"CONFIRMED" ~/u/20141220

April 30th 2015 (at 21:50 CDT - May 1st 02:50 GMT) is the day that a solar storm will cause an EMP effect wiping out all modern electricity on planet Earth. In the year 2024, 9 years after the incident, a human known only as /u/20141220 was given the ability to communicate with the past, linearly starting with December 20th 2014. He began to warn redditors about the terrible events that would occur. There is controversy over why he would pick reddit, of all media, to communicate his warnings. But it is obvious that he wanted to go the one place he knew his past self would see it, so he would survive and maintain a stable time loop.

His past self is believed to be RedTheSnapper, but that is not yet confirmed.

/u/20141220 created a subreddit to discuss the future blackout, how to survive it, etc.

Things Speculated to happen Edit

All aircraft will crash land seconds after the blackout begins. Anyone plugged into life support is also doomed right off the bat.

People will see the Northern Lights further south than what's supposed to be normal.

Toilets won't work

Cars made after the 1970s won't work

Spooky Scary Skeletons will be everywhere

Utopia will become the largest survival compound

The Amish, who already have nothing to do with electricity, will take advantage of the crippled country and conquer the continent as an imperial power.

RedTheSnapper will form a survival compound in Seattle. Why he picked there of all places is unknown.

The Button will reach zero (for real this time)

People will blame North Korea

Half Life 3 will be released a minute before the blackout
