This is starting to sound pretty plausible
@mxk "Bronze age racoons versus baboons riding domesticated battle-wolves in a post-cyber punk and new age solar punk" could be the type of comic project I would love to draw 
I note.
@davidrevoy @mxk I mean the cover almost draws itself
@mxk This was the exact plot of a short story in Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, except it was post nuclear war.
@madopal @mxk "There Will Come Soft Rains" -- just updated for the technology that we have now instead of what Bradbury imagined. Personally, I am still waiting for my robot mice.
@mxk The thing that is least plausible about this is the tweeting.
@mxk Reminds me of that bit in Hitch-Hiker's Guide where a passenger spaceship waits for lemon-scented napkins for thousands of years until civilization re-evolves sufficiently to supply them.
@mxk The only implausible thing here is that an LG fridge will last more than 3 years without a service appointment.
@FirefighterGeek @mxk It's been trying to schedule one.
@mxk For a more recent (and hilarious) long-form version of this story, see Service Model by @aptshadow
@mxk @precariousmind This is like a parody of the Ray Bradbury story of an automated house on its last legs after a nuclear war
@mxk I only hope the raccoons, baboons and octopuses will learn from our mistakes.

@mxk

the most believable part are the raccoons and octopi

@mxk

A lot of the plot of Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky revolves around these ideas.

@helvick

Love that book! Recommend to anyone curious to see a failure mode of capitalism

@mxk

@mxk

This could easily be the setting in the book "Service Model" (Adrian Tchaikovsky)

Edit:do'h someone already mentioned it

@cstross

@mxk @cstross Very PKDian, much Autofac…
@mxk there is never a place for octopi
@mxk It's already started - the monkeys are loose in South Carolina and four racoons just escaped on the Isle of Wight.
@mxk I don't agree that humanity will be extinct - it's easy to crash civilization but damn hard to wipe us out to the last breeding pair - but it's super funny anyhow. Thanks for the laugh.
@mxk Glad to see nuclear fusion remains perpetually "25 years from now" for the octopi as well.
@mxk Now I can understand, why "planed obsolescene" makes realy sense! 🥸
@mxk Sara Teasdale, "There Will Come Soft Rains" (inspiration for Ray Bradbury).
