I’ve said it before, I’ll say it a thousand more times: No piece of dystopian fiction has ever been a prediction of the future. They are observations and criticisms of the present. 

[luxlightly]

“Wooow! How did Orwell predict the surveillance state so well in 1984??” 

He didn’t. He was making an observation of the surveillance state that already existed in his present, and exaggerated it to make the metaphor obvious.

Learning and discussing these works in terms of them being predictions and having test questions like “do you think his prediction came true?” is not only pointless, but actively counterintuitive. When you frame these works as being ‘people from the past knew that the future would be terrible’ you shift the entire perspective to one of some kind of nostalgia for a past that didn’t exist. 

These author’s aren’t oracles. They’re satirists. Their predictions ‘come true’ because they were already true when they wrote them. 

[luxlightly]

It’s the same when people see tweets from last year like “It’s okay if people die as long as we can keep Outback Steakhouse open” and people posting the date of the tweet like “these tweets predicted the future!”

Those tweets observed the present. Because the capitalist idea of sacrificing lives for profit isn’t new. It’s just been taken to its extreme by the pandemic. The idea of “if something bad happens where our government and our upper class need to prioritize life over profit or thousands will die: thousands will die” is hardly prophetic, it’s basic perception. 

Are these tweets eerie in how accurate they are, even coming from years ago? Yes, of course. Chillingly so. But not because they predicted something no one could have expected, but because it was already happening to such a degree and so obvious for so long that something would give, and the majority of us could do nothing but sit and wait for it to happen.

I read that capsaicin makes your mouth feel like it's burning because it increases your nerve sensitivity to heat, and menthol works by doing the same thing to cold

So if I eat a habanero pepper and then chew a bunch of breath mints they'll each other out and I'll be fine

[doggirlpaws]

Hey guess what hellfire tastes like

[nudibranchparty]

Fun fact! The nerve endings for "ouch too hot" and "ouch too cold" are different! Which means that they can both be activated at once, without cancelling out. Rip OP.
