During covid times I heard many interesting conspiracy predictions such as the value is money will fall to zero, the whole society will collapse, the vaccine will kill 99% of the population etc. None of those things have happened yet, but can you add some other predicitons to the list?
Actually, long before covid hit, there were all sorts of predictions floating around. You know, things like the 2008 recession will cause the whole economy to collapse and then we’ll go straight to Mad Max style post-apocalyptic nightmare or 9/11 was supposed to start WW3. I can’t even remember all the predictions I’ve heard over the years, but I’m sure you can help me out. Oh, just remembered that someone said that paper and metal money will disappear completely by year xyz. At the time that date was like only a few years away, but now it’s more like 10 years ago or something. Still waiting for that one to come true…
A prediction from 1900 that in the year 2000 everyone would use ‘Footomobiles’ for transportation. Honestly much preferrable to what actually happened.
They failed to account for the rider looking like a total dork
Well they got one thing right: There are scooters blocking the sidewalk. The numbers of wheels was a bit off though.
Segways?
Basically
I’m in NYC and, while not everyone is using them, electric scooters are popular (i see people commuting by scooters all the time). And most of the kids i know have manual scooters. So the prediction was off by a couple of decades.
Are you crazy?
Those things are death on wheels. 💀
