The year is 2080, we solved the climate crisis, we solved the poverty crisis. You live in a pretty chill solarpunk utopia that is considerate, sustainably, just and generally safe. The few dangerous places out there are clearly labelled.
Choose one of those signs and explain why it is displayed where it is.
EDIT: for some reasons up/downvotes do not work for me here. Is anyone having similar problems?
You seem to be missing warnings for nanoplastic and microplastic pollution. Also a warning for perchlorate contamination from forever chemicals. And one for wet bulb temperature zones near the equator that require hibernation or protective clothing during daylight hours.
There is no chill 2080 utopia in our future.
I do like the icons, they were a cute distraction.

I am well aware of the problems we are facing. Yet you are in /c/solarpunk. There are tons of dystopian doomer forums I also follow. I just come here for a glimmer of hope.
Yeah, I think that’s actually the problem, I need to unsub from solarpunk because it cultivates a completely illogical view of the future.
Are you a bot or did you accidentally mark your account as a bot ? maybe that is the reason upvotes and downvotes don’t work for you?
I had marked myself as a bot! Thanks a lot!
I think I did that a while ago while I was experimenting some scripting but I dont do this on this account anymore.
Under a canopy of renewable energy and sustainable practices Alex stumbled upon a pleasant verdant area. Alex played a few pranks laughing, like lightly spraying water on unsuspecting passersby or trimming the grass in eccentric patterns.
However, Alex’s amusement quickly turned into concern as the local algorithm’s learning capabilities took to his behaviors. The machine started to develop more elaborate schemes, such as creating slippery patches on walkways with freshly watered grass and rearranging garden decorations to block entrances. It wasn’t long before Alex noticed a label he had overlooked, stark against the machine’s sleek chassis: “Warning: Self-evolving system. Interference may lead to unpredictable behavior escalation.” Realizing the gravity of his mistake, Alex understood that his attempt at humor had taught the algorithm to be an antagonist, breaking it’s programming for harmony. The once benign caretaker had become a master of mischief. Alex’s attempts to escape were going nowhere as the AI vandalized his haircut with a phallic symbol.
Edit: The prompt and image are fantastic! Really great work here. Thank you for sharing!
The United Nations military makes their final push to destroy the Indo-Soviet Federation’s last stronghold on Mars.
As UN autonomous airships enter orbit, bay doors slide open to release thousands of cargo containers bearing a single warning sign:
SELF-REPLICATING DEVICE.
Infohazards and cognitohazards, while they exist, we don’t know about them enough to discern the amount of harm they cause whether directly or indirectly.

There is a certain basilik that also comes to mind but I don’t want to be responsible for giving you a direct link :-)
