled water, weapons, ammunition, reinforced my house, bought lots of camping and general survival supplies.How I expected it to end? I honestly wasn’t sure, I just made a general survival plan that could apply to a huge variety of situations.
