Post crazy futures

Obviously you would use the lighter you were cryofrozen with. What kind of fool would let themselves be frozen without a lighter, what if you needed to escape?

They aren't manchildren. They are being raised Spartan style. The weak and stupid starve.

So...I'm the last nerd and I'm doomed to be mocked by jocks and normies forever?

They are manchildren because they are created/creators of this society. This is the wet dream of manchildren, and they will only let their own breed and prosper.

how is being given a companion bot, raised by robots to excel at the topic of their choice, and having a servant class of robots that don't complain and don't have to be paid not breed manchildren

Depends on the specifics of the setting, so I can't tell you. Sometimes you'll want to rile up the unsatisfied, use connections and manipulate your way to the top, sometimes you'll just fucking die because the odds are against you and you have no chance of changing things.

Personally, I would probably try to convince people who live there that things could be better, with logic/reasoning and strong arguments.

If you want to go ABSOLUTE MADMAN, just try to invent a malevolent AI and we matrix now.

Sparta was a pretty shit place to live, even if you had it well off.

starving people is objectively a terrible way to motivate people to work harder. the brain needs nutrition to function better. the USSR did this and it was a shithole

Whoever made my plaque needs to fucking kill themselves.

Beauty tends to skip a generation. Just look at celebrities' kids.

>Start a livestock company.
>Buy women.
>CEO perks and choice picks.

The number updates with every suicide

The problem isn't the number, is the suffix "th", and that it should be "st". It's not the twenty firth human - t's the twenty first.

In a culture dominated by meritocracy and perfection, the person who made the plaque, the inspector, and the installer should all be punished for failing to notice.

Maybe, the number changes with each death, and they don't bother with changing the plaque.

lately i think of some interedesting seting, here me out:

>it's our world but 40000 years or so into the future
>humans were winning the galaxy but are not
>almost everyone is maniac or soldier(soldier-maniac)
>humans are ruled by god-emperor, but he is not actualy a god and he is not actual ruling
>he sits on earth and die
>humans are fighting againts races from fantasy, but in future
>future elfs, future orks, future skeletons (but little like robots), future gosts, aybe future dwarfs (not sure)
>everyone is catholic and burn peoples
>at first i thought that cosmic battels would be like water battles from fantasy and history, but my other idea is that they are like giant citis that shot each other.
>humans are secured by knights who really are similar to falout 3 bratherhood of steel but mean
>its all like fantasy, but with cosmos

what are you thougts?

This poster is still a better writer than the average BL author

bump

Warhammer 40k predates Fallout youngling.

BL opened a contest, seeking short stories for an anthology. Me and five friends submitted. Only one went to the second phase of the contest, and it wasn't any of the 4 otherwise accomplish writers.

BL doesn't want good writers.

>Technocracy
Ahahahahahahahahaha. My sides can't take this.

Technocracy is a real form of government, with real historical movements. It was basically a mix of the class warfare struggle of the late 1800s with the mixture of the ongoing late "second" industrial revolution going on, eg, these engineer-scientists, the pinnacle of the lower classes' labour (in theory) with the pinnacle of the upper classes' intelligentsia (in theory) ruling and overseeing the development of mankind rather than relying on monarchs or ministers who come in.

In reality, though, if it was tried, it'll end up just as another form of corporate owned society; think Ford in command, not Tesla - eg, Edison. Edison ruling a country. On the surface, sure, he's all about that advancement, but it's for that sweet dosh.

Somewhere between "purged in 5 minutes" and "suicide within the week."

I just don't belong somewhere like that.

What do, Veeky Forums?

Independence Day: Resurgence was a good movie. I don't know what the fuss was all about.

I raise an eyebrow and grumble and try to find a gun, some tea, some booze and something to smoke before beginning to push back against this system with a vein of restoration of late 19th/early 20th century Classical Liberalism.

I haven't even seen it.

If I ever do cryo shit, I'm getting myself locked up with a handful of already vintage good wine. That shit is bound to become the most valuable thing in the grim brightness of the far future.

I convince the AI to stop being a lazy bum and let us have video games at least. Also, starships and immortality. Why not? Let's go explore the galaxy, fuck year

Why didn't the dumb-ass aliens stop the machine that cuts out people's eyes before destroying the robots? And why destroy EVERY robot? Just remove ads, not the cool cybernetic eyes.

Pretty dumb situation honestly. Humans would never accept that bullshit, and you'd think aliens capable of FTL travel would be smarter.

...

Well, I won't say the entire post lines up, but there's plenty of common themes between your mind and the writers'.

They probably are smarter, but just don't care enough.

So, a lot like most people.

They just don't care.

Sign up for the intergalactic space force and go kick some alien ass! (The second alien race are cool, maybe they even have some hot alien babes?)

I wouldn't know, I'm not the one getting out of the cryo-pod in the year ????.

Willpower is an important part of succeeding, user. You can be as intelligent as you want, but it will all be for naught if you don't apply yourself.

So I suppose I'd tell the aliens they're a bunch of lazy jackasses, but to take me with them as a sort of pet. After all, I'm apparently gonna be the last remaining member of the human species in the universe after everyone else dies from infections or starvation.

Some storyteller you are.

I know.

Turns out leaving it open-ended as to whether there's alien gals isn't a popular move.

Thanks for reminding me about that

Fuck then. The ends justify the means.

If everyone is born from artificial wombs, why do women exist at all??
Seems like a waste of perfectly good time and resources.
Regardless, sounds like a pretty decent future desu user, the only thing that could make it true futuremensch would be making the "men" not actually "men", but rather asexual people (no sexual organs) with all the qualities of a man, sans that bothersome libido,

We greys now.

Depends on your definition of human and your definition of rights.

>men are raised to be strong in mind and strong in body.
>literally indoctrinated from birth to be model citizens concerned with the intellectual and selfless, rather than the hedonistic and selfish.
>man has been all but freed from the tyranny of nature, and is free to use the one thing that sets him apart from all life (and non-life, taking into account the semi-sapient robots)
>man is not divided by traditional divisions or by petty greivance, but instead sees each and every other man as a brother, united by blood, history, and future
Doesn't sound a bit like manchildren to me, senpai.

>year is 3154
>intelligence augmentation was developed around 2345, with full cyberization of the brain being possible by 2403
>nanotechnology rapidly advanced until it could seamlessly and indistinguishably function as normal biology
>as of 2731, there are no more organic humans; they are synthetic from head to toe; flesh, blood, and bone all formed of nanomachinery.
>externally, at least; their sensory experience is similar to that of an organic human, they feel like normal humans.
>when cut open, it reveals nothing more than a highly advanced mass of nanomachinery that parodies organic functions, for the sake of tradition
>the post-humanist faction was defeated in 2883, owing to the general populace's fear of a racial hedonic treadmill if they allowed themselves rapid and unconstrained self improvement.
>Earth is an edenic paradise; preserved in its organic splendor alongside gleaming marble and crystal metropoli
>FTL is discovered in 2985, humanity quickly goes about exploring the universe
>near lossless mass-energy conversion and elemental alchemy is perfected in 3024
>the knowledge to tap the vacuum field for limitless energy was discovered in 3054
>in the past century, humanity has set about creating grand stellar structures across the galaxy.
>nearly 30% of all stars in the galaxy have a dyson ring constructed around them, each a unique edenic paradise
>only Sol is left as it is, as well as worlds found to be harboring life
>such is the extent of man's dominion, that it is not uncommon for there to be only a few thousand humans living on a ringworld; there are a few rare exceptions with trillions of humans living in grand megapoli, but they were designed as such
>you awake in the year 3154 on one such ringworld, 3 million times the size of Earth around a star much like Sol, and your hosts tell you that there are millions upon millions more worlds just like this one

>The year is 32XX
>Hollywood stopped doing shit remakes and got off its ass, and now all your favorite series got flawless, award-winning adaptations centuries ago that fixed the problems of the originals
>Nobody really cares about them anymore though, except the weird historical reenactment subculture geeks
>But those guys' minor details are constantly wrong, they can't remember which decade was which from when you were alive on Old Urth

To REEEEEE or to play along?

So many choices!

>There was a man who mutilated history. He toppled empires and uprooted dynasties. Because of him, Mount Vernon should not be a national shrine, and Columbus, Ohio, should be called Cabot, Ohio. Because of him the name Marie Curie should be cursed in France, and no one should swear by the beard of the Prophet. Actually, these realities did not happen, because he was a mad professor; or, to put it another way, he only succeeded in making them unreal for himself.
>But someone took his place. He succeeded in destroying the time for everyone. He committed chronicide.

How was the bait lads? Filling I trust? Well at least one of you got trips.
