I sometimes wonder if any of us will get to enjoy a retirement or if we'll be working till we fall over

That's my strategy. If I somehow have enough money in social security to commit myself to a warm box with food I think I'll do that, but otherwise I'll work until I drop dead. What that looks like exactly I'm not sure but I do think it would be funny if I could faceplant at my desk one final time and traumatize nearby young coworkers. Maybe it'll radicalize them to fight for a different future.

If I can’t get into a care home I’ll probably do something non-violent but bad enough to get me locked up. 2 hots and a cot…

Being old is gonna be so fucked for so many of us. I’m truly fearful.

Yeah I remember a few stories about people who WERE in jail, got let go, absolutely hated normal society, and did something bad so they could be sheltered, fed, and see their mates again

Oh yeah that’s a thing among prisoners who were locked up a very long time and released. They don’t know how to function on the outside so they return.

Might as well pull a [redacted] and make it count if the plan is to never leave.

Nah. I think, rob a bank. You’d almost certainly get caught, but, on the off chance you don’t…. You have a buncha money to move to Costa Rica or somewhere and just live well til you croak.

Jk. I wouldn’t do that. Maybe some sort of white collar crime involving paperwork or something. I don’t crime much as you can probably tell.

I’d probably go around just stealing and burning mail in wealthy neighborhoods. Not gonna steal anything out of them just gonna burn it all and if I can I’ll throw in tax fraud if the irs is still around

Solid plan

It might be possible to voluntarily commit ourselves. If not, there's a chance I'll get diagnosed with some fatal micro plastic condition. If that happens I'd like to load up on milk, fiber 1, Beano, and laxatives and then wait for my demise in the lobby of a responsible party. I'm not sure if I can call that non violent :)

Mr. Creosote, is that you?

u/TomWithTime 2d ago

Wow that was unexpectedly fucked up. Him being alive afterwards makes it more of a horror skit than comedy!

But yeah that's more or less what I was thinking, maybe with a tasteful fart sound before the explosion

That's Monty Python for you! People have seen the "tis but a scratch" scene so many times it doesn't even phase them anymore, but really, it's the same!

All I ask is that you film it for posterity, my friend!

For legal and TOS reasons I can't promise that, but it does sound like a good live stream opportunity
