We’ll live shitty lives forever

Shut your whore mouth! All we have to look forward to anymore is inevitable death and the sweet silence of oblivion… 😣

I was just thinking that the one thing the race to the bottom has not yet replaced with a cheaper, enshittified version is death. Love, friendship, food, urbanization, yes.

Yes it does, and it comes quicker. More people are dying younger, and face-down on their kitchen floors alone, instead of being surrounded by loved ones in a hospital.

If they’ve got enough money to die in the hospital those aren’t loved ones - they’re in the will.

since the printing press, things have gotten shittier, exponentially

Pining for the long-lost halcyon days of feudalism.

We are on the asymptote of shittiness.
