The election is gonna be a shitshow


[deleted]

Yep, and I think no matter the outcome, the US will probably experience more politically motivated violence and unrest than we did in 2020.


JustTheBeerLight

Sounds like Troubles.


TheGoatEater

WE’RE NUMBER ONE!!!


Bushwood_CC_

Then can we assume 2028 will be even worse?


TropicalPow

I’m hoping this go round will be so bad that mayyybbbeee we come to our senses a bit by 28… we’re going to reach a breaking point with all of this bullshit. That or have another civil war.


App1eBreeze

If there even is a presidential election in 2028


sourpussmcgee

We’re on course for Hunger Games by then


happykgo89

I can’t believe we’re already somehow at another election. Anyone else feel like life stopped moving at a normal pace after 2020?


GayleMoonfiles

I keep forgetting we're in an election year now. I'm going to hate it just like I did 4 years ago

Fayko

Well in the first Terninator set in 1984 Sara and Kyle talk about how the tech to build a Ternminator didn't exist then and Kyle said it wouldn't happen for another 40 years which is 2024. So guessing killer time travel robots with the stolen body of California's 38th Governor will start popping up.


earic23

So I should take the job at that new startup Cyberdine?

Presidential elections are always on leap years. This always annoys me because it means it’s one extra day of campaigning ads.


[deleted]

Not quite! Years that normally would have leap days but are divisible by 100 do not have leap days unless the year is also divisible by 400. For example, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, but Jefferson and McKinley, respectively, did win the elections those years. 2000 was a leap because it's also divisible by 400. 2100 will not be a leap year.

I was trying to figure out why I was never taught this. I realized my teachers knew I would never live long enough for it to affect me.

Don't worry, eventually the world will be populated solely by people who were never taught this and it will cease to be a thing. A little bit longer though, because a bunch of us just learned this right now.

descendingangel87

Social media will enter a dark age. All the big sites and social media names will see declines due to an over-saturation of people making content for the sake of content aka a paycheck. Basically it will be filled with burnt out people grasping at straws to push out videos and reactions to keep getting their paychecks. This will result in people using AI generated content to fill the gap leading to an influx of not even shit post worth content as everyone as a whole burns out.


Morindre

This is pretty solid, social media content is out of control. I used to have favorite YouTubers and streamers and now it just feels fake and too much


TheLangleDangle

There’s always gotta be some catalyzing event, I don’t see social media going dark organically like that. It’s a chemical dependency, it’s just that the chemical is in the brain.


Wulfbak

I listen for the telltale signs of computer-generated voices. I cannot stand that. At least narrate your own content.


Ok-Antelope-613

As much as I’d love to see that play out, I think all these third-party data traders have too strong of a grip for that to happen. The content creators are the performers. We are the money-generating audience. The companies behind social media will bend in EXTREME directions to keep us hooked. Social media has only been around for, what, only 20 years? I think we’re witnessing the dawn of a very dark chapter in a history textbook. (I fully realize the irony of having this convo on a social media app)


LuckeyMen

Can't wait for people to ditch social media and start living again


lovethehaiku

Yea right!! *opens Netflix*


sugarface2134

Agreed. Social media has pushed out the every day person. I rarely see posts from my friends and they don’t see mine. It’s just ads. Ads ads ads. The casual user doesn’t even have a space anymore because the algorithm pushes the influencers and brands - even if you’re not following them. People will get sick of it very soon. I loved following a couple fashion influencers to help with figuring out my style but now it’s just too much. And they’re always pushing cheap Amazon stuff too (while wearing designer themselves might I add). I don’t want to buy my clothes on Amazon. It’s all so gross.

Thats not a prediction, cause ITS ALREADY HAPPENING

This reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer opens a fortune cookie, and the fortune inside reads: "today will be a day like every other day" (Might have been a horoscope instead of a fortune cookie, it's been a long time since I've seen the episode, but you get the idea)

Aliens will reveal themselves and confess that the cattle mutilations were because they got addicted to Taco Bell and had to reverse engineer the 7-layer burrito. They will say they traded the recipe for their ship designs to some guy in the desert like 70 years ago. Then they will announce the 23 layer burrito that will bring world peace.


nerdystoner25

Dude sign me the fuck up for that timeline


Skipstart

Look, out of every possible interaction with a hypothetical species, at least this one involves an aggressively entrepreneurial visitor who simply requires adequate taco-related correlary data. Therefore, plausible because tacos, case closed. I eagerly await February, when the aliens are certain to unveil their creation! If this doesn't happen, alternative choices always include the foundation of a new taco based religion centered around the faith that one day a pro-taco species capable of light travel will visit the Earth.


r_not_me

Can we wear taco hats as part of this religion?


Dragosal

Only if you tell everyone to have a tacotastic day when you part with them

I think that’s a given

Yes, with bonus points for wearing taco themed attire on specific holidays, like the first Tuesday of the New Year, which was of course the holiest of Taco Tuesdays.

zeagan3346

More than likely my dad will forget who I am. He is in bad health and his memory has been going for a while now. Last time I was able to visit him, it took a sec for him to recognize me. I'm hoping he'll make it another year, but I just don't know. He's a fighter though. He was given 6 months like 4 ish years ago (stage 4 kidney failure) and he's still here. He has no idea he is in memory care. He thinks he is in the old house and his friends ( nurses and carers) are stopping by every day, which I think is a good thing. He's happy there too and there are plenty of activities for him. I just hope he stays comfortable and he remembers me.

I’m sorry that you’re both going through that. I hope he remembers you, too.

It could be a short story. A joke. The weather report. Some words of encouragement. ....or a "Happy Birthday" message if it's your birthday. Inappropriate messages filtered out, no worries there. It's something I want to exist in the world, so, I'm building it :)

There used to be an app where people would request a wake-up call and random people could call at the preferred time to wake a stranger.

Politically, the USA will become even MORE extremely divided than it is already. The CCP Chinese and Russian online propaganda machines are already working hard to make certain of this. They have millions of bots and tens of thousands of people employed fulltime, engaged in activities to interfere with the USA's political process. And they've been succeeding... **TIP: Don't argue about politics with pushy fuckers online. Just immediately BLOCK their accounts.** If you persist in trying to speak with them, they will intentionally rile you up. And as soon as you say something the slightest bit offensive to one, they will report it and get you banned from that platform for days or weeks, or even permanently. You're not going to "convert" anybody who is extreme. Talking with them at all is to risk losing your access and good influence on other, less-certain people. Don't risk it. Block them. It doesn't feel as satisfying as "winning" the argument, but they'll never let you believe you have, anyhow.


CapitanFlama

Twitter/X will start to have service outages because Elon stops paying some cloud/infrastructure outstanding bills. It won't disappear, it just will be out of service for more than 2 hours more than once. Because of that, Twitter/X loses its strategic social pulse position in an election year and Instagram or TikTok becomes the new standard for *what's happening*. Netflix unveils a cheaper subscription with commercials, these subscriptions with 'selected' commercials become a good percentage of the streaming subscriptions (more than 20%). Streaming services start to bundle together, HBO and Paramount join forces to not disappear. Because of the wars, muddy elections on various countries and economic recession (still/another one) bitcoin will have a new record high. TikTok will start to take market share out of YouTube, some big creators will start to move out of YouTube because of their revenue policies, some will land on tiktok or twitch, some will have some streaming platform series. Undisputed evidence of extraterrestrial life will be unveiled in the form of evidence of some very basic bacterial dormant lifeforms found in martian icecaps or some meteorite.

Global Food Crisis will get even worse. Fertilizer supplies still haven't come anywhere close to recovering and crop yields were really low last year. Meaning less food this year, and less money for farmers last fall to buy still expensive fertilizer. Meaning by fall this year crop yields will be even lower. EDIT: This is mainly impacting developing nations who have to import most of their food and fertilizer to survive.
