@realhackhistory@chaos.social i recently read the german book “Der 2000 Crash” in which the author portrayed himself as calm and reasonable compared to all the doomsayers, but he was still like “don’t make calls on new year’s eve, don’t use the escalator, and god forbid, don’t be in a plane!” :D
@realhackhistory@chaos.social the book even has a little “doomsday prepper” section, as we would say today (:
