Nah, a plague is too arbitrary. We need charismatic cult leaders, so we can be assured the mass suicide victims are all fucking idiots.

[–]Corbenik 4 points5 points ago

Cultist are actually just as intelligent as the average person. Cults tend to target people who, for example, have had their entire family die in a brutal train wreck, and are at their weakest. Essentially the times in your life when you seek meaning, connection to humanity, and reasons for living are the times in which you would be much more likely to join a cult, regardless of your intelligence.

cults tend to target all people, not just recent victims of familycide

[–]Corbenik 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I apologize for not being clear.

While cults target everybody, the people most likely to join a cult (and therefore the people they will focus on) tend to be people who have recently experienced tragedy or some other event that would lead them to lose their grip on reality. Not necessarily family side, but a something that shatters your worldview.

If we could engineer it so it primarily targeted people who posted "hilarious" Facebook screenshots on Reddit, that'd be just fantastic.

Well..the planet has a plague every hundred years or so and we were due for one in 2010. So keep a look out.

Ahem: SARS, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Mad Cow Disease. You can't say the planet isn't trying.

I have a friend who is desperately hoping for a zombie apocalypse. I try to explain how horrible it would be and he takes offense as if I were insulting him. Its fucking strange and starting to get to the point where its creepy. Fucking weirdos, man.

I know this comment isn't really related to the picture all that much, but is that the show "The Office"? Because I've never seen it before, and I was wondering if it was worth checking out, that joke was awesome :P

Yes, yes it is, and yes it was.

It's scary when you see this population chart: population

but then you see this: pop growth

It's said that it'll be impossible to reach 8 billion and that population will eventually go down.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Fertility rates have been dropping below the minimum necessary for growth in developed nations. The concern now is bringing up the health of the poorest parts of the world so that their fertility rates drop. I figure it will happen before it's too late.

Yeah but that's going too far. How about we settle on a milder plague that targets mostly stupid people?

That whole "there's" and "there are" error bothers me.

In real life, not the picture.

I think I heard that all the poverty in the world is caused by politics, and such things. Overpopulation, at least at the moment, isn't the problem.

Can't cite a source though.

Don't worry, I got a plan guys. Just don't drink the water in the Us in about 20 years. Or breathe a lot. Actually it's better if you don't speak at all.

[–]broburnham 1 point2 points ago

The people in my apartment and I want to host a "population control" party. We plan to get a barrel or two of whiskey and invite as many people as possible. The goal is to get everyone completely obliterated to the point where they either die, or cant get it up. Thusly controlling the population.

(you will all be invited once we pick a date)

If you stand everyone on the planet shoulder to shoulder, the crowd would fit within the city limits of greater Los Angeles.

Food is cheaper now than it was 30 years ago though.

A shortage of food would result in much higher prices. This is evident in the past couple seasons when bad crops in russia(among other things) have driven prices to the highest they have been in over a decade.

Yet despite being so high they are still below the prices of 30 years ago.

[–]fairlyrandom 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The only time I've actually managed to complete that game, I started in Madagascar.

Surprisingly, Madagascar kept their ports open, spewing out the disease (a bacteria if I remember) even after all of its population was infected.

...Scumbag Madagascar: A man coughs in Brazil..shut, down, EVERYTHING. All of Madagascar infected by an apocalyptic death bacteria.. send, to, EVERYONE.

I'm voting no on the plague. I hate it when people show up at work sick.

[–]Phased 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Whats not funny is I truly think this way, and also feel a plague is too slow. Medicine extends life too much, and people are not dieing at the age they should, however, we are fortunate enough to be getting bacteria and viruses that evolve too fast for medicine that can also get more potent.

I feel like everyone who's been "saying that for years" should go ahead and start the process with themselves first.

we could share notes on starting a zombie apocolypse. my research has taken me nowhere though.

After world government is completely installed, they'll systematically take away our resources and release famines and plagues until we reduce "Down to zero" as Bill Gates would say. Population reduction is a reality, and it's not funny to joke about it. Okay, it was funny when Dwight said it, but it's not actually funny to think it.
