Climate Change

Water/Food SHortage

Global Aging Population (a lot of Snowball Pension system collapsing)

AI (pushing all the profits into the 1% and leaving the middle class broke, the Law Makers will make sure UBI won't happen).

50 Predictions For The Next Thirty Years People Think Have A 99% Chance Of Becoming A Reality We *are* going to see some more bacteria beyond TB and a small number of others that are completely resistant to even last-line antibiotics, and *many* more that are resistant to first and second line treatments.

My group just published our first paper on *P. Aeruginosa,* it's the biggest genomic study of isolates from patients that we know; we sequenced just shy of 3,000 genomes taken all across the world.

**All** of them bar the isolates from ONE patient had a group of 6 genes conferring increased resistance to beta-lactams ([all of these](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%CE%B2-lactam_antibiotics)), fosfomycin, aminoglycosides (eg. Streptomycin) , chloramphenicol, and two different mutations in a d**g efflux pump. The one patient that didn't had the genetic region for the beta-lactam resistance deleted.

Antibiotic resistance already k*lls millions, and its going to k*ll millions more. Most of those are going to be the poor and people living in under-resourced countries.

Settled, i have people in Tobago. It isn't just the outages for A/c, it's the lack of ability to store food. During lockdowns, people started gardens in the jungle because subsistence fishing was banned, outages were common, and food spoilage occurred. I think part of the reason they cook everything so crazy-much is to ward off potential food-borne illness

If it’s “AI generated”, it’s not art. Just an elaborate copy/paste algorithm.

Guy Divorced 3 Years Ago Drops Off 3 Y.O. With His Ex-Wife Completely Out Of The Blue

Rokas is a writer at Bored Panda with a BA in Communication. After working for a sculptor, he fell in love with visual storytelling and enjoys covering everything from TV shows (any Sopranos fans out there?) to photography. Throughout his years in Bored Panda, over 300 million people have read the posts he's written, which is probably more than he could count to.

Photo Editor Assistant at Bored Panda. In 2023, Evelina graduated from the Photography Technology Studies at the Vilnius College of Technology and Design. Photography caught her eye since high school, so after 4 years of spending her free time with a camera and photographing her friends, she decided to turn her hobby into a job she likes. However, as usually happens after the studies, Evelina felt that she lost herself in photography and decided to take a break on that, but not completely abandon photography itself. Besides photography, Evelina also found another hobby - embroidery. She creates tote bags with her embroidered designs, so as you can understand, she loves arts and crafts. Also, Evelina spent all her 12 years at school with music by her side, which is still one of the most important things in her life.

I’m afraid so. But on the other hand, for some people this could result in a boost of creativity in using their computer keyboards. Simple as fück/f**k/fork/fnck, etc. ain’t it? (I’m sooo much looking forward to listening to Eric Idle sing again «Fück Christmas». That’s my all-time favourite “seasonal” song. ;–) [Edit: F**k my MacBook Pro’s keyboard. It definitely wasn’t made for the hands of a finger-style bass player, so screw ‘em.

One big problem: breeding pets. Puppy mills and “responsible” breeding. It’s all contributing to horrific pet overpopulation. Shelter pets lose their chances of going to a forever home, every time someone buys a pet instead of adopting one. Millions lose their lives. Our shelters are full to the max. Until our shelters are empty (including no more homeless animals on our streets), all breeding should be illegal. Please adopt at petfinder online. Help cruel puppy mills close down. Spay and neuter.

I hope like hell that the younger generations will continue to move the world forward. But I would hope that you would do it with a better and more compassionate understanding of the progress each generation before you has made on the world they inherited. I was born in 1965 and have worked for equality for LGBTQA+, the disabled and environmental causes. All of which were culturally taboo at the time. Countless millions of us did. And we gave you a more accepting world than the one we were born to. We know it isn't perfect but please don't dismiss us as trash.

A long slide away, the recourse war. It'll have more consequences than you know of, more than my comment. We'll be in trouble for climate change, food shortage, all that. Dying of lack of shelter, food, killing each other in war. But this planet does have a tipping point. Say we do happen to get a chance to try again. We will never get farther than the farm age. Recourses that allowed that evolution in history are already at a record breaking low. We need those if we ever get to try again, and we won't have it. This'll is be a thing centuries from now, but the future isn't sci-fi, it's more historic.

There will continue to be enough housing to house all homeless people in the US, and enough food to feed every person there, and yet American society will continue to allow homelessness and starvation anyways

I’ll be dead. That’s nowhere near the privilege of never even having existed, but it’s fine with me. Organic life and consciousness don’t go together very well. In fact this combination really sucks. The formula “Feed. Fück. Fade Away.” is definitely not my idea of fun.

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." - Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 AI is just a tool of change, which there have been since fire and the wheel. There will always be wars and rumors of war. Global warming may make the planet uninhabitable - for certain species. Even a nuclear war will leave the mountains and the oceans. Humanity is not the earth, we are just tenants, and we're not likely to get our damage deposit back.

Things really don't change this quickly. 30 years ago - 1994? Is the world so different? Then before that, 1964, 1934 - of course there were changes, but never as advanced as sci-fi would lead you to expect. I expect the pace of change to step up now that we have the internet, but I don't expect it to keep accelerating.

Now it is revealed how easy Kia cars could be hacked, people still clinge to convenience. Convenience always comes with a high price, and most of the times people do realise too late that it is not only some poor nobody far away hit, but they themselves. Another example of old-fashioned beats modern: An 17 year old V70 is easier, safer and quicker to operate with the buttons than any modern electrificated car with screens only. https://www.vibilagare.se/english/physical-buttons-outperform-touchscreens-new-cars-test-finds . They are of course biased, but seen that the EU will demand that five core functions must be buttons, otherwise the safety rating will be lowered, there seems to be some truth in it.

Not too much of a stretch to expect another Carrington level event. Huge solar storm that wipes out our electrical grid and most of the electronics. Wake up one morning and it will be "Welcome to 1735!" and no one knows how to do anything useful. A planet of beings whose main skill is (was) to stare at and tap on a f*****g screen.

Additionally to losing patience, humanity is very busy to make itself obsolete. AI is taking over, the reasoning is "nobody needs to do repetetive and dull jobs any more". The clever heads forget, that not everybody of the 8 billion people is smart as hell, and "dull and repetetive jobs" (whatever the definition is, most jobs are like this) are necessary to pay for housing, food, clothing and health. So if there are no jobs anymore, most humans are obsolete. So there is no reason at all in investing in life-lengthening measures and medication. We have enough AI in most countries, stop it.

Just this morning (it is morning here) I read an article in the papers about streaming taking over more and more, and that traditional tv is loosing ground. As result the Netflixens are raising their fees, making it more difficult to pay for it. The point of it: The people living in a modern world are getting addicted to convenience and getting immediately what they want. One neat thing one learned back then when a new episode was only on once a week, and only on that one moment, was patience. The only chance for binge watching where saturday morning cartoons (for the US, here tv didn't broadcast before 9, and then it was school stuff until 12) or after video cassettes were invented and affordable, watching pre-recorded tapes.
