Miami lost
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
It’s surely a prime candidate for being the next Atlantis.
A pinch of round-up and artificial sweetener to your shake and we’re talking top tier diet
By then we may have evolved that these things are essential nutrients. x_x
people in the year 10,000: wtf is a “meal”
(translated from 7th dimensional quantum vibration language)
sucks to say it, but i don’t think we’ll be forgotten. unfortunately, i think we’re gonna be remembered forever. the old god-kings could only wish to achieve what our teenagers now want to erase.
(edit - changed ‘kinds’ to ‘kings’
I disagree. All our current storage methods still degrade, not to mention they almost all rely on technology to be read.
If nothing happens, sure. We can keep things preserved, know how to access the data from them, make copies as needed, etc., but that would’ve applied to the Library of Alexandria.
Most, if not all (afaik) MySpace profiles are gone. We can archive all of Facebook and Instagram, but thousands of years is a long time to not have accidents, mistakes, war or even natural degradation destroy some or all of the data carriers.
That’s not the threat.
The library of Alexandria wasn’t destroyed by old age.
The politicians will decide things have to be sent down the memory hole, much like the palmpsest of Archimedes was reused for scripture.
i just spent about 20 minutes writing a thoughtful, engaging reply. it was a good three paragraphs. then i accidentally closed the tab. i just learned that lemmy doesn’t give you one of those annoying “are you sure?” dialogs, and it doesn’t restore what you wrote when you come back. oh well, lesson learned :|
main point i was going to engage with was: it’s different now than it was back then. information is now ubiquitous and very easily shared. but it’s also very easily manipulated. we’re now entering a new challenge, where i don’t think it’ll be about erasing information insomuch as muddying the water to the point that no one knows what to trust. facetiously, you could consider it the “age of firehose” when they call it the “age of aquarius”. i’m old enough to remember the analog days. what will it be like for people in two or three generations who have no footing in the “real world”, so to speak?
(i wrote this in a text editor and then copied it over - gotta make that my new habit. i’m really disappointed, because i had a good stream of thought going for this one)
FireDragon has a scratchpad in the sidebar. I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like a great idea. That way, I don’t have to switch to a text editor to compose anymore.
Mobile apps usually have a drafts section (boost at least has it). Web ui most likely doesn’t, since it’s pretty barebones and is much better as a clientside feature
it’s definitely an interesting thought. whole swaths of digital storage could be wiped out with a significant solar flare or some similar technology. most digital storage requires some sort of power source (ie. a small battery) in order to hold data. if “the power went out and never came back on”, it would be like a ticking clock to data oblivion.
but data is so much more distributed and duplicated now. and i’m sure fuckerberg has a few pb stored on his hawaiian apocalypse resort.
wait. sorry - this isn’t related - but it just occurred to me. maybe i’m just slow. but zuck is building his survival bunker in hawaii. hawaii? like, the place that’s ALL volcanoes? that seems really dumb. i must be missing something. that must be an interesting engineering project.
Bold of them to assume we’d survive that long.
If humanity can get through the next 100 years, there isn’t much that can kill us off. I’m hopeful.
The sunken ruins of Miamidade are truly remarkable. Some theorize the city may have even been operational while already underwater, judging by their reverence to Dolphins.

America will likely be a desert by then. The hundred meridian line is moving east like 14 cm a year. So Thats over the Atlantic by like 3100.
United States of Arizona
Thats what makes the lost city of Miami so magical. What is a Ocean?
