In 10 years

  • Selling high strength magnets without regulation
  • Petroleum cars

In 100 years?

  • Eating meat
  • Natural gas stoves
  • Oil/Natural gas furnaces
  • Anonymous online communities
  • Not wearing a sort of body-camera in most professions

In 1000 years?

  • Religion, mysticism, paranormal beliefs
  • An inversion of religious moralism, I think things that are thought of as evil will have to become the norm, genetic modification, cloning, etc.
  • Eating food in general

This sounds like a solid +6°C plan if it takes 100 years

It's all a devious plan by the canadians so they can have warmer beaches

No way you're getting rid of any kind of mysticism, ever. You have people shooting at random towers blaming 5g and not vaccinating because of the dumbest reasons.

Humankind as a whole isn't intelligent enough to get rid of irrational stupidity and as long as you have that you'll have people believing in all those things you mentioned.

Why does religion get another 1000 years, but meat is gone in 100? 😩

Also: what's that about magnets? Why would we outlaw/regulate high powered magnets?

Sorry man I tell the future, can't control it 🤷‍♂️

Don't believe this propaganda, brother. This comment was clearly written by Big Jesus.

I'm not sure if OC would count this as meat or not, but lab grown meat is currently possible possible but not economically viable yet. Once that changes and cheap, ethical, eco friendly meat that's indistinguishable from conventional products is common, it will be much harder to justify conventional meat farming.

Baring that, plant based meat substitutes may gain a foothold, but we'll see.

As far as religion goes, that's actually a big unknown from my point of view. The "nones" have risen super fast, but a lot of churches have done a lot of aggressive things to try to slow that trend. I'm not sure if they'll eventually find something that works or if their efforts will further increase the secularization of the US. As far as the rest of the world, Europe in general makes me hopeful.

Magnets are very weird. Up until now, we don't really know what causes magnetism or how it works. We just know some rocks have it and others don't. Also, magents aren't super massively available in nature.

I'd hazzard a guess that guy refers to magnets the same way we SHOULD treat helium. It's a precious rare non renewable resource and we squander it like it's nothing.

We know now? Was ICP right? Is it miracles?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

......we can literally just manufacturer super powerful magnets. What the hell are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Also magnets don't fly out to space by themselves (at least not yet) 😁

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No you can't. At least not what they are talking about. Rare Earth Megnets have Rare in the name for a reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mate, you're talking out your ass. Neodynium is a rare metal, yes. But we're not going through neodymium deposits fishing out magnets like they're some sort of gemstone.

That shit gets mined, melted, alloyed with other minerals, smelted into shape then run through magnetic field generators to induce a magnetic charge in them, as just a very rough overall view of the process.

The biggest issue is that making them is INCREDIBLY material inefficient. Making one really good quality magnet requires an absolute fucking shit ton of processing, all of which reduces yield and increases waste product generation every step of the way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm super interested in your magnet theory. Why?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Rare earth magnets are remarkably powerful, a couple hundred bucks gets you magnets with enough magnetic potential to crush bones. Children who swallow magnets are hospitalized, magnets be spooky

I am staunchly opposed to regulating magnet sales but I think it's quite likely, especially in children's toys
