I recently saw someone creating a bingo chart for 2025 so I decided to create one for 2026 (image of this post). What are your predictions for 2026?
I had to look up 'enhanced games'
Back in the day, someone suggested that people should read a lot of science fiction books so they'd be ready for the changes the future would bring.
I should have read no science fiction, because I am constantly being disappointed by what people decide to do with tech.
I had to look it up too.
I was thinking "who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to run an Olympics-style sporting event that encourages PED use?" until I got to this part in the article:
"...with backing by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr...."
Oh, okay, that makes sense. It's just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. They're probably hoping to see people die in these games.
It's just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. They're probably hoping to see people die in these games.
They probably took Squid Game as a fun suggestion.
Some Onion-style editorial suggested referring to murdered school children as 'patriot angels' because they died defending the 2A. Charlie Kirk said pretty much the same thing with no irony.
There are way too many negative fields, i.e. "XYZ does NOT happen". You have to wait until 2027 to be able to cross them off.
Waiting for 2027 and then evaluating was the plan. I don't see that as a problem. It's not a real bingo chart so I don't have to finish fast.
A Public US Person Gets Shot belongs in the FREE SPACE box, because itβs a given.
I think this one works just as well despite being 3 years old.
Alien pussy found
"Yeah, but is it underage, though?" - Rich people, for some reason...
Let's hope that Linux clears 10%! It's an ambitious goal, but absolutely possible!
Us arracks Venezuela and kidnapps president.
Buddy, you're not gonna fucken believe this...
Here is mine, I yoinked some of your predictions, and/or changed them a bit
BBC is reporting that the USA has launched strikes against Venezuela....
So you've got one ticked off already and it's only the 3rd Janiary.
More online censorship laws being passed.
The USA starts a war with Venezuela, killing innocent people! I said couple ago and it's already happening.
yea that was too easy. I predicted China making a move on Taiwan as a response to that because USA has no argument anymore.
You don't really want stuff on a bingo board that's framed like "this doesn't happen", like "US will not pass a law for real AI safety". On this board you have 3 things that would only ever be marked off on the 1/1/27. That's not good design.
Democrats do not pass electoral reform in the states they control and then scream bloody murder about the spoiler effect that comes along with the voting system they refuse to replace.
Electoral Reform Videos
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems
Venezuela?
Well, my predictions are much more personal, so they really shouldn't have major consequences for others.
I'm predicting, assuming I do end up going to an anime convention with a college club I'm in, that I might have a partial fursuit by then, even if it's just a premade that's probably only made whenever the maker receives an order off their etsy shop. It's either that or, depending on a few things, gonna end up being a used one from a site I can't remember the name of, if I can find a partial that fits me. Lots of ifs.
That, and that I finish the first 4 chapters of a Summer Camp Island fanfiction I am rewriting. The original was all over the place, so I didn't get very far. Lots of bad writing and terrible stereotypes. I'm in the middle of working on the 2nd chapter ( chapter 1 and a chapter not based on any episode is complete ) and it's already feeling like I won't even finish that any time soon.
Gotta set obtainable predictions, which is why I have the second prediction.
Column O looks way too easy tbh.
Who needs a fence when you have land mines.

The withdrawal takes effect in January. Soo⦠yesterday?
President Vance, without a doubt.
Free space: US Starts a War with Venezuela
Germany preparing soldiers for Ukraine is definitely one.
I think there the government is also starting a controversial draft law, basically citizens will be drafted at random, cuz people aren't interested in dying in foreign land.
There was another case that happened, a kid made fun of a solider who came to their school for recruitment and he made fun of him. So now that kid is being prosecuted (some years of community service) so basically this sets a precedent that you can make fun of others but not military
Edit: i forgot to mention im talking about Germany
Germany militarising again? Third time's the charm I guess?
Trump does something stupid.
Nah. Too easy.
Trump is no longer in office. Death, mental incapacity, whatever. There. Thatβs my guess.
Do I have to make 24?
Prediction 20, the solar eclipse in august in spain will be cloudy so you won't be able to see it
