“Logged Out Of My Toothbrush”: 102 Disturbing Posts That Prove We’re Already Living In Dystopia
Back in 1949, when George Orwell’s 1984 was published, the novel was deemed a depressing masterpiece and prophetic warning. Readers were horrified by the idea that the future might eventually reflect the themes in the book. Nowadays, however, we know all too well how accurate the story has become.
It seems like every single week, news headlines are more and more dystopian. Artificial intelligence becomes increasingly pervasive by the day, and governments around the world appear to be taking steps to remove individual freedoms, rather than expand them. And if you’re interested in seeing some harrowing examples of what’s happening to society, you’ve come to the right place. We visited the "That’s Dystopian" Facebook group and gathered some of their most unsettling posts below. From employees working past the age of 100 to citizens being encouraged to snitch on shoplifters, our lives are starting to feel like we're living in a Black Mirror episode.

From a practical / legal perspective, "surge pricing" is a bad idea. It could lead to false advertising lawsuits as people may have put items in their cart at one price, the price changes, and now they pay more despite the price advertised when they selected the product was lower. It's more in place to reduce the labor required to do the nightly price changes.
Nicole Weymann 1 day ago
Technically it's not much different from gas stations changing their prices while you're pumping or preparing to pump. It does open a lot of opportunities for cheating on both sides, with customers waving phones with AI images ("I took a picture! SEE? It was at $0.01, legit!") and Walmart price gouging ten times a day whenever some sort of rush is expected (end of school day = students and snacks come to mind).

It’s amazing that we can use our phones to give us directions while driving, play music whenever we want, provide us with access to all the knowledge in the world, and allow us to keep in touch with people all over the planet. Meanwhile, we need scientists to continue finding cures for diseases and creating new vaccines to keep us safe. But there are certain aspects of technology that feel just a bit dystopian.
According to a report from October 2025, more than a billion people across the globe say that they now use AI at least once a month. But many are using it every single day, whether that’s to help them write an email at work or to provide advice on how to handle issues in their relationship. People are starting to turn to computers to solve every single problem they have, and life is beginning to feel like a sci-fi novel.

I worked at a market while I was in school. The deli manager used to take the day's unsold fried chicken, put it in foil-lined bags, and then place those in the dumpster on top of clean flattened paper towel and toilet paper boxes. .The owner of the market found out about this and instituted a new policy: chicken was to go directly into the dumpster, and then the day's grease trap matter was to go on top of the chicken, followed by the day's coffee grounds.

Later on in life, I was delivering to a large chain market, and when I arrived at the loading dock the assistant manager was taking bags of bread, slicing them open with a box cutter, and dumping the bread into the filthy dumpster. When I asked him why he was going to all this trouble (even though I already knew the answer) he told me that if people could get bread for free they weren't going to buy bread in the store. As if the poor and the homeless had any money at all to buy any bread anywhere.

First, they note that humans are innately biased, and humans created artificial intelligence. Sometimes, these biases and prejudices are reflected in the technology, so it's important that we don't take everything an AI model spits out as gospel.
At the same time, AI is sometimes used to launch cyberattacks. Voices can be cloned, and identities can be faked to scam people out of money. AI tools can also be used to create convincing phishing schemes to compromise an individual's or an organization’s privacy and security. It’s becoming increasingly challenging to determine what was crafted by AI and what was created by a real person.

"Fun" fact: In the US, state and federal prisons charge incarcerated persons a "medical co-payment" (yeah, a fee) to see a doctor. Most prisons charge a fee that is equal to or more than a week's "wages". Wages might be between 17-cents and 1.10 per hour. You are supposed to get a medical necessity waiver if you have a chronic condition (heart disease, high blood pressure, HIV-disease, etc) that requires routine medical exams and treatments, but that doesn't always happen. Inmates cannot see a doctor just by asking. They have to convince a guard that they need to see a doctor, and then the guard has to make a recommendation to the infirmary. Moral of the story: don't go to prison if you want to get healthcare, just go to a hospital emergency room. If you are sick, they have to treat you as per EMTALA.

Another major concern that critics of AI cite is the environmental issues. The data centers that AI technologies run on use an incredible amount of water to keep their servers cool. In fact, one study found that just one language processing model emits over 600,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, which is almost 5 times the amount of emissions a car will produce in its lifetime.
It feels a bit dystopian to know that we’re wasting water and polluting the planet, so people can talk to ChatGPT. Meanwhile, a quarter of the world’s population still doesn't have access to clean water.

I disagree with this. If I had never had to read a book outside a class, many of which I had never heard or weren't the sort of books I would have personally chosen, there is no way I would have had exposure to the books that shaped my life. As well, the amount of learning about Greek and Roman philosophy and mythology might not have come my way, and definitely the math that they taught in grades 7 to 12 needed time outside class to be worked on, mastered, and used. I very definitely believe in homework and believe it is important.

Homework is one of the main reasons I'm suicidal, it's such a stupid concept that people try to advocate for with such reasons as "teachers don't have enough time in a school day to teach everything" (that's their fault, not the kids' fault) and "it reenforces what they were taught" (why are you shoving so much information in their heads that they need extra work just to remember it?)

Another reply to Zig Zag. Yeah in many areas of the US it’s actually illegal to collect the rainwater that runs off your OWN ROOF for your OWN USE. Of course you have to get caught doing so , but the principle remains the same. Say you have a nice house with a nice lawn and want a professional sprinkler company to install a system for you that uses the collected rainwater from your own property. Nope. Can’t do that. Professionally installed and permitted system is going to be hooked up to city water and you are going to PAY for every drop. If you’re handy and good at DIY you might put something together yourself but it’s technically illegal and you’re gonna get busted if you ever try to sell your property.

It’s not as catastrophic as that. You can collect what runs off your roof but the restrictions are for systems that do more than just have your downspouts run into a blue plastic container.

I can't think of a better way to let others know you don't have a healthy set of boundaries. Even if you had the best of intentions, you'd be enabling others down paths of entitlement, power trips, etc. If you did it long enough, coworkers would label you as a kiss-a-, over-achiever, non-player, ..., and they would target you every chance they got. From an ethical standpoint, the issues are even worse. Administrators would have a whole new way to avoid being held accountable for what they were being paid to manage, initial praise for unpaid overtime would likely turn into unfair expectations, etc. The one good thing about a sign like this is that, without a doubt, it would identify that this was an extremely toxic work environment.

I'm happy to pay license fees both in Danmark and in the UK, it gives me good TV without commercials. I'm still paying both even though I live in France, then I don't feel so bad about using a VPN to watch DR and BBC.

In Ireland you get to pay for the TV licensce and still get to enjoy commercials and has long as you have TV you need to get the license.

No we don't. We pay a yearly fee if we watch the state television channels. It's voluntary. Other countries FORCE payments of state broadcasting via taxes. I know which I prefer!

We have to pay if we watch any television, including live streams on the BBC web site.

The British TV license essentially pays for the BBC - A bit like subscription services but you get allot more with the BBC.

We don't. We pay a yearly fee to watch TV with no ads, with journalists who are not paid by billionaires. Like Americans can, except our fee is less.

In the eighties my family also paid a monthly fee for TV. My grandma told me that in the fifties, there was a monthly radio fee. Now, there is no "TV fee", but one has to pay if they want to watch anything on the telly, as every channel is digital.

Maybe if the employer made an effort to *make* it a place an employee would say that.
Michael Largey 1 day ago
Employees saying "Profits are up ... Costs are down!" doesn't make it true. In fact, employers don't want their workers to know that profits are up. It might make them ask for raises.

"Of course I don't mind working late".."I'm coming in early tomorrow"..both imply they were asked rather than demanded to.

At all my workplaces we regularly say the customer called or wrote that the job was done perfectly and they are really happy with our service and happily comes bak. Make a good workplace and give a good pay and employees will do good efficient work and keep customers happy. There will also be less sickdays.

I'd sneakily add my own "wishes" in here, to undermine and point out how preposterous this and to generally sow chaos for fun because they have provided apt opportunity. Anarchy!

Just make sure you don't step on the homeless man on the pavement. Ignore him and his plight, and have fun taking your cra**y photo. (Being sarcastic, just in case you don't realise. it.). What happened to compassion?

I don't think this is a homeless man look at his sneakers and cup. It's a movie scene or something.

It could be. But since when do homeless people have necessarily no cups and no shoes?

It's full of garbage, it's advertising pr*stitutes, it's covered in graffitti, it has a QR code for some reason, it's filthy, but it looks classy on the outside if you don't look too closely. Perfectly sums up London.

Zoom in and see it's a special tourist 'photo op' British phonebox. Rightly trashed. Love the ads on it too!

How did they get all that garbage inside? Opening the door it would just fall out.
Zig Zag Wanderer 1 day ago
I imagine an enterprising individual smashed an upper window. It's not a real box, it's set up for tourist photos and deserves trashing.

Why not just... buy real books? Much more fun. Mine are mostly sadly unread anyway. But at least I have the possibility of reading. And they are burdensome to move, why not at least have real ones if u gonna clutter up your house?!!

This shouldn’t be on this list. For people with treatment resistant depression, this could be a life saver.

"FDA approval for this treatment is still far down the road, but the study points toward new paths for treating severe depression. Krystal said that understanding the brain circuits underlying depression is likely to guide future non-invasive treatments that can modulate those circuits."

That's about as horrible as this terrible pill that interrupts automatically my brain function when my brain wants to have a perfectly natural epileptic seizure. Has any of you clowns even SEEN someone with a severe depression?

The treatment for resistant depression is currently ketamine. This does not sound worse than ketamine.

I made face masks to go with all my colorways, and ones for evening wear. I also made two for brides and one for a mother of bride. With diamante to match her shoes.

Looks like it. A little low, but at least he doesn't have a fever and I'm guessing that's what this is supposed to be looking for. 36.5 - 37.5 is average for the human body.
