Probably wrapping and cooking our food in volatile plastics.
Hopefully.
Putting hot food on polystyrene plates
Allowing Israel to get away with shit.

Poison the cancer slightly faster than the whole organism! My dad cancer treatment gave him liver disease that eventually turned into a cancer that was way more deadly than his original cancer.
I like this one the most. Chemo can be absolutely brutal.
Using plastic to contain food. I’m always a little turned off when a takeout place uses plastic containers as opposed to the paper or foil ones. Plus it’s terrible to animals, especially marine life such as dolphins.
Single-use plastic, yeah. Things like Tupperware will stick around unless we go back to using asphalt for food preservation.
I think we’re going to see single use wax-paper or similar displace the plastic and Styrofoam for your delivery order.
Most of the paper ones are plastic coated.
Wiping our asses with PAPER.
Long live the three seashells
People probably wouldn’t believe we sold water in plastic water bottles or shopped with disposable plastic bags.
Hopefully, single use plastics would be a ridiculous thing in the future, maybe they will look back at it like we look back at asbestos.
Here is a funny asbestos ad from the past
Social media, at least in the current form.
That’s true. They already evolved and most of us didn’t even realize. News feeds were added and gradually evolved to use information they know about is to push our buttons and affect our behavior and beliefs.
They still needed content, but with generative AI that’s no longer necessary, this is why social media companies are so invested in it.
Social media is no longer social it became a platform to manipulate people. It is much worse than traditional ways of propaganda, because each person gets their customized feed tuned to issues that are more likely to influence them.

The state of the air we breathe indoors.
And outdoors now too
Teflon
I’m afraid the answer will be air conditioning and indoor plumbing.
I’m hoping the answer is money.
It won’t be, but I can hope.
Do you mean physical money in terms of paper/plastic/coins or money as a concept? If the latter, how would society function?
The latter.
And, star trek.
We could probably have or be close to a post scarcity society today if people weren’t so fucking greedy.
Greed was a useful trait when it was down to survival of the fittest before we developed agriculture.
After that, the usefulness of greed became less relevant over time, and I would argue that at this point, it’s counter productive.
Just saying.
Car centric infrastructure 🤣 lol back in the 2020s they had to travel in slow ass crowds of cars 🤣🤣🤣 nobody liked driving but they settled for it because it was the best they had! Although I wish I could have bought Tears of the Kingdom when it was new, I don’t even want to know what cars were like.
TIL I can italicize emojis and I’m gonna try it out right now 😆
Edit: I love it ❤️
Food industry in current form
It’s hard to feed large populations. If not for the current form of the food industry, we wouldn’t be able to. It’s good for a first draft, now we have to refactor (and we are slowly doing that)
20 years is a bit short but… Eating animals will be regarded as highly immoral, “but everyone knew those animals suffered, right?”, on the same level as we now judge slavery
I’m vegetarian, but I don’t see this happening
It’s sadly impossible until we guarantee food for everyone. It’s a luxury to choose where and what your next meal is.
This is so weird. Do people realize animals need to eat? Why don’t we eat that food directly? Eating animals makes for less food, not more. Like how 75% of soy is cattle feed, and then vegans get blamed for deforestation for soy beans. It’s ridiculous. Willful ignorance
Eh, only sorta. Plenty of animals can be fed on things we can’t eat. They tried raising rabbits in NK for example because they can survive off rocky ground that wouldn’t grow crops.
Third world problem though. First world countries could be vegetarian easily.
hmmm… over here cows and sheep are fed on banana leaves and some tree I cannot name. I don’t know about you but either of these don’t float my boat too well
