This graph sucks. 2084 is listed twice but at different lengths.
2084 is a leap year dummy.
why is this a bar graph lmao
So you can see how many years long a bar is.
Hold on, are the years listed for The Matrix and Dune right? Isn’t Dune like thousands of years in the future? Like so far in the future humanity has forgotten where Earth even is.
Yeah the Matrix isn’t right unless there’s some obscure comic that clarifies the “closer to 2199, no one knows for sure” line.
Dune is supposed to be like the year 10,000 or something?
They also left off Idiocracy’s date, which was 2505 according to the newspaper.
No. The Butlerian Jihad is somewhere around 10,000 AD, the first book is somewhere around 20k~25k AD.
Also, in my headcannon Dune and 40k are the same universe and the story of Paul Atreades is how the god emperor came to be.
I was only off by 10,000 years!
I’ve noticed a lot of carried over themes in 40k, with the cautionary tale of rogue AI making computers untrusted and stuff like that. What I didn’t expect is how much the 1962 Lawrence of Arabia movie seemed to influence the first Dune book. That might be a stretch since the movie came out just a year before he started releasing Dune content, but a lot of that fit.
I mean… Lawrence of Arabia was a real person and his story was quite well known. Written into a biographical account in 1926.
It’s not a far stretch to think Herbert was inspired by those stories as well as those of the desert rats and fighting forces in the Africa campaigns of WW2, Conrad’s heart of darkness and well… Yeah everything in human history up to that point.
Dune is like 10,000 years past the Butlerian Jihad which is supposed to be an existential war against AI and humans that leaves Earth unrecognizable. Even generously that’s still not even close to this millenia
Sam Altman would beg to differ.
In Matrix the uprisal of the robots happens around the year 2000. I remember a scene though where Morpheus explains to Neo something like “You thino the year is 1999, but it’s more likely we write the year 2199. We don’t know it exactly to be honest”.
So this could actually be true
Oh so is that where the 2505 for Dune came from?
Dune is minimum 20k AD. When people say “Dune takes place in the year 10,000”, that’s 10k years after an event that took place at least after 10k AD.
I remember everyone making memes about passing Back to the Future. It was so fun cuz it was the 2010s. I don’t think anyone made jokes about passing Blade Runner’s date, 2019 wasn’t a good year to make jokes.
Imagine if they all took place in the same universe. What an insane timeline that would be
I feel it’s more like this:
I don’t think Idiocracy would take place after Star Trek. Before, maybe.
Joe / Not Sure was in the pod 500 years. So it’s after most treks: Enterprise 2150s, Strange New Worlds 2250s, Disco 2250s + 3190s, TOS 2260s, TNG/DS9/Voy 2360s and 70s, Lower Decks / Prodogy 2380s, Academy 3195.
(At this point Taco Bell will be fine dining by Demolition Man times)
I think the UK is on track for 2038 V for Vendetta.
Less than six years until I finally learn how to use the three seashells!
That’s not even close to right for Dune. What garbage.
Wikipedia has Zardoz in 2293. I’d say it got mixed up with Star Trek for 2263, except there isn’t quite anything set then yet, with TOS starting in 2266 and SNW only up to 2261 or 62 so far.
That’s a really weird way to use graphs. The data being presented is really just a timeline, I don’t quite understand the thought process that led to presenting this as a horizontal bar graph. There is no second dimension here, so you don’t need a two-dimensional graph.
Well, at least I can stop buying condoms soon!
Stop putting them over your head! You’re not howie mandell! That’s why your brain hurts. It needs oxygen.
