Why is our planet so boring and stupid?
Because billionaires want it to only be interesting and beneficial to themselves and their class.

This. Because billionaires want you to be trapped in that room. They did the streaming service roll-out, after all.

They don’t even want it to be interesting, they want it to be semigloss white, stainless steel and glass. The most interesting thing they can come up with is white mega yachts and Infinity pools. They can’t fathom the mood of a creaky old wooden fishing trawler chugging seawards into a misty sunrise.

Can I say?
Every fucking movie that ends with a “utopia” where everyone is just smiling in a white void of a room with no color or joy to it? Makes me feel very much like that isn’t a utopia and just shows how unimaginative the people we let tell us how the world should be are.

I knew a lady who had this annoying saying, "if you’re bored, you’re boring.* I mean really, sayings like that irritate me to no end. Unfortunately it’s true.
We were all better when boredom was the great motivator to go out and do things, now it’s the motivator to (insert socially acceptable addiction here).

insert socially acceptable addiction here
“socially acceptable addiction” is the key point here. when people were bored at earlier times, they went to the nearest bar/pub/disco and sexually harassed some other people … that’s frowned upon these days.

People who havent experienced one iota of what this planet has to offer “it’s so boring heeeeere”
NannerBanner@literature.cafe 2 weeks ago
I mean… we are on lemmy, so it’s more like, people who can’t experience one iota of what this planet has to offer. The fact that I’ve been able to travel around just my home country and see a variety of landscapes puts me among a relatively lucky few. Being able to read more books in the last few months than many will ever own, or that I have an ‘adrenaline’ hobby, makes me incredibly lucky.
I won’t come down on someone who may never get out of a 50 mile region of their hometown.
belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Man, maybe it’s just that the US is depressing, but I have seen cool nature within two minutes of my home town. Like, there are small forests nearby who just have so much to offer.

I don’t really like going outside that much because of all the fucking vehicles filling the air with carcinogens.
Then there’s the excessive UV because the ozone layer was ruined.
And the noise all the vehicles make.
Yeah, I’m good. I’ll just enjoy the world from my window and computer thank you wery much.
turdas@suppo.fi 2 weeks ago
Unless you live in Australia the ozone layer is not a problem. If you do live in Australia, my condolences.

Yeah, that one’s kinda the sad proof we can all work together to combat an environmental issue and get results
Shame we seem to be not doing that so much these days

It’s a shame reading comments like this. The harms that you mention are absolutely miniscule compared to the negative effects of staying inside every day.
snoons@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I’d love to live in whatever world you’re in, but it doesn’t exist. It’s actually a shame so many people are so condescending about their delusions.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I wouldn’t be so sure that your living space isn’t filled with carcinogens, too. The air inside is coming somewhere, and furniture, carpets etc. often gas out harmful substances.

Because our brains are sensitive to change more than anything else and by default quell how beautiful the world is.

Seriously. And before anyone says “well you need a lot of money to do things”…
There is nothing stopping you from getting out of your room and exploring. Even if it means a quick adventure at a park nearby. Or go to some small town you’ve never been before. Explore the local shops and parks. Go to a local art exhibition. Sit somewhere and experience somewhere new.
None of this requires much money at all.

How does that not require money?

I guess depends where you’re located? I can take public transit to a random small town where I’m located, for about 80 cents.

I mean, steps .5-.99 are touching grass long enough to bring your brain back to equilibrium. If you can’t enjoy stopping to smell the roses because you’re so fried from oily food, video games, and casual online bigotry to mask your absence of self worth, there’s less point in the rest.
But that’s just how I perceive most modern 4chan posters. I’ve read no studies

I mean, steps 0-.99 are touching grass long enough to bring your brain back to equilibrium.
So, if the place you live has snow on the ground between November and May, you have to wait a few months to touch grass?

What y’all need is some Latino culture. We have public plazas and walkways where you can exist without being expected to buy or be forced to move along to avoid a ticket for loitering.
Napster153@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This I think is where a lot of problems started. The lost of the art of walking as we forced everyone to use cars for nothing more than profit.
Walking allowed us to see human faces and allowed us to keep in touch reality. You’re also less likely to be stressed bumping into a person than you do bumping you’re car.

I think everyone missed the actual greentext part and focused instead on the snarky comment, but there are, in fact, multiple cities in the world (including the US) where a significant number of people live on houseboats. Many large cities with a significant amount of waterways offer this option, such as Amsterdam, Hamburg, or Seattle. It’s sadly usually not cheap and comes with a number of drawbacks, but it IS possible.
Rooster326@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
They have dimly lit house boats but that doesn’t automatically mean ‘exciting’

Cruises are cool. The problem is that modern cruises are ecologically ass and only reasonably affordable to the rich.
qarbone@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t get that opinion. It’s a place where you, depending on what you pay for, get to eat and drink as much as you like, while reading in the sun. Sometimes you even stop in ports and find other cool places to visit later. If you can’t ignore the other passengers, then you need a higher level in Ignore.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
this is going to sound weird, but i enjoy cooking my own meals and i don’t think they let you do that on cruises
cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
why would you think my opinion is based on not being able to ignore others? that is a weird assumption
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Disagree strongly. Gourmet meals are included and nothing beats waking up to a different view on your balcony every day. Plus there’s so much to do on the ship, you hardly have to even get off at the ports (but of course you still should).
Best vacation ever. If I lived near the east coast, I’d go on a cruise every year. They’re a lot less expensive than you think.

You can gamble on Deck A, drink yourself solid on Deck B, gambling on the smoking Deck C, Gamble on the slots on deck D, eat an infinite amount of garbage did on the pool deck, and finally gamble on Deck E.
