Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: In the Soviet Union, they considered being against the state a mental illness and would lock you up for the crime of being mentally illEnglish
21·6 days agoNo you’re supposed to read this and be furious!
Not read this and think “how would a monopoly on eggs in preindustrial China exist, this story smells of bullshit”
That’s the good ending. Bad ending is it works and the dictators of the world crush everyone else, tantalizing just enough people with the immortality carrot to make the system eternal.

16·6 days agoHow does one have a monopoly on eggs in a non-hypetindustrial country? Did grandpa invent the chicken and visit every village and start renting out hens XD
Yes, there are people who believe we will find a way to transcend death via technology. I personally think a world ruled by immortal omniwealthy methusalas that will never let even death release their boot from the necks of the common man is a bad thing, but…
We were meant to subsist off of grubs, berries, and whatever your extended family could hunt as we trekked around, dying randomly of infections and bear attacks. Then some fucking asshole started farming and it’s all been downhill since!
It’s funny, just yesterday I looked at RAM prices randomly for the first time in months, thought “wow, that’s high”, and today I see reference after reference after reference about how high it is.
See, this is why he’s in charge of the greatest military the world has ever known. He can multitask! Only the best people!
While post scarcity is excellent and I do believe it is possible in theory, it’s used as a buzzword to handwave away all the dystopian things being pushed.

I spent a good 3 or 4 hours playing instead of sleeping.
Ugh fucking corpos stealing my ideas, I’ve been flinging baggies of dog poo into the sky since 1996.
Fling and forget!
Or you could just download more RAM!
I don’t want a solution, I want to be mad! Ten minutes of searching for a guide a ten year old could follow? Who do you think I am???
Nah, you’re mistaken, making a mislabeled pasta that is mislabeled as pizza is firmly a Chicago thing!
Detroit Deep Dish is an excellent thicc and crunchy crusted cheese-carmelized indulgence born of factory workers, whist Chicago “pizza” is a shit lasagna the domain of disappointed tourists and locals too dense to realize the sauce goes under the cheese!
Chicago gives a dark name to deep dish. In that cursed city, they misname their shitty lasagna so!
That’s more of an Ohio-tier joke, lazily beating a dead horse; but I suppose Bostonians love their history, eh?
