Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot to edit the meme. But I mean… it was 2020. It was a great year! Don’t you wanna go back?

        Oh it’s definitely the future now:

        • The year is 2023
        • Hollywood writers are on strike because AI is threatening their jobs
        • A man was arrested with a crossbow. He had been convinced by an AI sexbot to assassinate the Queen of England
        • There is open mechanized warfare in eastern Europe. Robots are a key factor in the fighting, and robotic warfare technology is advancing rapidly in the conflict
        • Within the last month we just recovered the first material from an asteroid
        • We have approximately 8,000 satellites in orbit, a great majority of which use ion thrusters for positioning
        • The US Navy has published video and data proving the existence of alien technology visiting Earth
        • Nuclear fusion reactions have been demonstrated that provide more energy than their inputs
        • IT personnel are encouraged to use new quantum-resistant encryption methods because the advent of quantum computing makes all previous encryption ineffective

        The future has creeped up on us slowly, but we’re definitely in it.

          The US Navy has published video and data proving the existence of alien technology visiting Earth

          They really haven’t, they’ve published videos of unidentified aerial phenomenon, which is most likely either birds, or American domestic or foreign military classified technology, and the only other “proof” has been testimony from individuals in the ranks who are likely off their rocker.
