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?

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. Honestly, 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…
Let’s hope that Linux clears 10%! It’s an ambitious goal, but absolutely possible!
- 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.
Us arracks Venezuela and kidnapps president.
Buddy, you’re not gonna fucken believe this…
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.
More online censorship laws being passed.
Politics:
- Democrats take back House, Republicans barely cling to Senate.
- Donald Trump dies at somepoint
- Republicans start seeing losses in other fields of political power, but rural counties will still place faith in them.
- Vladimir Putin starts considering nuclear weapons as a last resort to bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.
- China starts making moves to Taiwan
Celebrity Deaths:
- Rob Halford passes away
- Keith Richards passes away
Sports:
- Jacksonville Jaguars gets their first Super Bowl
- Oklahoma City Thunder are NBA Finals Champions
- Either Seattle Mariners or Toronto Blue Jays finally get the job done for a World Series
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).
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.
Democrats do not pass electoral reform in the states they control and then scream bloody murder about the spoiler effect that comes along with the voting system they refuse to replace.
Electoral Reform Videos
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems
The USA starts a war with Venezuela, killing innocent people! I said couple ago and it’s already happening.
yea that was too easy. I predicted China making a move on Taiwan as a response to that because USA has no argument anymore.
Well you see that’s why you make it the free space
No protest with over 500k ppl in France? Have you lost your mind?
I know, I know. A risky one. They are taking a lot of debt to please people in 2026 so I took a bet.
Lots of debt to preserve their healthcare system, but they’ll have to take the money somewhere else, I’m betting on public services and unemployment insurance. Plus they have a big political trial coming soon, solo I would’ve pumped the numbers to 1M, and even so I wouldn’t say it’s safe haha
absolutely fair. I don’t know that much about France tbh and from my little research I had only trivial predictions. I wanted something a bit more risky. We will see how it goes :)
