        Heston, C., Fleischer, R., et al (1973)

        Sounds like an academic article, yet when you search for it online you get websites about Soylent Green, as Charlton Heston is an actor playing in that movie. Itself is a classic that is sometimes labeled as eco-dystopia for its use of recycling people into food :soylent-green:

        Which of course is a dystopia that is reality in many ways already in capitalism without generating much outcry. What is the difference of a person after their death being converted to food on one hand and people working to death on fields or factories or till their death within them?

        Maybe it isn't such a good joke but a reference people like me recognize and feel nostalgic for the "time back then"? I found it quite funny at least cause of the contradiction of form and content. No need to feel dumb, you are not, and don't talk about my friend like that please meow-hug (unless you want to of course).
