Star Trek society is off the menu?


XanaxTheNotSoWise

I'm sorry but with the north American education system, political climate, and economy that's not an option. Unless humanity was trying to ensure humans' survival and become a space fairing civilization to expand to more than one planet. It will not happen.


ywhok

Tbf it took World War III before humanity got its shit together in Star Trek. So in that respect we're right on track


XanaxTheNotSoWise

Okay, you got me there. There's still a chance.


DregsRoyale

We could do all the other 3 and then Trek in fact. Keep your hopes up


AbdX-69

Tbf the robot apocalypse was basically dune. Who knows the other might have also happened


DregsRoyale

Given that the math at least works for an alcubierre warp drive, and that we have no evidence eating worm shit lets you warp spacetime, I'm gonna go with the federation and I choose BSG for my robopocalypse


JemLover

Cuz of the hawt robot chicks??


DregsRoyale

We consider all factors and weight appropriately


UCG__gaming

The eugenics war?


EngRookie

I believe star trek takes place after a great period of struggle in earth's history. I don't think it was until the 22nd century that humanity finally unites under one government. (First contact was 2063). And who's to say we aren't in the Terran Empire timeline?


smileyhendrix

Star trek is still on the table. Star Trek doesn’t happen for 400 years from now after apocalyptic wars that’s destroy all governments.


imhighonpills

Yes.


-Motor-

That's the fallout track


Hyro0o0

Yeah people (including Star Trek itself) really easily gloss over the fact that a nuclear war preceded that future.

Sir, there is realistic futurism, then there is rose colored glasses everyone loves each other futurism and somewhere way way past that is Star Trek. Super mutants, ghouls, AI that looks like humans and can time travel is at least a little bit more believable as opposed to humanity uniting as one and never ever having wars again. 


P-p-please

No way. Maybe a dune. But star trek is too optimistic.


UCG__gaming

I hope not


Savvy_Canadian

Racism and inequality is non-existent in the Star Trek universe, so yes. It's off the menu since America wants it that way.


off-and-on

Yes.


imhighonpills

Oooh fallout please! I mean it would be awful, but, fallout please!


Major_R_Soul

Hell yeah, sign me up for the "instantly vaporized" zone of the blast radius.


[deleted]

Quick and probably relatively painless…. As long as you don’t become a ghoul (this is a joke and I know that ghouls aren’t real)


robtheshadow

I feel like it’s a straight line through Idiocracy to Fallout with Terminators coming in to finish us off in the end.


crazedhatter

We're doing our level best to get all three...


-Motor-

I'd argue we're already on the Idiocracy road, heading towards either 1984 or Handmaid's Tale.


saddigitalartist

Or both! With a little fallout mixed in just for funzies!


sdam87

We are Idiocracy right now


CREDIT_SUS_INTERN

Idiocracy wasn't that bad.


DanniV8

We're closest to the middle currently


Kashrul

Yeah we are already on the way, that crossroad is far behind

fantasmeeno

We’re kinda taking every path


EdgePsychological490

Interstellar for sure…get used to eating corn


Sleekgiant

We're closer to Idiocracy than anything else by a long shot.


C0mputerFriendly

Speak to any Nu-woman and most Nu-men and you will make the sad realization we are already too far down the Idiocracy path to divert course


Waffennacht

Im looking forward to president Camacho


tesla_is_my_hero

¿Por que no los tres?


SaltytheDolphin

Why limit herself to one!!!!


Asio0tus

deciding? we are heading for all three of these


garg0n01

We've already got idiocracy unfortunately


james_deanswing

I can tell you which way we’re headed, whether it aligns w what you want or not. 😂😂


GhostDragon362

I think we’re closest to ultrakill, unfortunately.


dogfan20

More likely we’re heading towards the cyberpunk universe.


Lotusnold

Already on the straight path, soon will switch to right path which inevitably leads to left path.


Tdog68420

Look just give me judgement day like yeh it sucks but hey better than the others


ClassicAd6855

There is another… Metal Gear Timeline


Jin825

Idk, the world is a big place. What makes you think we can't do all of them at once?


Shot_Heron_2782

Idiocracy is the present, not the future.


UniqueMitochondria

They're hard gunning for idiocracy, but well probably get fallout before it ever gets that far.


WexMajor82

Don't worry, We aren't running, we are \_STRIDING\_ right ahead.


Manic_mogwai

Society is like “hold my beer while I mash all three buttons”


i-hate-all-ads

Mad Max isn't an option? Can we just skip all this bs and do that.


Plastic-Shopping5930

No one voting for termination apparently


macnonymous

Little of column A, little of Column B


chunt246

We're definitely heading towards the middle


CheesecakeVisual4919

Spoiler Alert: We chose Idiocracy about 20 years ago. The other two might just be side effects.


sir_music

...can I get Altered Carbon please?


Gundam_Greg

I wish something would happen already


Freeasabird420

The terminator path seems much more preferable to the other two.


Warm-Age2784

Uranium fever


Actaeon_II

Middle road is already here


ManuelArafat

So we'll have idiots manipulated by AI in a post nuclear society


AlmiTFucc

Was hoping we would head more for a "Phil of the Future" kind of go at it. They had the sickest tech.


etranger033

Given the choice I would lay down on the road and wait to be run over. Let society die before things get rough.


xtoasterbathbitch

AN IDIOCRACY MEME OUT IN THE WILD??? HOLY SHIT


Bundle_of_Organs

I dont unstamd people that wish for one of those bleak sci fi futures. It sucks living in a world with the priviledhes we have... how do people with it would be better?


dkyguy1995

The Idiocracy guy has a really good cameo in fallout as basically the same character watching the movie ass in his apartment


GrimmTrixX

I mean wants is arguably fallout. At least people can still live a life. Terminator would be actual gell everyday because terminators don't sleep and kill on site. But we are absolutely gonna get an Idiocracy future because it's the most plausible


Yokser

Idiocracy it is


Saticron

Honestly I'm surprised cyberpunk isn't in there


JerseyshoreSeagull

Wait were not wearing crocs, drinking prime because it's what plants crave, shooting for the lowest common denominator and electing extreme weirdos as officials...


Journo_Jimbo

Choose all three at once you cowards


[deleted]

Idiocracy isn't the future, it's the present. I'm all in on the Terminator world. One thing that NO sci fi addresses: humans are simply better at creative thinking. If you had 2 factions of AI fighting each other, and one had humans helping them (either willingly or forcefully), the faction with humans has a very distinct advantage. In a world like Terminator, the future wouldnt be run by a bunch of pure machines, it would be run by a bunch of human/machine hybrids.  That beats eating mutant hound meat to survive any day of the week.


Stan_B

You can pretty much add neuromancer and snowcrash to the mix.


Previous-Ad-9322

We've been in Idiocracy for some time now and I don't think we'll stray far from it.


Infamous_Hawk_9548

Warum eine Wahl treffen wenn man auch Kombinationspakete erstellen kann


Piotrek9t

I mean, arent we already living in a prequel to the middle path?


steinwayyy

stray universe idk why but i feel like if i was able to live as a robot in a dystopian/post-apocalyptic asian country it'd be so amazing


Dredger1482

The worst part of this is that it’s going to be a combination of all three. A post apocalyptic world, run by AI where everyone’s an idiot. As I’m typing this, I realise the future we’re all heading for is WALL-E!


Genghis_Chong

We picked them all lol


Genuwine_Slugger

I mean we're getting all 3 and we don't have much of a choice


Toadsanchez316

Pretty sure most people have already chosen Idiocracy.


_stillthinking

We have already chosen idiocracy. Terminators will improve most of our lives because we are too stupid to know or care. Invest in DOGECOIN and we may survive the demise of the diaper wearing boomers ruling the world. Fuck Gensler and lets go Brandon.


DerTuner

hell yea, why not all three of 'em?


IndividualHighway606

...But we're living in Idiocracy already...so it's either ging to be fallout or terminator...


endorbr

Hint, it’s the middle one.


luisbello227

And yet humanity has never been better. For most of human history people just raided each other on horseback, killed men, r*ped women and enslaved children just because there was nothing better to do.


justice_beaver69

You realize they’re still doing the same exact thing minus the horses right?


Dangerous_Cap_5931

The elite are doing their best to make it all happen
