The trajectory of climatechange will as is unlock the cascade scenario
Pretty soon too. I love programming simulations of chaotic systems. One thing that they all seem to have in common is that there’s a very fine line between fairly stable chaos and absolutely runaway crazy chaos. It’s something that scientists call the edge of chaos. That’s where our world and all life on it thrives. We have to be right on the knifes edge between order and disorder for complexity to emerge and stabilize.
Push the system slightly too far in one direction and things spiral out of control VERY quickly. It’s not going to slowly get worse for decades… it’s going to slowly get worse then BOOM… things will get really fucking bad really fucking fast.
Ooh, a new gamemode? Surprisingly fun sounding, if not for all the death
Judith Barsi was a child voice actress who played Ducky in The Land Before Time. She died in a murder suicide perpetrated by her father.
This one was a gut punch when I learned it.
CEOs now make almost 400 times more than the average worker
This is the worst one imo
Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a severe form of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It’s a life threatening skin reaction that’s thought to be caused by an immune response to certain medications. The medications known to trigger TEN range from ibuprofen, certain antibiotics (penicillin being one), anticonvulsants, and steroids. We aren’t sure what exactly causes it or how to stop it. One day you’re taking something for your headache, a few days later you start getting painful red splotches on your skin. Once the first ones show up, they spread, often across your entire body. The redness grows and gets more painful, blisters form, and then your skin starts falling off! Everywhere! The only level of care at this point is to treat you like a severe burn patient, because that’s essentially what you are. With large swathes of skin completely gone from your body, the only recourse is skin grafts and management of symptoms. Infections are common during the healing process and the prognosis isn’t great. If it progresses into TEN, the odds of survival are about 50%. But don’t worry, it’s so rare and triggered by so many different medications it’s pointless to try to avoid it. If the good Lord decides to kill you with it, there’s nothing you can do about it!
I take lamotrigine for bipolar disorder. Had to watch for this every time I restart (gotta love that bipolar decision that you’re fine and stop taking your meds).
The small section in the wikipedia article you link to on HIV struck me (see here).
It says that HIV increases the chances of having TEN by 1000x, reasons also unknown. I don’t know if that makes sense given the pathology of HIV/AIDS, but it struck is another example of infection by pathogens having this long tail side effects that we may not know much about or be on top of (the Multiple Sclerosis and Glandular Fever thing recently being another notable one).

And then they drink/inhale that pee
All that is born shall die.
This too shall pass
Serenity now.
