'Time traveller from 2671' shares earth-shattering predictions for this December
You might think the most stressful things on the cards this December are last-minute Christmas shopping and large family gatherings. But, if you believe the word of a mysterious self-styled “time traveller from the year 2671”, life is about to get a whole lot more chaotic. Apocalyptic weather events, secret underground communities and even the elixir of life await us in the coming weeks, according to Eno Alaric. In a TikTok, which has racked up 2.3 million views in just one week, he claimed we should all brace for the following events, starting next Monday… December 4 “A project known as ‘Extraction’ begins, where explorers find entire civilizations underground,” Alaric says. “It is run by Elon Musk, and what they find is truly incredible, there are intelligent species smarter than humans.” December 8 “A family of four megalodons are found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench,” he writes, referring to the giant shark species that became extinct millions of years ago. “This discovery leads to many other extinct species to be found, like the sabre tooth tiger and pterodactyls." December 19 “A new type of storm forms, called ‘Electric Hail’ where lightning and hail mix. “It causes the hail to shock and burn everything it touches, the worst are third-degree burns.” December 28 “Scientists discover a new fruit underground, it slows down ageing “Known as ‘Astrum’, whoever eats this adds 200 years to their lifetime, and only five of them can be eaten per person.” Well, at least it’s not all bad then, eh? Though, we’re not sure we’d want to live another 1,000 years in a world blighted by electric hail and resurrected monsters. @radianttimetraveler December is for the ones… #fyp #fypage #timetravel #timetraveler #radianttime #viral #xyzbca #entertainment Inevitably, these grand predictions have been met with ridicule by many, with a number insisting they’d rather just know when the latest Grand Theft Auto (GTA) game is going to be released. Some pedants even pointed out that the megalodon was a shallow-water shark which wouldn’t have been able to adapt to the deep waters of the Mariana Trench (the deepest part of the ocean) in just a few million years. And for anyone still needing reassurance that Alaric isn’t to be trusted, his previous outlandish claims have failed to pass. On October 3, for example, an alien ship was due to fall to Earth during a large meteor shower, containing a “hostile species”. “This alien escapes the pod as soon as it lands and begins to [wreak] havoc on large cities,” he said back in August. Then, on November 6, the Sun was supposed to “let out an unknown energy” that would cause a new type of disease, leading people to “lose control of their minds and act similar to zombies’.” @radianttimetraveler The issues of the end of 2023… #fyp #foryou #timetravel #timetraveler #radianttime #viral #xyzbca #entertainment All we can say is, our time-travelling friend has been sharing his apocalyptic accounts of the future since 2022, and we’re impressed with how much he’s come up with. If nothing else, he’s created ample fodder for sci-fi fans. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Welcome to Hell – Erik ten Hag confident Man Utd can handle Gala atmosphere
Erik ten Hag says Manchester United must keep calm and in control of their emotions if they are to emerge from their ‘Welcome to Hell’ experience at Galatasaray with their Champions League hopes alive. It is 30 years since the Red Devils’ first trip to the Istanbul giants, who progressed on away goals from that highly-charged encounter punctuated by hostility and intimidation. United have visited Galatasaray twice in the Champions League since then and are now preparing for a huge clash for both sides amid an ear-splitting backdrop at Rams Park on Wednesday. The Turkish champions are well placed to qualify having won the reverse fixture 3-2 and Ten Hag knows his side will be unable to reach the knockout phase if they lose the Group A encounter. “We know we can (win away in Europe) and we are confident,” Ten Hag said. “The last games away from home in the league were also very hostile environments. We played very well. We were very calm and composed. “This team also last year in Barcelona (in the Europa League did well), so we know how to deal with it and I’m sure it will be tomorrow a confident team on the pitch.” Asked if he will stress to his players to keep their heads and remain disciplined, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely. You have to stay calm in your head and don’t get too emotional. You need the emotions but you have to control it. “That you don’t give them anything, that you don’t give the referee as well at that moment that they’re going to take, so you have to stay away from such moments. “We know how to deal with it. You have to play confident and you have to make it your game, so it’s not that important how the opponent is playing. “It’s important how we are playing, how we are dealing with possession, how we are dealing with out of possession, so normal stuff. We will make a good plan but then, at the end of day, the players have to decide, they have to manage the game.” United have failed to so much as score in their three visits to Galatasaray, who have embraced the ‘Welcome to Hell’ phase made famous in their 1993 meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson’s side. There are few more hostile environments in European football and Ten Hag was asked by a Turkish journalist what his plans were “to get out of hell” on Wednesday. “We have to make it our game and it’s the history,” the Dutchman said. “Obviously Manchester United has a great history, but you can’t take any guarantee from it in the future, so we have to make our own future. It’s the past, so tomorrow, it’s about the future, so we have to make it our game. It’s on us.” The last games away from home in the league were also very hostile environments. We played very well. We were very calm and composed Erik ten Hag United head to Istanbul without a variety of first-team players, with Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen among those injured. Jonny Evans, Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia and Amad Diallo are also sidelined, while Jadon Sancho remains banished from the squad and Donny van de Beek was not registered for the Champions League. Marcus Rashford serves a one-match ban for his sending off in the 4-3 loss at Copenhagen earlier this month, but striker Rasmus Hojlund and winger Antony are available. Ten Hag confirmed “they are in the squad” after missing Sunday’s 3-0 win at Everton through injury – a match in which Kobbie Mainoo shone on his first Premier League start. The highly-rated 18-year-old put in an eye-catching display at Goodison Park and Ten Hag would have no hesitation throwing him in again. “No, we don’t have fear (of starting Mainoo again),” Ten Hag said. “If players are good enough, then they are old enough.” Read More Former Sheffield United and Everton defender Phil Jagielka announces retirement Bruno Fernandes excited for ‘amazing’ atmosphere at Galatasaray Man City unveil statue of club greats Mike Summerbee, Colin Bell and Francis Lee Football rumours: Juventus eyeing swoop for Thomas Partey On this day in 2015: Jamie Vardy scores in 11th game in a row Chicago Bears end their losing run against Minnesota Vikings
