Is nye.  Another spelling of nigh.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nigh

I found it spelled nigh, but I've seen it nye too.  I could only find nye with a general google search though.

As in the sentence:  Like the end of the world is sooo nye.

I do not care how it is spelt
Or even wheat or rye,
But I do care why shorty wants
The world's end to be nigh.

Shorty just has had enough.
This world is hard and cruel.
I look around and see the scum,
who eventually will rule.

If you scroll down, all the way down, past the long, long list of other predicted dates, all the way down to the bottom, you can find the future predicted end of the world dates.   No doubt more will be added in the near future as the next big end of the world date passes.

Not "the world", just your world.  I expect to remain unaffected, not having had anything to do with calculus for quite some time.
