This is already the second meme I’ve seen with that joke, just different examples. Seems like the invasion in the Middle East triggers a whole lot of dejavuing. 🥴
Oh great, so there’s should be an economic collapse and housing crash right around the corner!
Economic collapse? Sure, but for a new housing crisis we don’t have enough home owners… How about a nice cost-of-living crisis instead? Or perhaps the good old rent-rising, salaries-stagnation crisis?
Almost certainly an economic one. Most of our “economy” (stock value, but the media and owners treat this as if it’s the economy) is tied up in just a few companies, and all of those company’s value are most AI. I’m reasonably confident there will be an AI crash, which will tank stock values and everyone with investments in these companies.
I’m not so sure if there will be a housing market collapse.
I keep telling people: if you live in town go outside at like 2 am and fire a couple round into the dirt. Regular gunfire reduces property rates and can be used as leverage to keep rent low.
Please read your local laws before doing this, as discharging a firearm within city limits is a crime in many places.
I have been informed this is a crime. I quite frankly am shocked and appalled at my suggestion. Unfortunately my fingers are cramping quite hard so I don’t know if I’ll be able to remove or edit my post, it’s quite tragic.
I knew your comment was tongue in cheek, I just wanted to add a disclaimer for anyone who thought it was a good suggestion to lower their property taxes.
Coming soon to an economy near you.
Don’t worry housing won’t crash until I buy a place, THEN it will be the best pricing in decades
Please take one for the team, it’s too expensive for me rn
I mean
The writers of Earth have really given up. They kept implying some cool sci fi universe flip but it’s just cyberpunk dystopia with repeating plot lines.
The American plot line didn’t work out. They were not that popular with the main audience and seen as too loud and obnoxious. The story is moving focus to Asia. It was a major influence of cyberpunk after all.
America is the world’s Homer! You can’t kill Homer!
The Simpsons one? Or the Greek?
The Simpsons one, obv
Actually we fired all the creatives and replaced them with a large language model trained primarily on social media posts.
Cyberpunk dystopia without the cool neon aesthetics.
They’re still working on the plot for that, but are feeding us reruns in the meantime.
Operation Ajax remembers
This is the real reason we are where we are.
Also, new Stargate, Pushing Daisies and Firefly are on the horizon.
Stargate!?
Scary Movie 6 is coming out?! You just made my day!
Wait, they made a fifth one?!?
Wait, they made a fourth one?
Sadly, yes.
Wait, they made a third one?
Wait, they made a second one?
Now I wonder what modern horror movies I’ve got to be up on to understand all the references that will inevitably be in the new Scary Movie.
Idk I almost got laid. Which…
Oh. Oh fuck. Oh my fucking fuck. I swear to fucking God.
If, in two weeks time… Good Lord. I might be in a simulation.
The universe used up too many plotlines.
Nothing ever ends.
Our precious American culture of escapism and privilege. ☠️ We literally fund the world’s evilest to have the ability to be evil and pretend we don’t.
Can someone remind me what the original comic is in this meme. Someone recommended it but I can’t remember what it’s called
Watchmen
Thx
