Future Timeline

An ordinary guy on YouTube decided he wanted to try a simple experiment where he makes a version of Minecraft that runs much better and can render the landscape a lot further out. Barely a year later, this project has become Cosmic Reach, a voxel game set in a world where, strangely enough, no huma...

7000 AD: Greenland is largely ice-free

The majority of this post is a rant about modern American politics instead of an overview of how various places around the world were different 100 years ago. The title honestly feels like clickbait

2045 - 2050: Human activity has added 1,000 Gigatons of Carbon to the atmosphere In 2022, the total amount of carbon added to the Earth's system by human activity since the year 1870 reached 703 Gigatons. At its current increase of around 11 Gt per year, one excess Teraton relative to 1870 will be ...

500,000 AD - Glacial periods become possible on Earth again I do hope this can be my one suggestion that eventually makes it to the timeline, as we are very, very likely to raise Earth's CO2 levels to above 450 ppm by 2050. According to the paper this graphic is from, if CO2 rises above 550 ppm, th...

This could easily change though, Powers, and may only be the result of the game's current incomplete state. Time will tell, as updates seem to be coming out at least once a month

4000 AD: Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has been naturally reabsorbed According to Wikipedia: "Sulfur hexafluoride is inert in the troposphere and stratosphere and is extremely long-lived, with an estimated atmospheric lifetime of 800 to 3,200 years." https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/com...

A bit more data on this prediction:

Biden's death: 2027, plus or minus one year

Trump's death: 2034, plus or minus two years

This may or may not be worthy of an entry, but it should be noted that the frequency of asteroid impacts similar in size to the Chelyabinsk meteor is about once every 80 years, meaning that it is possible another town or city will see a destructive fireball event by 2090 or 2100.

In my state (Florida), FPL seems to be advertising the use of solar panels more than ever. Also, Florida's intercity rail system, Brightline, is apparently the first passenger rail service in the world to use Starlink as its onboard wi-fi provider.

This has to be among the very funniest animal videos you can find on the internet.

Can I please just log out from all of this weirdness and nonsense? ...At this point, you probably should. There are real, physical people you can talk to about such subjects, and this will remain true for a very long time. Having near complete negativity about the future (I know for a fact that you...

There's no explanation given as to exactly what happens in this video, but the overall flow of the timeline matches up almost perfectly with how I view the world changing during this time frame: Not implausibly fast (i.e. Star Trek-like technology within 50 years), but not devolving into a neo-medie...
