Massive weapon of destruction

So, there's a 1 in 8 chance of a massive solar flare fucking up all kinds of shit by 2020.

Of course, there's nothing we could do about it if it happened, but hey, at least we've been warned.

Now, see, this is what I get for atypically reading a Stephen King novel, lol! The sudden 'natural world catastrophe' trope is big in his fat novel "11/22/63"....tho' it was wild earthquakes, not solar flares.

I know this is chickenshit of me, but damn I am glad to be old. I don't think I have the energy for two many more decades of shit hitting fans while mankind focuses on shit like hating black guys in office and women who might have the nerve to have sex without pregnancy.

Who needs to think up shit for sci-fi stories? Reality gives us all the material we need.

Dystopia all the time....no fantasy required.
