Your answer can be as serious, cracky, or detailed as you want

We'll be in spaaaaaace

We're already in space.

a different part of space!

A better part of space?

Like today, but more aggravating and slightly worse.

Also cycling will have died out after discovering that it causes people's hands to drop off and tongues to drop out. Without an evangelical pro-cycling lobby people will realize how deeply unenjoyable it is as a hobby.

My husband would beg to differ on the 'unenjoyable as a hobby' part.

Religious wars, resource wars, disease, huge rich vs poor divide. Those that can afford it living in controlled micro-climates, everyone else living in the heavily polluted rest of the world. We may have made it to space but only to rape the rest of the solar system for resources, leaving shells of planets in our wake.

We fucking suck as a race.

You do realize that we have vastly improved as a race by leaps and bounds over the course of the last several thousand years?

Past performance is not an indicator of future results. Plus that while the trend might be generally upward, there have been many instances of retrograde steps which have to be rebounded from. I think we're on one of those downwards right now. Of course it doesn't help that while average living standards might improve, that can still mean downward trends for some people. In this case while living standards go up markedly for those in the third and developing world, those in the developed world are experiencing a downward surge in their own lower classes standards which is hidden in the global upward averaging.

How, precisely?

Every anthropogenic evil that existed in the world then exists now. We've even managed to invent even more sinister ones that involve men in suits sitting in boardrooms talking about peoples lives in terms of profits for themselves and their shareholders.

*mad max revving sounds*

tbh i just really wanted to say that somewhere in this thread and ur comment seemed best

A lot like Star Trek but less advanced: destructive but non-devastatingmini-apocalypse of the economic and feuding factions variety, slow recovery and rebuilding, and cautious space age exploration and colonization of Mars and the rest of the solar system. Building of large high-capacity space stations. Contained micro-climates. Rigid adherence to sustainable-only everything due to huge paradigm shift in how we view the finite nature of our planet. Relatedly, massive investment in birth control.

IDK if we will have contact with aliens (this could probably only happen if it turns out we are massively wrongfooted or ignorant about certain scientific principles, or if we are encountered by a group of permanent exiles) but we will probably find evidence of their existence.

I think 500 years is too far to predict things about societal structure, culture, government, or religion and and ideas along those lines are just fantasy stories.

I think our technology related to biology, like things like manipulating DNA and integrating bionic body parts in flesh bodies will have advanced to a huge degree.

I think the environment will be a lot different and the environmental problems we've seen developing will not be reversable, but still survivable.

I think we will no longer use fossil fules because there simply won't be any more and the alternatives become viable for that reason, if nothing else.

"If man is still alive, if woman can survive, they may find..."

I don't know. They never got around to saying what 2525 will be like. It's the name of the song but it starts by describing 3535. I never noticed that before.

I am glad that I'm not the only one who had that song pop into their head. XD

oh good, I'm not the only one who thought of the song

I think electric cars will be more prevalent, unless Elon Musk dies in a freak accident in the next decade.

I am probably dead.

I hope my dog's still around though.

Flash fossilized, I'm afraid.

I don't know. But I am fairly sure that in the year one million and a half, humankind will be enslaved by giraffes.

Not All Giraffes.

Mass Effect. If only I could live long enough to sleep with some sexy aliens.

I'll be living in Crystal Tokyo giving praise to my wonderful Neo Queen Serenity for creating paradise on Earth.

I liked anon's secret from the other week.

Oops, got that wrong. 2525?

Nope. I can't see it.

That's because I'm cynical, and a believer in the Second Coming.
