The Babylon Bee’s Joel Berry on Best Practices for Surviving the Apocalypse
As we inch ever closer to our next presidential election just a few days away, more than a few have pondered the notion that we as a nation are edging ever closer to the Apocalypse.
For centuries, the term apocalypse has been used to characterize a great disaster, a prophetic revelation, or the end of the world. Vivid imagery of communist takeovers, the rise of artificial intelligence in the form of intelligence-powered death robots, or even real-life zombies walking the face of the earth have often taken over our imagination with scenarios involving the “what-if’s".
For the Babylon Bee’s Kyle Mann and Joel Berry, those scenarios have become an exercise in answering those “what ifs” but in a satirical way. Titled “The Babylon Bee Guide to the Apocalypse”, the writers of the trusted fake news website teach you how to survive every potential end-times situation. In the book’s 248 free-flowing pages, they share valuable resources such as:
- Interior decorating tips that will wow any guests into your 50-story underground nuclear silo,
- Helpful financial tips for what kind of currency and precious metals to hoard for the end of the world,
- Easy bunker construction guides so you can get started building your own apocalypse safe space today.
Simply put, the Babylon Bee’s latest literary offering is certainly presented tongue in cheek, but then again it does give you the tools you need to survive the apocalypse. Hmm …
