wtf would peeps on a generation ship even DO aside from living and breathing and loving?

if you let them know wtf is going on the next generation would be pretty pissed off at their parents

but if its like "whoah the universe is 12 miles long, cylindircal" and they are like, farming with cows

aliens would be like 0_0 if they encountered these ships which i think is hilarious

there are a bunch of neat novels and short stories based on life on generation ships, like what happens if one of the middle generations whose only purpose is to reproduce and die thinks that's stupid and fucks the whole thing up? or the trip is so long that people forget what their mission is and knowledge is lost to the degree they think their whole universe is actually just their ship and they wouldn't know what to do on arrival anyway? getting people together for any kind of collective mission is always gonna go bad

Initial impressions of The Expanse: Naomi is insanely hot.

best thing about The Expanse is that the Earth is basically a social democratic paradise, but it's hosed up anyway because it still has to practice imperialism on the outer planets. Berniecrats should take notes.

there's a bit later on where they show what actual living conditions are like for the billions of people living on UBI less than a mile from the shiny UN hall in Manhattan and they are strictly not good
