What is this "retirement" you speak of?

Oooh! The period where they put us all out on an ice flow when we become too old to work!

[-] Decimit@lemmy.world 83 points 1 year ago

You think we will still have ice?!

[-] pensivepangolin@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Seriously! Someone’s failing their mental aptitude test!

[-] Anomander@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I always thought the "ice floes" was just figurative, but apparently there actually used to be ice there! TIL~!

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

This is turning out to be a depressing thread...

[-] BedSharkPal@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

A reflection of the state of the world then?

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yup. Too real.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Might just be autocorrect landing on the more commonly-used word but if you're interested, a floe is a sheet of floating ice. Sounds the same as flow but they are different things.

[-] SJ_Zero@lemmy.fbxl.net 3 points 1 year ago

Til! Thanks

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Hah, you have a point.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Too old to work under current technology? Don't worry your years on ice will not be in vain as we will awaken you as soon as the technology is available to get you back to work. You got to pay off that cryo stasis debt you didn't ask for after all.

I thought we were just all working until we die to feed the stock market.

Who do we call the enemy? 
My children, my children
Who do we call the enemy?

Who do we call the enemy?
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

I also like her other, similar comic which is about a dog.

(And she has a lot of other great comics too! https://sarahcandersen.com/)

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yes, I love that one! She is great, love just browsing through her stuff.

Underrated joke

Once I'm retired, maybe I can finally finish my backlog of 2000+ games on Steam

As a millennial this made me laugh far to much.

[-] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 3 points 1 year ago

This got me good.

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

That moment when you laugh so hard you cry

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a millennial... too... me too

I'm sorry, but not sorry
[-] Epicurus0319@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Mario and Smash Bros (millenials grew up with those, they’re currently 30-40) will be the new bingo

[-] dreugeworst@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Ahh won't have the reflexes for that.. Maybe civ?

[-] Misconduct@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

If none of us have the reflexes anymore it could actually be pretty fun lol

[-] bric@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I'm 100% confident that once elderly people make up a good chunk of the gaming market, games will be made that accommodate whatever reflexes they have. If enough people with Parkinson's want to play first person shooters, there'll be first person shooters that people with Parkinson's can play

When the doctor doesn't know anything about slang.

[-] MrSangrief@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

No worries, by then Latin is replaced by Equally Dead Internet Language as a prerequisite to become a doctor.

"I am a doctor, I have a PhD in ancient memeology"

[-] kubiyo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Ah! the good old cycle of replacing the old with a new thing! Only so we know who is hip like us. Only then can they be doctors like us 🧐 * gumball-sophisticated-laugh.wav *
