Didn't 2020 pop off with one of the worst Australian bushfires still ongoing, and then one of the worst wildfires in California/Oregon began? And then, you know... that little pandemic thing? How's the bird-flu thing been so far this year? Just wondering

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Some guy in California fed raw bird flu milk to his cats and killed 2 blinded a third, iirc.

So...on the way.

Currently cows are the main carrier of interest for one of the two strains of bird flu that are a concern in the US. The viral particles are being detected in their milk. Hence bird flu milk.

why dont they call it the cow flu then

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Because you can't just use up the easy to remember names like that. We've had bird flu, SARS, MERS, swine flu, COVID... We might need cow flu to name a different coronavirus in a few years

If you stay about 20' from a cow, the milker can't shoot milk in your face. The physics behind it are pretty clear, yes cow flu milk is airborne but with a splash mask and 20' distance, we'll have it all under control.

I think with the "Sierra Leone declares emergency over mpox outbreak" headline from today, we might tip in to a new record breaking year wikiwiki !

Week 3: Army on street, fasces and crosses are added to the US flag, after Trump gets inarguated.

Week 6: RFK Jr bans all vaccines and rejects conventional agricultural science. Protestors immediately get shot down.

Week 52: The US famine is starting thanks to 95% of US agricultural products become unfit for human consumption after RFK's decisions, all while a pandemic of SuperAIDS is also killing the population.

You forgot to add "the haunting echoes of tankies proclaiming democrats did this rolls through the rubble"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Oh I can't wait for the assholes to say "Look this thing happening under Trump is a sample of what would have happened in Kamela's America!"

Because you know they fucking did similar shit in 2020.

Oh, crap. We are only 2 weeks into the year, aren't we?

[–] Buddahriffic 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also only halfway through this decade. And I can't see any reason to believe the 30s will get any better.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Traditionally the 30s are when shit starts to get real

The 20s are just for the I'll gotten gains to be erased due to financial collapse

[–] Buddahriffic 6 points 3 days ago

Judging by history, I don't think the cycle is 100 years but more like 85 - 90 years.

Which would put us in the economic bad times right now, leading into a time of military conflict.

Looks like the difficulty modes of Cyberpunk 2077.

Amazing! This looks like it should actually be in the game!

Wake up, samurai, we got a country to burn.

Warning, Week 4 is when the black hole opens up.

[–] Agent641 12 points 3 days ago

After that, things start really going downhill

[–] gnomesaiyan 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm waiting for the asteroid. I'm sure there's one with our name on it.

Don't tempt me with a good time.

I've been praying for the black hole sun to come and wash away the rain for a few years now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Call my name through the cream then.

[–] errer 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Well good thing nothing bad is scheduled to happen week 3!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Oh I'm sure something is going down in week 6

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

But week 4 will start with a bang.

[–] Snapz 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Week three will be trump watery shitting over a bible during inauguration with kid rock singing while the cult members literally claw each other's skin off trying to get a finger on the bible to taste.

This is hilarious. AI doesn't have the latest news, it's convinced we're joking and reality can't be this bad...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The cyber truck incident over New Orleans? Interesting choice

[–] helpImTrappedOnline 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't read too much into it, the chosen events just both had fire.

Nice Lenin quote

But the first thing was nothing and hardly worth talking about

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Both are great pics to represent the state of the US political system right now.

[–] unphazed 2 points 3 days ago

Well after the election I did say I'd watch it all go down in flames...

[–] eatthecake 1 points 3 days ago

As far as I can tell the cybertruck guy killed himself as a pro trump awareness campaign and it's the best suicide bombing i've heard of in many years. Will never cease being funny.
