The Earth's oceans reform when melting polar ice leads to a 37-meter increase in global sea level and nearly 2.85 billion casualties. The Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean become the Cariblantic; the Pacific and Indian Oceans become the Pacifidian.

The Antiquated Media Laws are passed.

In 2138, Dr. Hans Oleo and a team of genetic engineers successfully create a human clone of Dr. Oleo. The clone murders Dr. Oleo and most of his team.

Engineering of the lunar biosphere begins. After a protracted bidding war which results in 353 casualties, the engineering contract is awarded to Quad Bionetics of New Sydney, Australia.

Human error leads to a density overflow in mass producer engines being used on the Moon. On Earth, this causes massive tidal waves which lead to more than 450 million casualties. On the Moon, a shift in the lunar rotational axis occurs, causing the polar regions of the moon to endure near perennial sunshine.

The Great Famine: traditional food sources become extremely scarce. Many starving humans are forced to sustain themselves on their domesticated animals.

The second incidence of sapient artificial intelligence occurs.

The first successful creation of a human clone that isn't evil, Barry Paxfeld; eugenics-based systems quickly become the primary form of all plant and animal species production on the Earth.

The DrinkPod, a device which converts energy into liquid matter, is invented by molecular engineer Percy von Shiffinerer. The reactor cores on numerous DrinkPods malfunction, leading to approximately 2 million casualties and the quarantining of the city of Helsinki until 3550.

The Odormeter is invented by an unknown engineer working for Har-D-Har Labs, a manufacturer of practical joke materials. Har-D-Har Labs recalls all Odormeters and discontinues the product after it causes nearly 4000 asphyxiation deaths.

An independent research and development robot named Kelvin-88 reverse engineers an Odormeter, transforming it into an intake device. Coupled with olfactory sensors so powerful that they can even smell fear, the odormeter becomes the de facto in local emission detection.

A brutal war between clashing factions in the Middle East is resolved when the Council for a New Tomorrow rules that rightful land claims would be decided by way of the game show "Spot The Whore!".

The robot Pinel-5 creates emoticonvention, a system of psychiatric treatment. It is fully endorsed by the Council for a New Tomorrow and put into practice approximately 8 nanoseconds after its conception.

The XP-18 Vid-Pod is released to incredible hype; its initial success is in large part due to the fact that it is packaged in multiple colors and comes included with a cute but legally non-binding ownership certificate.

Certifichips are made mandatory for any robots, humans or devices operating in any field of science.

The Journal of Ontological Bioscience publishes Dr. Jonas Voight-Schnapp's seminal study, “Humans Are Not As Schmart As They Think They Are, Therefore Humans Are Schtupid.”

Siegfried Heimlich, one of the world’s foremost mechanical engineers, mysteriously disappears; a series of technically savvy clones are created based upon his DNA.
