yeah there are definitely a handful of specific ILX posts i would like to un-post or have the username anonymized or something, was trying out certain forms of performative or oversharing online whatever-ness and they are gross to me now. kinda feel like someday someone is going to track them down and hold them against me.

is there another thread for stuff that's considered socially acceptable now that will be unbelievable in 20+ years?

likely a lot of necessary retraction for environmental band-aids: end of plastic water bottles, less air conditioning everywhere, red meat becoming a shameful luxury item

i think red meat will be last! lots of lobbyists and murrican jobs, plus multiple decades of people brainwashed into believing red meat is TRUE FOOD and a sign of casual wealth. would not be surprised to see NIMBY state legislature blocking federal mandates to reduce red meat consumption in the 2040's

Ideally I’d like to eat only expensive red meat but there’s so much of the cheap shit available

I do wonder if we're going to face some reckoning with cellphones like people did with cigarettes. It'll take another decade or two to see right? I'm thinking wild new cancers

Watching this episode of The Golden Girls last night, this scene reminded me of this thread. Even on a largely queer-positive (and queer-beloved) series, 1980s were often indistinguishable from the 1930s.

We really screwed the world domination stately there. Once upon a time ilxor was mentioned in the same breath as Reddit and Metafilter (by the guardian at least). If only we'd worked a bit harder a positing in our underwear we could have overtaken reddit and cornered the market in Nazi,s Flat earth's, anti vaxxers and people with there bits out.
