It will rain. Trees will grow. Animals will eat each other. Worms will wriggle. Letters will be used. Knifes will be used. People will get murdered. Water will evaporate and assemble to form clouds. DNA will mutate. Babies will shake their rattles. Planets will circle suns. Birds will eat the unborn eggs of other birds. Human beings - and possibly some types of apes - will pray. Lazy links will be posted. People will drift asleep. The wheels of trains will turn. These sort of things I'd predict. |

sometime along 2021 the speed of time will begin to decrease. everything slows down. the planets´s courses around the sun will take longer. the movement of particles turn to slow motion. photons will travel like stuck to glue. even nuclear reactions like the the suns burning their hydrogen will start to flow like honey. we humans, being part of the very same reactions and matter that the universe is made of, we wont notice anything about it. to us every hour that was a minute will seem the same as it always had until one day everything will suddenly stop. there is this brief moment of nausea like from lack of sleep or when you get up too fast or maybe even like a train stopping. from then on everything will grind to a complete standstill and nothing will be able to move. to us the electrons in our brains will be the last perceivable reactions to stop and we will experience in what is going to feel like eternity being stuck in this very moment frozen in time... |

WE WILL CONFIRM A TECHNOSIGNATURE FROM PROXIMA CENTAURAI, IT WILL BE A NARROW BAND RADIO SIGNAL THAT WILL BE CONFIRMED TO BE FROM A LESS ADVANCED CIVILISATION . BUT IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 30 YEARS TO UNDERSTAND IT AND DECODE ANY MEANING FROM IT. AFTER DECODING THE MEANING, WE WILL THEN BE ON A MISSION TO SAVE THEM. IT WILL CAUSE A DEVIDE WITH MANY BELIEVING IT TO BE A TRAP, OUR ENTIRE RESOURCES WILL BE USED UP TO RESCUE THEM |

Sorry about caps, it just seemed important |

then it turns out that civilization was our own, the message was just reflected from the direction of proxima centauri and by attempting to save others we actually saved ourselves. |

we have actually detected a potential technosignature from Proxima Centuai, it's early days but it's likely to be a reflection from our own technology. So you're almost correct there ha |

wow, just looked that signal up. immedeately thought of an alien riker prendant demanding to narrow down the signal to a specific bandwith so itll be noticed within our mess of radio emissions. the signal is described as a single note slightly going up in pitch as t would from a moving object. that sounds terribly familiar to the cleaners vacuuming the floor. vooooeeeeeeeeeee anyhow proxima centauris two planets are quite interesting. fun to imagine what life may look like there. proxima b circling around teh sun in 11 days only and an atmosphere is questionable due to the suns activity, but being 1,2 earths mass/size. the other one being 7 times the earths mass, cold and having a 5,2 year orbit. creatures there could be incredibly strong compared to us. |

While last year felt never-ending for so many since the world went into lockdown last March due to the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 actually had the shortest days on record, according to TimeandDate.com." |

genuine lol (tm) at that OPN was just the opening salvo; clearly. |

so if it keeps on establishing leap seconds is next, eh? as if changing clocks to summertime and people havin birthday only once in four years isnt confusing enough. |

would you like to hear about the difference between GMC and UTC? no? ok. |

*GMT vs UTC |

googled it to double-check i had it right myself, and, hey, never knew this: Zulu time denotes the Coordinated Universal Time in the 24-hours standard which is used in the military forces and aviation in particular. Namely, Zulu signifies the universal time standard for the pilots who fly in different time zones7. However, the term Zulu is just the synonym for UTC. The name of the time zone derived from the transmission articulation of the letter Z (Zulu). Considering that Z signifies +0 offset from the prime meridian, it is was implemented for the military coordination in time. Eventually, Zulu time replaced GMT with the more accurate timekeeping system of UTC8. This time standard is required for the naval, aviation, and other forms of military communication and coordination of actions in different time zones. There is also a specific rule on how to read and pronounce Zulu time. Namely, there is no colon between numbers and it identifies four digits in a row. For instance, 07:00 should be pronounced as “zero seven hundred” (0700). |

anyways, this is the bit about that whole "rotating faster" thing that keeps me up at night "Consequently, the differences in the terminology of GMT and UTC still create confusion in international cooperation. Even though UTC was introduced as a more accurate time standard, the occurrence of the leap seconds demonstrated that even this system has minor flaws for the universal time synchronisation. One of the most common proposition is to abandon leap seconds adjustments because it would go out sync with civil time very slowly 9." so: GMT is just a time zone, the one we used to use as zero. it does not have leap seconds. it's based on the solar day. UTC is all scientific with atomic clocks; has leap seconds: All leap seconds (as of 2019) have been scheduled for either June 30 or December 31. The extra second is displayed on UTC clocks as 23:59:60. On clocks that display local time tied to UTC, the leap second may be inserted at the end of some other hour (or half-hour or quarter-hour), depending on the local time zone. A negative leap second would suppress second 23:59:59 of the last day of a chosen month so that second 23:59:58 of that date would be followed immediately by second 00:00:00 of the following date. i need to watch for 23:59:60 or such come june 30th! anyways, it's not like airplanes will plummet from the sky, but you can imagine the sort of havoc this inflicts on computer systems: ~ "'Leap Second' Bug Wreaks Havoc Across Web" it will also do charming things like fuck with older GPS systems. but, anyways, main point: we've never done a leap second before, and since it's never been done before, it will trigger computer bugs no one has seen before. not doom or anything, but this is the sort of insane shit that can quietly take out AWS which takes out netflix because everyone laughed at it |

*we've never done a _negative_ leap second before |

oh, hey, i guess i have a 2021 prediction: June 30, 2021, they will add the first ever negative leap second, and things will break. i'm probably just neurotic but i think i'll avoid scheduling any sort of thing like an airplane flight for that day |

that means staying up late on a wednesdays night. probably a real hot day too. 2038... why oh why always keep those limits coming back to haunt us but then i fully expect to be replaced by a modernised version of robot-me to take over my tasks of delivering food, slacking and browsing seriously: everything we need for survival is already done by machines. the only thing left to build is one that scratches its own scrotum and finally render humanity obsolete. |

more streaming video services will launch, existing streaming video services will continue to raise prices at a reliable clip, the market will be increasingly saturated for the level of disposable income people have; once everyone's blown through the mandalorian, netflix comes out as a surprise winner in subscriber numbers. because no one's paying what they paid for cable tv; there's plenty of other stuff to watch on the internet for free. |

happening again i dunno, i actually have trouble with long-range predictions. kind of draw a blank. like.. oh, hmm, no idea. |
