    In the USA, it’ll become legal for corporations to fully own politicians and be treated as de facto nation states

      Why stop at owning politicians? Corporations already have a sort of Personhood. Just run the company itself for office.

    Sexbots / Robotic Prostitution.

    Might not be as advanced as in scifi, but…

    Its more or less a perfect loophole for strip clubs.

    Its not a person servicing you, you’re simply paying for temporary use of mechanical equipment, like a gym.

        Maybe not strictly illegal, but … as best I can tell, not really currently totally, explicitly legal.

        Kind of a gray area, I guess I mean that I think it will become more normalized and ‘more’ legal.

    Considering I’ll be an old fecker in 50 years, I sure hope euthanasia is legal by then.

      The mold that covers brie is dying out because we cloned it too much, we’re gonna lose soft cheese.

          Careful, you could end up with a lot of weight gain, getting feta and feta while you do.

        In the US, if a cheese isn’t pasteurized it has to be aged. And if it’s unaged it has to be pasteurized. There’s a slew of traditional cheeses that can’t be imported or sold here.

              Why are you laughing? I’m asking a serious question. What’s the benefit of unpasteurized cheese?

                • It’s much older than pasteurised cheese, obviously.
                • if done properly the cheese bacteria will prevent others from colonising it.
                • it tastes like actual cheese.

                  If done properly

                  I have no faith in US companies to do that properly.
