Peak Oil
Now i'm hoping not to scare you, but my science teacher scared me.
Soon we will be reaching a point called 'peak oil' when we extract the maximum amount of oil available to us. We take oil for granted and is used in everything from clothing to computers. There is a finite amount of oil in the earth, so eventually we will run out. Peak oil will strike somewhere between now and 2025, and then oil production will start to decrease. During the time leadin up to it, gas for our cars is becoming more expensive, along with any oil products.
It will cost more to visit friends in other cities.
Plastic is made out of oil. Less plastic...stuff.
That means we might not be able to visit friends and family in other cities. We will all have to buy bikes and learn to ride them.
Discuss how horrified you are of peak oil and how you will survive.
How scratch will survive
The entire misc community will move to some forest with a nice stream and lots of wood. We will all carve our history into the rock of a nearby mountain. We will punch trees and mine diamond until we have a thriving village, and then continue that way for 5 years, after which an animal farm scenario occurs. Then we are done for.

Re: Peak Oil
Bikes require oil to make.

Punching trees is the answer, clearly.
It was a minecraft reference. I am being humorous
I know, but I was serious. Go punch a tree now!
Not really, it's not very nice to the trees.
Fine...
I love trees. I prefer to pet rather than punch these perfect examples of perpendicular pencil...uh...I give up.

Re: Peak Oil
You said oil products will become more expensive after 2025. Oil is already expensive 
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Because the conservative idiots don't want us to drill in anywhere with any decent amount of oil in it because there's a rare species of snail there.
Such is their logic.

Message: get used to it.

'I sent my friends a mail' 8D Good job. Hopefully we can create a chain message and inform the world of the end.

Re: Peak Oil
Sometime in the next 20 years or so, the Earth's axis will flip upside down, therefore flipping the seasons. Also, it will mess up the satellites, making GPS's and cell phones useless.
(I am almost confident this is true, as my science teacher told me.)
