This is akin all those hot takes about the 2k bug being an hoax:

"Remember when they told us every computer was going to crash on 1/1/01 and there would be chaos and then nothing happened?"

Yeah, I remember. And I'm sure every programmer and sysadmin that contributed the billion person/hour global effort to prevent it also remembers.

No one talks about acid rain anymore, either. And that's a very good thing.

see also START and START II, which significantly reduced nuclear stockpiles

International cooperation is actually so effective that most people don’t even notice it happening, and then erroneously believe it can’t solve anything.

Fixing issues before they develop into actual disasters is such an underappreciated thing it hurts at all levels.

We don't talk about acid rain because there isn't any more acid rain because when acid rain started happening and we learned that the cause was mainly sulphur oxide and carbon monooxide from car exhausts, countries all over the world made it a law that car companies had to produce cars that produced less exhaust with better effectivenes (burning the fuel all the way to CO2 instead of the halfassed CO) and oil rafineries to remove the sulphur from the gasoline in the first place.

We don't talk about computers crashing because of the turn of the century, because thousands of programmers worked very hard to write updates and patches for Every Single Program humanity as a whole used back in 1999 and then somehow managed to failtest, distribute, and update every single device and system, be it an online or offline one before the midnight of the 1st january of 2000.

On a much smaller scale, no one ever commenta or notices cleaners and housekeepers doing their job - be it at home or at whole buildings - because they always make sure that there's nothing to notice. But don't be fooled - at any point of your life you are one week of them not doing away from swimming in trash and filth with nothing to eat and nothing clean to wear. Only then you would notice.

Now it's time to do that thing again and make sure that we don't kill our whole planetary ecosystem within the next century.

I found your art in like ye olde times, not even sure how, probably speedpaints? Anyway, it’s been really cool to be inspired by you for most of my life. It’s been 12 or so years now of following you religiously and it’s fun to see how your art has changed, but to still see elements of the art you made so long ago. You have always and continue to inspire me, so thank you for all the work you do <3

Much love to you and yours

12 years....... i am aging faster as we speak

thank you it means a lot ;o; these messages make me soft

i remember way back when in the deviantart days you sometimes streamed movies- or at least you did once- and i tuned in to One Stormy Night, and after the stream i sent you a message on DA asking for the name of the movie cus i loved it so much (and i still do!) and i felt SO fucking cool when you actually answered me ksjgkskmg. it was a big deal to me as a young teenager cus i saw you as a celebrity of sorts, it was like that scene in Surf’s Up where Cody is like “out of all the people Big Z couldve gone up to he came up to me” but it was really just that Cody ran straight up to him for attention

aw thanks so much!!!!

Seeing your birthday art made me realise I’ve been following you for about 9-10 years, probably the longest I’ve followed anyone online consistently. I just wanted to drop by to say thank you for sharing your art these past years. You and your work set me on the art path super early as a kid and now I’m turning 21 on wednesday, waiting for my admission emails from art unis I applied to. Your art had the biggest influence on me in my early teens and honestly I can’t be more grateful that you’ve decided to share stuff online. Happy birthday Finch!
