A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.

"Uncharted territory as G6 geomagnetic storm likely to plunge Earth into full electrical darkness this Wednesday, scientists warn

NOAA and other agencies worldwide are warning about an impending geomagnetic storm, which has since been nicknamed as the New Carrington Event, in allusion to the historical event that took place in 1859. Observation data has shown an unprecedented skyrocketing of Planetary K indices in the latest 48 hours, with a tendency to reach a level higher than G5, currently the highest possible class for geomagnetic storms. Scientists are rushing to try and understand what caused the surge as well as possible mitigations before all scientific apparata go dark. While the storm is unlikely to cause any harms to life on Earth, the human world as we know it may be replaced by a new Stone Age. Electric systems worldwide have already faced surges since Sunday, with widespread fire across transmission lines. Entire data centers, including Cloudflare and Google, went dark and took swathes of the Internet down. Some specialists are optimistic that our current technology is resilient enough to survive the storm, despite the ongoing surges.

The one that we are all waiting for. He can’t have that much time left. Recreational sales will reach record numbers that day. Parties will be had. The next day will suck, but for that day—that night—we will fucking party hard.

Either the he's dead or that the market has crashed and we're entering recession. If the latter, people will have to realize the system doesn't work and will be forced to mobilize like France. They won't feel the comfort of "it's not me yet". It'll be hell on earth :)
