I recently saw someone creating a bingo chart for 2025 so I decided to create one for 2026 (image of this post). What are your predictions for 2026?
You don’t really want stuff on a bingo board that’s framed like “this doesn’t happen”, like “US will not pass a law for real AI safety”. On this board you have 3 things that would only ever be marked off on the 1/1/27. That’s not good design.
This kind of pedantery is peak autism right here (hello fellow autist)
The board lacks general scalability.
My post is not a classical bingo - not a race to bingo first. Bingo is just the template that holds the predictions. I agree in general though.
Free space: US Starts a War with Venezuela
I really hope China stops fucking around with Taiwan. (am Taiwanese)
I am not Taiwanese, but I have the same hope. However, if Trump gets away with Venezuela and Putin with Ukrain, I see no reason why China would not follow through with their threats. Luckily, I think Taiwan more ready to fight back than Venezuela.
Thanks! Hope it’ll turn out fine
I’m gonna hold your hands for this…
Aww thank you
World War Five.
Man, the IOC and WADA are super corrupted organizations, but I don’t think that the “Enhanced Games” are anything close to the right solution to that problem. Doing the wrong things and claiming the right reasons…
I had to look up ‘enhanced games’
Back in the day, someone suggested that people should read a lot of science fiction books so they’d be ready for the changes the future would bring.
I should have read no science fiction, because I am constantly being disappointed by what people decide to do with tech.
I had to look it up too.
I was thinking “who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to run an Olympics-style sporting event that encourages PED use?” until I got to this part in the article:
“…with backing by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr…”
Oh, okay, that makes sense. It’s just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. They’re probably hoping to see people die in these games.

They probably took Squid Game as a fun suggestion.
Some Onion-style editorial suggested referring to murdered school children as ‘patriot angels’ because they died defending the 2A. Charlie Kirk said pretty much the same thing with no irony.
remember death race, starring sly stallone? that sounds fun
There are way too many negative fields, i.e. “XYZ does NOT happen”. You have to wait until 2027 to be able to cross them off.
Waiting for 2027 and then evaluating was the plan. I don’t see that as a problem. It’s not a real bingo chart so I don’t have to finish fast.
A Public US Person Gets Shot belongs in the FREE SPACE box, because it’s a given.
I think this one works just as well despite being 3 years old.
Alien pussy found
“Yeah, but is it underage, though?” - Rich people, for some reason…
- Yet another racism scandal in the Finnish parliament, PM Petteri Orpo gets to clean the mess again
- Still no peace deal in Ukraine
- Yet another impeachment attempt on Trump that goes as well as the previous ones
- Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)
- Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, leading to a refugee wave to the Fediverse
- The civil war among Republicans continues, maybe leads into abandoning Trump?

[FREE SPACE] contenders in here, but I like this one the best. The next one is a very close second.
Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, but people still stay on there for no sane reason except it has more content and porn.
Let’s hope that Linux clears 10%! It’s an ambitious goal, but absolutely possible!
Here is mine, I yoinked some of your predictions, and/or changed them a bitBBC is reporting that the USA has launched strikes against Venezuela…
So you’ve got one ticked off already and it’s only the 3rd Janiary.
Not really happy about being right on that one, I gotta admit
You wrote AI bubble bursts twice
It is only on the card once though?
They’re saying it’s something very positive.
Yep :)
I’m just a bit too salty about RAM prices
So real.
Us arracks Venezuela and kidnapps president.
Buddy, you’re not gonna fucken believe this…
More online censorship laws being passed.
climate change worsens
“Germany’s far right receives more votes” is already the free space.
To be fair they also put “Public American figure gets shot” which is pretty much a guarentee
Statistically inevitable, really, especially compounded by the widening definition of what a public figure is due to social media.
I hate the far right!
Climate change worsening is a given.
I’m going to predict that the forecasted warming goes down thanks to Chinese production (like every year).
