doesn't that seem like a downgrade in mankind?

never have to go to the store because drones can deliver that in the future!...don't have to go to work because you can do it from the internet

don't have to do anything that requires you to leave your home because there's always an online alternative that people will prefer

Lol it's like two toddlers interacting with each other in a sandbox.

NMB doesn't understand the concept of going outside for recreation.

Stores wouldn't exist. It would be shipped directly from the warehouse, which would actually, in theory, cost less, because there's no middle-man to pay.

I already have a job that I can work from home. A lot of people do actually. I tend to only work from home when I am sick or something like that though because I prefer going to the office and interacting with my co-workers. Staying at home all day long gets boring.

There are many jobs that will never be able to work from home. Factory jobs, construction jobs, really any type of manual labor job, etc cannot be done at home. Really only the white collar office type jobs are those that can be worked from home.

Like another person said, people would still leave their house for recreation. People go to theaters, concerts, parks, etc and those all require leaving the house.

Many people also like shopping. Online shopping is good for some things, but not everything. Some things you really need to see and try in person before you buy. You can buy groceries online, but personally I wouldn't do it. I want to buy my groceries in store so I can see exactly what I am getting. Clothes are another thing. I like to try on clothes to make sure they fit before I buy them. Plus, some people just like to "window shop" (i.e. just go shopping as an escapism without really buying anything in particular). Brick and mortar shopping is declining, but it's never going to actually die.

He doesn't have enough self-awareness to do it on purpose. We have seen him make attempts at "joke threads" before, and they were always really really really really bad jokes that weren't funny in the slightest. I'm almost positive that NMB is on the spectrum.

Bleh. Why would you wanna socialize with people? They're annoying enough online without being face to face. I'd leave the house to burn off some energy though.

Sounds like options to me, objective upgrade.

It already has. You can have an IV to directly inject all the nutrients your body needs. You then don't need to eat and therefore don't need to poop. Hospitals literally use IVs for this purpose all the time.

I mean why is NMB always making topics about things that don't concern him? I'm not even joking. This isn't being mean or anything. The guy doesn't leave the house anyway so what does it matter? He'll never answer these questions though.
