This is already the second meme I've seen with that joke, just different examples. Seems like the invasion in the Middle East triggers a whole lot of dejavuing. π₯΄

Oh great, so there's should be an economic collapse and housing crash right around the corner!
Economic collapse? Sure, but for a new housing crisis we don't have enough home owners... How about a nice cost-of-living crisis instead? Or perhaps the good old rent-rising, salaries-stagnation crisis?
Almost certainly an economic one. Most of our "economy" (stock value, but the media and owners treat this as if it's the economy) is tied up in just a few companies, and all of those company's value are most AI. I'm reasonably confident there will be an AI crash, which will tank stock values and everyone with investments in these companies.
I'm not so sure if there will be a housing market collapse.
I keep telling people: if you live in town go outside at like 2 am and fire a couple round into the dirt. Regular gunfire reduces property rates and can be used as leverage to keep rent low.
Coming soon to an economy near you.
I mean
Don't worry housing won't crash until I buy a place, THEN it will be the best pricing in decades
Please take one for the team, it's too expensive for me rn
The writers of Earth have really given up. They kept implying some cool sci fi universe flip but itβs just cyberpunk dystopia with repeating plot lines.
The American plot line didn't work out. They were not that popular with the main audience and seen as too loud and obnoxious. The story is moving focus to Asia. It was a major influence of cyberpunk after all.
America is the worldβs Homer! You canβt kill Homer!
The Simpsons one? Or the Greek?
Actually we fired all the creatives and replaced them with a large language model trained primarily on social media posts.
Cyberpunk dystopia without the cool neon aesthetics.
They're still working on the plot for that, but are feeding us reruns in the meantime.
Scary Movie 6 is coming out?! You just made my day!
Wait, they made a fifth one?!?
Wait, they made a fourth one?
Wait, they made a third one?
Wait, they made a second one?
Sadly, yes.
Now I wonder what modern horror movies I've got to be up on to understand all the references that will inevitably be in the new Scary Movie.
Our precious American culture of escapism and privilege. β οΈ We literally fund the world's evilest to have the ability to be evil and pretend we don't.
Nothing ever ends.
Idk I almost got laid. Which...
Oh. Oh fuck. Oh my fucking fuck. I swear to fucking God.
If, in two weeks time... Good Lord. I might be in a simulation.
The universe used up too many plotlines.
Can someone remind me what the original comic is in this meme. Someone recommended it but I can't remember what it's called
Watchmen
Thx
