Y2K actually was a legit threat - for Windows machines. The time issue only affected Windows, as other operating systems like Unix and Mac used other ways to measure time. Therefore the only threat was towards computers using Windows and not like... Airplanes. And yes, Y2K-bug would have happened if it weren't for Microsoft nerds working incessantly on fixing it long before the year 2000. Now, what's currently interesting is the threat of the Epochalypse - the similar time issue but this time with Unix and its Epoch time measuring. Unix and Unixbased systems are used everywhere even though you rarely see them. Industrial controls, servers, your phone, computer (if you don't use Windows - well, kind of, since the C programming language measures time in Epoch so any software written in C may encounter problems), airplanes... Literally everything and everywhere. It uses a fairly simple way of keeping track of time - counting seconds passed since midnight Januray 1st, 1970. However, it can only count 2^32 seconds before running out of memory. That's a really high number but not infinite. The final second will be reached at 03:14:07 UTC January 19th, year 2038. There are some minor fixes but nothing that can fundamentally solve the issue yet. But if the Epochalypse happen it will be all what Y2K wanted to be. But don't worry, internet will go down (majority of servers are not windows after all), so it's not all downsides. And yes. the creators of the shitty Epoch time measurement knew of this problem when they created it back in the 70's. But they figured Unix would long be replaced by something else by then but uh... Unix became this really big deal and a fundamental cornerstone of computing

Y2K is an interesting case because it's one where the truth is actually very nuanced and few people seem to know how it actually went down. The truth is that computer systems _did_ have problems that could have been caused by the year switching from 99 to 0. Probably not "planes fall out of the sky" or "nuclear plant explodes" bad, but definitely on the level of potentially "entire company needs to stop operating for a few days while figuring out what's wrong and how to fix it". That is, if nothing is done about it in time. While conspiracy nuts were bunkering up in their cellars, computer programmers knew exactly how to fix these systems. It's not exactly a difficult problem to fix if you just know that it needs to be fixed. So during the years leading up to 2000, basically all the computer systems got quickly fixed to handle the new year numbers. Crisis averted , because while it _could_ have had big consequences, fixing it was also pretty simple in the end. And now, 20 years later, you get smug Reddit comments going on about how Y2K was never a problem and everyone who thought it was must have been dumb. I guess it really is unthinkable that humanity could discover an impending threat and manage to deal with it _before_ it explodes in our faces.

This is actually untrue. Yes, computer engineers spent years preparing for Y2K, but there were thousands of systems they didn’t have time to fix. And did they have issues when January 1st, 2000 rolled around? Not really. Some had incredibly mild bugs, a few vending machines stopped working. But by and large Y2K bugs were completely benign. This is evidenced by the fact that, opposed to the 2 billion the US spent, Russia and Korea did almost nothin to prepare for Y2K and didn’t experience any significant issues. This left IT companies and politicians with little choice but to harp on about how Y2K was a great achievement in disaster aversion, because admitting they had spent billions of dollars fighting windmills was career suicide. And now 20 years later you get smug KZitem comments about how Y2K was actually real and how anybody that doesn’t know that is an idiot.

As an IT person who worked patching shit for Y2K I found the doom of the time weird. Yeah there was a problem that could cause issues that's why we were screaming a management for years leading up for budgets to fix that shit and we all did. Financial systems were well patched in advanced because they were already dealing with calculations in the future. I was confident enough the world wasn't gonna collapse by spending New Years eve at Disneyland and it was an amazing night. I had so many arguments with preppers and doomers at the time that made me shake my head. It is an example of one of those real problems we had to deal with that once we dealt with it people assumed there wasn't a problem because nothing happened. This is the life of an IT person ... nobody notices when you are doing shit right so assume you are doing nothing.

I grew up really poor, so I was taught from a young age to keep a stash whenever I could afford to. We never knew when money gonna seemingly just disappear, or some expense like a house repair or car repair would suck the little we had saved. My mom kept a cupboard dedicated to emergency foods. Things in cans, noodles, freeze dried, and vacuum packed foods. In the basement she always kept a plastic tote with an unopened pack of TP, blankets, some sealed water, and a few other things I can't remember. We never had to use the emergency stash when I was growing up, but I am certain mom was glad to have those things saved now. I know I was sure glad that she taught me those things. She told me she learned those things from her grandma, who grew up in the depression. As an adult I have kept a stash of small things I can afford and find the space for. It's all about using your head and thinking about the future a bit, rather than just the here and now.

The guys above me has it right. Coke was already using corn syrup when New Coke came out.

Most people don’t even realize that Diet Coke is it’s own unique flavor, and isn’t meant to taste like regular Coke at all.

7:30 Y2K was actually a real and very serious problem. It came from bad programing standards basically, when the internal clocks which it uses in part to do all its processes, would zero out because they hadn't programed for the calendar dates to go past that point and the 999 would roll over into a 000 causing errors and potentially crashing all the systems. Worse yet, we didn't exactly know how each machine would respond. My dad was one of the people scrambling to retool the machines to avoid a disaster. Just because nothing happened doesn't mean the panic (in this case) wasn't justified.

I remember the two times I fell into that trap. Wasn’t panic buying but ran out of gas right as a hurricane… was about to hit on the opposite side of the state. My city emptied all the gas stations. And right as Covid hit, my dad ran out of toilet paper and had me try and find some. The insanity of the panic buying was insane

As always, a great video! I was just going to go buy a truckload of toilet paper, but now I understand I’ll need two. Guns are illegal where I live, so maybe I should get my hands on a crossbow or something. Thanks for the advice!

One thing about buying guns: I think it has a lot more to do with people wanting to protect themselves and families rather than kill other people. American gun culture is centered on liberty and self preservation. If you are threatened and there is no one (police) to back you up, then you need to protect yourself. And the best way to do that is through a firearm. Loved the video

Im glad that we have a Bidi shower next to our toilet in every home. So if paper runs out, you can wash yourself instead! Although people still did panic buy the Crap paper shells empty, wich I do not understand at all! They hhad more paper than food, what are they gonna do whit that paper after food runs out? Eat it?

In 2012 in my town a huge blizzard and unseen amounts of snow were announced, and as soon as people saw the forecact they went APESHIT on the panic buying. When blizzard happened, everything was stopped for 2 weeks, and noone could go anywhere because my region isn't used to snow thus they're poorly prepared for it. Regardles, the stores were working and and you could buy just about anything you needed

I agree, but that said, it was quite useful to get your TP and non-perishable food buying out of the way early, so that you didn't have to worry about the shelves being empty when the panic set in. Thankfully, I get my news from the internet and thus had several weeks worth of notice ahead of the TV-informed stampede.

The first thing I thought of when I heard that idiots were hoarding toilet paper was "do they not have running water?" Just wash your fucking ass if you're out of toilet paper. It's arguably 50 times better for the enviornment.

In my town, since there was a flash flood 2 days ago, people have started panic buying bread, milk, fruit and vegetables just in case the shops run out. Of course, clearing the shelves made them run out. I'm starting to get sick of people going into apocalypse mode every time something mildly bad happens.
