    I'm fucking stupid, how much does national/international communication shit rely on satellites? Besides GPS how much does this fuck up the rest of us?

      The internet uses undersea cables, if that's what you're worried about.

          They have to wrap them in a tough wire mesh now, because for some reason sharks find them really interesting (and sharks interact with all things by biting).

              Sharks might have an ulterior motive for telling us to go outside, not sure I'd trust them on that one.

          It'll still fuck up a lot though. Lots of remote communication, broadcast media, science. And the US military will be significantly degraded.
