emfive posted:I want a smart robot refrigerator that will automatically dump old rotten stuff out of a tube in the back where it goes to some sort of neighborhood compost pile or maybe the Third World. It will post weekly reports of how much I've contributed to society by forgetting about food I bought. Sounds good or maybe it could be used as biofuel. And just because some pieces of technology are fairly useless doesn't mean we haven't achieved great things also.

Omi-Polari posted:There was some effects-of-nuclear-war report from the 1970s that argued a war would shift the political power base of the United States to rural areas. What it didn't say, but what it basically meant, was that the GOP would benefit from a massive demographic shift in its favor, as nuclear bombs disproportionately kill city-dwellers (liberals). Funny how Americans can imagine the nuclear apocalypse but not an end to their two party system.
