Yeah, not just Russians. Here's a bar graph since reading is a challenge for some people.

A few years of never going outside before the power infrastructure finally overloads and no more air conditioning.

I wish, but I just know the segregationist city planners in my town will just lay down more asphalt and gated suburbs. We don't even have sidewalks or crosswalks even though there's people walking/biking everywhere. They intentionally make our towns unlivable.

It'll probably be mostly rodents in 200 years.

Looks like humanity doesn't plan on surviving another century.

Good time to start investing in water futures.

Yeah, it's basically psychological assault, making you feel inadequate, taking up precious mental bandwidth, and feeding addictions.

Good to see African news. Something you'd never see on Reddit, where the "world" is just the USA, UK, EU, and their geopolitical enemies.

Same here. My wife and I only really drink water but her stepdad got bladder cancer after decades of drinking nothing but Budweiser and diet dew. He's cancer free now but lost his bladder and prostate.

 

Just the quiet, subtle beauty of the world seen through the eyes of 5 year-old me. The smells of my grandma's incense, fall leaf litter, moss, dry forest air. The sun's rays cutting through the branches and warming my closed eyelids. Feeling the ground beneath my lap actually feeling like a part of it all.

Didn't know how much things would change for me the following year when I would start the first year of the absolutely soul crushing experience that was schooling, changing me for the worse. It was also when I would be introduced to electronic games, and addiction that further seperated me from the world I've grown to despise.

I told my wife that was basically my goal in life, to regain some of those fleeting moments of beauty and meaning I found so long ago.

By the end of the century it'll be a full-blown agricultural collapse. It's easy to forget that our entire civilization is only possible because of a stable, temperate climate that allows us to grow enough food to sustain billions. Take that away and it goes right back to how it was pre ice age, with only a few million humans at most, living a pastoral nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Only this time there won't be a cornucopia of megafauna to hunt.
