dont do that
If Back to the Future we’re remade today, he’d be going back in time to 1995.
I’d like to see a remake of Back to the Future just so we can have a scene where Doc Brown refuses to believe Donald Trump will be president.
I’d like to see a remake of The United States of America where Donald Trump is never the president.
The allure of fantasy
Ronald Reagan, the actor?!
Even better: Make the alternate timeline a utopia with doc Brown saying he hasn’t had time to analyze the differences and leave it at that. Throughout the movie have framed portraits of Bernie Sanders ifrom 1995 n the background of any scene indoors.
Like the Sly Stallone comment in demolition man about the Schwarzenegger library.
In retrospect, the standard of what seemed ridiculous and over-the-top at the time was a bit higher.
Idiocracy isn’t even remotely funny nowadays, it’s genuinely just very anxiety inducing now. And it’s honestly too fucking positive. A government actually trying to fix issues? Yeah, right.
In 2060s, people look back at the good old days of 2020s. Doomscrolling, AI generated images, brainrot, existential dread, LLMs, those were the days…
Atleast we have internet and visible stars
We’re working on those. Just a little bit more tyrannical dictatorship and a whole lot more smoke should do the trick.
In 2060, people will curse the people of 2020 who did almost nothing to mitigate climate change.
Nah, by then we will be living in underground cave cities. Machines will control the devastated surface
Maybe. Or the propaganda will have been so successful that nobody will discuss climate change because that’s just the way things are.
Wait. There’ll still be people around in 2060?
You could be there too. Are you good at surviving through famine or avoiding violent people?
Other ways to feel old:
- Smells Like Teen Spirit came out in 1991, just 22 years after the moon landing. As of now, it’s been 34 years since its release.
- Back to the Future came out in 1985, which is 40 years ago, and only 30 years from 1955.
- The Matrix is a 1999 film. It was old enough to drink… five years ago.
- Alex Warren, who is currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, hadn’t yet reached one year old on 9/11.
- The video game Doom came out in 1993. Pac-Man came out in 1980. 13 years between the games. But it’s been 32 years since Doom.
Should I go on?
This relevant XKCD is a teenager now
Ouch. Guess I deserved that inevitable retaliation.
I was having a good day
Sorry, I’ll make up for it with this weird music video that wishes you a nice day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mkiGMtbrPM
Hope it helps.
You’re wrong. It’s an established fact that the 90s were ten years ago.
You’re correct. The 90s has always been and will always be ten years ago.
The future scenes in Back to the Future II take place ten years in the past.
Oof
You can go on away from here with your personal attacks.
On average the entire human population turns over every 120 years.
Everyone alive today wasn’t here 120 years ago
Everyone alive today won’t be alive in 120 years
The modern human species is about 60,000 years old … we’ve only been technologically modern in the past 150 years, geologically speaking, we’re still cavemen.
Your content is entertaining but you are a dick.
I… can’t dispute that.
Fuck you. How dare you attack me like this
If Back to the Future were made today, Marty would be going back to the year 1995 instead of 1955.
And Marty would be 57 years old
I did nothing to you and yet you attack me on a personal level?!
My dad was born in 1955. My oldest brother was born in 1990.
This is fucking with me
My oldest brother was born in 1990.
This is fucking with me
I was born in 1973. My grandfather was born in 1892 !
Listen here you little shit…
LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA
NO ITS NOT SHUT UP
…I JUST woke up! Why do you want me to feel old???
That’s not true, that’s impossible!
I am all of the sudden Luke Skywalker, a character from that old classic film.
Well, fuck you too
That is how time works
