Panther Breakout: One Year On - Shorts
On the 31st of March, 2020 at roughly 2 in the morning, in the city of Nortroo, laid the famous Nortroo Zoo, which due to an internal error, a huge group of Black Panthers had escaped and trashed the city killing hundreds. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Ghotya immediately issued a nationwide announcement. This was the story of the now infamous Panther Breakout which killed around 800 and injured more than 7000. 

The Panthers spread and the country was infested. All international trade ceased and all citizens went into hideouts. The United Nations was in panic and launched a global operation to take back Ghotya. But the panthers spread and made its way outwards to nearby Desjolk, the neighbouring country. All countries nearby went into full-scale lockdown. Prime Minister of Ghotya, Mr. Yutave Apoblam was found dead in his bunker. Democracy in Ghotya had collapsed. After more information was collected, it found that roughly 12 panthers escaped and thanks to the infested wilderness, the panthers amounted to 2,500 with roughly 23,000 deaths. In the end, a decision was made by the United States, to detonate a nuclear bomb on Ghotya to stop the further spread of panthers, that plan failed and the panthers resisted. 

The panthers spread and finally, the United Nations got together with 58,000 men and went into full-scale attack mode. But the men were no match for the panthers and were wiped out completely along with $3 Billion in funding. Now with a death toll of 76,000 and with hospitals which were already suffering from a Pandemic, now overwhelmed completely with attacks from Panthers. After 9 months of continued attack, the last of the panthers were rounded up and killed. Ghotya and the neighbouring countries of Desjolk, Abrelfol and Abrelfurht were freed and with deaths amounting to 83,000, civilisation continued along just as it does today.

So how did we never hear about this breakout? That is because we were so focused on a Pandemic that has killed millions. Ghotya had shut down and imposed measures for COVID-19. In total, Ghotya was only brushed by the Pandemic because it clearly had more important things to do. The panther breakout was only prominent in South-west Africa and never spread anywhere else. But the Panther Breakout still left many displaced, killed, injured and stuck in poverty. And yet we believe that everything is real on the news, except this one...







Happy April Fools Day and Happy Reading!!

Sorry this came out a day late...

I hope you enjoyed this fake story. The 2020 Panther Breakout story was suggested by a good friend of mine. The names of people and countries are all loosely based of actual words.

Nortroo = Not True
Ghotya = Got Ya!
Desjolk = The Joke
Mr. Yutave Apoblam = Mr. You Have A Problem
Abrelfol = April Fools
Abrelfurht = April Fools (again)

  Deadvertising Zarm Zam's Blogger (89)     It was the 21st of April 2021 and I was casually scrolling through my Internet Feed when I saw a great injustice done to me...     I grabbed my phone and started to blog this exact article you're reading here. We all know who is Zarm Zam, he has a Opinion Corner but wait... where's he opinion? It's only random history facts only a history nerd like Zarm Zam would bother to read about.      Next up, let's talk about the number of views he has. Now I don't have an exact number but I will predict he has 250 views. Meanwhile on this Opinion Corner with actual Opinions and blog articles that not takes you a minute to read like on his Corner but at least 6 minutes, I have a whopping 2400 views!      Next up, look at the beautiful Arial font I use to write my blog. Then look at Zarm Zam's default font that he uses. With its stupidly sharp edges and curved numeral digits.      Final...

Modern British Declinism (Part 1)

Image
Since World War II, the UK has seen the subsequent decline of their global power status, especially through the lost of their colonies which once made up 25% of the world's landmass. However, over the last 15 years, British Declinism has accelerated greatly thanks largely in part to economic decline, political divisions and internal conflicts resulting in economic deceleration and stalled growth. In this four part series, I will ‘attempt’ to explain how the UK got into this position and what it means for the world.   To provide further clarification, I separate British Declinism into two parts. First is Colonial Declinism which occured from the end of WW2 in 1945 to the Handover of Hong Kong 1997 (a series for another time perhaps?). The other is Modern Declinism (MBD) which traces its origins to the 2008 Great Recession. One metric I will be referencing a lot in this article is that of G7 countries, especially that of France and Germany because of their relative population a...

The Broken Mental Health System

-
The first two paragraphs are an adaptation of an original comment I wrote on the r/Singapore subreddit. I am awfully worried for students like me. In my opinion, the problem with our Mental Health  treatment machine is that those who need proper help fail to get enough of it meanwhile those who need not require help find these measures useless and boring and in some cases, further a adding to the stress students face. Imagine you're a student (or maybe you already are one) and you find yourself suffering from early signs of depression. There are four options for you. Talk to your Form Teacher, a School Counselor, seek Private Help or (unfortunately) give up. We know that students are more unlikely to open up about their mental health than adults (65% of adults do, only 32% of students do) therefore rendering the first two options redundant. Seeking Private Help is also useless since families are either unable to afford such help or choose not to, adopting a 'theres nothing wron...
