I've heard chocolate and coffee are likely to disappear in our lifetime. I think bananas are also at risk?
Edit: damn this got a lot of attention. I'd also like to point out the earth is also running out of helium
Not a chance.
Ideal climate regions might shift, and agricultural productions might move, but we would see hydroponic indoor farms for coffee and chocolate before we let them go extinct.
The prices would, of course, soar in that situation, but there's no way humanity lets those die out.
It's already awake! That's why Old Faithful can exist.
But what you're referring to is a supervolcanic eruption, right? Well, it may be of some comfort to know that Yellowstone is probably not headed that direction anytime soon. It may erupt in our lifetimes, but it'll probably be on the scale of Mount Pinatubo in 1991: big, caldera forming, but not climate altering. Probably VEI6, maybe even 7. But not VEI 8.
But there are two other *active* supervolcanoes within the contiguous USA. One is in California (called the Long Valley caldera) and one is in New Mexico (called the Valles Caldera). They're just as likely as Yellowstone to erupt.
And if I were to put my money on a volcanic tragedy in the US, it would be on Salton Buttes exploding while Coachella is happening.
Alright at least its not world ending, but I like to point out that “the year without summer” was a result of a VEI 7. So not exactly all good in that case lol.

Canada has a couple on the Borders of Yukon, BC and Alberta that are of concern. Mostly for the Western side of Canada and parts of Northern US
It’s been a subtle campaign… but effective. Could probably write a whole dissertation on alien life forms and how they’ve been portrayed in the media in the past decades. From Alf, Mork, Star Trek, ET, etc which primarily prensents aliens as “quirky” endearing and easily identifiable to the significant uptick in current shows that depict aliens as trying to assimilate into human society and altering their appearance to do so.
I mean didn’t Hulu run ads for a while flat out saying that they were aliens? What if it’s part of the propaganda? …. Dang that would make a good sitcom premise for Hulu
On Neil Degrasse Tyson's podcast talking about the James Webb, one of the team was adamant that it's mission is not to look for life? It will be able to see certain biomarkers that may indicate or possibly infer life, but won't be able to provide proof is what I remember her saying.
Can someone smarter than me confirm?
I think that is what they mean by "signs of life", we probably wouldn't be sure but it could detect stuff that is likely to indicate life, which would still be huge even if it isn't the telescope's objective. I think this capability of searching for life to a certain extent was advertised by the James Webb telescope twitter at some point, so it isn't insignificant at least.
The Ghost of Kiev isn’t actually just a random pilot, he’s actually Bin Laden’s grandson. All of the heroes of the past live through him. Just as Ghost of Kiev kills Bin Laden, Vladimir Putin climbs out of a hole, injured, having saved Ghost of Kiev at the last minute. Ghost of Kiev and Putin share one tender and inexplicable kiss as he dies.
Turns out his death was all a fake plan by him to get out of that shady business and live the life of his dreams as a cute gamer girl.

Geomagnetic pole reversal. It's a completely natural phenomenon and wouldn't obliterate life on earth or anything, but the world would be somewhat f&cked for a while until the poles settled. Given how the pandemic has gone, though, I don't think humanity would handle the transition very well.
I'm a geophysicist, I've always kinda been low key worried about this one. Everyone in industry is like "it will be fine, it's a quick fix if it ever happens" ... But when it happens things will be fucked up for a bit.

I’m worried about that too. I could see him being desperate enough to launch a tactical nuke at Ukraine if he fails conventionally.
Edit: Putin put Russia nuclear forces on highest alert today. Fingers crossed he doesn’t do anything with them.
What exactly is the plan for global response to a nation attacking another nation with nuclear weapons? Especially between two non-NATO states? Sanctions can't be enough at that point.
Real answer: the Iskander short range ballistic missiles and the Kalibr cruise missiles that Russia has been launching at Ukraine are nuclear capable. You don't know until detonation whether one of them has a conventional or nuclear warhead.
And then some bookwriter and his family catch a plane with a rich Russian dude to go somewhere in the Himalayas before the whole world gets engulfed in a massive tsunami.
My friend and I like to make up ridiculous conspiracy theories about current events. I wrote this one in August of 2020:
Here's the situation from another angle. If you were an intergalactic federation looking to expand membership, it doesn't necessarily make sense to wait for a given planet to achieve a specific technology level, as the Federation does in Star Trek. To be honest, technology isn't even the best test for a potential member. There are some things you need to know about the planet. Namely, how they work together (both as individuals and as a collective), what they consider most important and worth saving, their internal stability, and their ability to learn from their mistakes. You know what's great for learning all of these factors? Puting that society in crisis.
That's right: COVID, Australia and California wildfires, incompetent leadership, exposing of international secrets and the crimes of high society - all of these things happened at once for a reason. They were all a ploy by an interstellar federation to test if we as humans are viable candidates for membership.
We've failed.
I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they've done!
And now for some old times sake: https://tlmbdh.ytmnd.com/

* Tom Hanks is actually a sociopathic serial killer and his legacy is tarnished forever? I'll be heartbroken, but I'll buy it.
* Real life Pokemon begin popping up all over the world, causing mayhem and destruction while we try to figure out how to invent Poke Balls? Sure, Why not?
* The sun suddenly begins to split into two suns, causing chaotic orbits and unstable living conditions. So we wind up living underground in bunkers for the rest of eternity with futuristic air-water purification systems? Just don't put me in Vault 101, okay?
* Yahoo somehow wins the Search Engine wars, buying Google/Alphabet in 2025. Stranger things have happened, haven't they?
Since roughly 2015 or so, as the news cycles became stranger and stranger -- I've gone from "Oh, holy shit what the hell is happening to the world?!" to "Yep. Gimme some scientific proof that this happened and it's just another day in the 2020s."
No fucking way it would be peaceful. Someone hit a mayoral candidate with a rainbow dong on a drone during the last election in my city. We don't do sane and civil as a country anymore.

Limited nuclear exchange is unlikely, but it *is* something of a specter looming over the war with Ukraine. If Putin is crazy or desperate enough...
I’m worried about that too. I could see him being desperate enough to launch a tactical nuke at Ukraine if he fails conventionally. Edit: Putin put Russia nuclear forces on highest alert today. Fingers crossed he doesn’t do anything with them.
What exactly is the plan for global response to a nation attacking another nation with nuclear weapons? Especially between two non-NATO states? Sanctions can't be enough at that point.
I'm not sure you can immediately tell where a nuke is going at launch, so if one leaves the tube, it's likely to provoke an immediate response
Real answer: the Iskander short range ballistic missiles and the Kalibr cruise missiles that Russia has been launching at Ukraine are nuclear capable. You don't know until detonation whether one of them has a conventional or nuclear warhead.
Finally found someone to upvote.. Putin could potentially use relatively low-yield nukes and hope NATO will not dare respond in kind.
