Look at all these people with a (very) bright future.
(lemmy.world)
It looks like a lot of folks are due for quite the sunburn.
Anyone not wearing two million sunblock is going to have a real bad day
Thanks for this. My day isn't quite going how I wanted it to go and this really brightened up my day.
Brightened her day too 🤗
Just lit it right up in a flash, right?
It's okay, the apocalypse is going to be much slower and more painful.
And much more boring .... and half the population will fight us about it too. We'll all go down fighting and arguing with one another while our world burns and destroys us.
Humanity, has a long history of not realizing mistakes until long after it’s been done.
It all started with some douchebag fish thinking that dry sand looked comfortable
You see, what it was is that the sea was getting crowded and ancient fishbro just needed like five minutes of peace and fucking quiet...
So many guns and nukes and you expect people to silently go down boringly? When shit hits the fan, people are gonna try their hardest to take the food and livable land for themselves and fight each other to the last man
I keep having that debate with my wife who keeps stating that nuclear war is inevitable and that we're going to blow ourselves up.
Yes there is a chance of that happening .... but my biggest argument for it not happening is .... MONEY. If the world blows up, it will destroy the majority of the wealth of millionaires and billionaires who all rely on an interconnected web of communications and finances and a global market in order to justify their wealth. If the world falls apart, the majority of their wealth goes down with it. They don't care about who lives or who dies or even if millions will get killed ... but they do care about losing their money.
And to me, that is the biggest reason why we will most likely not see any nuclear war any time soon.
So if there is not going to be any nuclear armageddon, the only other thing that will happen is a slow gradual degradation of our civilization over the next hundred or two hundred years as we slowly cook to death ... while we argue with one another about it all.
Hundred to 200 years? You're one optimistic person.
We're hitting major climate tipping points within ten years and there's no brakes on this train. Things will go from "this sucks but it's bearable" to "global famine wars" in short order.
"not with a bang but with a whimper"
Definitely living the moment, cause it won't be more than that.
bright future as in people's cellphone screen brightness
Sarah Connor ...
I know it’s meant to be a joke, but it’s actually quite poignant. As appreciative as I am of certain aspects of technology, cell phones, and more specifically, mobile html browsers, have left generations socially inept.
Yeah, the boomers are a little bit right about that, as much as people don't like to admit.
A broken clock can be right twice a day.
They are also just as susceptible.
Do you not think the same was said of the radio, TV, etc.
Every generation seems to shit on the last for dumb shit man.
This was said about the invention of writing. People would read too much and not talk to each other. It's dumb. I'm talking right now!
