Only 482 more years until Idiocracy. Should be great.
So, I'm not supposed to be eating people? I thought eating bigger brains improved my intellect.

I had questionable take out last night 🤔
That's optimistic that Idiocracy will take that long
Next US election will be the first sign if otd sooner or later
Soylwnt green and children of men looking more likely than anything
Warhammer is even further in the future, ~40,000AD, vs ~26,000AD for Dune
And then there is "The End of Eternity" and "Death's End" which is about year 700,000+ and some indeterminate billions of years later respectively. Things get arbitrary very fast when you get to those absurdly distant futures.
Yes absolutely. I think the remembrance of Earth's past trilogy (the first one is the three body problem) goes all the way to just before the heat death of the universe.
Edit: wait, that's the one you're taking about sorry
Children of Men is actually pretty spot on in terms of matching the real world
We finally watched Soylent Green the other night. Nobody told me it was a neo-traditional Noir movie with a Gumshoe Detective.
Plus : wait until you hear how it ends.
The novel the movie is loosely based on, Make Room! Make Room!, is great too, and the plot is quite different, so the movie doesn't spoil the book or vice versa. However, it's extremely bleak.

Hmm, this post appeared in my Hot feed on page 2 for some reason even though it's old.
