lying in bed, can't sleep when the collapse comes I wonder which will come first and how long until it really turns to poo poo not enough food, so it becomes scarce or prohibitively expensive electricity grid collapse transport fuel supply chain collapse internet shutdown clean water supply collapse any of those will cascade into all the others very , very quickly - I'm thinking a matter of weeks at the most. Maybe the food or water situations will go a bit longer because that can still theoretically be harvested for a while from our surroundings I'm sure this is starting to happen in small areas - look at the floods in Libya wiping out maybe 20,000 or more people in a city of 100,000 - I can't see that being rebuilt any time soon. Then it will get to a point where whole nations need help from the rest of the world or they just wont functionally exist any more - it sounds like that's practically happening around the horn of Africa right now, I'm sure that's not the only place. Then it will become too much and the aid will stop. And the Imperial core will bunker up and (continue to) take resources they want without anything to stop them, until something in the biosphere is no longer sustainable for them either and...

starkebn posted:lying in bed, can't sleep My money's on not enough food. Either we see concurrent breadbasket failures or we have a The Road-like event that results in all the trees dying, like say a bunch of methane releasing at once from the permafrost or seafloor and compromising the ozone even further- the sun's rays will begin killing all varieties of photosynthetic plants, precipitating a collapse not just of the food production system but the food web itself. The other systems you mentioned will collapse piecemeal but there's capacity to rebuild regional infrastructure as it's compromised. Good thing we make all that stuff right here! ben shapino posted:sounds like you need a vacation to take your mind off things. there is a wide variety of carribean getaways at discounted price available for you at expedia.com Unironically this! I had a blast in Tahiti this spring but I booked it all myself. See the coral while you can.

Dokapon Findom posted:The thing that stuck with me most when watching Soylent Green (already knowing its secret) was the fact that Soylent Green itself is claimed as being made from plankton in the ocean; the whole movie revolves around the fact that the oceans are now too dead to harvest even this in any quantity, and we never find out whether it was initially plankton then switched, or was always made of people.

Dokapon Findom posted:The prospect of the oceans being dead means we can essentially wrap it up as we are living on borrowed time after that point Knowing the tweest made me focus on scrutinising everything else, and I did not realise NYC in 2022 was like that. You guys should try voting out the cops who bulldoze people into becoming crackers. But also, liked how it summed up the shitshow in the opening credits and kept that vibe. I was expecting Logan's Run, but with the food thing, not a general "welp, we hosed the planet good" to the point of rich people even having kinda lame lives. Scarabrae posted:oh ya right down to people just not giving a poo poo The Hyundai ad posted in the Doomsday Econ thread was more galling to me than seeing Charlton Heston realise lettuce was a thing that existed and between stealing soap and stepping over homeless masses in the stairwell.

Harik posted:the ridiculous heatwave ran my august electric bill up to $650 that is insane to me. do you live in the SW US? I have a 3 story house in Ohio and my electric bill is never over $100 and I haven’t seen that in recent memory. my August bill was $68. don’t ask about gas in the winter though…

Things are really very nice here. The summer just broke and it's cooler, but sunny. I saw three deer in a field doing deer zoomies or something as I was driving between clients today. The other night we watched from the bar as two foxes seemed to tango and frolic on a bank beside a stone wall in the twilight. Plus tons of wealthy people live here so we'll probably still get the benefits of what we've built while we're burning every last bit of oil and gas and then all the coal. This isn't a poem, I'm trying to zero in Tiamat. One sixteenth kobold on my dad's side.

Yeah, the nagging fear at the back of my mind is that infectious disease is going to be the real horror show of the next couple of decades, and that's honestly a lot more terrifying (to me anyway) than just about any other possibility. Of course, I have no idea how much is going to be due to climate change and how much is going to be a result of our collective decision to abandon public health as a concept because we're a society of babies.

I bet it won't even be something new, it'll just be the old staples like cholera and malaria that we won't be able to treat any more.
