I think that's the joke? We were promised bad and got so much worse

The most unrealistic thing about that movie was how much leg room everyone had on the space plane.

Nowa Huta: The city that went from communism to capitalism
Once a failed post-WW2 utopia, Krakow's Nowa Huta neighbourhood has found a new lease on life and is slowly emerging as a tourist destination.https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220112-nowa-huta-polands-utopian-socialist-city

Living on a flat is not that fun. Spain is one of the western countries with more flats instead of individual houses.
And it's reported that a big chunk of Spaniards live with noise issues which affect our health in a negative way.
Hearing your neighbors all the time in the supposed tranquility of your own home can be mind breaking.

I've lived my entire life in commie blocks and unless my neighbours were renovating I had no issue with noise. However, new apartment building here do have that problem, and it is very noticeable, so maybe the issue isn't with the concept of an apartment by itself, just the materials used in building them. Commie blocks are thick concrete and rebar.

Both of these existences look shitty

That's the joke.

Funny

Except both of these are the future we got, since they both exist.

OK. here is my incredibly weird perspective on those pods. I like them. Recently I even stayed in one and the only complaint I have is that they are made of plastic and would squeak horrible whenever the person above me moved. I like small enclosed spaces, they make me feel safe, and if the pod was made out of wood or concrete then I would absolutely live in one, as long as there were adequate services nearby: like a kitchen and a bathroom.
They don't take up a lot of space allowing for more people to live in a single house. They offer enough privacy to be comfortable and as an anarchist I welcome the chance to live alongside other people. My apartment is a mess because I cannot bring myself to clean it. Having other people to share responsibilities with would solve that.
-
I don't mind the idea of sleeping in one of these pods, I agree they seem cozy enough if constructed well.
I mind not having space away from other people entirely for at least some of the day. Even a small room that is my own that other people can't just barge into or the like.
-
I spent one day almost entierly in my pod watching youtube, just like I would at home. For me the pod is my private space. But I understand that most people probably find it too cramped, I imagine in an actual living arrangement there would need to be private common rooms.

None of those are good options.
-
The first one isn't for living in I don't think, just renting a place to sleep short term. Which, if anything, isn't that basically just the old idea of a hostel where someone can rent a bunk in a dormitory style room, but with a bit more privacy?
-
The first one is a capsule hotel, which is basically a more luxurious hostel. More privacy, sometimes lockable, but doesnt block snoring noises :(

That's bottom cell talk

The second one reminds me of the kennel at the animal hospital that I worked for as a teen

Don't eat bugs, don't give up your houses, don't drink your own piss, don't stop using your gas powered yard equipment.
the ultra rich ride around in private jets multiple times a day, waste an absurd amount of drinking water, own dozens of mansions each and will never give up on eating real food
-
Ok but gas mowers and blowers suck ass
-
Why do people even use gas mowers??? What benefit do they have over a electric mower and a long cable
-
But.... Mah Skrimps, they the fruit of the sea.

So we got turds instead of polished turds.

-
Our entire society is hostel to the unhoused.
