End Of The World As We Know It.

thoughts?

how do you think the world will end?

-zombies?
-world War 3?
-hyper inflation?
-?

where will you be? how will you survive?

toss on your tin foil hats and grab some popcorn.

I'm gonna guess that the 25th variant of covid will create zombies and I'm gonna ride it out in the mountains.

Looking forward to CiC posting.

i think it'll be like the fallout universe where we get annexed by the USA and there is a global resource war leading to mutually assured destruction

that or climate change will kill us all and that stupid Greta zucchini mouth Thunberg is right.

[Eff-1]

this thread depresses me. there is already enough doom and gloom to read about everyday. I'll pass on this one.

[murd0c]

a mix of hyper inflation and cataclysmic natural disaster from mostly flooding and other events caused by natural climate change.

[unit]

guess i'll just die

This would be pretty wild if it happened.

Canada, the US and Mexico all annexed into one super country.

[Badhobz]

I got a feeling that US is heading towards civil war 2.0 faster than them taking on another global conflict. Their internal political divide is no joke.

I feel like 5 years ago what I write below would have seemed absolutely ridiculous, but now it's real enough that it's maybe even possible within our lifetime?

- I think corporations will take over everything in our lives, we won't own anything, everything will be subscription based -- driving a car, renting a dwelling, food, entertainment... some of these things already are, but it's only going to expand and people will almost never leave their houses, travel will become difficult or costly to a point that only an elite level of people are able to partake in air travel

- I think that programs currently available in China and other places that allow you to decide genetics of babies will get out of control and a race of identical perfect looking highly intelligent and disease/defect free humans will be created, eventually resulting in a homogenous society and the sterilization of individuality

- I don't think the world will end per-say, but I do think it will become controlled to a point where only a few are able to understand anymore even what the world is beyond what they're told while restricted to their domiciles or sector

[Great68]

Climate change will reduce arable land, Murdoc mentioned hyperinflation which I agree, will mostly happen with food costs.

Poorer countries who already can't feed themselves will be fucked. Mass starvation and mass migration causing further political instability in many countries.

That's probably going to bring about massive changes in social policies and way of life. World population will decrease to reach a new equilibrium with available resources.

That's just end up having us become like bananas. Everyone is so similar it just needs one deadly bug for wipe out the entire population.

[donk.]

Is OP skidz?

[Hondaracer]

Big swaths of India and Africa where literally billions of people live are already becoming uninhabitable due to heat, drought, etc.

In turn those people generally flee to the larger cities where resources are at least available, puting more and more stress on the infrastructure of those places. I think in Canada and Vancouver especially we are insulated from many of the greater problems of the world due to geography. It’s much harder to reach the west coast of Canada than almost anywhere else in North America due to flight routes etc.

[JDMDreams]

Trump 2.0 if you have a first world supporting a person like that as a leader

LOL what? 44% of the population of Vancouver was born outside of Canada. LA is at 36%, New York is at 29% and London is at 37%.

[WD-40]

Series of solar storms that cause irreparable damage to everything from electrical grid, telecommunications, satellites, etc. As a result, world economy collapses due to massive food shortages. Distribution issues. No power to farms, greenhouses, irrigation systems, etc. Military defence systems affected to the point the superpowers are no longer in control. Worst yet, over a very short time, natural disasters increase to the point the atmosphere becomes toxic. Ocean boils over. Planet becomes one big graveyard.


How's that for depressing?


Maybe now I can get that pesky message from popping up. I posted something.

Same. I think of this too much already, and I avoid it as much as I can. I'm glad I don't have kids.

Lol my YouTube algorithm keeps suggesting videos on this kinda stuff i.e. WEF, great reset kinda stuff.

I've always wondered if those investment companies like black rock were really buying real estate.

[teggy604]

More than half of Vancouverites are not even prepared to handle a earthquake, let alone end of world situations. Lol.

I think this will be it, and we might see it within our lifetimes.
What happens when billions of people are living in 50+ degree temperatures?

Perpetual AC usage driving up the need for more energy in turn burning more fossil fuels and creating a pollution cycle?

[SkinnyPupp]

10 years ago, most Vancouverites wouldn't have dreamed of needing to use an AC. Just opening some windows was enough. Now look at the "Heat Wave" thread. It's scary

[snowball]

Eat the rich and the brainwashed climate change deniers once we start getting overrun by climate refugees. It's coming faster than we think.

Someone on the real estate thread recently said their brother sold 2 houses in east van to Blackrock!
