Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's not. You live in what is probably by most metrics the best time in human history.
If you read unceasingly-negative material, you could develop a negative worldview.
If you live in one of the rich countries. Otherwise it's shit and you're lucky to get a job picking the fruit that feeds those rich countries which pay almost nothing (still better then opportunities back home). Basically they're picking up the scraps left behind by us, who live in those rich countries and think things like "this is the best time to be alive in human history", completely ignoring all the human suffering that supports our lifestyles.
Nah, I mean globally. Take your hypothetical fruit-growing country. Are things in 2025 in that country bad compared to 1925? 1825? 1725? 1625? If not now, when is the better time?
