@Oldtimers365 Why should a person stop watching something thats entertaining? Many cartoons back in the day were satirical political and social comment, especially during the WWII era. They made both kids and adults laugh. Adults could read between the lines of slapstick comedy

@Kristinartz It's theirs they can do with it what they wish. Get off your lazy ungrateful paracisitic ass and make something for your self.

@DoctorWhoWorld_ Did great considering the ridiculous writing and direction the poor woman and her fellow actors were forced to endure.

@scitechgirl If one did travel into the future wouldn't one's actions upon return actually change the future visited?

Humanity’s Population Could Fall Much Faster Than We Think

For centuries, the world’s population grew at an unprecedented pace, rising from just 1 billion in 1800 to over 8 billion today. But that era is ending.

Global fertility has dropped from about five children per woman in the 1960s to around 2.3 today, with many countries already below the replacement rate. As populations age and birth rates decline, the UN expects humanity to peak at around 10.3 billion in the 2080s before slowly shrinking.

But what if a major global crisis changed everything?

A recent mathematical study suggests that if Earth’s carrying capacity suddenly fell to around 2 billion people due to severe environmental collapse, pandemics, resource shortages, or conflict, the global population could halve in just 40 years. It’s a hypothetical scenario—not a prediction—but it highlights how quickly demographic trends can shift under extreme stress.

The future of humanity may depend not only on how many people are born, but on how well we navigate the challenges ahead.

The wonderful actor Sam Neil (RIP) with Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern at a hotel on location for Jurassic Park some years ago. A truly touching moment with friends. Sam will be missed.

@historyrock_ Buddhism holds the belief that all things are transient. I'm not Buddhist but a few things they believe certainly ring true.
