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

Now get off my lawn.

Heres the full song parody from futurama on youtube

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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"

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year 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?

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SourGumGum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1 man, 1 food, news, and entertainment

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If woman can survive, they may find

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[–] SourGumGum@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But we live in the 21st century?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

That is correct

[–] red@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 year ago

Futurama came out in 1999

[–] JulieLemming@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (10 children)

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