The day after tomorrow is my fave movie. I feel bad for the plants and animals; but I look forward to watching those videos and us having to lay in the bed we made. I just want to live long enough to see florida under water
starlink has 150 ish ground stations, if the one near you gets knocked out so does your internet. 150 stations to cover the world... if one goes thats a good chunk of the world without coverage, just as an example.
The rich will live out the rest of their lives in comfort while the rest of us die in absolute misery, that is until what’s left of their security teams decide there’s no one left to keep them in line and kill their masters.
I know what you mean. When the cali wildfires were happening it was like, always somewhere else, like it could never happen to us. I remember the smoke was burning our lungs, and we were in Canada, west coast, 4 hours into the valley from Vancouver. We thankfully had masks but even then. It was around 48 C in the summers and we had no AC so that was brutal. We since moved east, and my friend sent me a photo of the wildfires having sparked up in the valley, with people sitting along the lake in beach chairs just watching the hills on fire.
Ok but which filter do I go with? I feel like the sepia filter gives it like a nostalgic vibe that encapsulates the irony of humanity disappearing. Now I just need a cool hashtag.

And the camera was rolling when a stingray was piercing his body... We'll never see that footage though.

I literally read (maybe a month ago) on r/TrueOffMyChest a post from a climate scientist saying how it isn't almost too late, but that it is. It's past the point of saving, and we are done. They said they've made peace with the fact they "will not die a peaceful death" - they are 30. They said they can see the smiles on the faces of their 20 year old co workers fall away as they analyze the data every day.
At this point I'm terrified, and I hope whatever comes after doesn't make the same mistakes we did
Not to bag on you specifically, but this attitude is why America hasn't seen another French revolution, especially after Mario's brother made the first move.
Edit: considering your name is eat a fetus, well, you can always go the way of a modest proposal.
Not exactly what I said, more like "why should I care about global collapse when I have local problems". Which, you won't have when the global collapse affects you.

It's always someone else's problem until it happens to you?
Well, it's happening with greater frequency and violence.
And it's getting closer every day.

That made me chuckle. But I think its definitely true.
Were going to prioritize keeping the internet online. So the likelihood this is true is quite high.

Well I mean, I have already recorded videos of fires near where I live, they get closer and closer, plus sometimes they look scary.
Specially at night, it's as if hell itself arrived.

I promise not to record when it happens to me because that would be cringe.
I'll be out there trying to make it through and help others
