The reappropriation of the Buc-ees beaver is similar to the reappropriation of Mickey Mouse by punks in the 70’s.
Nothing says 'Muricah more than Buc-ees (and maybe us flag bathing shorts). It is a mecca for meat, oversized sodas and snacks, petrol consumption, and nice toilets to shit all the garbage you’ve consumed.
An .ml account in the Fediverse sporting the ultimate symbol of American consumerism is exactly what I’m going for.

I want to go to there.

I’d hate to break this to you, but the cyberpunk dystopian capitalist hellscape is in its infancy. It’s barely learning to crawl yet.
Enjoy the next thousand years or so… if you can…

I hate to break it to you but cyberpunk is a critique of today’s world. Tomorrow can always get much worse.

Today’s world is a toe dipped in the lake of cyberpunk critique.
Transhumanism is, for the most part, still a crackpot fringe theory. Most of us aren’t brainchipped, and there are still recognizable human interactions on the web.

To be fair, I don’t see anyone not even more evil than Epstein over there, ruling the world. And unless you rule the world, the worst of us eventually will. So being VERY transhuman, might actually be the only way to win.

For those wondering what typically defines the cyberpunk literary genre, its key elements include:
High-tech, low-life scenarios: Advanced technology, such as cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, is prevalent, but it exists alongside widespread societal breakdown and poverty.
Dystopian future:
The settings are typically bleak and oppressive, often dominated by powerful corporations or decentralized, corrupt power structures.
Impact of technology on humanity:
Cyberpunk explores how technology shapes society, culture, and individual identity .
Antiheroes and rebellion:
Characters are often morally ambiguous rebels fighting against oppressive systems.

For high tech-low life, there are some homeless out there with cellphones and laptops, charging them with solar powered chargers.
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A smartphone is one of the better investments for a homeless person, because the web allows finding help and resources.

I wish there was a choice…
Alloi@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
theres always a choice, it just depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice for it.

Enjoy the next thousand years? Are you immortal? Do you think everyone else is immortal too?

I have no mouth and I must eat icecream
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I forgot what this conversation is about and I don’t feel like backtracking. All I know now is that end-stage ligma is a mouth-less person who’s craving ice cream.

I can’t speak for everybody, but I remember when the first continents were formed from geothermal vaults at the bottom of the ocean.
Or maybe that was just a mushroom trip. Either way, the dystopia has only just begun. Stop being pedantic.

I’m planning on living forever, and it’s working quite well so far.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
By golly you’re right. You’ve been alive ever since you were born, with no death interruptions. You’ve cracked the code for immortality.
