Oh hey - ghost in the shell supposedly takes place in 2030 - then gits:sac and the follow on movie all take place then through 2034.

so 2015 was supposed to give us flying cars and hoverboards, and by 2030 we were supposed to have full-body cyborgs

but instead we got

instagram and the tide pod challenge

@JessTheUnstill @paul_ipv6 now that i own a bidet, can tell you, flatly, that there need to be more than 3 seashells. either that or they have like, different zones that represent different buttons.

I miss my bidet ... But my new places' water valve on its toilet is so rusted I'm too nervous to try and unscrew it to reinstall the thing...

@JessTheUnstill @paul_ipv6 theres a restaurant in sf ive been to a few times that has one of the 7000 dollar totos. it looks like an egg. as you approach it, it opens, mists itself, blue lights come out, and it plays birdsong. it almost looks like a cryopod from a scifi movie or a tiny spacecraft

i do find the level of self-indulgence of needing to pick the music i go to the bathroom to a bit much. :D

If I was shy about the sound of me peeing, I'd simply scream at the top of my lungs so nobody can hear me pee.

@JessTheUnstill @Viss @paul_ipv6 lack of bidets are proof this isn’t a developed nation.
