Following the trend from around about 2001, every year will be a little bit worse than the year before, except for those years that are a lot worse.

We've been asking "could the next year not be as bad as the last year???" since 2019. But every year has been a little worse.

[gestures at climate] anybody want to tell them?

2027 shows up with a pickaxe.

"What? It's not a shovel."

2027 will probably begin with an insurrection like 2021

Eh, buckle up. Open AI runs out of money in August. First domino in the LLM bubble popping. Those tech companies the only thing keeping the stock market from already looking like a recession. Shits gonna crash

This is why ppl gotta stop saying "this year is gonna be my year". Bad things happen. They will continue to happen. What we can do now though? Like Spain, we should be striking. We should be forcing them all out and kicking them out of the country. Plain and simple. Time is an illusion. Action needs to happen now.

It's never going to get better in the lifetime of anybody alive today.

Sorry, bubbles gonna pop soon. If anything keep your expectations for next decade, this one's already down the drain.

Hey uh please don't fucking jinx it, alright?

It's so freaking sad to watch people finally figure out things are not getting better, not in our lifetimes anyway.

There's a reason these memes have been coming up every year for a while now.

I predict we no longer see this type of meme about 2027 sucking and 2028 better be better. I think we will see some "holy shit 2027" in the first few weeks and after that it won't be much of a joke anymore.

Or, vote in the midterms for -- at least teeth?

why am I hearing heavy digging equipment heading towards me?

Yeah. So far, I’ve lost loved ones every year since 2023. Two of my best friends, my uncle, our cat and our dog.

My heart can’t take losing any more. I need 2027 to recoup.

Hopefully things can turn around a bit after the US midterms, at least?

We've been saying this since 2020.

Hold my fucking beer
- 2027, probably

2027 isn't bringing a shovel, it's bringing a backhoe and a jackhammer.

The bar is in the basement. Please don't bring a shovel

This reads like something a serial killer would say to his date.

If fascists remain in power, unchecked, then 2027 will be worse than 2026. Then 2028 will be worse than 2027.

That's how fascism works.

Hope everyone knows what to do between now and November 5th.

2026 isn't over yet! It could go either way, though.

Sorry I'm out of the loop: Whats up with the shovels?

Whenever people post these kinds of things (and it's a sentiment I agree with, ofc), I always wonder who's expected to reply/do something about it. It almost sounds like a prayer... but certainly not in my Lemmy, right?! 😉
