Hey Pandas, What Are Your Optimistic Predictions For 2025?
I've seen a lot of dismal to apocalyptic predictions, especially regarding the US. I want to hear your positive predictions. It could be as broad or as specific as you like.

I'm trying to be optimistic that this is the year I get control of my body. It's a plan I make every year and fail every year.
My body has been through a lot - cancer twice - and I owe it so much for sticking with me and surviving.
But it needs to be looked after now. It needs to stop being abused by food and my mental state. It deserves a break and a healthy new mindset.
I hope I don't write this same thing next year, or before it's too late.
Obesity is a horrible, all-consuming mental illness. For those of you that say "stop eating so much" or "eat healthy".... it's not that easy when your mind is your biggest enemy. Have some compassion, and pray you never know what it's like.

The Republicans finally see what the new power couple of Trump and Musk for what they really are and rebel against Trump.

I'd love for this to be real because it means they're actually paying attention to what's going on and not just what's being said. I don't mean to alarm anyone but I'm still pointing out to my maga coworkers that some things things they complain about actually were put into law by their Republicans. They don't care.......they don't care. Anything is better than "the left".
#3
More people will turn to traditional skills to attain as much self-sufficiency as possible. Gardening, canning, farming, carpentry, sewing etc... Can't afford a house on my salary, I'll learn to build my own!
#4
I predict we will gain some very interesting scientific knowledge from the Parker Solar Probe in 2025. For those who do not know, this probe just got it's first taste of our sun's corona on Dec.24th.

That Bored Panda deletes their stupid "premium" subscription, or everybody switches to Reddit or something funny... r/unexpectedchaos delivers far better content than this shithole. The censoring is outrageous, as is the requirement to pay for dark mode. Lol, no, I will not f*****g do that. I will protect my eyes and go to a better website. This is my hope. My other hope is my 30 year old Saab convertible finally starts.

And that we get back so we can see notifications here. But maybe that now also is Premium? 😅

We no longer hope for better worlds. I no longer have any optimism.

I think that people will fight back against mass consumerism and buy less things

I think you're dead on about this, except that it will be because we're forced to due to resellers/scalpers driving up the prices of everything!

Stranded astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will safely come back to Earth by March 2025.

Glass half full ...glass half empty...we'll be lucky if we get to keep the glass.
#10
There are no positive predictions for 2025-2029. The American majority has made this country catastrophic. If you are Black, Jewish, Gay, an immigrant (which was welcomed with that "Statue of Liberty" ...liberty which no longer exists...or any minority...poor or smart...you are f'cked.
#11
I think more people are seeing not only the benefit of eating a fully plant based diet, but actually becoming a true vegan and avoiding the mass cruelty that is rampant . I think eyes are finally ( slowly) opening.❤️🤞🏻

I am slowly heading more and more plant based. Health benefits and better for the planet eventually. The current farming industry, supporting the meat industry is unsustainable and is ravaging the Earth. Whilst asking everyone to turn away from meat is a big ask, if we at least worked on halving our meat consumption then go from there, the planet might have a chance.
#12
That I will find an agent, acting and or writing work, and get a global talent visa in the UK. Very optimistic...
#13
Cease fire in Ukraine and Russian conflict, cease fire in the Israeli/Palestine conflict
BeesEelsAndPups 1 day ago
I think Trump is going to throw US support behind Russia in the Ukraine invasion. So in some ways, I believe him when he says he can end that war quickly, it will just end in Russia's favor. A cease fire in Palestine is nice, but it won't last. It never does. There are two opposing forces each committed to the absolute eradication of the other, in a level of fanaticism which the ends are justified by any means necessary. Including their own eradication.

after the 8+ yrs in which it seems some people have become empowered to show a more negative side of themselves i am hoping that they will realize that such behavior, words, and thoughts are more destructive to themselves than those that they target. and, i don't mean just the republicans/maga or democrats/liberal/progressives as there has been actions from all sides that have been been harmful - that means both active and passive action, by the way. while i know that some will disagree with me i do believe that the majority of people have a good side to themselves and it is often hidden due to personal experiences because they don't want to be vulnerable again. with the current climate of division, we all need to be more courageous to come out of our shells and stick our foot on the algae regardless of how our so-called leaders want to turn the tide against us as citizens.
#16
My prediction is that I will be able to put away a little money each year so I can buy a house in 5 year's time. I need to put together a $100K down payment, and I have worked out the math to make it happen, but I need to avoid HUGE new expenses.
