The Biden cat is removed from the WH for attacking people.

There will be pictures of Trump's penis.

Biden falls and is actually hurt.

Zelensky is replaced.

Trump narrowly loses the general election, promises to run again.

Biden falls, fractures his hip, and is removed under the 25th amendment because leaders need strong hips.

A republican candidate for the house or state senate in one of the Dakotas will literally kill their opponent with a gun during a debate and get elected.

A truck full of uranium waste will disappear. The story will be covered by all news agencies for exactly one week and then never be mentioned again. In 2025, a dirty bomb will be set off by "Hamas" in a major population center.

An article will come out revealing that Biden's aides have secretly been testing his food because they're afraid of Kamala Harris poisoning him. This will not affect Kamala's approval rating in either direction.

Someone will be murdered by a white women for picking up litter in a Walmart parking lot because her wine friends told her that it was a secret way for pedophile crime rings to pass messages to eachother.

In that same town there will be a single article written about an underage prostitution ring being run by a bunch of retired state troopers for superbowl games. No one will read it.

There will be a massive civil war on twitter over whether or not black people need to "take a break so that we can focus on antisemitism right now."

Someone will leave cum on Rand Paul's desk in the senate.

Well see a coup or attempted coup in a EU member state.

Some German politician thats anti-us gets merced.

The newly created American army bases in Denmark lead to assassination(s) of one or more "left" organizers in Denmark. Also just regular army base bullshit.

A new disease starts spreading among cattle. The farmers resist all attempts at regulation, China is blamed.

I lose weight, but because of something bad happening.

A priceless piece of art is destroyed.

Lynetteholmen leads to drastic dieoff of the recently introduced cod-population in the Baltic.

China produces a blockbuster akin to RRR.

Merger between steam and some other platform.

We'll start seeing Ukrainian Nazis doing ISIS shit in other European countries.

There's an upcomming British show that's supposedly bought controversial art and will have the audience decide if it should be burned.

The Milei regime starts murdering protestors.

A western ship is damaged by Ansarallah

At least one high-profile assassination is attempted by Trump supporters.

Supporters of the losing side of the American election refuses to recognise the result.

The winner of the 2024 US presidential election dies before being able to take office.

At least one more member of Lars Løkke Rasmussen's astroturfed centrist party is forced to resign due to doing something weird, pathetic and/or off-putting.

Lars Løkke Rasmussen himself will be caught red-habded in another corruption scandal, but will not be forced to resign.

The new Danish king, being absolutely dogshit at public speaking, will stumble over his own words and say something incredibly stupid.

At least one coup attempt in Ukraine.

Three or more new sanctions packages against Russia.

Trump dies like a month or two before the election

This throws the trump/qanon base into chaos. Some dive deeper into their fantasies, trump isn't dead he faked his death so he could do covert ops and lead the white hats. Others lose their minds and accuse the deep state of assassinating him. There's isolated incidents of stochastic terrorism, but mostly his base is too cowardly and unorganized to do anything, plus they'd rather watch their shows than take any action, so nothing really happens except for a brief increase in funny/sad facebook screenshots.

All the chaos results in Biden being reelected.

Biden dies like the day after he's inaugurated.

Biden's new VP becomes president. Finally, we have the best woman for the job!hillgasm hillgasm hillgasm

Every single moment of 2024 is going to be worse than 2023. So imagine 2023 again but worse and normie dipshits getting increasingly belligerent and unhinged when any of this is pointed out.

Cottage cheese-filled pineapples ala Marguerite Patten become a minor trend on Tiktok for a week.

Your parents get an unofficial separation but are too poor to actually move out so instead chalk sales go way up as miserable boomers with brains fucked up my extremist gender ideology dived their houses in two. Children kill themselves to avoid serving as the middlemen messenger who have to tell the other parent about which bills haven't been paid.

Switch 2 is announced and disappoints as it only does the bare-minimum people expect a console to do. Live-action Zelda trailer drops and people who think video game movies are good defend it using their mental health as a shield.

A "mysterious" disease colloquially known as super-COVID exists and kills 1-2% of the population. The current vaccinations that are 12.5-25% effective against it and cost $125 will be used to blame the deaths on individuals' financial irresponsibility.

Mel Gibson denounces NATO and I'm forced to stan and watch the Lethal Weapon films again.

Edit: Bruce Willis' children speak into his barely-conscious brain via an earpiece to tell people to vote for Biden in a commercial.

Maybe hold each one up to the camera once it's 20% gone, and give little glimpses of what was there before it vanishes into ash.

Maybe in 1 year is too soon but building off the Chinese balloon story this year

Made in Mexico Chinese EVs start slowly getting sold in USA before the US can fully roll out new tariffs to stop them. Americans go batshit insane and start destroying any Chinese EV they see on the road. At least 1 person gets shot while inside one

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

Austria had a bit of a hilarious shitfit recently on the grounds of the EUs "lowest bidder every time means best use of tax money" regulation for public acquisition awarded a fleet contract for EVs to chinese company BYD because turns out they're the lowest bidder and suddenly every fan of big boy adult lean state economic obligation suddenly turned into a protectionist when their rules inevitably lead to pretty much exactly what they want to happen

Palestinian cat goes viral. Israel will try desperately to get an Israeli to get back the narrative which completely backfires with every embarrassing attempt.

Ukraine war will spread to Moldova, crashing the economy of the maldives.

Honestly, most westerners would be more outraged at the zionists murdering a Palestinian cat or dog than they get at them murdering a Palestinian child

Russia attempts a large offensive, trying to end the war before spring. The army makes modest gains, then the offensive stalls again. The war continues by January 2025.

The war in Gaza continues being a meat-grinder with heavy Palestinian, mostly civilian losses and a slow pace of the Israeli offensive. Eventually, a ceasefire happens somewhere in late spring and the situation returns to the pre-October status quo.

A new round of unrest in Venezuela happens after the election.

Fascists win a bunch of European elections.

Some new climate-change related catastrophes happen in both the global north and south, causing unrest and migration in the most affected countries.

New temperature records and "hottest month in history" happen several times through the year.

Some old celebrity or person in position of power, say the pope, dies.

Trump gets blocked from the ballot in multiple states, causing him to drop out of the race and not endorse anyone. Kennedy gets over 10% of the vote. If Biden survives, he wins. Nevertheless, the turnout will drop.

The bourgeois economies remain afloat, stagnant and sickly, but no crisis yet.

Right wing terrorism continues to rear its ugly head.

The UK government doesn't survive until the 2025 election. The Tories go further right, but bootleg Tony Blair wins and changes nothing about the current policies of the United Kingdom... except give more money to cops.

China and Russia remain stable.

The left keeps shrinking.

Israel sees massive inflation from war time spending. The US will stabilize their currency by discretely buying and selling their currency. They will incentivize the private sector to do direct foreign investment. The US will see another inflation event towards the end of the year.

Fascists win elections and culture wars as usual, liberals become irrelevant, and we stay irrelevant only when someone to blame is being brought up.

Normies really REALLY love their fascism and will stick with it through thick and thin.

Dems successfully prevent trump from being a viable candidate and we get to see Jan 6 again, but probably more protracted and even more disorganized. The sicko in me wants to see what the hogs will do.
