    Antibiotic resistance and the absolutely insane speed at which evolves.

    …also that we can’t just combat it by increasing the dosage, cuz we’re already pushing limits of antibiotic toxicity. Like all substances, too much too fast can and will kill you.

    Don’t worry, I’m sure RFK Jr is seeing to this with utmost urgency. Possibly by jumping into the agar to make ‘snow’ angels.

      Best bet for this is likely bacteriophages.

    Windows 10 on your relatives’ computers. Help them switch to Linux now! End of support is on October 14th.

        Think what you will of Apple but for this scenario you can’t beat iPad + AppleCare. A simple device and if anything comes up that the tech illiterate relatives don’t understand they can just call Apple support instead of you. Has saved me hours of my life.

          Agreed. My mum wasn’t sure but has been rocking an iPad for something like 5 years now trouble free. I just make sure it’s updated every now and then when I’m round there and that’s it.

      No point being concerned about it, though, when it comes down to it.

      We wouldn’t even notice, we’d all just cease to exist… not even long enough to enjoy the disappointment on all the sky daddy believers’ faces when it would happen
