Determining factors in a civilization's 💥 self-destruction include:

The Kardashev scale identifies three critical factors for civilizations:
1. Energy consumption capacity
2. Technological advancement level
3. Interplanetary communication capability

The process: This structure is based on the original Kardashev scale proposal which categorizes civilizations by their energy usage. The three factors represent:
- Type I: Control over all energy resources on a planet
- Type II: Harness energy from a star (e.g., through Dyson spheres)
- Type III: Utilize energy from entire galaxies

Limitation: While the Kardashev scale provides a framework for categorizing technological civilizations, it's a simplified model that doesn't account for various factors like energy efficiency, resource distribution, or non-energy-based indicators of advancement. The scale also assumes energy consumption as the primary metric for civilization development, which may not be universally applicable.

Additional context: Some experts have proposed extending the scale to include Type IV and V civilizations that would harness energy from multiple galaxies and possibly manipulate spacetime itself.

SNAPpy communities that will, likely, soon feel "Brassed Off".

** A "brassed off" community: The film's title refers to the northern English expression "brassed off," meaning angry or fed up. It captures the spirit of the mining communities that felt betrayed and abandoned by the government.
