    The year is 2026. You wake up to an alarm you asked the billionaire’s AI girlfriend to set for you. You swipe away the ads to silence it. You sigh, dreading your next shift at the fulltime job that is struggling to pay your rent, as you reflect on the cosmic joke that is $8 gasoline as you begin your car-dependent 2 hour suburban commute. DING! Your phone has a notification: the president just DM’d you a liveleak gore video. What a time to be alive.

      When I was a freshman in highschool me and a friend had to dig through the trenches of the internet to watch an old man get beat to death with a hammer in the woods. Morbid curiosity got the better of us and as a result the 2 guys 1 hammer video fucked me up for a while, but at least we had to dig around in little known websites to watch it. Now, kids are undoubtedly getting served videos like that through the president’s own social posts.
