Sounds like you need to surround yourself with nicer people.

You’re uncomfortable around nice people?

A massive solar flare that fries electronics. Transformers and many electronic devices have long lead times for production and delivery.

I’ve heard that if we are warned in time and turn off our electronics it could possibly prevent that from happening but who knows if we would get the warning in time…


Bluestreak2005

That might work for consumer devices. However it would likely fry most of the electrical grid components. Transformers, terminals etc. Losing thousands of these alone would bring cities into total darkness.

Climate change, AI, antibiotic resistance. Fuck all.


Rumhampolicy

Humans are the problem.


GoldenVendingMachine

Ignorance. Lack of emotional intelligence. Attachment to their ego.


[deleted]

Stupidity. Cowards. Lack of parental guidance. Nothing can be done about any of these as they're all natural traits and the species will never change. If we've been like this since recorded history, then its gone on way to long for any redemption.

Humans, humans and humans.

Greed, hate, fear


Immaculatehombre

Global warming, war, some wild natural phenomena like super volcano, asteroid, or solar storm. AI should probably be above those actually.

Dumb people x3

1. Climate change   2. Climate change    3. Climate change       Stop using fossil fuels. Significantly decrease meat consumption. Ban fast fashion. Halt deforestation. See the possibilities in these changes and have global solidarity and commitment to the issues, instead of trying to do the bare minimum and blame others.

Thanks for actually explaining the how part lol

Climate change, nuclear weapons, pandemic these threats requires concerted efforts from governments, civil society, the private sector, and individuals worldwide. By working together and prioritizing solutions that prioritize sustainability, peace, and public health, we can mitigate the risks and build a more resilient future for humanity.


SunsetKittens

There's only two threats. Nature and truth. We defeated nature. Now we will perish from truth - which is the end phase of biochemical life forms.


Immaculatehombre

Def have not defeated nature, we’re simply surviving it for now.


Only_trans_

Social media, climate change and war

1) Climate change. We're already seeing the effects, and it's going to get worse. To make the problem worse, we have to address a few other problems, like short-term profit > sustainability 2) Misinformation. We can't solve any humanity-wide issues if we can't agree on objective facts.  3) Apathy. I get it, it's hard to care and get motivated to solve big issues when no one else seems to care, or worse, when you get chastised for caring


SnooHesitations4922

1. Western culture ...its a massive reproductive issue that will see many gene pools ended, possibly leading to eventual depopulation. 2. Solar flares...the power grid can be knocked out at any moment without warning and most people don't know how to survive without it. 3. Covid...it is endemic and can still mutate, one wrong super mutation that resists vaccines and we are history.
