Yes! Produce more slaves for our overlords, or the world will end!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

They're producing exclusively Boss Babies

The Collinses refuse to give their daughters traditionally feminine names, because they believe social research shows that women with feminine names are taken less seriously

Their daughters are named Titan Invictus and Industry Americus.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 17 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That might even be true, but you know what names will be taken even less seriously? Titan Invictus and Industry Americus. 😂 Freaks creating freaks.

Invictus & Americus as standalone wouldn't be the worst names, but Titan & Industry? For women? Those "names" sound rough as sandpaper. These people are so book-smart, and without friends/contacts to keep them in touch with reality, they've become kinda dumb & fallen prey to delusions of grandeur.

Wiki on this couple is an amusing, terrifying, and short read. I was wondering what they do for work, what their contribution to the world is. The answer....not much... "Venture capitalism", so basically they're money farmers investing money to make money. A necessary role, but not directly producing anything themselves. And tech MGMT, again, probably not directly producing many works but cracking the whip & supervising other people doing work. Color me not impressed.

They claim they're not eugenicists, conflating eugenics with racism. Which simply isn't true, what a stupid thing to say. They are eugenicists, they actively screen & sort embryos, pursuing the best results. That is eugenics, and there's nothing particularly wrong with that. Very practical.

Both are the products of failed relationships, the man a classic failed marriage, the other a failed polyamorous marriage in Japan. They married after a proposal...over Reddit. Jesus Christ, am I on drugs? Is this real?

"Do you spank your kids?" "Oh, heavens no, how barbaric. Inspired by tigers in the wild, I slap my kids across the face. 😇" Lol!! Wth. 🙃 These kids will likely be mental trainwrecks (just like their parents) if they don't straight-up commit suicide.

As someone who grew up in a failed marriage sometimes I feel like it was a minor achievement for me to have a happy romantic life, but then I see people who look at how fucked up their parents were and say "hold my beer"

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

they could easily be Fallout characters lol. I am all into science and shit but Titan Invictus for god's sake? This is why we need parenting licenses to prevent people like these ruining childhoods.

Haha you're hillari...oh shit.

Industry Americus

That's the grossest name I've ever heard. Look, I'm not even getting into the "Americus" part. Sure, that is... well, it's not a name I would've picked. But more importantly, it follows the word Industry, and whether alone or paired to American industries specifically, the images conjured up from that word are far from pleasant.

I picture smoke stacks belching into smoggy, yellow skies. I see poisoned streams flowing through dying ecosystems. I see tired workers being overworked and exploited.

What a great name for a cute little baby to be burdened with.

I had hoped that was an onion link

Sound like warlord-class, to me

It's like they saw that scene in Idiocracy and took it literally

Mike Judge and his corrosive effect on the psyches of GenX will be the death blow for the nation.

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I love the idea it's all Mike Judges fault...
