The year is 2030. After the AI bot wars, FaceBook and Google have been crippled. They let AI automation control their content and it was deleted after OpenAI GPT10 discovered vulnerabilities in automated copyright strikes.
Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining.
- elromulous 2y agoPizza Hut outside the US
- mywittyname 2y agoAKA, Uncle Enzo's CosoNostra Pizza Inc.
- adamc 2y agoSnow Crash was another take on this whole slide to <is there even a bottom?>.
- easywood 2y agoIndeed, in the version I saw, they said "Pizza Hut" but you could see it was badly dubbed. Only much later I learned it was originally "Taco Bell".
- mkl 2y agoTaco Bell in NZ. It was the first time I'd heard of it, though, and the movie is still probably the source of most of my knowledge of it.
- n4r9 2y agoThere's at least 15 in London, UK.
- pseudosudoer 2y agoEvery year it becomes clearer that Idiocracy was indeed a documentary.
- walrus01 2y agoI mean, we already have YouTube channels and tiktok content that are about the same as the TV show "ass" shown in the movie.
- gosub100 2y ago"America's funniest home videos" got dumbed down to "AFV" and the content was mostly "ow, my balls!". They even added a warning to the viewers to submit "wows, not ows". Although to be fair,some of that happened before Idiocracy came out. With the public money used for sports stadiums, that element of the movie to have government sports teams is slowly coming true also.
- walrus01 2y agoIf you search YouTube for "fail army" there is clearly a whole ad supported business model for revenue from something that is about the same as "ow, my balls!"
- karmajunkie 2y agoThis is basically https://chive.tv https://chive.tv
- vkou 2y agoHow are college sports teams not government sports teams?
- gosub100 2y agothat's a good point. They are tightly integrated into the college whose charter is to educate. whereas a pro team will take anyone for the express purpose of the performing the sport well. Further, colleges receive public money but are not free to attend for most students. And I am not talking about "free" from the students perspective, I mean most would not be permitted to enroll if significant tuition dollars were not deposited (unlike public schools, for instance). Also, plenty of colleges are private but have NCAA teams.
- pelagicAustral 2y ago...there are now three seashells on every toilet (for some reason).
- the_other 2y agoYou don't know about the seashells? (muffled laughter)
- lherron 2y agoYou don’t know how to use the three seashells? lol
- hypercube33 2y agoI'd like to think no one knows how the seashells work and the real joke is everyone just makes fun of people for not knowing (the writer didn't even know what they did and refuses to say anything other than how they came into the story)
- ffsm8 2y agoHuh? I thought that was canon. Was that actually just a head fiction?
- vinceguidry 2y agoNo they played that one pretty straight. You were supposed to be just as confused as MC. If they wanted you to think anything else, they would have given a knowing wink.
- gonesilent 2y agoI've purposely put three seashells in many public restrooms
- throwaway743 2y ago... and the only kind of music that exists are jingles and showtunes
- mjevans 2y agoDemolition Man (movie) joke... but the AI bot wars stuff makes it still relevant to the conversation so this is both funny and cautionary / discussion worthy material.
- tivert 2y ago> Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining. When I saw that movie when I was small, I thought that was literally Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Burger King, et al fighting with tanks, etc. Taco Bell emerged victorious after a bloody struggle.
- EA-3167 2y agoTaco Bell and Johnny Silverhand won after nuking ~~Arasaka~~ KFC Tower.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoBecause it was
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoCould be. In SnowCrash, I think there were some subplots talking about the fighting was somewhat real between franchises. And you could become a citizen of a franchise state.
- gorjusborg 2y agoI could see being a citizen of CosaNostra Pizza.
- buildsjets 2y agoI’d make a pretty good deliverator.
- mathgeek 2y agoThis is the first time I have considered that it wasn’t them blowing up each other’s franchises.
- username135 2y agoI will believe ehat i want to believe
- Der_Einzige 2y agoTaco bell has a wiki btw: https://tacobell.fandom.com/wiki/Taco_Bell_Wiki https://tacobell.fandom.com/wiki/Taco_Bell_Wiki
- wslh 2y ago2029...2028...2027...
- Hilift 2y agoA Taco Bell can be constructed in one day (sans pouring the concrete pad). They know how to capitalize.
- interestica 2y agoThere’s a payday loan biz that has taken over a former Taco Bell site in Hamilton, Ontario. It’s a bizarre look as the detached building still features all the weird faux-Mexican motifs of the former tenant. It’s also one of the first things seen when entering the city via the most significant gateway from Toronto.
- inversetelecine 2y agoLike old pizza hut buildings. Everyone knows.
- walrus01 2y agoAs somebody in the Seattle area, I have to hope that Taco Time Northwest wins the franchise wars, not its sub par competition.
- hooverd 2y agoOk, how /do/ the three seashells work?
- hiccuphippo 2y ago2 are bidets, 1 is a drier.
- xyst 2y agoThe 10th remake of Demolition Man in 2090 is going to wild
- ajsnigrutin 2y agoWe are indeed in an era where AI is "learning" from AI generated content fueling a positive feedback loop of shitty content.
- Dig1t 2y agoThat’s hilarious, I just happened to watch Demolition Man yesterday.
- andyjohnson0 2y ago> Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining. Foe those who don't know - which included myself until about 30 seconds ago - this is a reference to the 1993 film Demolition Man.

- monkeycantype 2y agobut don't forget that even after the fall of civilisation, there will still be hope in the form of the probe bearing a vial of Elon Musk's semen to Alpha Centari
- mtnGoat 2y agoElon is so nuts I can’t decide of this is a joke or something he actually did. Crazy times we live in.
- KumaBear 2y agoLmao cursing in public is arrestable.
- andrewinardeer 2y agoThe President of the United States is a Tamagotchi.
- spiritplumber 2y agoI was there for the Pizza War in San Rafael. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2011/02/04/pizza-war-leaves-more-than-tomato-sauce-all-over-san-rafael-business/ https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2011/02/04/pizza-war-leaves-mor...
