We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Yay Elysium!!!! I ALWAYS wanted that movie to be the dystopia we ended up with! It seemed TOO realistic.

Except the med beds will just be normal health care.

Elysium had it backwards. The billionaires don't want to live in space leaving the workers to live in poverty on the surface. The billionaires want the workers to run space factories while they turn the earth into a big hunting reserve.

Other than the whole "factories being in space" thing I could see where they might enjoy that.

But given the environment in 2045, I'm guessing it's going to be a lot closer to Elysium than Planet Hunt
