[SERIOUS] What are your predictions for 2026?
What events do you think are likely to happen this calendar year? What percent odds would you put on such events happening?

There's a double Blue Ocean Event being predicted for September too.
Man that cilantro cure would be a godsend for sure
I guess the serious tag doesn't mean anything.
This is what I predict. Deal with it.
I’ll message you when my cilantro prediction proves correct
Columbia?
i feel like the dead internet theory is already on most of the social media platforms. more than half of reddit is AI/ and bot slop.
they just extend the insurance subsidized, both parties know they are going to lose seats over if they dint.
You’ll see more of me.
literally 1984
I'm also looking forward to this. The show made me ugly cry, several times.
RAM prices will continue to rise for at least the first half of the year, just going on the fact that I've read plenty of statements to that extent and no disagreement.
The Democrats will win control of the House in the US in the midterm elections. That'll set off a number of investigations which will have Trump and Trump cabinet members spending a lot of time in House hearings, and news about that will be a major news item for the next two years, as the parties angle for political advantage there.
xAI will not build an artificial general intelligence. Elon Musk will, following tradition, issue a new prediction as to how AGI is imminent and maybe one more year down the road.
The Trump administration will not invade Canada or Greenland. Trump will continue to suggest that he might whenever a topic comes up that he doesn't want news coverage of, the present undesirable topic being the expiring ACA subsidy and people's healthcare prices going up.
I think you just listed best-case scenario. I feel things will get far worse.
It's gonna get way worse to be in the US
A cure for Alzheimers is found. This one says it's possible in animals. This year, I predict one will be found in vitro for humans.
The EU will change from a Union to something else and kick out HungaryOrban and his party will lose in the upcoming Hungarian elections.The Dutch government will fall again.
Germany will not ban their Nazi, Russian spy party.
A Nordic country will decide to get rid of their "kronen" and introduce it in 2027/2028.
Malta will be rocked by another pedophile scandal.
All the Epstein files will be released and Trump will be impeached as a result. (Lots of other politicians will be implicated but nothing will happen to them).
The UK will lose another royal.
China will invade Taiwan. Japan will go to war with them.
Linux will hit 8% marketshare.
it always says treatable in mammalian animals, then we never hear it again.
Sweden and Finland joined NATO after decades of not being in it. I wouldn't put it past them to join the Eurozone to be able to get rid of Mastercard and VISA and join WERO.
Danes however with the whole Greenland thing...
Our fire season is typically during
the wintercool autumn, and earlyspringovercast season. At least in SoCalPlease let another CEO get murked 🙏 I would be so happy
So many to choose from too
too bad its not the ones that are doing the most damage right now.
I'm not picky
My predictions aren't good. The Untied States will attack Greenland and start a war. Canada will join the war. Or the Untied States will implode and have a revolution/civil war. I have to hope for the latter so that Canada will be safe.
And also, there will be no midterms elections, at least not free and fair ones
i suspect the US will move onto the other South america countries to continue the distractions, brazil is probably in the works, but not publically announced.
I might get my wife pregnant if we decide to start trying for it this year. Maybe a good 75-80%? Our blood tests are coming out fine, so God willing we will be blessed if we let nature run its course. 👍
Life is truly so unfair when it comes to kids. Like you seem to have thought all this out, and even have blood tests to monitor shit. Then there are people like me who was crossing my fingers praying that I wasn't the tiny percentage that would end up with a pregnancy after even using a condom and/or using other birth control measures. I applaud your efforts, I hope you find everything you wish for when it comes to having children. 17-25 I just remember being worried all the time.
Thanks, friend, your words are very kind and touching. My mom had a lot of complications having me, I know shit can get rough whether you want them or not, hopefully it's easier for us. May life also bring you what you wish for! ❤️
Just keep in mind that you're planning on bringing a child into a world where 90% of the planets arable land will be depleted by 2050, global fresh water demand will exceed supply by 40% by 2030 and 7 of 9 planetary boundaries have now been breached, so within the next 25 years billions of people will die in massive droughts and famines, and the oceans will be so acidic that the phytoplankton that produce 50 to 80% of the worlds oxygen won't survive.
Oh and there's a chance for a double Blue Ocean Event this year too.
GTA VI will be delayed again.
I’m gonna end up as canon fodder when the fascists comes for Greenland. I’m quite good at handling rifles and pistols as I’m a active member of the local shooting range but do to a serious accident I can’t run any more.
GPUs will get more expensive as the VRAM will be diverted to much more profitable datacenter GPUs during the RAM shortage.
I set a resolution to go to the gym 100 times this year, and I predict there is no way in hell I'm hitting that.
Hold yourself accountable, that's only twice a week. Don't have expectations, go to the gym and do 10 squats and go home. Hell, go to the gym parking lot and get taco bell on the way back and count it as a win. Give yourself breaks and make it easy for you to succeed.
Every step even if it seems small and inconsequential gets you closer to your real goal. You don't have to be perfect, every step closer is progress.
AI bubble will pop when the datacenters that are financed to be completed in the first quarter fail to meet their deadlines, and continue to fail to meet them mid-year. Banks will pull loans, and rapidly, the dominoes will fall. I doubt OpenAI will survive 2026 (fingers crossed), Nvidia may, since theyre actually shipping products and making sales off the bubble - they'll take a big hit, as will Microsoft, Google, Facebook. It will cause a worldwide recession if not a financial crisis. 75% chance by EOY.
Trump will die. His health has circled the drain for years, and there's only so many medical interventions that can be applied. 50% chance.
I'll finally wash my car (been putting it off all 2025), 95% chance.
You are an optimist!
I know, tbh it's only 50-50 I wash my car - but hey, new year let's be optimistic.
Wishing you a good one.
Shit'll get even worse.
that the DNC/DEMS wont see the significant return for midterm elections than they thought: trying to deny ZOHRAN his election, rolling over to the GOP demands of the shutdown, SHILLING FOR AIPAC, and doing nothing to reign in the billionaires thats been feeding them. i see DNC early on supporting NEWSOM because he will keep the current status quo as is in order to prevent any other DEM thats to the "left" of him from winning, and likely will collude with the gop, billionaire donors to insure its propagandized against a newcomer.
plus continued ignorance of the epstein files, that the even the DNC is trying to avoid airing too much about.
the AI bubble bursitng is probably the least of the worries right now, but it does exacerbate the compounded problems.
just as we predicted the gop/dnc had agree to extend the ACA subsidies, because they under threat of losing thier seats this midterms, and likely the next election, hence why its 3 years and not just this year. Otherwise if both parties feel like thier seats arnt threatened they more than likely wouldve not "amend the subsidies"
what is likely to happen with LUIGIs trial?
entertainmaint: SG new series might be more problematic than the old ones, due to it being only 10 episodes(less episodes means less time to develop stories, and plots) and not give disclosure on previous cliffhangers(atlantis on earth, destiny sitll lost), its probably cringe if they decide to reimagine the series of sg1, like with BSG. also with the current climate of things that has affected other shows, like nutrek. and ROP being a massive money sink, that has likely sucked the budget from other shows making them cheaply produced.
also DEGREE to jobs piplines continues to degrade, and it might turn more people towards the RIGHT, predicting more election losses for DNC in the future, as angry frustrated college graduates of ten will gravitate to right wing sources for making themselves feel better.
Dems are not perfect and if they fail in midterms US is definitely toast. I hope voters realize this.
US starts floating the idea of invading Canada for fresh water*
Trump says something rambly about the important development of AI requiring it
americans cheer it on because "we needed the water and now we have it, what's bad about that?"
*specifically this reason, nvm the threats of invasion that have already happened
Doom! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Idk I've got like 30% on the potus croaking of natural causes.
Bird flu pandemic
None. The world is going to end in nuclear war is my best bet.
