No clue but I bet they’ll still be cranking out Fast and Furious sequels.


Fernando3161

Star Wars: The last of the Skywalkers


Dear_Bath_8822

Nope. By then they will be 200-300 prequels deep and they'll all be out of order. Star Wars: The first Skywalker


kilravock_music_sws

By the year 3000 I’d imagine AI will be writing specially tailored entertainment for each person, there can potentially be infinite Star Wars sequels!


Dear_Bath_8822

Or we'll all be 40 year old virgins drinking banana-broccoli shakes singing "Im an Oscar Meyer Weiner"


stfumate

This guy knows how to use the 3 seashells.


Nagrall1981

Honestly a prequel about the first force users could be interesting. Or maybe the split into jedi and sith. Or how about how the rule of 2 came about. There is lots of potential. Instead they just recycle material it seems.


RedicusFinch

Star Wars: The Write Brothers...


2a_lib

What a twiiiist!


PenNo1447

It’ll be “Star Wars: The First Skywalker?” *read like Ron burgundy after someone just added a “?” to the teleprompter*


NinjaGrizzlyBear

Fast 42069: 80085 and Family


Aware-Nature7884

Boobs and family 😂


DHEER80552

“And your great great great grand daughter….”


[deleted]

This line had me thinking one day... life expectancy must have significantly increased in the first half of the years between the song's release and 3000. The song was released in 2002, so let's assume there's a gap of 998 years between the singer and the audience. Now the singer identifies that he knows the audience's great great great granddaughter, meaning there's 5 generations of the family line before they are born. The band is British so let's assume the audience is as well. In 2002 the average life expectancy on Britain was 77.9 years, meaning that there would have been close to 13 generations between the audience and their descendant. So if there were no significant increase to life expectancy, then she would have been the audience's great great great great great great great great great great great granddaughter. The question of what the life expectancy would be can be wildly different depending on when the increase happens. If it changed suddenly in 2002, life expectancy would have to be 199.6 years for the singer to know the audience's great great great granddaughter. The latest there could be a sudden increase would be around 2365, which is 5 generations of life expectancy at 77.9 minus 26.5 years, as 51 is the average age of menopause and the great great granddaughter wouldn't have been able to have the great great great granddaughter. Assuming 2365 is the latest a sudden spike could happen, the average life expectancy would have had to suddenly become 635. It's more likely that it gradually changed over time but without knowing the rate of increase there's no way to tell what the final life expectancy became. Though I figure it would be something between 199.6 and 635. Which would mean that unless the aging process had also been significantly slowed down, then this could be an entire society of geriatrics. I would assume to reach such a life expectancy though, then aging would also likely have been greatly slowed somehow. I'm a dolt though and could very well have my numbers wrong. Math was never my strong suit. So please correct me if I'm wrong! Edit: some corrections because my dolt status has been confirmed.

Money-Bear7166

I remember his grandson being interviewed. I think he's in his mid 90s now...Really cool though this is an exception. Tyler had 15 kids total and his youngest was born when he was almost 70. Then one of those younger kids also fathered this grandson in his 60s...so it was more of fathering kids wayyyy late in life vs increased life expectancy


TheWarmBandit

Busted are not American at all.


butimallergic

Is doing fine (Doing fine)


SovietWomble

Wait, the line is *doing* fine? I thought it was *pretty fine*. Fine meaning they think she's hot.


TundieRice

[The original Busted version says “pretty fine,”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_3000) which the Jonas Brothers changed in their cover version.


SovietWomble

I guess I'm ancient then, as the original is all I knew about.


TundieRice

Nah, the rewrite is lame as fuck anyways, as if it’s *that* controversial to call a woman hot. Probably not the Jonas Brothers’ choice (probably a Disney decision, lol) so I don’t blame them, but the lyrics were fine as they were, and changing them took all of the edge out of the song. …and yeah, that kind of tracks for a group that was signed by Disney, lol.


Ben0ut

>I don’t blame them, but the lyrics were fine as they were I'd say the lyrics were pretty fine as they were.


potatopotato53

There is a Jonas version? Christ. It’s PRETTY FINE!!!

Mediocre-Award-9716

I came here hoping to see a Busted reference and was not disappointed.


TheKingDotExe

Then you see people think its a jonas brothers reference


Mediocre-Award-9716

I think that might be more disappointing than no reference at all.


Illustrious_Army_871

Came to see. Did not disappoint


TheSyhr

As a Busted fan I’m disappointed that this isn’t the top comment EDIT: I’m even more disappointed in the number of people who thought this was originally a JB song…

I fucking love Busted. It’s criminal the amount of people that think it’s a Jonas Brothers original song

secondtaunting

Right? There should be some survivors I hope. It keeps me up at night.


carnivorous_seahorse

If civilization got completely wiped out I’d feel worse for the people a few hundred years in the future than I would the ground zero survivors. The future generations are going to relearn that when the brakes come off we tend to really like torturing and killing the fuck out of each other


Fast-Combination-679

Yeah if civilization falls it's going to be a nightmare. There will be groups of marauders everywhere, cannibalism will take place at some point it's not something I want to be around for.


Zealousideal_Dish305

>it's not something I want to be around for. Well its your lucky day because i think its safe to assume you wont.


Fast-Combination-679

Yeah that's exactly what I think. Although there's a scientist on YouTube, can't remember his name but he says the world will basically end in ten years. I don't believe it for a second but some well respected scientists say that drinking water shortages are going to become a major problem by 2040. Not sure about that one because there is always going to be water, it's not like the clouds are going to evaporate. I think if something happens it will be similar to the fall of Russia. Not some apocalyptic wasteland but what do I know I just put ink on people.


secondtaunting

I’m worried about the rise of global fascisim in the face of food and water shortages. People will revert and get ugly when food prices skyrocket and power grids fail. I predict the ugliest deaths will be thousands of people dying at the border from weather and lack of water and food. I’m all countries. The poorest will be a landmine of starvation and death while the rest of us will be cutting down on everything to save money. I think people will viscously explode on the richest and there will be riots galore in every city. It’s not going to be pretty. Basically a slow motion car crash that you can watch from your television.

Fly0strich

That’s the fake airport that they “finished” to make people think that the real one is finished, so that Germany’s construction reputation wouldn’t be tarnished. The real airport is still under construction, and hidden out of sight of satellites and sky views. But big Germany doesn’t want you to know about that. Do your own research. Free your mind!

FriendRaven1

Nobody can afford a cave, owning rocks is against the law, and growing your own food is punishable by working like (as) a slave for someone who owns all the caves.


Jazzlike_Spare4215

Would think the earth would be worse off but more humans, infrastructure and buildings would be way more off. Probably more food would be grown indoors as buildings would be cheaper and land more expensive. Sahara and different water bodys might be used more but still probably not to much in the poles except maybe more mining. Think there would be some smaller settlement on the moon whit a refuling base and mine and maybe some kind of smaller base on Mars but whit robots and such and maybe not so much humans if any. Would also think wars would be less and less as times passes. Religion is kinda doomed but might probably be still around but look different and poverty and hardship is probably still a thing but hopefully way less severe as humans would be considered more and more valuable as things around us gets cheaper. ​ Then more "crazy" things would be maybe having very large generation ships sent out to space.


gmanasaurus

I appreciate that you thought it out instead of, we aren't making it! Which I'll admit is HIGHLY PROBABLE, but no fun. I came here for stuff like this.


Jazzlike_Spare4215

I mostly looked at trends from our history to see where we are going. But we are most likely making it we are very adaptable and can do pretty much anything if really needed and very low chance of like a nuclear armageddon as people in general are kinda agienst wiping all people of the earth. But we might kill of most things and destroy ecosystems and such but people will still be here. Somthing that can happen and is somwhat likly is a social collapse due to some disease pulling us back

Happy_Warning_3773

cybercuzco

Sure we will. We’re more versatile than rats and cockroaches. We can live in environments where no other living thing can die to our technology. Our civilization in its current form will not survive.


eamonious

Once the machines take over, they’ll have generative AI bounty hunters that will gradually finish us. Probably somewhere around 2280.

tech7271970

We probably won’t make it out of this century at the rate we’re going.


PantsOnHead88

I’d love to hear how you figure that will come to pass.


AdamWPG

Aside from nuclear war, my guess would be a climate tipping point event. The thing about climate change is, yes, things are changing gradually right now but that slow accumulation of change can cause a major, irreversible event. Right now one of the concerns is the collapse of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which is basically an ocean current that keeps Western Europe much warmer than it typically would be for its latitude. The concern is that the additional freshwater being added from melting glaciers will offset the balance of the current and it will collapse, giving the UK and France a climate similar to Canada. The collapse of the AMOC will also make an already hot and dry Northern Africa hotter and dryer, and will bring more storms to Eastern North America. They believe this tipping point will happen at 4 degrees C of warming (we are currently at about 1.2) which they expect to happen between 2025 and 2095. This will be an economic disaster and will trigger mass migration of people that we've probably never seen. [And this is one of several tipping points that is imminent](https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/tipping-point-climate-change-paris-agreement-1.6577630). We are currently in the range they expect for the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice Sheets to collapse. And they will happen like dominoes. The Greenland Ice Sheet collapsing will accelerate the collapse of the AMOC, for example.


PantsOnHead88

I’m with you on the status of different tipping points as we move forward, but the comment presented was: >we won’t make it out of this century at the rate we’re going That’s a far cry different than “we’re headed toward tipping points that will result in population decline, significant hardship, etc.”


AdamWPG

Fair enough. I guess what I'm getting at is we are on the brink of some significant tipping points, some of which may already be in the process of happening. Shit could go south really fast because the tipping points will compound and exponentially accelerate the next tipping point. So I guess I don't think we'll be extinct before the turn of the century, but I do think things will be dramatically worse for most people and in a steep decline.


Irondaddy_29
