      The problem with kids these days is that they don't have to knife fight on a giant sand worm. In my day that's just how you got to school. Our parents would give us a knife, push us out into the desert, and say "Don't come back until it's dinner time". Taught us backbone and moral character and how not to get eaten by a sand worm. Well, except for all of my friends that got eaten by a sand worm of course.

    WTF is she talking about, being named Paul in a far future SF story is basically the polar opposite of being named like a poop sample collector drone irl.

    Clearly, the Elongated Muskrat has set up the world's most fucked up succession exam system for his children to earn their inheritance.

        The burning! The burning!

        He thought he could feel skin curling black on that agonized hand, the flesh crisping and dropping away until only charred bones remained.

        Which was true, as contained within the box was a lithium fire.

      eh, that'd mean the kid is sting, which is still too kind...

      anyway, as far as musk is concerned, grimes is just an axolotl tank...

    Grimes thinks her kid will be the messiah. Bro your kid will be afraid to leave the house due to being relentlessly bullied because of his name. His destiny is to be a Reddit mod

      Nah, the family riches will shield him from most of the bullshit. If you're poor you're weird, if you're rich you're eccentric.

      If I had to guess they'll probably do like a lot of famous people's kids and just avoid the public eye and probably get some do nothing job in media, change their name to something more banal and just live their life.

      That or they'll go total nepo baby and do some weird art piece where they shit on a velvet portrait of their mom, idk.

      I can't say with certainty, but my guess would be that "horse dentist" is a pseudonym. I don't think anyone could be so disconnected from reality that they think giving their child such a nonsensical name is a good idea.
