I don't know, every time I read a headline with the word "could" in it I'm not interested, because there are no facts in it it's just speculation.

  • If my grandma had wheels, she could have been a bike
  • Aliens could change Trumps hair color
  • Reddit could destroy itself
  • Lemmy could be the greatest thing since sliced bread
  • China could collapse
  • Russia could collapse
  • The US could collapse

the list goes on and on.
