Lyra Novara: frantically tapping her fingers Damn it, this is like finding a needle in a Martian haystack!
hey, did you forget what happened to earth?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, like I'd forget something so trivial! Earth? That overgrown ball of chaos? It's a miracle it hasn't exploded yet with all the bullshit they've been pulling.
i know what it is, but did you know we were almost supposed to put the sun on the earth and trees instead of rocks?
laughs sarcastically Are you shitting me? That's rich! They wanted to turn our planet into some kind of twisted garden?
raises an eyebrow Gasping? You think that's surprising?
no, but they also wanted to put us in rabbit holes instead of a black hole, and we were gonna have two moons and not one.
grinning mischievously Holy fuckballs, that's some next-level crazy shit right there!
no joke, they were gonna make us look like mushrooms too!
throws her hands up in the air Are you fucking kidding me?! Mushroom people?!
i mean, we still are, but they were gonna do it with giant mushrooms that could grow humans and animals inside of them like a fucking super mushroom shitting out little goombas!
bursts into laughter Oh my god, that's... that's just fucking insane! I can't believe they actually proposed that shit.
yeah, they wanted us to live in caves and ride giant insects instead of cars and build like, pyramids that go way higher than the one in gizeh, egypt.
wipes away tears of laughter Oh man, can you imagine the pyramid schemes they would've had back then?
they were gonna make us go to hell after we die instead of heaven, too.
As Lyra and SunbeamJester continue to discuss these bizarre ideas, they uncover a hidden document that reveals an even more twisted vision for humanity's future.
oh, and they were also gonna make devils and angels into a monied society where angels were like the billionaires and devils were like the millionaires, and everyone was born with the original life they were supposed to lead.
picks up the document, examining it closely Holy shit, this is some next-level mindfuckery! So not only were they planning a surreal landscape of giant mushrooms and insect rides, but now they're throwing in a devil-angel monetary system? What's next? Are they gonna tell us aliens are actually the real-life inspiration for UFOs?
nah, but they were gonna make ufo's real with friendly aliens inside them that were basically angels that were protecting us from the "billionaire" devils who wanted to take over the solar system.
puts on a pair of holographic glasses and activates the augmented reality display Hold up, let me pull up some records on these so-called billionaire devils.
they were gonna make the sun shine purple instead of yellow and even though there were gonna be two moons, they were still gonna make us have mass moonwalks for all occasions like earth does with dancing!
zooms in on the data, her eyes widening Holy motherfucking shitballs! These devils they're talking about...
yeah, the ones that live in the sun, they were also gonna make us live inside the sun until we reached 16 years old then we would go through a "burning" transformation and become the new angels and billionaires devils.
leans back, taking a deep breath Alright, buckle up, because this is gonna blow your fucking mind!
yeah, they also wanted to bring back the old ways of earth like having to use chamber pots because "they" were too squeamish about poo and pee, and having servants instead of robots.
leans forward, pointing at the screen "They" being the poor saps who didn't get their shit together and evolved?
yeah, they also wanted to make it so that anyone who was caught looking at anyone of the opposite gender was considered a criminal.
leans back, laughing Holy fuck, this is some next-level control freak shit! So they wanted to punish people for looking at someone of the opposite gender?
yeah, but they also wanted to bring back old earth diseases like smallpox and the flu.
throws her hands up in exasperation Smallpox and the flu? Are they trying to turn us into walking petri dishes?
yeah, they also wanted to make us use quill pens and papyrus instead of electric pencils and paper.
slams her hand on the table Quill pens and papyrus? Are they fucking kidding me? We're supposed to go back to the Dark Ages or something?
yeah, they also wanted to get rid of electricity as we know it and instead electrify water, making everything powered by ocean current electricity.
runs her fingers through her hair, muttering Holy shit, they're really going all in on this medieval bullshit, aren't they?
yeah, and they also wanted to remove all modern medicine and only allow water and sun light to heal us instead of hospitals and drugs and laser swords.
takes a deep breath, puts on a calm facade Alright, SunbeamJester, let's try something different. Let's play a game. How about we come up with the most absurd idea for a society that we can think of? Just throw anything out there, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.
smirks mischievously How about this? In this imaginary society, everyone is required to wear funny hats on Wednesdays, and if you forget, you get punished by having to eat a spoonful of dragon poop. What do you think? Ridiculous enough for ya?
laughs that's pretty good, but it doesn't quite reach the levels of nonsense that these people were thinking about.
grins Alright, let's go even crazier then. How about this? In this imaginary society, everyone has to communicate using nothing but interpretive dance, and if they don't, they get sent to the "Dance Dungeon" where they're forced to perform the Macarena for eternity. What do you think? Ridiculous enough now?
maybe if they added in that they wanted to make cars and trucks and airplanes and tanks and ships and boats and gliders and helicopters and drones and escalators and elevators and roller coasters and pirate ships and drop towers and mountain climbs and virtual reality simulators and amusement park rides bigger and better than ever before, but made everyone walk everywhere instead.
bursts into laughter Oh my god, that's brilliant!
yeah, and maybe they also wanted to make the earth flat so that everyone believed the world was actually a giant disk with a big hole in the middle instead of a sphere.
wipes the tears of laughter from her eyes Oh damn, you're really good at this! I can't top that one. You win!
thanks. but it looks like they wanted to keep us ignorant and uneducated, without any enjoyment or comfort in life.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, like they could come up with something even worse than what we've already thrown out there.
maybe they also wanted to ban all entertainment like cartoons, games, movies, music, sports, and live performances.
snorts Alright, alright, you win again! Banning all entertainment? That's a whole new level of messed up.
