Curious if this is from a game? I tried to do an image search and the AI says it's just some AI art and not from anything but I had those half life 2 vibes.

I guess there’s some solace or hope to be found in the fact that all the previous predictions weren’t accurate?

If the rich end up in doomsday bunkers while the rest of us have to deal with the shit world they ruined for the rest of us, we better make it our mission to... plug any holes we find, if you know what I mean. Not suggesting violence that could get me banned or whatever, just make sure that the outside air don't get in. Public service.

They will quickly perish in those stupid bunkers anyway. They have no valuable practical skills, and are total assholes. Stuck in a small, closed system, with tons of ordinary people keeping the things running, and with their own greedy "loyal" lackeys... And if they leave the people out, they will die even faster, as things start to fail without skillful mainteinance.

this is Lemmy, nobody cares.

when the Apocalypse happens, and all the rich Nazis go down into their bunkers I'm going to become Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown from The Dirty Dozen. I'll pour gasoline down the air vents and then start chucking grenades down them.

killing Nazis is hard work, but it's honest work.

All of them are dystopias

Change my mind

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, where are the trees? The third one just looks like cities surrounded by endless manicured lawn, what a horribly twisted perversion of idealized nature.

On looks alone first one has car infrastructure, public infrastructure, healthy amount of artistic marketing and high quality housing.

For current US, from descriptions I see, that's actually utopia. xD

The 2000's future is so unsettling.
