Remember the good old days when a global pandemic shut down the whole world and for like, five days the air was clean, no one got shot in the head, and the coral reefs briefly came back before we dumped a bunch of poison in the ocean, or whatever it is we do? That was kind of nice. Even the version of fear we experienced was kind of chill, compared to 2026, because that kind of fear was rooted in a"what if we all die?" black plague style. Now it's like, well probably most of the world's population is going to live through this, and doesn't that suck ass?
