Futurama s6e7 (or just 95) "The Late Philip J Fry".

Now get off my lawn.

Heres the full song parody from futurama on youtube

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It's one of my favorite episodes in the entire series, so definitely do have a look.

I wish I could skip 1000 years ahead. Either we fixed thing or humanity has died out. I win either way.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Or, it's the same, we're living and shit sucks.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.

So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It's all about perspective.

Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape

1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more

1000 years ago we didn't have a surveillance state, climate collapse, tiktok, 4chan, drone strikes, school shootings, car accidents, car dependent infrastructure, pollution smog, microplastics, fox news, subscription services, hiring AI, police robots, the gig economy, leafblowers, overdraft fees, airbnb, overseas concentration camps, white phosphorous, fracking...

Yeah, there's a lot of bad, but he's right. On average, the vast majority of humanity is significantly better off than we were a thousand years ago.

I'm hoping it's like "The Year 2525"

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

What about the year one million and a half? Giraffes might treat us better.

Can I get everything I need from the bottom of a long glass tube?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Yes but everything is shot straight up your ass. Food, news and entertainment. Straight up the ass through a tube.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

1 man, 1 food, news, and entertainment

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

man. tube. food. camera. TV.

Reminds me of the pilot episode. When Fry wakes up in 3000 and says 'everyone I know is dead... YES!!!'

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well, the 2020s so far seem to resemble the 1930s surprisingly closely. So if we haven't destroy us by then, chances are things won't be that different.

Can you elaborate your win when humanity died out and you are the only one left?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't have to get permission to live, fishing regulations no longer apply so it shouldn't be too hard getting food. Also the sea and rivers won't be polluted like they are now.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or everything is polluted and that’s why humanity died

Are the fish adapted to a mercury rich environment safe to eat?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Mercury bears love them. You not so much.

How do you recognize a slave? There is no need for chains to make people work against their will.

Whoever dreads monday morning doesn't have to be worried about slavery anymore.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

But we live in the 21st century?

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

That is correct

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Futurama came out in 1999

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

You only enslave yourself by learning to do absolutely nothing against what you see as oppressive.
