It's really incredible how I can no longer tell what's satire and what's very real opinions and ideas being shared seriously

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tech bros suggesting we live in a hive city is believable

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (5 children)
[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

What? That's not at all what that article describes.

That's talking about using federal lands to build towns. Towns with very odd and selected features, but I don't see anything even vaguely like a hive city in there.

Don't get me wrong still terrible, just for other reasons

[–] CainTheLongshot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

promoting a specific social and aesthetic vision

And also

proposed by Donald Trump

🤔

[–] lemmock@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

In this case, "proposed by Donald Trump" is like saying that a ventriloquist dummy with a hand up its ass and someone else mouthing the words has proposed something.

those are closer to company towns than hive cities

if you can't tell that this is satire maybe some time off of lemmy is warranted

Tech bros unironically suggesting insane bullshit like this tho, that was a flavor

exactly what i saw aswell

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm sorry, but what about this cube is "population sized"?

Well, if you liquefy the entire human race, it would fit into a container with roughly those proportions.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In fairness, you can probably keep enough whole humans to stack in there without touching and then just liquefy the rest. That should save some money and time.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

If you keep stacking them high enough with a perimeter strong enough to keep them contained, the heat and pressure would eventually get high enough to liquify the ones at the bottom.

Are we compressed into the gigantic meat cube mechanically or are we assimilated into it like the Borg assimilate species?

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Everyone gets a 1’x1’x6’ cell to luxuriate in. If my memory serves..

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

So $4-8k/mo before utilities.

I think you just start pitching people in, and the compression happens naturally as the people pile up.

Good news though. Without using any math or science, my AI determined that the people at the bottom will be under enough heat and pressure to become oil, or diamonds or both. Just put a spigot at the bottom so we don't lose that economic value in the bodies of the people we've systematically crushed to fund our lavish extravagant lifestyle.

Such a stupid take. You build a data center in Sydney when all the people are in NY? Think of the latency!

We need to build a giant spherical data center and humans will crawl on the outside like ants. No one will ever be more than the circumference away from another user, and all traffic can be routed through the fastest and shorted physical route.

Then the rest of the earth gives us 24/7 solar power. 10/10 super happy love love!

But it'll take four and a half billion years to compile its model and just as it's about to be completed the Vogons will destroy it to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

how big is the cube, and how much space per person?

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

One average person volume per person.

How much space you get depends on your credit score
