How many Germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

One. They are efficient and not very funny.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Never skipped it.

If recent history is any indication (it’s not, but it’s fun to think about), the craziness won’t even start for a few weeks/months:

March 2014: MH370 disappeared.
March 2015: Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 is intentionally crashed in the Alps.
April 2016: The Panama Papers are leaked/published.
February 2017: The Oscars’ presenters forget how to read.
February 2018: Parkland, Florida school shooting.
March 2019: The Boeing 737 Max is effectively banned from flights after a string of crashes.
March 2020: Covid doesn’t start, but finally comes to a breaking point and restrictions are implemented across the US.
March 2021: The container ship Ever Given ran aground in the Suez Canal.
February 2022: Russia invades Ukraine.
February 2023: US Air Force shot down a Chinese spy balloon.

Nemo,

It all started with the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series. They didn’t break the curse, they somehow transferred it to the rest of us.

weirdbeardgame,

We need to go back Marty! We need to stop the Cubs from winning the world series!

Nemo,

I would not be surprised if it’s time travelers who put us in this mess in the first place.

intensely_human,

Well, in the second place

Groove Life makes some fucking solid belts. And if you do actually manage to destroy it somehow, they have a lifetime warranty.

If you toke and like resin carts, Eleaf batteries are amazing. I was going through whatever I could find at smoke shops about once or twice a month before I got an Eleaf. I’ve had this thing for 2 or 3 years now… So long I can’t even remember exactly. It lasts for days and charges in like 10 minutes if you have a quick charge capable charger. Plus it’s compact and also has voltage settings.

GiantRobotTRex,

I haven’t used Eleaf, but I’m very happy with my Vuber. My first one was still going strong after 5+ years until I unfortunately lost it and had to buy a replacement.

weeeeum, in We've already started this year off with crazy shit. What else do you guys think will happen this year and why?

To be honest every year seems to start with “crazy shit”. We just notice it because “omg this year is so crazy already”

Actual aliens will land and just be like “y’all need to chill the fuck out.” And then quarantine the whole planet so we don’t fuck up the rest of the galaxy until we get our collective shit together.

That would actually be a nice change. Can they also put the troublemakers in time out? Please?

intensely_human,

Maybe they could spank us too

I feel like if aliens rolled in it’d be violent somehow. Either some QAnon type schizoid takes shots at Intergalactic Franz Ferdinand and we get absolutely fucked in the war, or they land solely to tell us they’re taking over.

But maybe I’m just looking at Earth’s history of colonization of the various countries a bit too closely.

“Actually it was the dolphins. You guys don’t even wanna know what they say about humans.”

Phillmebucket,

You might be joking but a lot of indications are pointing at this. There has been a lot of buzz in the UAP community for the past three or four years and even some members of Congress are now starting to ask questions.

A congressman was interviewed a couple of days back and he was talking about a debriefing that he got from two Air force pilots that were flying just off the coast of Florida. They recently upgraded their radar systems and they’ve been detecting a lot of anomalies and have encountered craft that are behaving in ways that as of now we don’t consider possible. He said with no quibble in the interview that the US or other foreign Nations have no equivalents of these crafts.

Now whether we’re talking aliens, extra dimensional beings or non-human intelligence is anyone’s guess but something is coming down the pipeline.

PlutoniumAcid,

Occam’s Razor tells me to ignore alien theories. There’s so much secret shit being done, I’m certain it’s all man-made.

intensely_human,

But the Fermi Paradox is a paradox because the lack of alien contact is the weirder explanation.

Alien visitation of earth actually takes mystery away, which was introduced when we realized there should be aliens visiting earth.

Gork,

Yeah they shot down like 3 UFOs and a Chinese spy balloon. One of the UFOs was likely a hobby craft (the one in Alaska was likely a middle school science project). But the other two remain to be explained.

A year later and we’re back to just not talking about any of this, like usual.

Nemo,

Isn’t that more likely to be an artifact of the brand-new radar system? New systems always have bugs.

sbv,

no no its aliens that flew across the galaxy and have nothing better to do than harass the locals

intensely_human,

They flew across the boundary between parallel universes, and if you can’t think of a reason to visit another civilization I hope you never get put in charge of planning the family vacation.

With how, just… Uncool everything turns out once it’s scientifically explained, that thing is probably nothing more than sasquatch. Instead of something that would change our very perceptions of reality, we just get a new species of primate that has somehow eluded capture for a long time.

Violent chaos in the US. One of three things will happen:

  • The Supreme Court sides with the states that want to remove Trump from the ballot. Trump’s minions cry foul and lose their minds.
  • Trump gets on the ballot but he loses to Biden again. Trump’s minions cry foul and lose their minds.
  • Trump gets on the ballot and wins. Trump and the GOP take that as a mandate to govern with impunity, and run roughshod over the country.
Nemo,

Sure, violent chaos, but very localized. Even most right-wingers aren’t devoted to that tool.

The ones that are… they’ll be trouble, as you say.

Pratai,

I’d be willing to bet money they’re a lot less localized than you think.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein,

Yup, the radicalized ones became radicalized through the Internet - there is no specific place in the country that is “safe” because literally anywhere may house a zealous believer ready to get pushed over the line.

Like tens of thousands of little terrorist sleeper cells.

weirdbeardgame,

Yeeahhh that’s kinda the vibe I’ve been getting as well

xkforce, (edited )

Yes and it would very much fit the pattern:

2020: pandemic millions die

2021: january 6th

2022: Ukraine is invaded by Russia

2023: Gaza

2024: ???

callouscomic,

2024: Papua New Guinea launches nuclear device to blow up moon, because why not.

The lack of snowpack in the US plus ocean temps that are already 6σ over historical averages are probably going to make for an “interesting” summer. As a result, I suspect crop failures are going to get a lot more coverage this year.

hoot,

This is the real scenario, right here. Everyone is so focused on increased disaster occurrences that it feels like this is invisible - until its not. Last summer Alberta was under drought conditions, and overall crop yields were 67% of the 5-yr average.

Less and less snowpack means less and less water to deal with worse and worse drought conditions.

kent_eh,

Not to mention increased wildfire risk.

skeezix,

What about fudgepack how does that figure in?

intensely_human,

Also there’s a lot of political pressure disrupting farming too. Food could be a big problem this year.
