He told me specifically that China's phosphate export limits would hit us hard three years before it even made the news, and I just thought he was being dramatic about his corn yields.
I was digging through old Reddit threads and stumbled onto a comment from r/Futurology in May 2020. Some user named 'AI_Worker2025' said GPT-3 would replace customer service jobs within 3 years and make coding obsolete for basics. Everyone laughed at him back then but now its happening. Has anyone else found older predictions that actually came true like that?
Was digging through old threads last night and stumbled on a post from r/PrepperIntel from March 2019. Someone who worked at Abbott's plant in Sturgis, Michigan warned about a major production line being shut down for months due to contamination issues. They said it would ripple through the supply chain and cause shortages for infants on specialty formulas. At the time people just laughed it off as fear mongering. Then in 2021 the plant actually closed and the whole crisis exploded. Has anyone else found early warnings that got dismissed by the crowd?
