There’s still time left in 2026
By this point everyone will be using Nuka Cola bottle caps as the main currency instead.
In 2027, a roll of toilet paper is worth 100 cheeseburgers. Be sure to use your lucre to buy a bidet.
...actually, I should stockpile some TP. Canada ain't gonna supply us anymore. Off to CostCo I go...
Why don’t people file a vote of no confidence against Trump and call early elections?
Because Americans are really that stupid and terrible. This is his second term.
Out on the patio we sit...
I remember the dim distant past where I read this as a screenshot of a post without the drawing. Also fields. All this.
bloody, watery diarrhea to be specific, or hemolytic uera syndrome.
How much for just the diarrhea
the AI bubble has popped
So, there's one positive thing, at least.
New bubble is gambling on bumfights.
Hey, we're leveraging the power of both the blockchain and AI to forecast winners and place permissionless wagers. You can't censor us! It's like you don't understand math.
"The remnants of our armies have finally caught Mr. Bezos and Elon, and they are here tonight to fight for their lives!...get ready to throw your shivs into the arena, elders and children! Our people died for this wonderful day to happen!"
...That is the GOOD ending to 2028. 🤨
That's Kalshi's slogan, right?
No wait, that's "gambling on fixed bumfights". My bad.
I'm sure it will be much much stupider.
rfk jr will reccomend roadkill, and wild game meat be introduced into circulation. Mostly raccoons meat.
Most commonly racoon penis
I just KNOW that RFK Jr hungers for Jimothy...poor little fellow would be RFK's white whale. 😥
RFK: "no no, this is the taste of Badger penis, not Raccoon. Trust me on this"
"Tapeworm builds character"
At least it solves the obesity problem, right?
better start getting all those pigs into the markets. raccoon has thier own fun parasites, like raccoon roundworm.
I don't know how it could get stupider than that, but I know you're right
Hold onto your hat, things are gonna get real fucking stupid
You left out there part where everyone has been enslaved by Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg to collect and deliver water to each of their strategic reserves. All "payment" for labor is made via rations of raw water.
where everyone
Everyone in america*
Oi, fixed it for ya mate
I hope you're right. I would love for their power to enslave to be geographically confined.
It's 2027, and the world has been renamed America.
But only in America. Outside America, we continue to pretend that we're somehow different, a comforting lie we tell ourselves. Like children who think a night light will keep away the monsters. But outside through shadow of the setting sun, they steal past the windows of the blissfully dead, looking for the victim shivering in bed. Creeping closer now, closer to the foot of the bed.

I keep thinking that the next Katrina or Andrew or Helene scale hurricane is going to just make whatever part of the US it hits uninhabitable. Its going to be bad enough that nobody rebuilds in that area, and we have our first refugees.
Something slightly off-topic that happened at work last week, an air conditoning unit stopped working. It was easily fixed but it broke down exactly like what was mentioned in Neal Stephenson's book "Termination Shock". Ants crawled into the contactor and kept it from closing all the way. We could really end up with Relay Refugees.

Literally what happened back during the original Katrina. A bunch of people from Louisiana picked up and moved to Houston permanently. Houston’s 2 million population grew by about 10 percent virtually overnight, straining all key city services such as schools, hospitals, emergency services and, particularly, public safety. This made a number of Houston Republicans extremely upset (Barbara Bush chief among them)
It has happened before. It will happen again.
Same thing but what Im talking about will be a larger scale. There are people still living in Loiusiana and New Orleans, although there are probably smaller towns that are empty.

It doesn't even have to be THAT bad. People living in floodplanes are largely uninsurable in more and more of the US, and because it's the US, there is no state-level fallback like more sensible places have. There is no real emergency aid anymore, since the conservatives have basically destroyed FEMA. There are no protective works anymore, because conservatives are stripping flood mitigation and resilient communities are now Woke and thus bad.
The US has never been less ready to deal with another big disaster, and the likelyhood of one is only increasing.
As someone who had to leave at 4 am when the water kept getting deeper in 2019, I agree.
How does it work in the US if an entire region is destroyed, surely you still own the land and have permission to live on it? So worst case just stick a caravan there and live in that, or any other form of temporary/semi temporary structure.
Unless all of society just abandons the entire area? Or are US house prices more sensible than they are here in the UK. Here the majority of the cost is land that you have permission to live on. The actual structure isn't worth that much in comparison.
I'm not American, but I do work in safety, and the massive system failure after Katrina and how it only got worse since then is a pretty popular topic in the literature.

The thing is, how? It's kinda like homesteading at that point, but worse. Having a place to live isn't about the square of dirt, it's about all the stuff around it. You need food, water, power and plumbing. If all that is gone, you can't really live there longterm. The kind of cascade failure is what makes the area worse than wilderness, because wilderness has at least some capacity to support people, where flattened suburbia doesn't.
Here the majority of the cost is land that you have permission to live on.
Right, but that land is valuable for reasons. Some of those reasons might include facilities, access to roads and trains, the very appealing property that it doesn't randomly flood, the community and other things.
And that's the problem. You bought the plot, and the house, for say 500k. The house the gone, and the plot is in Schrodinger's suburb, which is potentially valuable, but only if everyone rebuilds. And you already know they won't, because even if you can afford it, not everyone can. And you can't sell it, because who in their right mind would buy land that floods every few years?
I've always suspected the US is uniquely susceptible to the worse effects of climate change and a changing world.
Population too spread out to make public transport or cycling viable in the event of fuel shortages or distribution problems. Electricity also has to travel longer distances. Too reliant on AC, rather than passive insulation. A problem when fuel shortages and heat are combined.
And you're taking too long to go full in on renewables. For example, even ignoring the environmental benefits, solar panels are great at reducing power consumption when its hot/sunny. Hell, on a sunny day it's possible for a house to be giving back to the power grid, even with the AC on full.
Europe's also fucked, but at least the houses are well insulated, and solar adoption and AC use is skyrocketing. So when cities as far north as Paris hit 50C(122F) by 2050, as is possible assuming an unfortunately plausible 3.5C global warming, the number of deaths won't be catastrophic.
Of course, once agriculture's hit, shit's going to hit the fan globally. We'll get a taste of this in the coming year. Farmers have been suffering badly from climate change, high fuel prices, and high fertiliser prices also due to Hormuz.
A lot of the US seems to think nothing will change, ever. This is why you see them deploying 50 year old aircraft against a country tha has drones. This is why they keep trying to make bettee gasoline engines instead of making better batteries. Its everywhere.
There is currently a tropical storm out in the Atlantic Ocean that has been named Dolly how ironic would it be if it makes landfall in Florida and totally wipes it out.
They'll call it Dolly's Revenge
It'd be kinda funny if Dolly made the US go tits up.

And Donald Trump's approval rating will hit a brutal new low of just 75%.
Waiting for the big beautiful obituary
Oh, and don't forget. It didn't snow anywhere this year, and the coastal cities are beginning to flood. Not that it's something you have to worry about since you live inland, but it would sure be nice if it wasn't 127°F outside or if it'd just rain a little for the first time since maybe February.
Nothing new under the America
Mistery Burger! Now with a free horseshoe in every 7th package.
