It will be the hottest year on record
well now I'll be expecting it
checkmate global warming
No, don't expect it, if will just keep getting hotter!
The Good Place pretty much describes the only afterlife I think humanity would get. Just mismanaged and pointless pain
He was so good in that role
...hotter than that.
Let's see.
- We'll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that's what they'll call it.
- We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
- The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
- The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
- The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
- There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
- The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
- Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
- The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
- The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
- There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
- Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform
Seems pretty realistic to me.
We'll still be reading articles about Trump's "legal blows" despite ongoing and consistently successful delay tactics.
I'm not sure he has that much time left. That man is old, and doesn't seem to have a healthy lifestyle, or any real friends. My friends, my real ones, tell me when I'm overdoing things, or falling into unhealthy habits.
That fucking cockroach will probably break a hundred. Evil people have an infuriating tendency to live for an eternity.
The good die young.
Come on, KFC. You've got one job.
"this time he's done, he's on his 8th gag order, this tiem for realz"
It will be hot. Not just warm, but brutal. People dying in the streets of Detroit kind of brutal.
Oh, and those fucking lead pipes will still be buried in Flint and a hundred other American cities because no one gives a damn about the poor or their children.
The US economy will be much worse than it is already, the country will be at war and the government will be cracking down on civil unrest.
Parts of the country are going to be on fire.
Shrinkflation gets so bad we reach the futuristic meal in a pill size, without the meal
I believe both the democratic and republican parties will be in the midst of a crisis of transition of leadership.
Six more years could easily take out the big power brokers of both parties, and I see this leading to a large amount of infighting amongst both parties for platform control.
For the Dems it'll be between the establishment chosen successors and the progressive ascendants, it's going to be a fight instead of a wash out because even convincing progressives to turn out for their own is like pulling teeth.
For the Republicans it will be infighting sects of the cult of Trump. In a peak of Irony, I see faults forming in a manner similar to the Sunni Shi'a split, where the disagreements are mostly about who the true successor is.
I'll be 29 years old.
No way you have the tools to make that estimate! Admit your lies 😄
Alright, you got me, I'll be 30.
Yandere Simulator will still not be finished.
Year 2030 will not start before year 2029 has ended.
I think it's not til year 2048 that we get the actual Y2K bug at which point I'm a bit less sure.
2038, it's known as the 2038 problem, essentially 32bits computers will run out of bits for counting seconds. This has been fixed on any modern system.
It's not 32 bit computers, but computers with a 32 bit BIOS clock. There is fortunately a difference.
oh i was just making a stupid joke about 2KB.
I didn't realise there was an actual other y2k problem.
How did they get to a 32 bit problem within only 2038 years?
Oh is it like 32 bit counter of seconds or some dumb shit like that.
Stupid shortcut data structures.
That said I'd better check the RTC module in my arduino alarm clock.
It's a clock module though so i assume it was designed by someone who gives time enough respect to store the data properly.
Completely missed the joke about 2k being 2048, hahahaha
Here's the wiki page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem
Essentially what happens is that computers measure dates as the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970 (known as Epoch). 32 bits can only count seconds up to Jan 19 2038, after that it will cause an overflow and reset to zero. Most modern systems use 64 bits for dates even if the processor is 32. Same reason why 32 bit computers shouldn't use more than 4GB of RAM (they can't address it properly)
If I'm alive I'll have tacos more often than any other single dish throughout the year.
It will happen in just under six years.
That organisms will die, that stars will be born, and that the farttardiest questions will be unthought out, badly phrased, and posted on asklemmy'); DROP TABLE THOUGHTCRIMINALS; —
World War III will be in full swing
I honestly don’t believe this will happen, I think most countries that hate each other (US/China) know that they rely on each other. It will just be a Cold War fought through shitty proxies ruining countless lives imho
I'll be a little bit older. Other than that, and assuming that no wars break out, I have high hopes for the future! 🕊️
Hindsight is ~~2020~~ 2030
