How do you know when it is time for a cataclysm?

When you see the animals, birds and insects dying.

The answer is simple: Go to a store soon where you can purchase a top-quality magnetic compass, one wherein you can lock the free north-south indicating needle in any position you desire. The bigger it is, the better off you are. Then purchase an accurate stopwatch. Take them home and put them by your bedside. Have a paper under the compass with two diameters marked off at 90 degrees to each other in a circle larger than the diameter of your compass. Put your compass on the paper, centered within the circle. Unlock the compass needle and set it on north. Set the compass case so that its north coincides with the compass needle, and place the paper underneath so that one of its diameters is on the compass case. Tape the paper in place. Put the compass back so that its needle is pointed north, along the north-south line on the paper underneath. Then go to bed and have a good night's sleep. In the morning, hold the compass steadily as it is positioned in the circle beneath it, and lock the needle in place. Then turn the compass case left or right 90 degrees; use the 90-degree line on the paper underneath as a guide. Hold the case absolutely still, then release the needle. The needle will then swing toward north, and oscillate back and forth, diminishing in its swing a little each time. With the stopwatch, observe the time necessary for the compass needle to stop oscillating from its release time to first quiet settled-down time.

There will come the day, if indeed we are going to enter the galaxy's magnetic null zone as soon as the mathematics tables indicate we will, that you will find the settling down time increasing, as the needles oscillations will become sluggish. It could be that the time for settling down will stay nearly the same, but the number of oscillations required for the needle to settle down will decrease. So, perhaps in addition to recording the stopwatch time duration, also record the number of oscillations required for the needle to settle down. Either way, you will discern by your data that indeed, the Earth's magnetic field strength has decreased to a critical level. NOW! Take your family and your entire survival storage to your secret retreat. I hope you will not have waited this long to pack it and get it ready to go. Leave behind everything you can do without.

5 star thread

this is some real shit right here, I'm tired of hearing about societal issues

please tell us more of the null zone

THANK YOU so much my friend! That is some amazing stuff you have put together. Have you bought these things yourself yet? And do you have your 'place' that you will go to if you get a heads up?

what are you so sad about that this obsession distracts you from?

So stupid and alarmist. Doom is always in the mind. Nothing will happen as usual, and if it does, however much you are prepared, you won't survive it. Have you ever thought of how post apocalyptic the world will be after this fictional event?

GLP is a state of mind.

What a fear mongering circle jerk.

NOW we're talking. Best thread I've seen in months, if not longer. Thanks for the invaluable, concise, yet condensed information.
