Guilty. Show me the almanac. I don’t trust nobody on the internet. Everybody speaks like they’re an expert.

That subscription allows you to ask the question to an AI that may or may not hallucinate.

Well, then… At least we will have apparently made enough progress by then to have eliminated the penny from circulation.

@sharkfucker420 We would have flying cars and spaceships in future

That’s a bit unfair. You can actually buy a flying car today. A few companies recently got their vehicle fully certified and are doing commercial sales. It’s not cheap. If you can’t afford a second Ferrari don’t bother.

The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.

https://www.pal-v.com/ is one for example. Certified for road and air. You need a pilot license and a driving license. And it needs a short runway to take off or land. €499,000 excluding tax.

Yeah it’s called a helicopter.

Most of the extremely wealthy use then to avoid traffic and occasionally die in them cause flying is more complicated than SciFi made it seem.

Look at the mansions and companies that all include landing pads. They aren’t just for die hard movies.

And the modern replacement for the helicopter is the eVTOL. That one is also often called a flying car, although they’re not street legal. As far as I know nobody died in an eVTOL yet.

Winter is on its way out due to climate change. In around the year 2100, it’s estimated that there will only be 3 seasons left, no winter. And summer will be much longer and much hotter. So the 3 seasons will be spring, then a 2-season long summer basically, then fall. That’s it.

But you can already see the disappearance of winter today because there’s much less snow and it’s much warmer than like 30 years ago. (Speaking for Germany)

Brace yourselves. [Winter isn’t coming] is coming. That’s the winter. The new winter. That’s the bad news.

Like in the tropics, dry season and rain season. Or drought and flooding season of we’re unlucky.

30 years ago we definitely had snow in winter. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But I remember playing in snow basically every winter as a kid. And I’m living in a very mild region of Germany. Now I’m considering all season tires (just for legal purposes) to not change wheels twice a year, since there is maybe some snow for one week in total.

Spoke with a guy this week who was born in the 30s. He said winter back then was much harder. Whole lakes or even rivers were frozen solid. I can’t imagine being able to walk to the other side of a major river…

I remember ice-skating every winter as a kid. Rivers were frozen over solid, too. Sometimes, there were two separate layers of ice on top of each other, each being several cm thick. It kind of went away in the late 90s. I guess everybody just thought the ice and snow would return someday. Now even snow has gotten really, really rare where I live.

I grew up in Ohio in the 1970s (which was admittedly a rough decade as far as cold weather was concerned). Generally, the first snowfall was some time in September and at some point in October the ground would be completely covered in snow and you wouldn’t see grass again until April. The snow wasn’t completely gone until May. So essentially it was six months of Winter, three months of Summer and a month and a half each for Spring and Fall. It is certainly not anything like that any more.
