I don't know how to react to all the things likely to turn the next few decades into a shitshow, but I do know that the r/collapse subreddit is a good example of how NOT to be about it

I don't know if any of you have been on there before, but finding them during the last debt ceiling fight was a trip, like they thought global economic collapse was a month away and downvoted anyone saying it'd be fixed

Anyone going all in on their predictions would have spikes they glued to their car Mad Max style and have gone deep inside a silo, before emerging months later to do a supply raid: "Wait, the global economic collapse didn't happen last month? poo poo."

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Just googling "ancient graffiti" is also sometimes cool like this and provides hours of entertainment, it's not all dicks like the Pompeii one a lot of people just wrote their work drama on a wall like they were posting in a local FB group

im gonna try not to lie down and rot because that would just release all my forever chemicals into the ocean and kill a bunch of cute fish that never tried to hurt anybody for financial gain while the rest of us can't do anything about it because they're in total control of the mechanisms of our governments

in warhammer 40k when people lie down they get thrown into mulcher machines before they can rot and turned into a food source called Corpse Starch, or if they are lucky some algae and maybe some bugs or fungus gets thrown in with them and they're made into Soylens Viridians instead which is a fancier version of Corpse Starch.

Op, I agree with your righteous sentiment.

The replies to the OP suck and prove his self-evident point, these "ironic" unfunny takes are proof that GBS's posters can't create fun and joy.

To you who's reading this right now with a snarky reply; keep going the way you are, poo poo on everything, don't change, enjoy that depression state you're invariably sinking and dragging others into.

I'm shocked at how SA posters became so unfunny on average. Everyone above should be ashamed at what they're sharing and creating, especially the posters that will invariably quote posts like mine to gatekeep these attitudes that are the equivalent of mental excrement.

where are all of these doomer posts infesting GBS, anyway? i've seen it a bit when poking around the politics forums, but not much of it here. there are a couple of threads for loling at how loving dumb the state of the world is, but it rarely gets to the point of wallowing in misery

the whole premise of this thread reminds me of the poster in the reddit thread a week or so ago who kramered in with complaints about how every post in their reddit feed was about femboys, just wall to wall femboy memes everywhere they looked

Like what's the actual goddamn point of commiserating with people over poo poo when you're admitting there's nothing productive to be done about it? So what if poo poo's awful? poo poo's always been awful! I loving despair constantly over the plight of queer people in the world, and living paycheck to paycheck, and how misogyny is mankind's greatest failure, but I still know it ain't worth it to adopt the incel rear end "lie down and rot" mentality over the environment or capitalism. I take pride and joy in trying to be a good and helpful person to nice people despite all that poo poo. And so what if the loving world rots to nothing? We'll probably be survived by a thousand species of cockroaches who can evolve over the next billion years into a race of sentient badass space bugs whose mating habits would make the most depraved monsterfuckers blush. If you wanna be sad all the time, you can go become an ascetic for all I care, that would be a much better way of detaching yourself from the destruction of the planet than whining about it on a 10 dollar dead end of the internet.

The world is not dying, unless during civilizational collapse due to climate change we all nuke each other. Which unfortunately is very possible.

Without that though, humanity will survive, but people will die. Just how many people will die depends on how badly the earth warms up and if it happens faster than he can come up with ways to adapt to the effects of the hotter climate.

Ignoring or denying the problem is really stupid, but all these people going “Oh nooo, the earth is dying (it’s not) there’s no point to anything, don’t have children, we’re all doomed” aren’t accomplishing anything other than to make people miserable and anxious. Especially young people (15-25), who are miserable and anxious enough already.
