20 years ago was 2003... any idea what was socially acceptable then that isn't now?

Not much, really. 20 years isn't a lot of time.

Think 50 years, or 100 years.

Hopefully, racism.

In 10 years

  • Selling high strength magnets without regulation
  • Petroleum cars

In 100 years?

  • Eating meat
  • Natural gas stoves
  • Oil/Natural gas furnaces
  • Anonymous online communities
  • Not wearing a sort of body-camera in most professions

In 1000 years?

  • Religion, mysticism, paranormal beliefs
  • An inversion of religious moralism, I think things that are thought of as evil will have to become the norm, genetic modification, cloning, etc.
  • Eating food in general

This sounds like a solid +6°C plan if it takes 100 years

It's all a devious plan by the canadians so they can have warmer beaches

May not be widely accepted, but it is accepted in a good chunk of the world.

  • Being a Bigot
  • Being Racist
  • Being Sexist

I was just thinking about it actually - I feel like it's going to be the sheer amount of caffeine we ingest, or caffeine at all.

which reminds me, I need a coffee!

Hopefully tipping.

Consuming animal products

Killing for pleasure.

You say that's already not acceptable? But I was talking about non-human animals and taste pleasure.
