Ocean tsunami on coastal areas
The climate changes following after that
How society struggles, changes, and adapts to this f*ckd up situation. From both sides.
Maan, I feel you. With all the ads that get shoved to our eyeballs, looking forward to the options.
However, need I remind you that handling yoctabytes of videos uploaded and streaming on a cloud infrastructure is a very, very expensive task (annual operating cost of more than 3 billion dollars) that's few countries GDP combined!
