I recently saw someone creating a bingo chart for 2025 so I decided to create one for 2026 (image of this post). What are your predictions for 2026?

    • Yet another racism scandal in the Finnish parliament, PM Petteri Orpo gets to clean the mess again
    • Still no peace deal in Ukraine
    • Yet another impeachment attempt on Trump that goes as well as the previous ones
    • Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)
    • Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, leading to a refugee wave to the Fediverse
    • The civil war among Republicans continues, maybe leads into abandoning Trump?

      [FREE SPACE] contenders in here, but I like this one the best. The next one is a very close second.

      Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, but people still stay on there for no sane reason except it has more content and porn.

    I had to look up ‘enhanced games’

    Back in the day, someone suggested that people should read a lot of science fiction books so they’d be ready for the changes the future would bring.

    I should have read no science fiction, because I am constantly being disappointed by what people decide to do with tech.

      I had to look it up too.

      I was thinking “who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to run an Olympics-style sporting event that encourages PED use?” until I got to this part in the article:

      “…with backing by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr…”

      Oh, okay, that makes sense. It’s just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. They’re probably hoping to see people die in these games.

        They probably took Squid Game as a fun suggestion.

          Some Onion-style editorial suggested referring to murdered school children as ‘patriot angels’ because they died defending the 2A. Charlie Kirk said pretty much the same thing with no irony.

    There are way too many negative fields, i.e. “XYZ does NOT happen”. You have to wait until 2027 to be able to cross them off.

      Waiting for 2027 and then evaluating was the plan. I don’t see that as a problem. It’s not a real bingo chart so I don’t have to finish fast.

      I think there the government is also starting a controversial draft law, basically citizens will be drafted at random, cuz people aren’t interested in dying in foreign land.

      There was another case that happened, a kid made fun of a solider who came to their school for recruitment and he made fun of him. So now that kid is being prosecuted (some years of community service) so basically this sets a precedent that you can make fun of others but not military

      Edit: i forgot to mention im talking about Germany
