    Pffft.

    What about the hadron collider firing up in 2009?

    Or the Mayan calendar running out in 2012?

    Or the great cosmic body collision of 2024?

    Oh wait…

      Most of those events you showed aren’t that bad compared to the many of the ones shown on his patch which are pretty dangerous events, or ones that had very real dangerous potential.

      There is a theory that we are actually living in the year 1723 due to a theory about the Roman empire forwarding the calendar by 300 years so some could supposedly rule for 300 years. Meaning that, if this is true, the Mayan might not be wrong, we just miscalculated.

      That was a real risk, but it was adverted by programmers working to patch the dating systems. It’s unlikely that any missiles would have fired off because the calendar reset, but there was real risks in financial systems.

      … you know, maybe we would have been better off letting it.

    I don’t think the dissolution of the Soviet Union really belongs on this list.

      It actually had the chance of being real bad for the entire world, the west actually spent a lot of resources to keep things stable. The Soviet Union had a lot of nukes

      I remember a lot of fear about “free nukes” at the time. And fearmongering about them being suitcase-sized as well.

        No, that was real. The Soviets had suitcase nukes. No idea where they went. I like to believe most arms dealers don’t want to be anywhere near that sort of ordinance.

          Maybe not, and even if they did, they likely don’t work anymore: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna21723693

      Depends on where one lived at the time I suppose, the Russian economy didn’t exactly do great. It wasn’t life ending for the majority of people, but then neither was Fukushima, or most of these really.
