/sci/ - Science & Math

You undershot by 500 years, this is 2010.

>>1582521
engineers are faggots

Come with me, I can show you the world.

I'm having sex with countless robotic lolis. So yeah, life's good.

Here in the Good ol' USA have gotten so fat that we've all turned into hamburgers ourselves, man... Don't eat us tho, please.

We still haven't had a female president yet, too! Women, are all in the kitchen man... Making us moon pies

>>1582526
I think you're confused, good sir

>>1582534
>we've all turned into hamburgers ourselves
>Women, are all in the kitchen man... Making themselves more delicious.

Well, everythings futuristic except Africa, they're still using witch doctors to cure themselves man. Thats probably why we live to 250 and they still have an average rate of death of 35... HAHAHAHAHA, stupid nigggers

come take a trip with me

People can now have their brains implanted into androids and be immortal if they choose too, I'm actually an android. Us androids have become so realistic that theres no way to tell the difference!

Well, we've moved into space but them reavers are a mighty fearful thing.

We won't be zipping across the universe in space ships in, we're still on earth.

Technology has reached an equilibrium, theoretical physics has not advanced beyond finding a few more particles, genetic modification and computing are more advanced but have not achieved anything spectacular, many industries are generally much more efficient than today but this is countered by the scarcity of non-renewable resources. Coal, crude oil and various minerals still exist in reserves that are in low concentration and expensive to extract, uranium can be extracted from seawater at relatively lower expense although nuclear power is only used for specialized industries and of course weapons, most industrial materials are obtained through recycling which is cost effective due to the expense of said materials.

The world is dominated by water, wind powered vessels are again the only economical way to transport goods, hydro-electric power is the most practical form of energy, solar power is used in some places but they are expensive to replace when damaged, biomass is used to feed huge populations for the reason that oppressive regimes consider GDP more important than GDP per capita, humans are more energy-efficient than machines at many tasks.

For the rest of the world away from the the dams or the coast, rivers and canals connecting them to industrial centers it is little different from most of the world in the 19th century, most people are farmers, there are landowning aristocratic classes who try to transport their produce to the industrialized world for luxuries and arms.

>>1582598
That seems awesome.

Seriously, I want that future.

>>1582598

Jesus fucking christ that's the most depressing thing I've read this year.

>>1582670
Same.

I've read things that would be more depressing but not things that are so likely and so depressing.

Well, I don't know how you missed it, but the singularity happened about 480 years ago. How embarrassing! Here, plug this chip into your brain and you will become omniscient like everyone else.

>>1582598
This might happen if theres a rather large war this century but to be completely honest by 2510 we will definitely have colonies on mars or the moon if nothing terrible like mass famine, mass disease and WW III doesn't happen. Without those things we will live longer have more technology and hopefully somewhat close to figuring out how to fuel a warp drive efficiently.

>>1582782
*warp drive engine

Captchas you can't read are required to speak to someone.

sorry to have to tell you about the great apocolypse of 2510, OP, as I was sent back from the year 3215 to this thread, to say that your coming back in time to this thread starts a terrible chain of events. I must now go kill your grandfather- rendering a second anomalous fluctuation that destroys the existence of this deviant world everyone here is living in.

lol, no.

How about $500 a barrel gasoline? What would that do?

>>1582891
It would make us move to renewable energy sources. As we should have done by now.

2510.... 18 years after The Great Furpocalypse. Even though it's been almost two decades since it happened, the world is still reeling in the affects of that devastating event.

You see, what happened was that the furfags began to genetically alter their bodies, transforming themselves into real life beasts. At first they would wander the lowest levels of the transport network in most megalopolises, terrorizing, raping, and even cannibalizing anyone unfortunate enough to be caught. But their sexual deviancy knew no bounds, and before long, they were adding multiple penile protrusions to their phenotypes in addition to abducting entire families and turning them into beasts to be used as sex slaves subjected to diaper fur shittery. The scourge spread far and wide and furfags infiltrated all ranks of government to stall any attempt to counter their fandom.

Eventually, humanity had enough and ousted the furfags from government, and rose up against the scourge, and The Great Furpocalypse was the result. Hundreds of thousands of anti-fur squads scoured the lands in search of any signs of furries, and when they were found, they were butchered on site like the filthy animals they were. Each squad had a large mobile execution chamber where furries would be disembowled, gassed, skinned alive, or burnt in ovens.

>>1583047

Hey that's mean.

At least do I get to keep one?

>>1583060
No. Any furfag sympathizer caught conspiring with furfags is to be subjected to immediate extermination with extreme prejudice.

>>1583047
Real story: Three families were abducted and forced into a life of furry prostitution in Los Angeles, by an organized crime syndicate which was paying bribes to the local police to stop them from investigating. The outrage when this was discovered was then used by Davidson to justify his scaremongering about the furries, seize control over the formerly democratic world government, and execute all his political opponents.

>>1582938
If you think mankind has the capacity to get all, or even half the energy it needs to feed its titanic food consumption from "renewable energy" you are sadly mistaken

Peak energy is coming and with it will come Peak civilization, unable to sustain our massive energy demands by the year 2020 there will be mass famine and governmental decapitation.

Welcome to the end of the age of oil and the new dark ages.

Humanity hasn't recovered since.

>>1583047
lol you should read "Dietmar Dath - Die Abschaffung der Arten"
Well it's written in german but somehow your story reminds me of this.
Although the furries overtook humanity .. but oh yeah.

This thing was actually funny to read also hard cause he used some writing styles that were pretty mind raepin.
Dunno if there is any english translation

Also furapocalypse had already begun:

Solar power in particular is getting cheaper and more efficient all the time. Not to mention the work being done to create bacteria that excrete petroleum. The impetus to develop these technologies will increase dramatically as fossil fuels become more scarce.

It's likely that in 500 years we'll be into full blown transhumanism, the average person will probably be totally unrecognizable as human on a physical or psychological level.

>>1583468
Solar would be growing 10x is current rate if there weren't big limits in the amount of silicone the solar industry can get.

All it will take is oil to drop off to send people into a peak energy panic, the general population will realize that 7 billion people is billions more than the world can support without cheap energy namely fossil fuels. Once this happens i fear there will be a colossal waste of resources in an attempt to replace fossil fuels and maintain this lifestyle when in reality we as a society have been living far beyond our means for 150 years.

There is no possible combination of solar, wind, geothermal, or bio fuels that will keep the monster of world energy consumption going.

The idea that mankind can continue its growth model is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of our environment in society. As an intelligent civilization we have this tenancy to think we are above limitations of other animals and if theres a social problem we can just throw technology at it, while a deeper understanding of the problem shows that there is no true solution.

Wake up, we are living in the last years of the golden age of scientific progress, medicine, civilization, and much more.

>>1583779
OK, Chicken little.

>>1583071

But I'm not conspiring with the furfags, I just want to keep a genetically-engineered super-furry part human part felinoid woman as a pet.

Read sex slave.

>>1583814
the sky isn't falling, we're just growing so fast we're gonna smack into it

>>1583837
Any self respecting man would want that.

>>1583779

This is neo-luddite nonsense, there is far more solar energy available than we could ever find a use for. Let alone the various other alternatives to fossil fuels.

>>1583779

Many of the third generation solar cells don't even need silicon.

>>1583845
>there is far more solar energy available than we could ever find a use for.
but we don't have enough resources to manufacture enough solar panels to cover our current energy needs.
>Let alone the various other alternatives to fossil fuels.
which need one scientific breakthrough or another to be usable on any meaningful scale.

People's butts fart four times a poop. We don't know why they just do.

>>1583939
>but we don't have enough resources to manufacture enough solar panels to cover our current energy needs.

False.

I strongly suggest a little light reading:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-cost_solar_cell

>>1583837

You can't, because you were exterminated along with all of them, you furfag.

>>1583993

But I don't want to change my body into that of a furry.

Just keep one as a pet for, er, science.
