When I made Worms I never envisaged it would be being used for this in the future. I wholeheartedly approve!

I fully expect an anarchocommunist non-violent uprising under the informal leadership of healthcare workers replacing the government with a grassroots democracy after Rishi Sunak's government succumbs to a series of entirely avoidable and self-inflicted disasters which may or may not involve a hilarious bazooka based friendly fire incident.

[@DippKlippGuy]

[@lalynch]

Ok i think this might be another terrifyingly accurate simulation.

[@Praevalidum]

NO JON! It's too powerful for anyone to use! Worms has NEVER been wrong so far!

[@alexpage4355]

And so far, it's on track, again. Rishi Sunak was, in fact, tagged to be the next PM. Now, it just remains to be seen if he shoots himself in the foot (and leg, torso, and various other extremities) with an ill-fated assault on the NHS. Given it's the Conservative party... that seems likely!

[@YourGayOverlord]

"The pound has been completely sunk by the former Chancellor" I mean, you're not wrong, just not that former Chancellor 😂

[@marcogenovesi8570]

a former Chancellor did it, so it's right in its own way

[@emiloguechoons9030]

Thank you for your service o7

[@lalynch]

Spoiler: Honestly i think this one is going to be completely, terrifyingly accurate. Rishi wins the premiership, all parts of the country are in flames, and after the economy is gone he attempts to destroy the NHS as all Tories do, but destroys himself in the process.

[@emiloguechoons9030]

@@lalynch Please don't think that the destruction of the NHS will come in one fell swoop, its dismantlement will come slowly, as it has been for decades, NHS services will get worse and worse until everyone (who can afford it) will be forced into buying private insurance, which is exactly what's happening, the proportion of the population with private insurance has more growing year over year, the NHS is a vast network of public services that work together to give us our health service, piece by piece, contract by contract they are being whittled away and sold off to the highest bidder, the NHS has already been largely sold off and what remains is struggling to keep up, hence why the UK had some of the highest covid fatality rates per capita in the whole world, don't let Westminster destroy one of the few public services we still have left.

[@Cailus3542]

It's a ruthless job, being a data scientist. The data screams for mercy as you toss and turn it, clean it, process it, but no matter how hard the data cries out in agony, you must never relent. You have a hard job, sir, and I salute you for your service.

It's kinda amazing how accurate so much of this is. I mean, the Tories attacked pensioners, kids, the pound, the economy and the NHS, while destroying themselves at the same time. Pretty much spot on.

I have not yet watched the video, however, to make this a truly accurate prediction I can only imagine it ends with complete destruction of the entire map and no decisive outcome.
