I think that's the joke? We were promised bad and got so much worse
The most unrealistic thing about that movie was how much leg room everyone had on the space plane.
The future we wanted:
The future we got:
C c c commie blocks!
commie blocks, but… they look good???
because the picture was taken during a sunny summer day instead of a cloudy russian winter like usual???
impossible!!!!!!!
Living on a flat is not that fun. Spain is one of the western countries with more flats instead of individual houses.
And it's reported that a big chunk of Spaniards live with noise issues which affect our health in a negative way.
Hearing your neighbors all the time in the supposed tranquility of your own home can be mind breaking.
The main point is that all people have homes, instead of sleeping and dying under the bridge
That's true.
Where's the first picture?
Capsule hotel, popular in Japan.
I think they mean the building pic, not OP.
Nowa Huta: The city that went from communism to capitalism
Once a failed post-WW2 utopia, Krakow's Nowa Huta neighbourhood has found a new lease on life and is slowly emerging as a tourist destination.

Except both of these are the future we got, since they both exist.
Isn't the one on the left the prison from andor?
Its real. ln Japan or Singapore the "capsule hotel" is a budget travel option. Is it better than hostel? Not likely but ymmv.
Idk, i think they're pretty nice. You get a tiny bit of private space and it's bigger than it looks. Also pretty cheap.
None of those are good options.
The first one isn't for living in I don't think, just renting a place to sleep short term. Which, if anything, isn't that basically just the old idea of a hostel where someone can rent a bunk in a dormitory style room, but with a bit more privacy?
People do end up living out of the capsule hotels, it’s not common but it’s a step above being homeless
In which case, the existence of the hotel still isn't a bad thing, because without them the alternative would just be being homeless unless the economic conditions leading to that are fixed, and if they were fixed, people living in one long term wouldn't be likely to occur anymore anyway.
Crazy thing is many of them have full on onsens
The first one is a capsule hotel, which is basically a more luxurious hostel. More privacy, sometimes lockable, but doesnt block snoring noises :(
That's bottom cell talk
Atleast we're not in those commie blocks. 🤣🤣
Don't eat bugs, don't give up your houses, don't drink your own piss, don't stop using your gas powered yard equipment.
the ultra rich ride around in private jets multiple times a day, waste an absurd amount of drinking water, own dozens of mansions each and will never give up on eating real food
The second one reminds me of the kennel at the animal hospital that I worked for as a teen
please tell me you know what a hostel is
Our entire society is hostel to the unhoused.
Who else reporting in from here???
Send pics, I am so sad, so very sad
