Bitcoin question

Hey everyone,
I sent some bitcoin and it's been a couple hours and the transaction still hasn't been confirmed. It's taken some time before but idk if it's ever taken this long. I did the same process I always do and it's always confirmed but am concerned because it's been a few hours. I use a wallet that doesn't have the ability to adjust the fee so I'm at the mercy of wehateI looked up the unconfirmed transactions on blockchain.com and my hash is not on the list.
Does anyone know what might have happened and what happens if your transaction doesn't get confirmed?

My wallet has the fee built in and it's based on the estimated traffic on the network, or something like that. I can’t change it.

If the transaction fails it will eventually come back to you. Can take a few weeks though.
Blockchain has been shockingly slow and expensive recently, someone's getting rich on this bullshit.

It's probably the U.S. government.

I don't see how Bitcoin is supposed to be the payment system of the future when transactions cost $10 and take hours. This speculative greed fest has lost its way, the objectives of the project have been assimilated by the borg and warped to fit the stock market's rules.

lol you aren't wrong.
BTC is a toy for people that have money to "invest" and a tool for people that want to buy things that some sort of perceived privacy helps with.
I mined BTC years ago, I had 12 computers running 24-7. I had many BTC and gave them away because they were basically value-less at the time. It's turned into a circle jerk for the history books. We've never seen anything like it.
The best part is that the libertarian view is so ridiculously fragile around it. If the U.S. government mines in any appreciable level they can literally cripple the system in seconds. It doesn't have to be the U.S. though, any well invested organization could do it. Its very decentralized nature actually has made it more vulnerable.
