people simping for social media celebrities… although poors always simp for “one of them making it”
Moral values. Some of the things I was taught were good in the 80s are now seen as evil and vice versa. I don’t think it’s the only time that’ll happen.
Which things for example? I’m curious…

Hopefully it’ll become remembered as the McCarthyism of its day.
MAGA is from the 2010s
And it’s still here in the 2020s.
Or the 1880s.

Maga
This. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, etc will never go away, but hopefully it will go back to being something that is shunned instead of promoted
until the ruling class need something elseto distract us
pretty much. people think these things are promoted for no reason, or for votes alone when in truth its a powerful distraction and division tool.

Maybe. The US would have to first begin to feel actual shame about colonization and slavery though, which hasn’t really begun in earnest.
I don’t know if the US has the capacity for feeling the weight of its true guilt.
Please remember that the opponents of trump/MAGA are currently enacting their own Holocaust.
eighty years later, in Germany is still trying to live down their shame
Yet, it seems many Germans are prepared to go down that same road with the AfD.
:|
well except all the Nazis in Germany that were brought directly back into:
- Official posts within the federal government and its ministerial cabinets
- into the upper judiciary and magistrates
- into local governance
- elevated and hired into immense wealth in industry and finance, or just kept where they already were in industry and finance
- hired into forming the Nazi core of the West German intelligence and secret police agencies under the protective auspices) of the OSS/CIA; who made extensive use of their networks of executioners and collaborators to prop up US-backed dictatorships and cartels and use as anti-communist stay-behind guerilla terrorists by the CIA and NATO (and brought into the CIA and FBI themselves, and into MI6 and Mossad)
- into academia and universities as faculty and professors,
- to write western history books at the behest and with support of the US Army and OSS/CIA to sanitize themselves
- all those hired into NATO and into the EU
- into positions of power in West Germany (and all the NATO countries once gladio had purged the communists) in such saturation and such impunity that it caused the formation of left wing militant groups that would assassinate and kidnap them.
but other than all of that though!
(And that’s not even mentioning the Nazis and collaborators which made up the origins of Radio Free Europe/Liberty, the “Victims of Communism Foundation” which grew out of the fascist-filled anti-Soviet “Captive Nations Lobby” headed by OUN-B Nazis from Ukraine, and all the Operation Aerodynamic, Operation Paperclip, Operation Sunrise, Operation Beladonna, Operation Lynx, etc etc.)
Half of Germany doesn’t think it was that bad and wants to repeat it. Or has at least nothing against a repeat
uhh, most of germany yeah.
Crypto whatever (coin, token, nft)
Social media
Internet as a whole (you can always dig a hole further down)
“You are not a worker, you are an entrepreneurial partner!” Type of corporate bullshit
Electric vehicles (mostly due to faulty batteries, but also because they don’t fix the problem of shitty car focused city design)
EVs are fine, but there will be a wake call when the cheap, Chinese BMSes on them start failing.
Even in a future where we fix car dependency, electric vehicles will still exist as busses, trains, emergency vehicles, ebikes etc.
Everything, considering we’ll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today’s life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.
I don’t have kids of my own, and don’t plan to. I often wonder what kind of world my sisters children will grow up in.
I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I’m currently pretty much infertile.
the future is not set in stone. Our weather predictive models are finding it harder to predict, given the high variability and uncertainty. Her kids might actually be fine.
I hope they are. I just don’t trust corporations/governments to take the major and expensive steps required before it’s too late, and I have a hard time seeing past that. Individuals can only do so much.
Corporations/governments didn’t take the major steps required. It is already too late.
AI, also known as Assumed Intelligence
Either it will get incredibly better, or it will just fade out (except in some applications like execution of process based work, and possibly in the creative arts).
it’ll absolutely fade to the background - AI is phenomenal, but you should never know it exists… it should simply reduce human work by ruling out obvious issues, and at that job it does incredibly well
assuming AI is flawless is where our problems arise

Milk.
me…
Fast fashion. At least I hope it does? It’s such a wasteful abomination that we don’t need right now.
Fast fashion is older that the 2020’s
Ah fair enough. I guess I only learned about it in the 2020s when I read some expose on it and it made me throw up a little bit in my mouth.
I think a lot of the therapy speak we use in casual conversation is going to be embarrassing in hindsight. A lot of it is already verifiably inaccurate, but even the stuff based on real psychology can potentially be disproven as understanding and research methods improve. And people will quietly cringe remembering how they used junk science to justify being a dick in 2024.
I have memories of different therapy words that my divorced parent and others used to disparage their exes in the 1990s. It’s an awful circle. Nobody can just have normal conflict.
Social distancing, and a lot of other covid-related stuff
Haha, yeah, I’m sure diseases will just respect our personal bubbles in the future.
No, but they’ll be doing less damage than when they first came.
Having a truck (I wish…).
Trucks are undeniably useful, but now have become an instrument of ego, and a status symbol, hence the stupidity of modern pickups. Hopefully they close the loophole of “light trucks” so these things don’t have to be so recklessly dangerous, same with SUVs.
Giving a shit about public health.
Irony poisoning
