Additionally half the fish in every aquarium would die, along with half of the beneficial bacteria in the aquarium (it converts ammonia from fish waste into nitrates which are less toxic and can be absorbed by
plants). Everybody would be too busy obsessing about the end of the world to remove the dead fish and dose conditioner to detoxify the ammonia, so the fish would rot, causing ammonia to build up even more. Even in a well-established aquarium, the ammonia would quickly become too much for the remaining bacteria to handle (even if they somehow did manage to convert all of it into nitrates only half of the plants would be left to absorb it) and the fish would all die from ammonia poisoning within a few days. This would likely cause species like fancy guppies, fancy goldfish and axolotls to go extinct. To commemorate this, Minecraft would make the blue axolotl twice as hard to obtain, and all Minecrafters would go ballistic and
travel to Sweden to protest in front of Mojang's headquarters. This sudden influx of people (there would be 100 million active Minecraft players left, which is 20% of Sweden's remaining population) would cause a
food crisis in Sweden. Spotify, which is based in Sweden, would stop working because all the developers would be too busy looking for food to keep the app active. Everybody using Spotify (120 million people) would migrate to YouTube. So many new YouTube accounts being created all at once would cause YouTube to crash. All YouTube users, plus all the former Spotify users (altogether roughly a billion people) would go to TikTok, which would also crash. One by one, biggest to smallest, social media sites would crash as insane amounts of people migrated to them. Eventually, the only site left would be TTF. Only
Tolkien fans would use it, since anybody who doesn't know Tolkien would log off in terror at the first mention of
The Silmarillion. That's 72 million people. TTF doesn't crash because the Faerie intervene and keep it running, since they're also Tolkien fans (obviously). Through TTF, a new global hegemony of Tolkien fans is formed. Everybody would be required to read TS, LotR and TH. As it is widely known, reading Tolkien automatically makes you a better person. Everybody would become better versions of themselves, and world peace would be achieved, with everybody speaking
Elvish, farming potatoes, and naming their kids things like Valandil and Eradan and Brytta . Names like these would inspire the future generations to behave like the
kings of
Numenor and
Gondor and
Rohan, and thus the world peace would remain unbroken until the end of the world.
