Nah, if we get that far, I’m going out BIG.

Yeah sounds like “single bearded alcoholic” is an apt username

Ew

Again, thinking someone/something needs to be super intelligent to take power is not good. They get power because stupid people thinking they’re intelligent will put them in power

This is naive. You think it needs to be intelligent to be used for evil? Have you watched ANY American politics?

And a bidet.

Don’t need to worry about toilet paper when you have bidet.

And the Yellowstone super volcano.

Oh… thanks…

That’s pretty much implied by WW3.

You already live in your bedroom at your parents, harder to get more cave like than that

Caves are overrated. Food is impossible to get without venturing out, electrical power can only be supplied from outside, water can be challenging (especially wastewater removal), the complete lack of light and prevalence of mold can be bad for your health. Even fresh air supply might be a concern in some cases.

Personally, I’m leaning toward a solar-powered sailboat as the perfect ‘ride out the apocalypse’ strategy.

• You can easily relocate to distance yourself from all kinds of threats, avoiding wars, disease outbreaks, etc.

• Water can easily be supplied via desalination ‘water makers’, powered by your solar panels. In the event that this goes wrong somehow, you can also resupply by sailing up into any navigable freshwater river, or build simple evaporation-based solar desalinators.

• Some of your diet can be provided by fishing. For the rest (and occasional repairs and replacement parts), you can barter at ports of call. No matter what’s happening in the world, there will still be people somewhere who are interested in moving passengers and cargo from one port to another. And if global trade is broken down, you may be able to bring valuable barter goods by transporting things that can’t be found locally.

• Waste disposal and sanitation is easy; just dump it overboard before sailing to a new location. (Preferably, you’d only dump biodegradable stuff, though, and only in the open ocean, where environmental effects of small dumping will be negligible. But if there’s no other choice and you really need to dump some plastic waste or something … well, the environment can take one more for the team.)

Just wait until we hit the ocean acidification tipping point where it becomes chemically impossible for certain tiny creatures at the base of the food chain to form calcium-based hard shells.

The whole ocean won’t hit that point all at the same time, but once we get close, it will happen very rapidly, affecting most of the oceans in the world within a few years. Entire ocean ecosystems will rapidly collapse when the bottom of the food chain falls out from under them. Already-strained fisheries will suddenly run completely out of fish, quickly driving the last few populations to extinction. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg for our problems. Those tiny organisms have a profound impact on the entire world’s climate and weather patterns, as well as being a huge part of the carbon cycle. When the oceans die, the effects felt on land will be extreme. And it will drastically accelerate carbon accumulation and climate change – those calcium-based hard shells are calcium carbonate, which incorporate carbon and often end up sequestering it on the sea floor when the creature dies, where it could stay locked away for millions to billions of years. Without them removing carbon from circulation, climate change will get far worse and accelerate much faster (which, in turn, makes ocean acidification worse, so there’s no going back once we hit that tipping point).

1. How many islands do you think there are in the mediterranean?
2. How many of those are uninhabited? (And why?)
3. Do you realise how close you are to bigger nations there? It’s not that isolated there.

And some say the end is near.
Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon.
Certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this\ stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit.
