What futuristic work of fiction is humanity closest to becoming?

Jump

  • The Water Knife by Paolo Baccigalupi is pretty on the nose for the near future of the southern US

    • Fantasy books with an interesting "soft magic" system?

    Jump

  • And it’s also fantastic

    • Isn’t it tho

    Jump

  • Crowbocop

    • Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia

    Jump

  • But much, much funnier if you pull it off

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Hardly a joke considering that they have a population of 1.4m. That’s a medium-sized city…

    • Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia

    Jump

  • Drone-deployed anvil, for the full looney tunes effect?

    • “And they call ME a weirdo!”

    Jump

    • You have a sudden power outage affecting your entire city/town, how prepared are you, and how long will you "survive" not having electricity?

    Jump

  • Storm Darragh took our power out for a week or so, and towards the end we had to top our batteries up with a genny, as the solar wasn’t quite cutting it with the lack of sun and bad weather. Not too bad though, there’s about 10 of us using the power, though we live a fairly low-impact life

    • Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia

    Jump

  • Nah, too basic and low-tech. He deserves nothing less than a drone strike

    • End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool

    Jump

  • I listen to Radio Fip from France, that’s pretty fantastic

    • End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool

    Jump

  • It’s really, really hard to get a licence to broadcast in the uk, so there’s really very few radio stations that reflect modern music tastes outside of large city centres

    • What advice have you heard or tried that was just flat-out wrong?

    Jump

  • Chips always lie

    • At least five killed in shootings around French migrant camp

    Jump

  • They’re not poor people, they’re immigrants and all that entails. When I worked in the can in Calais, the fast would turn up and start fights and abuse people, and the police just watched. It’s not a great environment round there

    • Dominican Republic officials seize record-setting amount of cocaine, found hidden in bananas

    Jump

  • Disappointing image, no standard scale reference

    • Swiss government rejects proposed super-rich inheritance tax

    Jump

  • Not even a little Nazi gold tax?

    • Company behind Mammoth (Mastodon client), moth.social (mastodon instance) and sub.club (crowdfunding for the Fediverse) shutting down its projects.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I really enjoy Mastodon, this news sucks. Got any recommendations on what I might replace it with for iOS?

    • Troubleshooting

    Jump

  • P.I.C.N.I.C.

    • I know my purpose

    Jump

  • Make a nice safe and fabulous space for everyone to scream “aaaaah fuck, there’s a giant skeleton!”

    • 0% charge

    Jump

  • Pretty much the topic of Blind Boy’s latest podcast, and I can wholeheartedly say that it’s on off feeling to be quite so empathetically called out twice in as many days

    • Brand new ChatGPT Pro o1 reasoning model asked: "What are the most impactful yet achievable actions humanity can take in the next decade to ensure global stability and sustainable development?"

    Jump

  • It forgot “carry on with the shooting of morally bankrupt CEOs”, but I suppose you can’t blame it for not being bang up to date
