Yeah, I remember that one. Of course, if PotD wasn't so frequently purged, it wouldn't have to be just a memory, and I could link it.
The conclusion was basically that overpopulation is real and if some disease came along and killed off a small but significant percentage of the population, what would be gained would outweigh what was lost. It's pretty interesting to think about how COVID-19, something of a stealth bug being able to transmit symptomatically for a time, is almost a perfect way to make that happen.

I actually meant the internet in general. Didn't know PotD actually discussed it.

But damn. When we were anticipating how bad 2020 was going to be, worldwide pandemic didn't even cross my mind. This year definitely went "hold my beer" on the past few ones.
