In this edition of Not This Week, the world surprised everyone by not falling apart.

No new world war broke out, the Amazon rainforest didn’t vanish overnight, and Twitter didn’t become a government-run propaganda machine. Experts warned of global collapse, environmental disaster, and authoritarian control—but somehow, humanity stayed calm, trees stayed standing, and cat memes stayed viral.

Is peace just a fluke or the quiet win we didn’t expect? Join us as we explore why disaster forecasts went sideways, what resilience looks like, and why staying together might be the most underrated news of all.

Don’t forget to comment with the disaster you secretly wish would happen just for fun!
