50 Predictions For The Next Thirty Years People Think Have A 99% Chance Of Becoming A Reality

THAT'S what I really afraid of.

Backatcha.

We just had Hurricane Helene, which caused massive flooding and power outages and, as I write this, over 50 deaths. Lucky me came through it OK.

I really hope so too. Its heart-breaking how many have to suffer.

This. Countries at war over water, food supply and the like. Ppl going to Mars at war over mining rights there too. Do you want any of the douche billion-aires in control of your oxygen on Mars? Nah.

What? All you have to do is what the governor of Florida did and get a a law passed that no state government official/document can use the words "climate change", and everything will be OK. /S

Already does!

As our music sucked to older people in the 70s

Said every older generation about every younger generation since the beginning of human history

We don't need to understand. It's their own language. The music, I'm happy with.

You kids get off my lawn!

Good lord do you remember anything about your teenage years?! Try Rancid or Nirvana on volume 11 or maybe or Dr Dre and Snoop for lyric selection and new verbiage. Do you remember 90’s pop?!? Ace of Bass. All the needs to be said.

There are glimmers of hope; The Warning, Plush, Maneskin to name a few.

You forgot their stupid haircuts!

This is already happening lol

Love the old stuff, 'specially 'Reefer Songs of the 30's and '40's', 'He May Be Your Good Man Friday, But He's Mine on Saturday Night' (Margret Young, 1929?) 'Was I drunk, was he handsome and did Mawma give me hell" Georgia White. Explore the 'classics' with me if you dare. J

In 1978 National Lampoon ran this amazing cover. I saved it for years. It's by Mara McAfee and the mom is actually Ms Shield's mother. 692d60d646...557929.jpg

At least they will not be wearing ripped jeans like some forsaken castaway.

Said every parent who ever lived. :-)

That is how you know you are old

Got news for you, it will be happening. I only know Chapelle Roan music because my nephew likes it. He's 5. I have no chance and finally understand why my dad didn't know anything I started listening to when I was 10.

I STILL don't understand MY youth's slang, and our music is massive amounts of garbage.

Goodness - how hard is it to use a little context when communicating with the youth?

That happened to me years ago.

Music already suck and the popular artists make concieted and boasting "raps" with questionable morals, that's why I like stuff like Ivycomb and the chalkeaters and yobkagor and stuff none of this bull we have on radios and the top 100s today just songs with stories behjnd them, yon puts characters in every song there are theories behind them, the chalkeaters are fudgin hilarious and that's what music should be

There will be no retirement age, you'll be forced to work until death unless you're rich.

And landslides

LOL

I thought WWIII was already happening.

Nationalize Big Pharma and take the profit out of the picture.

We're already living in it.

To me it seems all too obvious that he's written himself into a corner and completely lost interest in the whole thing.

I think the chances of that happening are as big as the same happening in the US.

And a large portion of the Earth especially around the equator will become uninhabitable. Those people won't just sit there and die, they will try and move to safety. Already happening in Europe. The West has a duty to take care of them as they're the primary cause of the catastrophe but you have governments like mine (UK) actively trying to reject and criminalise people just trying to survive.

The end of the middle class is the end of the country.

No surprise here. Anti-immigrant attitudes and propaganda, plus the possibility of climate refugees carrying highly contagious diseases, will stir the s--t pot.

That will be good for the planet.

That's already happening now. But in 30 years, the 99% will have eaten all the 1%.

Animals and plants go extinct daily. It's just you don't notice as they are small.

Isn't that usually how the progress of tech goes? Hard to see it moving backwards

People are already doing that now.

Already is.

Well, now I need a snack.

We could even go as far as a new Civil War. Yikes!

“Invest”. A number of…very wealthy…Nations have already tried…and failed. The money, cost, and technology is insurmountable, compared to the alternatives. The only people that got rich were the “designers”, who disappeared with most of the money.

However, we have enough food to feed the world right now but those who can do something about getting the food to people that need it aren't.

Google- A wet bulb event is a dangerous combination of high heat and humidity that can cause people to overheat and die. The wet bulb effect occurs when the wet-bulb temperature reaches 35°C or higher, and the humidity is very high.

Thank you for your optimism. You can help that come true by voting!

Already there. It’s nearly a full-blown crisis in Japan.

Nope. Will take longer.

People will have their own as long as water resources keep up.

Good. I want to retire on a ranch in Antarctica.

Every... home...?

Dissatisfaction drives progress, but increased complexity of life creates more things to be dissatisfied about.

Melting permafrost is releasing viruses and bacteria against which humans have no defense.

I'm still waiting for the inevitable day when some brilliant monster develops a weaponized disease that targets plant life. And then completely underestimates just how easily their disease spreads. There's no better way to wipe out an entire nation (or the entire planet) than to wipe out a significant chunk of plant life, and plants can't fight back.
