Mine's a tie between a near future and a not so near future sci-fantasy bazinga take:

so-true "Self-driving cars are the key to a post-scarcity future!" (when asked how the fuck that conclusion was drawn, I was told "do the research.")

so-true "Even if climate change is proven to actually be a problem, climate doesn't matter in space. We can have fully sustainable cattle farms in orbit producing as much meat as we need. Elon Musk." (yes, that bazinga fuck actually said "Elon Musk" at the end of that claim like it somehow stamped a seal upon the rest of the take)

"Self-driving cars are the key to a post-scarcity future!" (when asked how the fuck that conclusion was drawn, I was told "do the research.")

It's really simple.

Once everyone owns a self-driving car then they will be able to rent out their car as a self-driving taxi to everyone else, thus generating a perpetual cycle of passive income for everyone, at which point we will have achieved a post-scarcity future because everyone will be able to afford everything.

Dumb tankies call themselves materialists and they can't even figure this out themselves smh.

Ayo quick question, who makes the valuable things and who gets to decide how they're distributed?

The answer is self-driving cars make all the value, and self-driving cars can decide how it's distributed, doi!

This is why the movie Cars was actually a documentary from the future.
