2024 is almost done, which means it’s prediction season. Every year, people pontificate about what will and will not happen across media. Predictions are fun because they’re binary; they either age well or terribly, but you still get to speculate. I stumbled upon a video from Nickelodeon recently which, as a 90s baby, was insane to watch.
I thought it could be fun to review a few of the most common misconceptions and fallacies I heard coming into 2024, and how they did (and didn’t) stand up to scrutiny.
