Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I used to think that with enough public support we’d be able to avoid a world wide collapse within my lifetime.
I no longer believe that will happen.
Collapse of what?
All of it.
Post Ww2 US has made sure supply lines for advanced products has been relatively safe and secure, but only barely. This war with Iran has shown that we no longer live under that security blanket.
Population decline across the world will decimate economies of several countries, the worst being China. Once China falls, and its already started, and they grasp out at then biggest corner they have that continues to export (Taiwan) we won’t have anyone that can make CPUs/gpus at scale.
It’s why the US has tried to get cpu manufacturing within the US. But they can’t because it’s very hard. It’s also still dependent on source materials that only exist in China and in other parts of the world.
The Ukraine and Iran wars have also shown that’s it’s very cheap to blow shit up. Autonomous drones are in the thousands of dollars to make each while the defensive measures are in the hundreds of thousands per shot.
Once china’s working population can’t support their retired population things are going to get ugly. Someone will make a move on Taiwan or some other upstream supply chain widget and suddenly people will be digging out their old computers from the garage.
It’s going to get very bad.
Well that's just geopolitics and economic upheval. That stuff happens all the time. I thought it might be something important.

I don't think this is very appropriate. You are making a joke out of homicide and a parent's violent behavior. I'm great at parties.
