  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Where does the flour for the bread come from ?

From the essential workers who don't get to enjoy this wonderful utopia everyone is so excited about. Ask healthcare workers how they liked the pandemic.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 13 points 2 years ago

Right? This utopia is only for a select few who brag about how great it will be when they don't have to deal with anyone else and can just fuck around without having to think of others.

Some of us were laid of in states that didn't provide unemployment pay and suffered trying to find work, and being taken advantage of. They dream of a dystopia because they were on the good side of it.

Well obviously somebody has to toil so the rest of us can do fuck all, but if they're poor and far away we don't have to think about them too much.

I'd like to fully automate grain harvesting.

Fun fact: I once talked about this with a distant relative, and they replied "but wouldn't that imply a loss of workplaces for farmers?".

Funner fact: they basically have automated grain harvesting. Combine harvesters can use GPS positioning to drive themselves. They also come with remote controllers much like a model airplane, or drone does.

And yes, it does mean that the farmers aren't hiring as many farm hands as they used to.

Do you happen to have a link? I only find articles talking about attempting it, but not making it.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, no. I can't find the article that I read about it.
