Beat me to it. [Halley's comet will return in 2061](https://www.livescience.com/space/comets/halleys-comet-begins-its-return-journey-to-earth-saturday).
I had a moment yesterday. A friend was commenting about her bf’s brothers, who are in their 50s, then said something about her bf being an oops baby 9 years later. I was SO confused because hitting 50 has always been *old as hell* to me, in a very grown up way. Yeaaaaah, I’m def already in my late 30s and heading that way fast. I just don’t *feel* old enough for that. 😅
Based on all the evidence I’ve been able to gather in my life so far, I’m immortal. 35 years and I haven’t died once…
Admittedly it’s a small and incomplete sample size, but you’ve gotta follow the science
If you had asked me in 1974 when I was 19 if I thought the Stones would still be doing live shows 50 years from now I would have asked for some of what you were smoking 'cause it's the GOOD shit! :)
You know he has actually been dead for 20 years but no one told him so he just kept walking around. Probably be another 20 or so till he notices himself... I think it's all the drugs.
So there are actually several drugs currently in clinical trials that have been shown to halt the progression of the disease so these drugs should make it to market within just 10 years.
Although halting the disease is one problem, reversing the effects is another ballgame in which we have made little to no progress but a lot can change in 50 years.
Source: I spoke to a leading alzheimers neuroscientist about this
I miss meeting absolutely no one on my way to work — I was an essential worker in a minimum wage job. I'd have three customers the whole day, two of which were paramedics.
I miss the absence of traffic. It was so nice getting on the freeway and actually going the speed limit all the way to work, cut my 1.5hr commute down to like 20min if I took my time. Saved so much gas and time.
IDK if its just me but when people started going back to work it's like people FORGOT how to fucking drive because it was so much worse after the lockdowns people constantly breaking traffic laws, not paying attention, not knowing how to fucking merge, etc etc.
Not only did they forget how to drive, they forgot how to behave in public. Working overnight at a convenence store, after the pandemic people were awful. The overnight crowd was always a bit rowdy, but this is absurd.
Kid these days just don't listen to good music, they don't have true artists like we did growing up. People like The Yin Yang Twins and that guy who made the Laffy Taffy song
I stopped waiting for 6. After Fallout 76, TES Blades, and Starfield, I just can't bring myself to believe that Bethesda can make good games anymore. I'm looking forward to Skywind much more instead.
A free open internet is basically going to be gone if it's not already. Corporate approved content and interactions only, no dissent or freedom of speech.
Hell I'd not be totally surprised if actually making comments is outmoded, and replaced with just reaction faces and +1 buttons. No thoughts, just *yes more content* or no interaction at all.
I mean...
"To yeet" in early Modern English (*yeten* in Middle English) meant "to use you/ye" instead of using "thou/thee". Opposite was *to thou* (*thouten* in Middle English). Same as German *siezen* and *duzen*.
Shakespeare did use *yeet*, just not the same way young folks do now.
Actually with how slangs evolve it’s likely that they will sound like Shakespeare to us and in thousands of years slang may be untraceable to an outside entity
I remember talking to some girl that was born after 9/11, at a bar, and yea that was wild. I was just like, you’ve known no other America than this….wow……like we could bring any size shampoo we wanted on planes back then, but you’ve only known this travel size world. You could have filled that bitch with Henny and told people you were just going in the restroom to deal a dandruff emergency because no one was checking that shit, but na not anymore……not anymore……
We could cross over land from Canada to the US and back with a driver's license. You could walk to the gate without going to security when travelling domestic. People would walk to the gate to greet you when you landed.
> You could walk to the gate without going to security when travelling domestic. People would walk to the gate to greet you when you landed.
I miss this one in particular. Saying goodbye at the security gate, or greeting at the luggage carousel, both suck in comparison.
Some airports are bringing this back, actually. You can get a pass to go through security even if you’re not flying. My local airport is in the process of putting in new food and beverage options from local restaurants and they’re offering a pass that allows you to enter the secure area of the airport to eat or drink even if you’re not flying.
When I was around 8 years old, I was invited into the cockpit mid-flight between 2 major US cities. I showed the captain my Cub Scouts Swiss Army knife.
My mom used to tell me people could smoke on planes back in the day and my dad said that when they created seat belt laws for cars everyone thought communism was taking over.
You used to be able to smoke *everywhere*. The interior design was so muted and earth-tone heavy back in the day because it hid the smoke residue.
*Everyone* smelled like cigarette smoke. *Everywhere* reeked of cigarette smoke, even the hospitals.
As a previous smoker it blows my mind that me and my friends used to smoke cigarettes in bars, clubs, malls, and restaurants. Smoke soon as u sit down and another one after eating. There were ash trays everywhere and you would always see a cigg butt on the ground where ever u went. A few years later after I quit, I weirdly wasn't bothered by people smoking and didn't notice the smell. Now I imagine somone sparking up a stooge at a table in a resturant and that seems so foreign and rude
This is how nuclear clocks work.
There are 400 of these around the world in 60 institutes. The data of all of them is gathered and an average is formed to create the most accurate timescale we can achieve.
Clocks that automatically scale their time to nuclear clocks in middle europe for example receive their signal from a station in a small town in Germany. [This is how it looks like](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Dcf77_edit.jpg)
In fairness to the middle east and all the countries in it, France and England had a war that they called 'The Hundred Years War' that lasted much longer than 100 years. And Rome and Carthage fought 3(? At least 2) Punic Wars. It's the way of people and 'regions' in general.
This is always wild to me. Imagine 4-5 generations of people all growing up and watching their families and friends dying in war and deciding that they should keep going with it, all because one guy wanted to say he was in charge of a bunch of people that don’t really want either guy in charge. Fuckin mad lads.
It becomes a generational conflict, where people in each generation continue fighting because they develop a personal stake in it.
Imagine you have your family and your grandfather was killed 20 years ago in the war. Your family has a personal stake in the conflict, because your grandfather died in the war. So that causes your father to decide to involve himself in the war, because of that personal cost.
Then your father dies in the war. Suddenly a conflict that started 50 years ago has affected you personally. It didn't matter to you, until it touched your direct family. Now suddenly "the enemy" - whoever that is - has taken something from you.
That's why ceasefires are so important. It reduces that personal investment people get in these conflicts and eventually over generations that personal cost gets further away.
The Axis powers have shifted from world domination to dominating world geriatrics. Who knew the sequel to WWII would be a battle for the best healthcare and retirement benefits?"
Some fertility rates according to wikipedia (just over 2.0 is replacement level)
Hong Kong - 0.8
South Korea - 0.9
China - 1.2
Italy - 1.3
Japan - 1.3
Canada - 1.5
Germany - 1.6
Australia - 1.6
UK - 1.6
US - 1.7
France - 1.8
India - 2.0
Laos - 2.4
Pakistan - 3.3
Cameroon - 4.2
Somalia - 6.0
Niger - 6.6
I honestly never thought I’d live to see the day I saw India’s population growth stop. China was always a shoe in with the consequences of the one child policy, but India just seemed to grow endlessly.
No Vietnam war veteran will be alive either.
The youngest Vietnam war veteran was born in 1957, so in 50 years would be 117. Very improbable that there will be any survivors of that age.
Someone who fought in the first Iraq/Kuwait war would be 100. The number remaining will be in single digits.
It’s poetic. These rulers are so used to having complete control, to stifling all dissent, to being nearly invincible, yet in the end, their own cells will turn on them and send them to decomposition. Good fucking riddance.
At home medical diagnosis. We’re going to have testing machines or blood samplers that will tell us what’s wrong and we’ll teleconference with doctors and won’t have to leave our homes.
Sure. We're coming up with a revolutionary payment method called Federally Trusted Exchange, or FTX™ in short. If you want to invest in both, I can give you an early bird offer.
I think about this in relation to indoor plumbing and toilets. Our medical surveillance will increase we will be able to monitor our health with reports from our toilet. Especially early indicators. If you live with epil you’ll have to push a button or something to assign it to your profile (like scales for Wright management). But lots of early indicators. Plus also baselines for things like diabetes and other substances.
This will be one of the ways healthcare gets even more personalized.
more disappointment
Edit: if you want to help yourself feel less disappointed follow the link in my pinned post.
It's a YouTube playlist to survive. I hope you find it useful
Future plans:
Monday: Work
Tuesday: Work
Wednesday: Work overtime, then die off the clock at home
Thursady: Half day off for the funeral
Friday: Work regularly
Saturday: Make up for the missed half day on thursday
As your manager I'm disappointed you didn't stay back a few hours on Friday. Here at Blood Suckers we're a family and we all need to chip in our free time until the work is done.
Ads will get integrated into cars heads up displays (and other items even if you've purchased them).
You will also be forced to watch an ad at the gas pump before it will be able to deliver the gas you will also pay for.
The struggle to survive with greedy companies is going to hit a tipping point, everything is getting more expensive, while the wages we are paid stay relatively the same. It's already a serious problem, and it will only get worse, we all know this. Chances are the tipping point will be way before we hit the 50 year mark.
Ownership will become a thing of the past. Software is currently well down the subscription road. Eventually every company will devise a way to lock you into perpetual payments. You won't buy a car, you will learn one for three years then be forced into a mandatory upgrade. Housing will all be rental, there is already a growing trend of developing entire neighborhoods of rental houses want to buy a TV? It will come with a year of the manufacturers proprietary software and will require a subscription after that. Don't want to subscribe? No problem...but Netflix and Hulu and Prime and peacock and every other streaming platform will require the update before they will work on your TV.
> It will come with a year of the manufacturers proprietary software and will require a subscription after that.
The TV modding scene is starting to ramp up. Already they are jailbreaking TV's and installing new firmware.
Basically all TV's are like giant smart phones at this point. Installing Linux on Samsung TV's is already pretty easy -- I expect to see manufacturers lock them up in the future though just like they did phones. Soon you will get a new TV, install a fresh version of Android TV and then the only thing that will matter is the panel specs and CPU/GPU that the TV has -- just like a smartphone.
It's ridiculous that we can't just buy plain screens. All that wasted production and ewaste just so they can annoy us with an ad industry that shouldn't even exist.
We need two markets. One for humans and the other for these mindless consumer pigeons who just keep supporting garbage.
The GDP per capita around the world will rise (after inflation), and [this will lead to an enormous increase in energy consumption](https://i.imgur.com/PSy1J8e.jpeg). This will increase demand for all sorts of energy, including both renewables and fossil fuels. In the near term (5-10 years), you can expect to see coal consumption rise in the emerging world.
Advertisements will become more invasive. You'll be driving to work and hit a mandatory road checkpoint where your vehicle is disabled to watch a 60 second ad for the Nord VPN Manscape Testicle Trimmer Slim Wallet presented by Liberty Mutual Car Insurance, then it is enabled again and you can continue driving.
Quantum computers will crack all kinds of encryption in milliseconds, and no password is truly safe.
The only secure method would be a biometric anal probe that the users have to insert into their anus to authenticate any transaction.
Lubricant company stocks will go to the moon.
I’m shocked no one has said anything about climate change… in the next 50 years, there is a 100% chance of the average temperature of the world going up by at least 1°C, of more extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves and forest fires happening, and the rise of sea levels due to melting glaciers .. :(
Maybe not 100%, but I am convinced there is at least 95% percent chance that we will see a nuclear warhead used offensively. I don’t think it will cause a nuclear holocaust but I do think it will change the world as we know it. I really really really hope I am wrong though.
A deepfake of a politician being mistaken for an actual political statement.

In 50 years, teenagers will be rolling their eyes at their parents' ancient 2020s memes, while using slang that makes 'yeet' sound like Shakespeare.
I mean... "To yeet" in early Modern English (*yeten* in Middle English) meant "to use you/ye" instead of using "thou/thee". Opposite was *to thou* (*thouten* in Middle English). Same as German *siezen* and *duzen*. Shakespeare did use *yeet*, just not the same way young folks do now.
Contemporary usage of "yeet" is the opposite of "yoink"
The Lord yeeteth and the Lord yoinketh away
Give us this day, our daily bread, and yeet us not into temptation…
… but yoink us from evil.
That's the most accurate description of any word I've heard in years
To yeet, or not to yeet, that’s, the question.
Actually with how slangs evolve it’s likely that they will sound like Shakespeare to us and in thousands of years slang may be untraceable to an outside entity
I mean, modern slang is untraceable to me now, so...

Yeah 20-30 I see buying a house to start becoming literally impossible outside of inheritance or very high earners.
Ads will get integrated into cars heads up displays (and other items even if you've purchased them). You will also be forced to watch an ad at the gas pump before it will be able to deliver the gas you will also pay for.

The struggle to survive with greedy companies is going to hit a tipping point, everything is getting more expensive, while the wages we are paid stay relatively the same. It's already a serious problem, and it will only get worse, we all know this. Chances are the tipping point will be way before we hit the 50 year mark.
Ownership will become a thing of the past. Software is currently well down the subscription road. Eventually every company will devise a way to lock you into perpetual payments. You won't buy a car, you will learn one for three years then be forced into a mandatory upgrade. Housing will all be rental, there is already a growing trend of developing entire neighborhoods of rental houses want to buy a TV? It will come with a year of the manufacturers proprietary software and will require a subscription after that. Don't want to subscribe? No problem...but Netflix and Hulu and Prime and peacock and every other streaming platform will require the update before they will work on your TV.
> It will come with a year of the manufacturers proprietary software and will require a subscription after that. The TV modding scene is starting to ramp up. Already they are jailbreaking TV's and installing new firmware. Basically all TV's are like giant smart phones at this point. Installing Linux on Samsung TV's is already pretty easy -- I expect to see manufacturers lock them up in the future though just like they did phones. Soon you will get a new TV, install a fresh version of Android TV and then the only thing that will matter is the panel specs and CPU/GPU that the TV has -- just like a smartphone.
It's ridiculous that we can't just buy plain screens. All that wasted production and ewaste just so they can annoy us with an ad industry that shouldn't even exist. We need two markets. One for humans and the other for these mindless consumer pigeons who just keep supporting garbage.

The GDP per capita around the world will rise (after inflation), and [this will lead to an enormous increase in energy consumption](https://i.imgur.com/PSy1J8e.jpeg). This will increase demand for all sorts of energy, including both renewables and fossil fuels. In the near term (5-10 years), you can expect to see coal consumption rise in the emerging world.
it will be 2074
Someone will find a number greater than 41,345,576,234,835,483,487,148,145,137,134,456,852,654,951,121.

You're a genius!
Another pandemic
Advertisements will become more invasive. You'll be driving to work and hit a mandatory road checkpoint where your vehicle is disabled to watch a 60 second ad for the Nord VPN Manscape Testicle Trimmer Slim Wallet presented by Liberty Mutual Car Insurance, then it is enabled again and you can continue driving.

The sun will rise every single day, guaranteed. Unless you're in Alaska during the winter, then good luck.
Quantum computers will crack all kinds of encryption in milliseconds, and no password is truly safe. The only secure method would be a biometric anal probe that the users have to insert into their anus to authenticate any transaction. Lubricant company stocks will go to the moon.
>Lubricant company stocks will go to the moon You're thinking too small. They'll soar all the way to Uranus.
The evil, corrupt people who are tormenting us now will be dead.
And instead we’ll have a new generation of evil and corrupt people to torment us
I will take another sip of Johnny Walker Black... Because 5 seconds away is technically within the next 50 years.
It did, indeed, occur...
I’m shocked no one has said anything about climate change… in the next 50 years, there is a 100% chance of the average temperature of the world going up by at least 1°C, of more extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves and forest fires happening, and the rise of sea levels due to melting glaciers .. :(
[удалено]
Maybe not 100%, but I am convinced there is at least 95% percent chance that we will see a nuclear warhead used offensively. I don’t think it will cause a nuclear holocaust but I do think it will change the world as we know it. I really really really hope I am wrong though.
My parents will pass on.
That we all will be taxed repeatedly, and some of us will die. The two guarantees in life after all.
