Right now, climate change. This planet was a paradise and we ruined it for ourselves. I don’t think we have very long before ecosystems just start breaking down in massive ways.

Well, considering on all the other planets we know about its “die or be dead”, I’d classify that as “paradise”
Climate change, and the generations after me who will have nothing left.
Probably about my pets
Me too. Just tonight I lost my cat, and found her hours later, with a tomcat on top… Doctor said she’s too young to be spayed, he was wrong…
Job, lack of relationship/connection, climate, existing in a semi burnout state.
My cancer returning.
My lovely anxiety keeps it ever changing.

All my mechanical keyboards would be useless
A modern day Carrington Event would probably fuck us up pretty bad, so in a way, I’m right there with you
My job ends up eradicated in this grand shutdown, we could meet up at the forest and foot race the deer?
If the entire Internet/power grid just shut down permanently, it probably wouldn’t take very long until you (and everyone around you) died. It’s not just your entertainment anymore.
Electricity obviously keeps your electric appliances going, including HVAC. Even if it’s gas, it probably needs electricity to work (e.g. fans on the furnace).
Electricity at a grid level keeps the natural gas flowing. Any backup options would quickly deplete.
It’s also necessary for gasoline, since it all stops flowing if it can’t be billed. Remember the gas shortage because of a ransomware attack? Those systems won’t have power very long.
You won’t have tap water, nor would there be clean/treated water at the source.
Now, what if you had electricity, but there was no longer any Internet? Well, that’s a little better. It’s possible that emergency operations could be implemented (using the military) to keep you barely alive, until things could be fixed. But let’s just assume the Internet is completely gone. Then what happens?
Remember when I mentioned the ransomware attack? Those systems probably don’t have an offline mode. If they can’t bill for it, the gas stops flowing.
No credit cards, no bank transfers, no phones. The public Internet is now the medium for nearly all communication outside of an org.
You can’t buy food at the grocery store, but it won’t matter for long because they can’t order anything more, and the trucks can’t deliver it.
Most people would be dead in about a week, maybe 2.
Start buying books and physical video games and download stuff xd
Mum. Since dad passed away early on 2024 I’ve been doing my best to care for her, but there’s only so much I can do.
There’s no simple explanation, no simple solution. I do what I can, putting both love and logic into every decision, but I am still worried about the future she has.
Climate change and all of the bullshit it will bring before it kills enough humans to start fixing the issue.
I worry that we’ll only get it fixed once the human population falls to some horrifically low number.
That is the fix
That’s the only way climate change will ever be addressed in any way that matters
Being unceremoniously fired and homeless.
Not having enough money when I’m old. I don’t have children or close family so I worry about what’s going to happen to me when I’m older.

I wouldn’t be elected, politicians usually have families and resources.
I worry about money.
Death.
Not mine, but my parents are aging, and my chickens have a short life span compared to some animals. So I know damn good and well I’m losing someone or something I care a great deal about, and almost certainly in the next decade if not sooner.
Also have a damn chipped tooth and my damn dentist has been on vacation since before Christmas. Wouldn’t be a worry, but the damn thing irritates my tongue.

Fascism & climate collapse.
