future

The end of 2020 is finally approaching after what felt like a whole decade of disaster and disappointment. Many are lamenting the failures of this year by looking ahead and fantasizing about what 2021 would look like if it was as good as 2020 was bad. u/ilikepintobeans posted this exact question to r/AskReddit and the general consensus was that in an ideal world, coronavirus and global warming would be 'cured.' Some redditors put a pretty entertaining sci-fi spin on their answers. Considering all that's happened and what is to come, it's safe to say that we all desire a better world for everyone.

We're willing to bet that every once in a while, Bill Gates gets out of bed in the morning and has an "Oh God what have I done" kind of moment, regarding his contributions to technology. These memes poke fun at that sentiment, and more specifically they roast the totally moronic content that people on the internet (for some reason) find humorous in 2020.

Rapper Future is no stranger to the meme game. He's been the star of many a mocking relationship-centric meme since "Future Sending Exes Texts" came onto the scene around Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, instead of making a mockery of ex-boyfriends, this meme seems to wag a finger at promiscuous women. The tweets feature the text "She belongs to the streets," which was popularized by Future - and many of the meme creators seem to acknowledge their misogynistic nature by labeling the rapper's tome as the "Book of Misogyny." We're hoping the people who retweet the memes are aware of the slightly problematic message - and hope women know it's okay to run free. We all know that dudes see no qualms about it.

Pretty much everyone has that toxic ex who just won't go away. Maybe they text you at weird hours. Maybe they like your photos from a year ago on days that meant something when you were together. Maybe you had to block them. These toxic exes always seem to pop up during the holidays, and these memes of the rapper Future perfectly exemplify these scummy and opportunistic individuals. The meme, which was birthed on Twitter, features several different photos of the rapper appearing to be sending a text message. The text is almost always a softboi-esque attempt at forcing someone to think of them under the guise of a wholesome message. The transparent "Thinking of you" texts are so relatable that this meme was pretty much guaranteed to take off. And take off it has. While they started around Thanksgiving, a wealth of the jokes have continued to pop up through Christmas, and we expect to see more into the new year. 

We get a little bit closer to that dystopian future of our dreams everyday. Sometimes an advertisement notices how close we are. An subway billboard in Beijing has done just that. The advertisement is for a sports haze mask and features a female running with a face mask that looks like a souvenir from Fury Road. A sports haze mask is for people attempting to exercise in heavy smog areas, like Beijing. Twitter reacted, as it's wont to do, welcoming the new oncoming dystopia.

Oh, the irony. "The Future Is Private" that's certainly rich. These headlines are so far off from the truth of the future, it's depressing and slightly frightening. But still, you have to laugh at just poorly these posts have aged. 

Welcome to the circus of the future! When it comes to the circus, animal abuse has always been a major problem. However, Circus Roncalli, a German circus founded in 1976, is making a change for the better, and they don't even need to rid themselves of the entire circus to do so! Thanks to Bluebox, who successfully installed 11x ZU850 Optoma models and 11x BX-CTA03 lenses, the circus can now offer stunning and action-filled performances involving animals without actually having any. It's a complete win-win situation: visitors get to enjoy the sight of the animals, the circus can live on, and real animals can be left alone! See some of the spectacular images and video of the circus of the future below.

We're getting to the point where advertisers are trying to capitalize on everyone's cynicism and anxiety over our changing world, and it sure feels like a god damn slap in the face. Some of these are certainly intended as jokes, but when you think about what they're trying to say, are they really?

There's nothing quit like the satisfaction of making a prediction and ending up being totally right. Okay, maybe it's not so satisfying if it's about being cheated on or your brother's divorce, but it at least feels a little cathartic to have been right. Here are times people got it right out of the blue. For more stories of amazing intuition, here are some times people's "there's something not right about him/her" predictions came true.

Here are some frightening examples of brands sinking deeper into everyday life, rewritten history and creeping cynicism in a changing world. Really makes you feel like pretty soon we'll all be working for the same corporation for 16 hours a day. Yikes.
