They will send you pizza full of glass

What country are you in?

- USAyyyyy

You own nothing and be happy, so shut up peasant

50

And they tell in communism you will own nothing, but in fact you already own nothing.

30
- For fucks sake!
  
  4
Capitalism but you own nothing like in communism

16
- So we're all happy?

Exploring space via all the cool science, sci-fi movies and games is good enough. Also, tripping balls.

24

You don't even want to know how good future drugs are.

22
- I want Mek from the Wayfarer's series. It's basically anti-coffee. A nice hot cut of relaxation. I like to imagine it as drinking a massage

- He who controls the spice controls the universe

- You prefer Can-D or Chew-Z?

Uber eats is so expensive that you literally have to finance Domino's 6.99 each deal.

Old people: “you don’t know how good you’ve got it. All you have to do is pull out your universal spying device and give up you’re personal data and privacy so you can order a pizza. Then you don’t even have to pay for it for weeks later! So much entitlement.”

14
- you're personal data
  
  Maybe I am personal data...

Is that deal still around? Was poking around yesterday and couldn't find it.

5
- Just double checked because it's been around in my region for a long time without fail... Yup.. still there.
  
  6

If there is a future

19

Relax, of course there's a future.

Just not for humanity.

21
- Good thing I am not exactly human

You think we're going to colonize space?! We can't even agree to feed and house the humans here, and not because we lack the resources but because the economy requires scarcity to increase private profit. We can't even agree to stop destroying our only world/fishbowl to continue to profit a relatively small group of sociopaths who already have enough for 50 lifetimes. We can't even agree to stop killing each other over inherited melanin quantity.

We are a solidly type 0 civilization. We're far more likely to keep beating each other to death in the dirt over who gets the most capital until we destroy ourselves. Maybe if we eventually alter our genetics through technologies like CRISPR to weed out our most vile, least social impulses like insatiable selfishness, low intellect, and violence, then maybe those people will be able to stop undermining eachother long enough to establish a significant presence outside this rock.

But then we'll no longer be human, which I'm more than fine with because we're trash but most humans seem to think we're worth a damn despite 10,000 years of recorded history proving otherwise.

You want a space faring potential? Try Alpha Centauri. Want fart jokes, snake oil con artists, and murder over ignorant superstition and sociopathic greed? Yeah, you found the right place. Wanna buy a gun?

I have a metal cup on my desk. This cup used to be a rock. Humans took that rock, and placed it into an environment specifically tailored to remove just the molecules we want from it. It was melted, using temperatures far exceeding what a human could survive. It was formed into a sheet, then pressed into shape, using tools specifically crafted for that one purpose. It was painted with a compound not naturally found anywhere on earth, because someone thought it should be green. It was packaged in organic compounds carefully formulated and shaped through hundreds of processes to ensure it couldn't be damaged on its trip to the other side of the planet. All of this for a cup. Why? Because it's slightly more comfortable to drink out of. A problem that wouldn't even register with any other living thing, solved with efforts far beyond their capabilities. And that is our closest competitor.

Humanity has accomplished more in the last hundred years, hell even the last ten, than anything else on earth (or beyond, for all we know) ever has. Yeah, war, greed, and racism are a thing, but it hasn't stopped us before, and won't stop us now. You are comparing real people to some idealized fantasy. A fantasy that only seems attainable because of what we have already accomplished, not in spite of it.

We only aspire to do better because we know what we are capable of.

16
- Sure, that sounds pretty impressive, but without another sentient civilization to compare to, how do we know we're really doing all that great?
  
  We might be the special education class in the universe.

Bezos is estimated to be worth $150 billion. With a lavish lifestyle spending $500 thousand a year, and a life expectancy of 85, he theoretically has enough for 3529.4 lifetimes, or about 23.5 lifetimes per billion. Given that rich assholes tend to also be legendarily cheap, this is likely a conservative estimate for the number of lifetimes. On the average income in the USA of $63,214, that would be 186.1 lifetimes per billion, or at the median income of $44,225 it would be 266 lifetimes per billion. So every billionaire has enough wealth to support hundreds of people for their entire lives, from birth to death. An unfathomable amount of money.

Well they're going to leave the unfed and unhoused behind, obvi

Sounds like you're hungry. Go finance a pizza

"regulatory capture"

Rest easy. We are unlikely to ever explore space, and even if we do, it wouldn't be anything like what science fiction is portraying.

14

We are exploring space, just with robots instead of people, sending robots is cheaper

9
because it would be fierce, fancy and frisky Embrace FALGSC!

Fuck capitalism and useless goverments

13

financing a pizza was the last straw

2

With the explosion of tech currently, and where we are with anti aging tech, theres a non zero chance we might not have been born too soon to explore space

12

… assuming you can afford it.

14
- Originally we wont be, but as it becomes older tech it'll likely become available to us
  
  Edit: Lmao, a bunch of you WANT our future to be shit it seems. Whatever floats your goat I guess

Did I miss something?

- No

- I dont have any specific articles to link, but over the last few years I've seen a articles here and there about research that's showing promise in not necessarily extending our lives, but making more of the last few years of them more enjoyable and useful. So thats what influenced the anti aging tech part of my comment, the technology explosion part? The tech I am using right now (My cellphone) is functionally magic to even my 10 year old self. I have adopted family on the opposite end of the planet, that doesnt speak the same language as me, and yet I can effectively communicate with them within seconds using a device connected to nothing

Dominoes, ouch. Marcos yes, what is the interest rate?

"My preferred megacorp is superior to your preferred megacorp!" Hail megacorp!

4
- I only worship mega corps that make a decent pizza.

I need a company that combines Marcos pizza, Pizza Huts cheese sticks, and Dominos loaded tots

Just steal it at that point.
