What will happen in Ireland in 2022?

Well, we will have landslides, huge waves, earthquakes, heat waves, droughts and heavy snow. Oh, Dublin will win the football and Limerick will win the throw.

According to Old Moore’s Almanac, all this is true. It is now 258 years old, still gazing at its crystal ball and trying to predict the future.

The annual magazine was founded by Theophilus Moore, a teacher of Latin and Greek. He runs a classical academy in Miltown, Dublin, and is a popular stocking filler during Christmas. , Which includes a large number of forecasts for the future development of Ireland and the rest of the world.

Quite worryingly, it says that there will be a second pandemic that has nothing to do with the first.

It is also worrying that our body will merge with technology to the extent that it becomes part of our biology. Yes, so. At the same time, virtual sex will become very lifelike through new equipment, "making long-distance love a thing."

Unsurprisingly, it predicts that in the next three years, housing prices will rise further, and there will be some political conspiracies, such as the possibility of a female Taoist priest. "She is stepping up preparations to keep her alliance in order," it said.

At the same time, China will face economic difficulties, while Harry and Meghan will face some "marriage crises." It predicts that the Covid passport will become a way of life, and people who do not want to be vaccinated will form their own communities and build brand new towns based on their values.

As more and more people shop online, shopping malls will reinvent themselves, more leisure and entertainment venues, and large retailers have children's trampoline parks in the middle of the stores.

Moneywise, it said that the "blockchain revolution" will happen overnight next year.

The euro will also split into an encrypted branch. Obviously, the entire media channel will be dedicated to encrypted news and the derivative industry that serves cryptocurrency, and will flourish.

Mars settlement will also become an "absolute reality" and is planned to begin next year. Handshakes and kisses will "end as a greeting tradition and never return." What a pity.

"Old Moore's Almanac" editor Nicole Buckler said that the magazine's sales are generally around 57,000 copies.

"Because of its accurate predictions and love for futurism, it has been revived in recent years," she said.

Pointing to the article in this year's edition, she added: "We have some articles about ancient Irish cuisine that have been forgotten by time... We want to revive it. Know what sowans, old curds, slipe, crúibíns, crowberries are. , Haws, fat hen and skirret? You will soon too." You have it, guys.
