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.

    They probably took Squid Game as a fun suggestion.

    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.

    • Yet another racism scandal in the Finnish parliament, PM Petteri Orpo gets to clean the mess again
    • Still no peace deal in Ukraine
    • Yet another impeachment attempt on Trump that goes as well as the previous ones
    • Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)
    • Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, leading to a refugee wave to the Fediverse
    • The civil war among Republicans continues, maybe leads into abandoning Trump?

    I know, I know. A risky one. They are taking a lot of debt to please people in 2026 so I took a bet.

    Lots of debt to preserve their healthcare system, but they'll have to take the money somewhere else, I'm betting on public services and unemployment insurance. Plus they have a big political trial coming soon, solo I would've pumped the numbers to 1M, and even so I wouldn't say it's safe haha

    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.

    Trump does something stupid.

    Nah. Too easy.

    Trump is no longer in office. Death, mental incapacity, whatever. There. That’s my guess.

  • oh dude i have the adhd brain type. i will set an alarm and everything, but remembering what the alarm is for, up to and including "Check if Bahnd Rollard from that new years prediction thread on lemmy has practiced making web apps again on 1/3/27" will not be specific enough

  • Prediction two: they'll make a star war, and there will be the usual fan bullshit is it good or not debate up until there is some absolutely unbearable Disney political bullshit they throw in to kowtow to the current powers that be. Then everyone will hate it.

  • Prediction 21, someone will try to explain to krasnov that the reason it's rainier these last few years is the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga HaΚ»apai eruption, and he'll get it in his head that means he should set off some nukes underwater in the pacific. (i admit i might be giving him too much credit with this one)

    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

    STAR voting

    Alternative vote

    Ranked Choice voting

    Range Voting

    Single Transferable Vote

    Mixed Member Proportional representation

    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.

    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
