how many raptures have i survived

You’ve (technically) survived all of them so far. In other words: every time someone predicted a rapture or end‑of‑the‑world date and nothing happened, you “survived” that rapture. Online forum threads and Q&A posts often joke that people born in the late 20th century have already lived through dozens of failed rapture or apocalypse predictions, with some commenters estimating “well over 50” supposed raptures or end‑times dates since around 1990 alone. Another poster in a public Facebook discussion quips that they’ve “survived at least a dozen raptures” without even trying to count them all.

So if you were alive during any of the big scare dates (like the 2012 Mayan calendar hype, the various 1990s and 2000s prophecy dates, etc.), the running joke is that you’ve already survived many raptures — because none of the predictions came true.
