This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

Cerberus heatwave mostly spared us here with only Saturday being a freakishly hot day (28°C --> 38°C temp jump for a day) but it showed me once again how badly prepared most older buildings are for what is to come.

It unfortuablty also triggers the usual idiots here [as in: here in Germany] that think this is the navel of the world and are shrugging heat waves in other places of because their stupid asses are not sweating. Behaviour like this is so fucking frustrating and one of the main reasons I am very skeptical about humankind surviving in the long run.
