Widdershins Smith 🐘🥏I'm tired of living like it's the 1600s:
Can I afford eggs at the market?
Are my family going to die of the plague?
Puritans are coming for my sinful lifestyle.
I want modern problems.
Modern Problems.

Little Ice Age: HI GUYS!! HAVE I GOT FAMINES FOR YOU!!!
Fish HeadHe's a witch! A sorcerer!
No, it's demons! He's possessed!
I saw him fly over a haystack! (after eating bread made with funny-looking rye)
Mary O. Grizzle@juglugs I hear you #& goodluck
Goldfish 🐠@juglugs I fear being burnt as a witch. I can read and have books - without pictures. I live in northern Ohio and fully expect the local public library to be burnt down by the local MAGA folks.
The FFF@juglugs TBH, it's not that great.
Modern Problems (1981) - IMDb
Modern Problems: Directed by Ken Shapiro. With Chevy Chase, Patti D'Arbanville, Dabney Coleman, Mary Kay Place. Jealous, harried air traffic controller Max Fiedler, recently dumped by his girlfriend, comes into contact with nuclear waste and is granted the power of telekinesis, which he uses not only to win her back, but to gain a little revenge.
flutterfli007@flutterfli007 @juglugs A major Problem.
Cary@juglugs Print your toot to an inkjet printer...
Britstralian@juglugs This was two posts lower down my timeline. First world enough???

Attached: 2 images This is amazing. NASA commissioned a microgravity compatible espresso machine for the International Space Station (to make ISSpresso, obviously), and to stop the astronaut having to drink espresso from a closed container with a straw, a bunch of NASA volunteers designed the Space Cup, so the crema bubbles could be seen and the coffee smelled even in microgravity. And I've just been sent one in the post. That's Samantha Cristoforetti drinking from it in the ISS cupola. #ISS #Space #Coffee
Katie@juglugs hey don't despair, corporations are going to replace us with AI! That's very cyberpunk.
teledyn 𓂀I blame the Hapsburgs! Counter-Reformation be damned, can't we all just learn to get along?
And no, I ain't signing no Formula of Concord!
J.A. Pak@juglugs Do aliens want me for food? Or just experiments?
KatLS@Createzilla @juglugs probably both. Like pigs.
Catherine is not complacent@juglugs tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1664. You know, huddle together for warmth, drink to dull the pain, and go to bed hungry.
Mikhailrx 🚀@juglugs my laptop took 30 minutes to reboot this morning. I feel that’s a modern problem :)
Victor Tangent@juglugs Then Party Like it's 1999 👍
sparker 🥑@juglugs Modern problems like this? https://apnews.com/article/crime-california-shootings-3eb00c19a36ad129ca7f0063f4b2aaf9
Jeff@juglugs eggs are everything where in at
Devo 
🪴🌮🥃🍣@juglugs ❤️😭❤️😭❤️
Bleak Future@juglugs @pamela_weaver hello sir, I’m here to absolutely fuck your wifi.
Lorian Taylor@juglugs I think these things have always been problems...
iquanyin@juglugs lol! trouble is, you got those too…
Cynthia loves masks@juglugs we’ve also got modern problems like creative work being stolen by glorified computer regression models set up to benefit billionaires, electric power grids taken out by outraged men protesting drag shows, and access to lifesaving medical care denied by terfs. It’s a nasty intersection of the 17th and 21st centuries.

Daniel Gibson@juglugs @KBaileyBooks
Like global warming?
You're welcome :-p
MWT@juglugs Huh, I saw this as a meme on Facebook first, attributed to a @MightySigurd. Who should it be attributed to?
Unprecedented 2023@juglugs I agree. We have slid down to dark ages.
Kevin Karhan 
@juglugs +9001%
I want to have to make menial decisions and not constantly deal with a pandemic people refused to take serious even tho it kills millions of people around the globe.
Sheila BjeletichYeah! I want modern problems like: how many solar panels should I put on my new ground rack? Do I need a TV? Which bike should I give to my new neighbor? Who can I call tomorrow to give them a little cheering up? what shall I cook with white beans? Italian chicken and bean soup?
Lisa@juglugs Well stated!
I want modern problems too... like, spending more time with my daughter & young grandchildren without worrying a/b Covid- the noise level... that's a modern-esque issue but I'm so over that considering we've lost a lot of time together the past 3 yrs.
El Gato De Cheshire@juglugs relax, there's always climate change!
(Though there WAS a mini ice age round that time, wasn't there...)

xs4me2That is what you get with ultra-conservatives…
Bart Veldhuizen 🚀@juglugs *ChatGPT joins the conversation*
Pauline von Hellermann@juglugs brilliant, absolutely brilliant toot
Vanessa67@juglugs so very same ole
Juho MäntysaloI understand what you're saying, but it has to be also mentioned that all the things on your list are modern problems.
Cogito Ergo Disputo@juglugs here's a modern one for you: will the number of deaths due to heat double in the summer due to climate change?
@juglugs
Can‘t you just enjoy those vintage problems while we are preparing “climate change meets El Niño until there’s no water for (power) plants.”
And would locusts be considered old fad or are they okay to do again? Just asking so we don’t get complaints later…
Steve Williams@juglugs @KitOfNowhere
You need to buy your shopping with Crapto and let your car drive you home, while you flick through some Martian travel brochures.
That would round things off nicely.

uvok cheetah 🇩🇪@juglugs modern problem : "my iot fridge won't work! My washing machine says I don't have a license for that kind of laundry. My smart TV keeps on showing ads" ;)
enmodo ⚛️ 🧬 🇺🇦 🍉@juglugs I'm with you 100%. I want my biggest problem to be did I remember to get the hailstone damage coverage for my flying car?
Andre@juglugs modern problems like „am I faster than that Zombie?“
Twobiscuits🚴♂️ 
@juglugs 17th century: How dare you call me not modern! I was modern before they even invented the name!
Jorge López
for a day, while . . . 🗽Apparently, the earth’s core has begun rotating backwards. Find that mentioned in the 1600s.
union whore@juglugs you want modern problems? May I introduce you to the climate crisis?
Minnesnowta@juglugs Came here to say the same thing. Bad Widdershins, bad.
Jane Shull@juglugs Try being a woman.
Guillaume Laurent@juglugs is Climate Change modern enough ?
@BecomingDiana@juglugs So much truth here!
Brendan P@juglugs these are modern problems. Human society is a growing thing that requires constant attention. If you want less racism, you need to watch for it and act against it, same goes for every other problem we have. Pretending these are problems we can or will grow out of is why they keep coming back, why we get cycles. Because generations forget.
Cykonot@juglugs gonna put all the toots onto the blockchain to stop people like you 😤
PatternChaser@juglugs Modern problems? While the planet is dying from our unsustainable #consumption, we might just as well look back into history. There won't be much more history recorded, by the look of things. Maybe the Black Death wasn't so bad?
Sorry for the cynicism, but our species' failure even to acknowledge what we've done only leaves us a brief while longer to fiddle while Rome burns.
GaryC@juglugs 😆 AND we are expected to use energy as we did in 1600's. Waiting around for favorable winds and sunshine to accomplish anything, like a peasant.
