I believe everything went to shit November 2 2016. It’s all been downhill since the Cubs won the World Series. Just think of all those Cubs fan begging and praying for a World Series victory, “ just let this happen, I don’t care what happens afterward just let me experience one” all that had to have some effect on the universe and everything else that has happened since can be directly blamed on the Chicago Cubs and their fans.
Slightly tongue in cheek.But I think the creation of social media ended the world as we knew it.

"No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead"
We're done for. As many of you have already said, it's climate change. We've passed the tipping point. Climate migration is going to pick up and turn into a humanitarian crisis, and eventually water wars will actually become a thing. Food scarcity will happen. After all that, whatever else is going on seems like barely worth mentioning. I do, however, thing a huge plague is inevitable too though, or superbug infections, or both. Covid was child's play IMO. And we pretty much failed that test.
I realize this comment is almost 3 years old, but since this thread popped up, I'll comment. I think this will happen, but not because of climate change. Before climate changes brings us to that point, the world's population will. We've gone from 1 billion to 8 billion in 200 years. That to me is nuts. The Colorado River has been dried up the last 100 miles for 60 years. To think the river that carved out the Grand Canyon is 100% consumed and has been for decades is baffling. We may have reached a turning point with climate, but food and water shortages due to sheer population and sustainability limits on food and water will beat us out before climate does. Even a big plaque, or if Thanos snaps his fingers and uses a blip, that only buys us a few decades of reversing the population growth.
