PREDICTION, DATA PATTERN ONLY: 9 years (10 billion) (2041) [CRITICAL MASS]
PREDICTION, DATA PATTERN ONLY: 8 years (11 billion) (2049) [TOO OVERPOPULATED TO SURVIVE, 2042-2044+]

These predictions are based on the data pattern only. There are other factors that can have an affect this as well (environment, resources, famine, fertility rate, sex education, war, genocide, extinction, economy) they are much harder to predict in the big picture.

Again, everything regarding doomsday seems to point towards 2050 CE (the date in which most endgame scenarios will happen by) that hasn't changed in over a decade.

I don't stand by any of these predictions. Also, it is 2026, and we are already past 8.3 billion (over 0.3 billion in less than 4.0 years) despite the 20+ ongoing wars, global resource issues, dropping fertility rate, environmental disaster, and damaged world economy. Additionally, the GIF I used here took a while to perfect. I started with a 142 second, 480p, 12 megabyte video file, but couldn't get the GIF small enough (even when trimming it to 9 seconds, it was originally 23.6 megabytes for the 9 seconds) since Mastodon has a 10 megabyte file limit, and doesn't seem to accept certain mp4 and webm files, I used this, lowering the quality, resolution, and framerate heavily, and ending up with a 4.7 megabyte, 9 second file on the third attempt. I question why the GIF format is still widely used, it is so inefficient. The source is Cyriak - 7 billion.
