By this point it’s pretty clear that we’re going to remember 2016 as a pretty seminal year in history. Not only did it augur a tectonic shift in the political world, auguring a possible dark future for our planet – also it involved every single celebrity you love dying. Sorry about that.
As it draws to a close, there is a sense that 2016 hasn’t finished throwing its worst at us. The brains trust at Reddit had a crack at a question that’s on all our minds as we pull into December: what the hell does 2016 have left in store for us?

The eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera. While all your favorite actors and musicians are there, so they die first.

Mark Zuckerberg dying from heart complications after that fake news story spread within the last month.

Probably a fire in the Louvre that destroys hundreds of priceless and beloved paintings.

Wake up and it’s actually Jan 1, 2016 and it was all just a bad dream.
realpsych22:
During a recount, widespread vote fraud is discovered, calling into question the validity of results in all 50 states. North Korea successfully detonates a nuclear bomb over Japan and ISIS detonates a dirty nuke in Los Angeles at a Calif-exit protest. Paul McCartney dies. An oil pipeline bursts. Then, a young Bob Newhart wakes up on January 1 and realizes 2016 was all just another weird dream. He drinks coffee while reading a Berenstein Bears book to his kids.

“We misread the Maya calendar, the world ends this year!” followed by a big boom.
classactdynamo:
Donald Trump goes on television, ostensibly to give an address but instead stands up and pulls of his rubber mask and suit, revealing that underneath the disguise is a slightly smaller Donald Trump with even smaller hands. It really wouldn’t change anything. I’m just amused by rubber-mask-pull-off reveals.
Mastermaze:
Vote recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan reveal Clinton actually won by a slim margin. America erupts into sheer chaos, and the dumpster fire that is 2016 goes full nuclear.
skpicky:
George RR Martin dies.
Azramikon:
Trump going to bed Christmas Eve, dreaming of meeting the ghosts of presidents past, present, and yet-to-come, who teach him the importance of living for others and the hollowness of living for money. He then wakes up Christmas morning and realizes he can still turn everything around — becomes a philanthropist, fights for equal rights for all people, and announces a detailed, fully thought-through plan on how to become the champion of the working class.
HeirToPendragon:
The brown note is played from orbit loud enough so that everyone on the planet shits their pants at the exact same time on New Years Eve.
Look, whatever happens now, we know that it is definitely going to be far, far worse than anything listed above. There is no way around it.
