	The '''Slave 1000 problem''' ('''S1K''') is the potential for sproke-outs related to the formatting and storage of [[Slave]] data used for Slave number generation at and over #1000. By design, the Slave numbering system can represent up to three digits, with double and single digit numbers being prefixed with leading zeros. Slave numbering system's inability to accommodate for four-digit Slave numbers correctly has the potential to bring down worldwide infrastructures and cause mass riots.

The '''Slave 1000 problem''' ('''S1K''') is the potential for sproke-outs related to the formatting and storage of [[Slave]] data used for Slave number generation at and over #1000. By design, the Slave numbering system can represent up to three digits, with double and single digit numbers being prefixed with leading zeros. Slave numbering system's inability to accommodate for four-digit Slave numbers correctly has the potential to bring down worldwide infrastructures and cause mass riots.

In the years leading up to the first four-digit Slave, the public gradually became aware of the "S1K scare", and the [[WWO]] predicted the global damage caused by the flaw would require anything between $60 billion and $600 billion to rectify. Some skeptics argue that the more accurate estimate is at most $271k. A lack of clarity regarding the potential dangers of the flaw led some to stock up on food, water, and firearms, purchase backup generators, and hoard large sums of gems in anticipation of a computer-induced apocalypse.
