When things are so totally bent out of shape and falling apart, that it's evident it's not a couple of wild summers or winters that led to bizarre effects like crop loss or mass migration from firestorms. during system collapses, people just keep going to work until something happens to them and I mean like first someone is gonna complain about prices then maybe they can't get certain goods then they lost their job then they are starving But the guy over there still with his job? He doesn't care about you and won't freak out

Thankfully history will end in a couple of decades so it doesn't matter how many treats I consume in the meantime! Ah, but when I consume the treats; I'm doing it in stern resignation of the folly of man and the hopelessness of the future, not in blissful indulgence. That's better somehow.

Third World Reagan posted:during system collapses, people just keep going to work until something happens to them imho you can argue that the system started crashing around 9/11, but the full unequivocal heart-attack was the 08/09 financial collapse, and even if you think that might not have been fatal in and of itself then the follow up punch of covid 100% for sure was. we are in the collapse now. somewhere between one and two decades in. obviously, like everything else, its not evenly distributed, and in fact its usually very un-evenly distributed in perfect inverse correlation to what would be fair. meaning like, sure for us it shows as a whole generation crying about not being able to afford their own mcmansion. but if you look at a globe at the area between 5 and 15 degrees north latitude, for people in guatamala, el salvador, and venezuela its a deadly economic collapse and refugee generator already. keep spinning and you get to africa. coups in guinea 21, mali 20/21, burkina faso, 22, niger 21/23, sudan 21. ethiopia - tigray war 20-22 (a third to a half million dead). srilanka more or less collapsed in 22. the scouring of humanity from the central latitudes has begun. you still have to go to work tomorrow.

Just desperate people doing more and more dangerous stuff, in worse and worse conditions, for less and less money.

Apparently some anthrax got loose from permafrost and infected some reindeer herders Also every virus they experimentally melted from the ice was viable, 100% success rate. Seems fine.

I miiight be the closest to Antarctica out of everybody on this thread (live at the bottom of New Zealand) and in the winter that Antarctic chill is a bit much, but at least with global warming i shouldn't have to worry about wearing a scarf and four layers. So that will be nice.

They ended up being OK but it was a few thousand year old strain of anthrax that was confirmed to not be modern? Guess the theory is that one of the herd accidentally uncovered some thawing infected animal or plant or something. The viruses they have been cataloging for that particular experiment are specifically bacteriophages and some were in like 50000 year old samples iirc, I don't have it in front of me anymore but it was way older. On the upside some of the seeds in these samples are still able to germinate and they're mostly like small ground cover type plants.

there's a virus that infects some potatoes and weakens them. However in drought conditions this infection is actually is beneficial and prevents the plant from losing water, so the wild type has some selection pressure to not develop complete immunity. This doesn't work correctly in all domesticated varieties anymore and instead they turn black and die if infected. Basically the entire concept of how viruses interact with other parts of the ecosystem is a lot more complicated than getting a terminal case of fail aids. Also they did an experiment on the international space station and astronauts have dramatically more active recurrences of herpes outbreaks and other viruses that have long term infections with latent periods. Nobody can figure out why. The dome system can't easily work, you couldn't even do a lovely space ark because we have essentially no grasp of how anything works and can't evacuate enough material to the cryogenic moon base or whatever stupid plan
