Regardless of the actual day, which can vary by a few days, is this month
and year a actual Maya end-of-the-world date (according to their long count)
or just hyped rubbish.
If accurate, then do they say how we will meet our doom? asteroid? super
drought? world war? baby boomers all retiring around this time?

The last time the Mayan world ended, their whole civilization collapsed.
Apparently they abandoned their cities and just wandered off into the
jungle to die. It was sort of a cultural Jonestown.
That should be an object lesson on the dangers of apocalyptic religions.

It's not the end of the world, it's the Mayan version of the millenium bug!
