Oblivion. The one prediction I’m confident will happen.
Dude that came out like 15 years ago
You… I’ve seen you… you are the one from my dreams
Then the stars were right. This is the day.
ES sucks.
To see my enemies crushed. To see them driven before me. And to see more hybrid and electric vehicles on the road.
We also would have accepted the lamentations of their women.
I want to see less vehicles on roads.
More walkability / bikability and public transit would be great!
Out where I live that would be a LOT of walking.
Bring on the lamentations of the fossil fuel executives
Well, you could always close your eyes
Genghis, we’ve talked about this before: you can’t snap arrows and push EV’s at the same time – there needs to be a transition period.
At this point, every day above ground is a good day.
Yeah but someone’s gotta mine that coal
An exponential increase in power density of batteries.
I just want reliable long-term storage. Even if it’s a trickle of power coming out, I want it to be reliable and large, so that I can just throw energy at it when I don’t need it and can rely on it when I do.
Fair. I was thinking if a loaf of bread sized battery could run my car for 100 miles, I would have zero range anxiety. Make them easily swappable so people no longer charge their battery on road trips, they just drive up to a station, swap, and continue on their way. Maybe with an extra loaf or two in the trunk if going far from stations.
Storage size and longevity aren’t as important to me once it becomes dense enough I can carry all I need for a day in my purse.
This was literally in the post under this one: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lithium-metal-battery-with-over-500-Wh-kg-developed.862073.0.html
a easy and stress free retirement
For my life to have worth.
About three fiddy.

I don’t know you or your situation, stranger, but it can happen as soon as you’re ready.
I’m ready but I’ve also been waiting.
life’s what you make it
That’s a part of what I mean. Why make it one thing as opposed to another thing? Not everyone is blessed to not have indecision.
Samesies
The American Government dying
Do you have a license for that edge?
Maybe start with the death of the two-party system?
in sha’ allah
The Star Trek timeline, I just want a holodeck, but they just keep hawking this VR/AR crap :(
It’s gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can’t do in one that it’s not even worth it?
Imagine playing GTA, but:
- you can’t hijack a train full of people
- buildings don’t take any damage when you fly helicopters into them
- people’s limbs don’t detach when you sever them
- you can’t make idle small talk with random NPCs without it escalating into violence
Would that be a GTA you would actually play?
If you knew what came next in the ST timeline, you would not wish for it
One must walk before they can run. Probably. I dunno the future.
I hope I have a heart attack in my late 40s or early 50s so I don’t have to experience much of the future.
Finally winning the lottery!!
Just remember: 99% of gamblers quit just before they win big!

The US Government will remove their heads from their asses and work on fixing things before it’s too late.
Ideally by regulating the shit out of corporations, and dismantling fraudulent 501©(3)s like the Heritage Foundation.
Just having better options for the next presidential election would be a step in the right direction.
Hopefully more states start to heavily push the Alternative or Ranked Choice voting systems.
There are entrenched entities heavily invested, literally and figuratively, in aligning the government with their interests, and against the interests of the majority. Their primary methods are propagandizing the gullible to vote for the representatives they have invested in, and fomenting apathy in those they cannot propagandize.
The solution is two-fold: supporting candidates aligned with your interests throughout their career from local elections up to more powerful ones, and voting in every election for the front-runner who is less detrimental to those interests.
If you think the current government has their heads in their asses, it’s a good bet that this two-fold solution takes the form of voting for progressives in local elections and greater primaries, and showing up to vote for whichever of the front-runner candidates is comparatively more progressive.
Voting for a candidate that is progressive but vastly unlikely to win is counterproductive. Not voting because none of the likely candidates is sufficiently progressive is counterproductive.
If everyone understood this, and showed up to vote, within a few election cycles we’d have a government composed of un-assed heads.
Human extinction. Thankfully, climate change exists, and will very likely be the end of us if we don’t blow ourselves up sooner.
Okay, you first /s
Human’s have done some impressive things. We’re unravelling the mysteries of the universe and building some amazing tech. Yes, a powerful few of us have done some horrific things, to ourselves and to the creatures we share our home with, but I don’t think it was all for nothing if that’s what you’re getting at.
the ability to scan one’s brain to unlock all the memories that i hope are still stored in there, uses would be things like knowing exactly how many times you’ve sneezed, how many sandwinches you’ve eaten, how many total minutes spent hiccuping, and you take the information and compare your stats with friends
Or hide the parts we want to forget and breathe normally for a few days.
Here’s the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you’d essentially be the same person.
Your memories don’t encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).
If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions
That would be horrible. Law entforcement would have a field day (not with the fart statistics tho). Our brain is the last frontier of privacy.
