How?????
Futurama s6e7 (or just 95) "The Late Philip J Fry".
Now get off my lawn.
I'll have to take a look
It's one of my favorite episodes in the entire series, so definitely do have a look.
I wish I could skip 1000 years ahead. Either we fixed thing or humanity has died out. I win either way.
Or, it's the same, we're living and shit sucks.
True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.
So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It's all about perspective.
Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape
1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more
1000 years ago we didn't have a surveillance state, climate collapse, tiktok, 4chan, drone strikes, school shootings, car accidents, car dependent infrastructure, pollution smog, microplastics, fox news, subscription services, hiring AI, police robots, the gig economy, leafblowers, overdraft fees, airbnb, overseas concentration camps, white phosphorous, fracking...
Yeah, there's a lot of bad, but he's right. On average, the vast majority of humanity is significantly better off than we were a thousand years ago.

I'm hoping it's like "The Year 2525"
What about the year one million and a half? Giraffes might treat us better.
Can I get everything I need from the bottom of a long glass tube?
Yes but everything is shot straight up your ass. Food, news and entertainment. Straight up the ass through a tube.
1 man, 1 food, news, and entertainment
man. tube. food. camera. TV.

Reminds me of the pilot episode. When Fry wakes up in 3000 and says 'everyone I know is dead... YES!!!'
What if it’s full medieval and the king just ordered an expedition to the great library to bring back electricity?
Good news is, you’ll have memes back if you skip some years.
Well, the 2020s so far seem to resemble the 1930s surprisingly closely. So if we haven't destroy us by then, chances are things won't be that different.

How do you recognize a slave? There is no need for chains to make people work against their will.
Whoever dreads monday morning doesn't have to be worried about slavery anymore.
But we live in the 21st century?
That is correct
Futurama came out in 1999
You only enslave yourself by learning to do absolutely nothing against what you see as oppressive.
