@evacide perhaps a concerted effort here could get #Catastrafuck voted as the Merriam-Webster word of the year for 2026. Certainly been plenty of context for it's frequent usage so far, and looking to continue...
Putting on my pedant hat here, but the proper word is "Armageddon." Then again, the original meaning has been mostly lost and almost everyone basically conflates the two words.
A notable exception: Larry Wall (of Perl fame) still uses "Apocalypses" in the original sense...

We are now just seeing all the domianes that go into one. KNowledge is becoming a horrid wisdom.

Let's have the revelation(s).
That's what apocalypsis, or openbaring, is: revelation. Hence the name of that last book of the bible.

Oh, wait, hear me out on this.
An on-going series of apocalypse-level of events - surely that would be "apoc..."
