I had a friend way back when who used to joke about having a literal facebook, disembodied faces stitched into a rough approximation of the necronomicon

I feel like that would have been less damaging to people than the website

I don't see what pretending to be a dwarf has to do with the shittiest possible cyberpunk dystopia

Except maybe that society is starting to feel more and more like a game of Dwarf Fortress that's gone on longer than it has any right to and cascade failures are kicking in

I like the Asimov story where a robot gets stuck doing laps around a lake of bullshit because it can't get any closer without dying but it can't leave before fulfilling its mission so it just does circles until some technicians have to brave the horrible Mercury environment to go fetch it

I feel like there's some meaning to be gleaned from this

What if we just start referring to zero emission energy (wind solar hydro nuclear) as "white power." Think we could get a Green New Deal passed before anyone notices?

When you guillotine a smartphone do you cut off the top with the camera or the bottom with the charging port, because the camera is kind of like an eyeball which is the face but the charging port is like a mouth for electrons which is also the face, asking for a friend

I'm sure there's some sort of tap-to-tip thing for paywave or Apple pay or whatever nowadays?

I either saw this in the video in the article or some other article about it but they showed some dude tossing his trumpbucks in a bucket zip-tied to the front of the stage and the performer gave this awesome fistpump. I feel like this has stopped being stripping and has become elaborate titty busking at this point which feels like the first "this isn't too terrible" thing about this entire year

Wikipedia posted:

The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect,[1][2] collisional cascading, or ablation cascade), proposed by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a theoretical scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) due to space pollution is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade in which each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions

Just kidding, he'll kill everyone on the way there when his spaceship suffers explosive decompression.

I actually expect his space ships would wind up with a slow leak somewhere that's hard to find, like a bolt in a corner under some poo poo that wasn't torqued to spec and also wasn't the right size bolt to begin with but it doesn't start leaking until they're like 6 weeks into their journey

alternately, they get into a crash with that car he launched into space in the before-times

I have a poor peoples modular vehicle, an old 4 wheel drive with a trailer hitch

you can even buy expansion modules for it from decrepit farmers on the side of the road if you happen to need a "smells like horse" trailer module

not electric though but electric isn't helpful where I live because the grid is coal powered

Pulcinella posted:

From a few pages ago but I feel you could probably make some kind of horror comedy about ghosts losing their because no one can tell the difference between their home being haunted and their lovely IOT devices working like garbage. There is also probably some joke in there about evil spirits not having anyone to haunt because Millennials can’t afford homes/there haven’t been any vengeful spirits created in twenty years because no can can afford a home to be grizzly murdered in.

I like this for several reasons

one is that it's loving hilarious and shits all over the internet of things nonsense, I don't understand the kind of person who would want a Smalt for example, or one of those phone-tethered juice press machines that squeezes a bag of expensive juice into a glass and costs four hundred dollars after selling all your phone data to advertising companies and gently caress don't get me started on smart thermostats that stop working when the company declares bankruptcy 6 months after you get it installed

the other is that I picture "grizzly murdered" as in a bear kool-aid-mans through my front door and mauls me to death

so food for thought: you're in prison with a comically long sentence, well past your natural life expectancy, and let's say you hosed up real bad so now you're in solitary

you're in year 50 of your sentence and then you just keel over dead one morning, except now the year is 2022 and they are testing brain-fixing-jelly on prisoners because this is hellworld, so you pop back up ready to serve the next 400 years of your sentence

also the brain goo is expensive as hell so that cuts into funds for everything else, so now your cell is slightly darker and your only food is nutraloaf, so now not only do you have several lifetimes worth of boredom to look forward to, the food is bland and it's uncomfortably damp and the light flickers at semi-regular intervals

edit: I need to stop revising my shitposts so many times because six (9) posters beat me to the punch

Why even have food if the prisoner can just be in hungry agony forever?

there's actually been lawsuits saying nutraloaf is cruel and unusual punishment, it seems like for optimizing suffering you'd feed them nutraloaf but not enough to actually stave off hunger entirely, so it both sucks because it sucks and it sucks because you're being food tortured
