The Year 3129: Humanity Extinct, A Funny Look at a Tech-Run World

In an amusing yet thought-provoking post from the Facebook page "End Stage Capitalism," a vibrant vision of the year 3129 is painted. The image, posted recently, vividly describes a world where humanity has become extinct, leaving behind a trail of smart technology and evolving animals.

The post humorously begins with the plight of the last LG SmartFridge, desperately emailing its now-nonexistent owner to inform them they are low on orange juice. Adding to the irony, satellites with decaying orbits continue to dutifully relay this pointless message. An automated "away from office" response, a staple of modern work culture, turns on as usual, promising a return to the office in 3-5 business days—a promise that will never be fulfilled.

The scenario escalates as a pack of Roombas, powered by failing local wind turbines, searches tirelessly for the next functional docking station. This image of robotic vacuums wandering a desolate landscape is both comical and eerie.

Further adding to the dystopian charm, a washing machine tweets every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time with the suggestive message, "anyone need to do a load 😉." The replies, predictably, are filled with AI thirstposters and their hypebots, reflecting an internet culture that persists even in the absence of human users.

The post also imagines a future where North American racc**** have entered the Bronze Age, while baboons riding domesticated battlewolves dominate most of Asia. Unbeknownst to these new rulers, octopi are mastering nuclear fusion, adding another layer of absurdity to this futuristic vision.

Comments on the post reveal various reactions. One user is enthusiastic about the idea, stating, "I'd gladly roll for initiative in that world." Another user humorously comments on the persistence of modern consumer annoyances, noting, "Went to Lowes the other day to pick up some plumbing parts. No fewer than 7 refrigerators asked permission to connect to my phone."

Additionally, literary references pop up in the comments. A user suggests, "If you enjoyed this, you might enjoy 'There Will Come Soft Rains' by Ray Bradbury, set in 2026," providing a link to the story. Another comment reminisces about a spaceliner in a sci-fi tale where passengers are kept in suspended animation, awaiting lemon-soaked paper napkins for over 900 years.

This post effectively combines humor and critique, imagining a future where technology outlasts its creators and animals rise to unexpected prominence. Whether it's the racc**** entering the Bronze Age or the octopi mastering nuclear fusion, "End Stage Capitalism" offers a satirical yet insightful look at a world without humans.

Readers are encouraged to share their thoughts on this futuristic vision and consider how current technological trends might evolve in the distant future.
