The Borg prediction in 2014 that [MaxwellBuchanan] will become a
figure of ridicule and derision is proved unambiguously to be correct. |
|
| |
[8th] will miss the boat for the 2017 idea as well. |
|
| |
The beginning of the singularity will be marked
when the halbakery itself will post the B.I.P for
2017, and get some of them right. Its attempt to
take over the world will fail miserably, however,
when it attempts to build Terminator-mimes using
custard and pykrete. |

There is always one brat playing in the sandbox. (throws
sand in [MB]'s eyes)............. |
|
| |
I like 'brat' - makes me sound so.... young. |
|
| |
Someone will create and activate a server capable of fielding
three mega-bips per second bringing about Armageddon. Only
cats and butlers will survive. |
|
| |
Elections will be canceled due to lack of interest. |
|
| |
In 2015 Spacey returns to a cheering crowd of bakers, and says
something about the possibility of 2016 elections being
cancelled. |
|
| |
Well, to us that sounds like you're trying to orchestrate some sort
of Nazi revival … |
|
| |
I would think that Back to the Future will resume with
Forward to the Past. |
|
| |
I'm always happy when someone else bumps ideas like this. I
get to comment without feeling guilty about possibly
polluting the front page with stuff people don't want to see. |

People will finally understand communications in nature,
and find out that there are other intelligent and sensuous
animals on earth, but due to some weird turn of history,
that knowledge will be lost on humanity, since most people
will either be invested in the politics of the pre-war era, the
collapse of the US economy, or in the protests against the
new intellidrug, that boosts people's computational and
rational skills at the expense of their social behavior and
capabilities. |

Hard Tak will change from a candy to a boating direction, and back again. |

A giant comet may hit earth in 2016 or carry the zombie apocalypse plague. World war 3 will start in the middle east. And Jesus will take the chosen up to heaven to leave all non believers to nuke themselves. Obama will confess to being a homosexual. Putin will say that Aliens run the white house. And China will start a war in the Pacific over trade lanes while trying to exert a greater control of the waters out from it's shores. The Ukraine will be annexed as part of Russia or be forced into putting a puppet of Russia in office. The drug cartels will annex parts of south America while creating a Drug State. Energy prices will rise due to Obamanomics. Those are my Blatantly idiotic predictions for 2016. :P |

Donald Trump will be elected President. The populations of
Mexico and Canada will jump by 4000% as a result,
prompting Mexico to build a wall to keep the illegal USians
out. |
|
| |
France will accept another 100,000 Syrian refugees, but
refuse Americans seeking asylum on fears of terrorism
against women's health clinics. |

It's a candy? The stuff I've seen is some kind of inedible rock
made from flour. |
|
| |
[Rayford], don't know how idiotic of a prediction that is. Sadly
it is a very real possibility. I'll be moving to Mexico before they
close the border. You betcha. |

People will look back at 2015 and call it "last year".
However, it will then occur to them that it clearly
wasn't. |
|
| |
In December 2016, [Ian Tindale] will post a halfbakery idea called "Blatantly Idiotic Predictions for 2017". |
|
| |
A low-level peon working for a major printer manufacturer on product testing gets bored with the regular test patterns, and as a joke scribbles a bit of C++ code to generate sequential alphabetic patterns corresponding to those described in Arthur C. Clarke's story "The Nine Billion Names of God". <link>. |
|
| |
On the very last page of the printout, there is a paper jam. |
|
| |
The tester clears the jam. The printer asks, "RESUME ? (Y/N)" to which the tester answers in the affirmative. The printer then asks, "ARE YOU SURE ? (Y/N) ?", a response the tester has never seen before. Without thinking, he selects "Y" and the printer obediently disgorges the final sheet of names. |
|
| |
The word "slaplicate" or "slapplicate", and variations
thereof, will be added to ordinary English dictionaries. |
|
| |
I suspect the only thing "idiotic" about this prediction is
the time frame. |
|
| |
For anyone who doesn't know, dictionary editors look
for "common usage" when adding words to dictionaries.
So, for this prediction to become true as early as 2016,
people need to be encouraged to use it as frequently
and as widely as possible. |
|
| |
Do note that it already has a long-time meaning, which
never had a word to describe it. When you slap
someone on the back, and leave a "Kick Me!" sign
attached, that is an example of the word in question
(spelling to be determined by Common Usage, of
course!). |
|
| |
// dictionary editors look for "common usage" when

|
| |
I'm not sure "slapplicate" will make it.
Howevertheless, I may be wrong. |
|
| |
If you keep using howevertheless, that might make it
someday too. |
