Here in Sweden I'm experiencing this with both older and younger generations. I know no one my age that has a kid, but so many younger generations have at least one. My little sister has two, and most of her friends do too. It's weird.

I suppose that makes sense. Support has gotten much stronger, in the last decade or two, for using multiple monitors.

that's wild. i wonder why the younger gen had that shift. how does that difference affect you? do you have kids? where do you feel left out?

Breeder rhetoric targeted at kids that grew up with Web 2.0.

The world is already overpopulated so

is it though? pretty sure that's yet another false narrative disseminated in service of the powers that be, but carried by well meaning liberals

[–] Enzy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think so, yes.

A faultering population can be a factor in societal collapse depending on the manpower required to run the society's infrastructure.

What happens when there's not enough people to man the power station that runs the car plants that pays the workers to allow them to go buy a cup of coffee? It's all interconnected.

Have you heard of neverending legacy? Its a (mostly unfinished) webgame by orteil42, creator of cookie clicker. Overpopulation is the real problem in the endgame, and its incredibly hard to cull the population without everyone dying of hunger.

Gonna need to push that space exploration budget instead of constantly going to war.

Then again, having more planets would mean a larger desire for power and greed would easily spark a space war.

Either way, humanity isn't the perfect race.

/End rant
