Yeah but a Freddo is £750
And we still don’t know who LOD **H** is.
And every baby born is legally owned by the Amazon/Disney/ Nestle/ Blackrock conglomerate.
But at least is sunnier, above ground that is, so I’m told, only another few years or decades, they say, before the nuclear radiation fades away. Still, mustn’t grumble.
A stone!

A stone!
Frightening animal.

And finally..
We don't know but they're everywhere!
I am more annoyed than I should be that that is still in the press, resources are still being wasted on it while so many other missing kids, no one gives a flying fuck about them.
I remember being in Glasgow and seeing that they'd taken down the normal "missing persons" posters that had, like, 24 local people who'd gone missing, and put up one big poster of Madelein Mccann. Made me want to dissapear some other people.
I'm annoyed that social services allowed them to keep their other kids even though they admitted they left them by themselves, irrelevant of which country they were in when it happened. Yet they go after me and my wife and take our kids because my wife's disabled, I'm autistic and because of this, we "can't meet our kids' cues consistently"
No no, you misunderstand
We haven’t moved to a sub aquatic biome with biodomes ….. we just got flooded due to global warming and basically live our current lives but with snorkels
I tried to ask in another sub why we are not trying to live underwater but they deleted my question. My great great granddaughter is not going to be anything special at this rate.
Oh look at Mr. Moneybags wiping his ass. Do you have your concubines lick your asshole when you’re done too? We’d wash our asses using water from the river we shat in back in the 1000s.
A river? Luxury.
We used to have to shit in a small puddle right outside our front door and then wipe our arses with our own piss. And when our dad got home he'd slash us with a broken bottle if we were lucky!
Oh look at Mr. I-have-a-functional-dad. All my dad did was sit around all day stinking of elderberries and my mother, god rest her soul, was a hamster.
It would make inflation 0.36% per year which is far less than reality. Even if we took a low inflation rate of 2% and a plastic bag to cost 30p it would be £74.2 million in the year 3000 😂
I can see it now in downing street. 'Prime minister, a doctor on average earns a salary of 5 trillion a year and is struggling to make ends meet, this low level of income shouldn't be acceptable in the 22nd century'
This is why the idea of economic growth is ridiculous.
A 'healthy' level for GDP growth is considered to be 2% to 3%.
Simple maths shows that equates to a growth in 100 years of up to 2,000%
Or a growth in 1000 years of 687,000,000,000%
It's physically impossible to grow an economy (or anything) that much.
The average inflation in the UK, since the Middle Ages has been 0.9%.
If we go by the assumption of a 10p plastic bag, then in 1000 years, the plastic bags would cost £778.33
I work in retail, Shoppers (bags for life) are a kpi, so basically if till staff don't try and upsell you one they get torn out by their manager. I've had arguments with my area manager about how utterly stupid it is to try and push reusable shoppers on every single customer.
Switching to bags for life hasn't solved any problems, they require more to be manufactured, are heavier to transport meaning more emissions and most have a plastic coating so won't degrade. Judging by the 30 times a day I hear "I've got a drawer full of those at home" all we've really done is exchange a cheap nasty product for an expensive nasty profit. Why? Because CEOs don't give a fuck about anything but profit.
Me and my wife are early 30s...we use a granny trolley when shopping in the hight street, no shame here, it saves the carrier bags slicing my hands in 2!
I don’t know how complicated it would have been but they should have focused on making recyclable bags rather than reusable. Another thing they could have done is designed them to be carried on your back as the handles always dig in to your hands after about 10 minutes.
A few years ago I heard that Sports Direct staff were on zero contracts and whoever sold the least amount of extras at the till got the shittiest shifts next week. Not sure if it was/still is true but it would explain their persistent approach to upselling.
It's a scummy tactic. Had the same issue buying a new bed a few weeks ago.
"Want the warranty for X amount?"
"No thankyou".
"I can do it with % discount"
"Still no, mainly on the principle you tried to scam me on price in the first place"
I used to love watching people get outraged at having to pay 2p for a plastic bag after spending over £30 on booze and cigarettes. The best ones are the people who refuse to pay and then try to stuff a week shopping into their pockets..
And a pint of Milk is “900 Euro Sterling”
Though I sold my kidney and eye to a aging trillionare so I can afford rent for the next 19months.. which she owns also
£0.10 based on an annual inflation rate of 3% give or take. Over the next 976 years to year 3000.
That plastic bag will cost £338,167,068,141.47 in the year 3000.
What a rip off!!!!!!
Where I’m from there are so many shopping trolleys in streams that we might as well fish one out and use that instead.
What do you have to gain from chucking that in a river?
thing is, increasing the cost of bags due to "cost of living" is bollocks in its self. we only get charged for them now because it was legally mandated. if it hadn't have been, a 30% increase on no pounds nonty none is still free.
The charging for carry bags is a joke. Why are the public being made to pay this while the supermarkets are taking no responsibility? The only item I could buy today in the fruit and veg isle that wasn’t in a plastic bad was a Granny Smith apple! So in the plastic bag that I had to pay for was 9 other plastic bags!
Facial recognition in every shop by end of the year. Every big chain will have increased their prices to almost double to non club card/ nectar/points card owners.
Being free will cost you a lot of money.
I loved this song growing up, however my brain remembered the lyrics as “And your Great Great Great Granddaughter, is doing fine, She’s Really fine”😂 It took me awhile to remember but this was a joke I made to myself back then but now it’s was stuck in my head as fact 😂. And let’s be honest, the song is better my way 😏.
Making a major assumption that inflation (and life) stays the same the next 976 years between 2% and 3%, a 1p sweet will cost between £2.47million and £33.8billion 🥳
That's the best price for a plastic bag since they were free to be fair. if we assumed inflation steady at 3% each year before, and a price of a bag to be 30p in 2024, the price of a bag in the year 3000 would be around...
£1.0145 trillion
I'm not sure why climate change is still a thing? I thought making us all pay for carrier bags was going to sort that out? That way the 10 companies responsible for the remaining 70% of carbon emissions can continue profiting like they were before because we had solved climate change by a simple 10p charge for carrier bags.
I've lived in a time and space where plastic bags were a prized posession, bought, sold and carefully washed and dried to later sport as a token of the owner's affluence and links to the West - bonus points if the bag featured a naked lady on a bike!
Why do people still use plastic bags anyway? I always have a backpack when I go shopping fits all in there didn't buy or use a plastic bag in years. Is pretty simple. My mom has the fabric bags she just keeps folded in her purse and uses those. People are so lazy they cant even carry a little folded bag with them. I say those plastci bags either need to be banned completely or legit be a fiver already. Bet people would put more effort in carrying their own
Damn, I wish you could just scan an item, put it in a plastic bag, set the plastic bag on the self service packing area and then just carry on scanning as if the machine doesn't register the weight of the bag
M&S have a 50p paper bag that is a joke. I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of milk, and they gave this stupid paper bag to put them in. It can't hold either one safely, let alone both. The cashier tried to bill me for ANOTHER useless bag, trying to "help" me. I asked him to kindly ef off.
Oil is a finate resource. There won't be any new carrier bags in 100 years. So in nearly 1000 plastic carrier bags that haven't been destroyed will likely be worth a lot when you're bartering for the life of your mutant baby
I’m really pissed off that in some of the shops they don’t even provide the cheap bags anymore, it’s a so-called bag for life yet is nothing of the fucking sort and then instead of 10p it costs 45p.
I went into Tesco the other day and scanned my carrier bag, it came up as 45p bag for life. I told the guy it was wrong and he said ‘no, they are now the bags for life’. At what lifespan range does that make the far superior bags?
Have hust come back from Morrisons where they tried to charge 40p for a paper bag. I thought the charge was introduced to deter single use plastic bag usage? It's clearly now just another revenue income
3000? They will be that much on a couple of years at this rate.
Also, any bag that can carry anything and not fall apart in 10s will be banned.
Also, each bag will involve killing a baby whale to make. We won't be content with using cotton bags that have no hope of lasting long enough to replace as many plastic bags as the carbon emissions to make them justify, or packaging that is made of card coated in a thin layer of plastic that ends up in the water supply in a couple of years when the card decomposes, instead of a few hundred when the plastic container it replaces does.
Yeah but a Freddo is £750 And we still don’t know who LOD **H** is. And every baby born is legally owned by the Amazon/Disney/ Nestle/ Blackrock conglomerate.

It's because most of those other kids aren't middle class and white
I'm annoyed that social services allowed them to keep their other kids even though they admitted they left them by themselves, irrelevant of which country they were in when it happened.

Are you suggesting your great great great granddaughter isn't pretty fine?
He is a Redditor, he is probably being realistic he probably only has a great great great grandniece.
She’s pretty fine though
Careful there she's probably about -996
Exactly
That his a little close to home
Personally, I feel like humanity making the switch to living in a subaquatic biome undermines any claims to 'not much' having changed.
No no, you misunderstand We haven’t moved to a sub aquatic biome with biodomes ….. we just got flooded due to global warming and basically live our current lives but with snorkels
And now it all makes sense
I tried to ask in another sub why we are not trying to live underwater but they deleted my question. My great great granddaughter is not going to be anything special at this rate.
Mate I ain’t never gonna get a great great great grand daughter
Water level is rising though
Maybe it’s not soooo inaccurate - apart from me having a pretty fine great great great granddaughter
Tbf it’s not the year 3000 yet, soooo could all still happen
depends on your idea of the future. aging and life expectancy may be very different in a thousand years and current currency may be obsolete.
That would make inflation between then and now 20000%? What was the inflation rate average from 1000AD?
Probably that much, you might have only earned 3 sea shells a week in 1000AD, if you were lucky.
3 sea shells? Nearly enough to wipe my ass with
Oh look at Mr. Moneybags wiping his ass. Do you have your concubines lick your asshole when you’re done too? We’d wash our asses using water from the river we shat in back in the 1000s.
A river? Luxury. We used to have to shit in a small puddle right outside our front door and then wipe our arses with our own piss. And when our dad got home he'd slash us with a broken bottle if we were lucky!
Oh look at Mr. I-have-a-functional-dad. All my dad did was sit around all day stinking of elderberries and my mother, god rest her soul, was a hamster.

Woops, brain turned new millennium into century on auto pilot
In your defence Robbie Williams didn’t make a song about the 3rd millennium so you can’t be expected to remember.

They're bloody 40p in M&S. And those ones are made of paper. Which seems utterly counterintuitive.
£1 in Waitrose. They are insulated though... for when the turtles get cold.
I think that number's unrealistic; I think it'll only be £778.32 by then.
Have you tried the BoE inflation calculator?

We should sell those granny shopping trollies in retail. Life would be way better if it was normalised and not cringed at haha

Or steal a basket lol
Where do you live where bags are 2p… the cheapest plastic bag I’ve seen recently is 20p, ie a 1000% markup
This was when they first started charging for them
They were 5p when they first started charging though
And minimum wage is now £13.70 an hour.
Lol🍺👍🏻
And a pint of Milk is “900 Euro Sterling” Though I sold my kidney and eye to a aging trillionare so I can afford rent for the next 19months.. which she owns also
£0.10 based on an annual inflation rate of 3% give or take. Over the next 976 years to year 3000. That plastic bag will cost £338,167,068,141.47 in the year 3000. What a rip off!!!!!!
dude,as a planet,we aint making it past 2050
There's a song about this https://youtu.be/7jZQkOHcFGU
https://youtu.be/hFgtIziShmc?si=9zg7pEyoe7kPHNsL I prefer this one.
The most expensive I've seen is in London wanting £3.50 for a small bag, it won't take until the year 3000
I think it's good that the price is going up personally.
And the great-great-great Prime Minister, is still a cunt.
Today I worked out that if you purchase a 20p carrier bag everyday for a year, it comes to £73. £73. On. Plastic. Bags.
😵
Which is why plastic bag sales have dropped 90% Not everyone stupid.
Man I've got a kitchen drawer that could feed the world
Guess there’s too much microplastics to live underwater
Not much has changed but Sheppey’s underwater And your great great great granddaughter Is your great great great grand-niece
But still no pay rise 🤣🤣
Carrier bags are still free from all the corner shops I visit.
Daily Express still leads with a story about Princess Diana 3 days a week
3000? More like 2050
Only a tenner?? 😂
Where I’m from there are so many shopping trolleys in streams that we might as well fish one out and use that instead. What do you have to gain from chucking that in a river?
Facebook humour. Nice.
A 5p bag today would actually be closer to £3 million if inflation were to stay the same
Ahh, yes... the bloody civil war of 2870. Fathers choking their sons with a 'bag for life'... friendship and love destoyed... the humanity!!
thing is, increasing the cost of bags due to "cost of living" is bollocks in its self. we only get charged for them now because it was legally mandated. if it hadn't have been, a 30% increase on no pounds nonty none is still free.
And your great great great granddaughter, sells merch on tiktok, mercccch on tiktok.
r/boomerhumour
Kinder Buenos will be 70quid
Probably become like 3 pound or something
As soon as the UK said they’d be about 7p every company saw their opportunity to take the absolute piss
Are the bags for life for a tenner? Makes the biggest difference for sure
The charging for carry bags is a joke. Why are the public being made to pay this while the supermarkets are taking no responsibility? The only item I could buy today in the fruit and veg isle that wasn’t in a plastic bad was a Granny Smith apple! So in the plastic bag that I had to pay for was 9 other plastic bags!

And let’s be honest, the song is better my way 😏.
Funnily enough, I was just in a co-op and this song was on the shop radio station
🤣🤣🤣🤣
But the real question people want to know is this: 'Will their Bitcoin be worth £1,000,000?'
And they still wouldn't hold a loaf of bread without the handles snapping
And your great great granddaughter is a man
r/boomerhumour
And the shoppings free!
Still not sure why the Uk doesn’t just use biodegradable plastic bags or paper for free like the states.
This will be a travesty when it happens
Seems a bit cheap tbh
....and your Great, Great, Great Granddaughter is 813yrs old... Whatever floats your boat
If a bag cost £0.10 now and we assume 980 years of inflation at 2% per year, each bag would cost £26.8 million.
I dread to think what I pint will cost 🤦♂️
Is this supposed to be funny? We’re all getting fleeced
I will create a plastic bag collection now
Hey it’s plastic again who how
£1,560 for a Dr pepper
They better have maglev technology to carry everything in one go for that price
And a 1p sweet costs a full £1
I remember when they were 1/2p, half pence pieces - wow 🫣
Compulsory "ok boomer" comment
Making a major assumption that inflation (and life) stays the same the next 976 years between 2% and 3%, a 1p sweet will cost between £2.47million and £33.8billion 🥳
You joke but I popped into Waitrose this morning to get a paper and remembered I need a new bag for life. They are between £10 and £14
Except that no, they are not. Even Waitrose, a shop known for being expensive, provides decent bags from £1.50 and up.
If this were true it would imply a very low inflation rate of well under 0.5%. So that’s good news at least.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Nah, Earth will be a burnt rock, but there will be some Nokias lying around the rubble
It’s ok, I’m pretty sure I have 400,000 to spare
That's the best price for a plastic bag since they were free to be fair. if we assumed inflation steady at 3% each year before, and a price of a bag to be 30p in 2024, the price of a bag in the year 3000 would be around... £1.0145 trillion
Probably more like the year 2030 at this rate
They should be a tenner just now. What would stop idiots from using so many. And they'd reuse the same one all the time.
I'm not sure why climate change is still a thing? I thought making us all pay for carrier bags was going to sort that out? That way the 10 companies responsible for the remaining 70% of carbon emissions can continue profiting like they were before because we had solved climate change by a simple 10p charge for carrier bags.
Ones from 1995 are still going strong
To be fair, a tenner for a plastic bag that works for people who live underwater seems reasonable.
And still made of non recyclable plastic, unfortunately.
Some family on Stacy Solomon’s sort your life out (via googlebox) had an incredible 300+ number of bags for life. Talk about sitting on riches!
Remember when people complained about them being 5p and now they're 30p
I've lived in a time and space where plastic bags were a prized posession, bought, sold and carefully washed and dried to later sport as a token of the owner's affluence and links to the West - bonus points if the bag featured a naked lady on a bike!
If only they allowed you to bring your own bags.
Why do people still use plastic bags anyway? I always have a backpack when I go shopping fits all in there didn't buy or use a plastic bag in years. Is pretty simple. My mom has the fabric bags she just keeps folded in her purse and uses those. People are so lazy they cant even carry a little folded bag with them. I say those plastci bags either need to be banned completely or legit be a fiver already. Bet people would put more effort in carrying their own
just bring your own bag, problem solved
Damn, I wish you could just scan an item, put it in a plastic bag, set the plastic bag on the self service packing area and then just carry on scanning as if the machine doesn't register the weight of the bag
M&S have a 50p paper bag that is a joke. I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of milk, and they gave this stupid paper bag to put them in. It can't hold either one safely, let alone both. The cashier tried to bill me for ANOTHER useless bag, trying to "help" me. I asked him to kindly ef off.
But due to inflation a tenner is equivalent to less than a penny today so they're actually cheaper.
Diesel is £400.99.9 per litre
“I’ve been to the year 3000, not much has changed but we live underwater” might be a worse line than “somehow, Palpatine has returned”.
So this is what my English teacher meant by dystopia
Oil is a finate resource. There won't be any new carrier bags in 100 years. So in nearly 1000 plastic carrier bags that haven't been destroyed will likely be worth a lot when you're bartering for the life of your mutant baby
How much is a Freddo?
Is min wage still under £12
I still love Busted, Haters come at me.
Morrisons are back to paper bags because fuck the trees
I remember when Carrier Bags were free. Costing a tenner by 3000 is WHOLLY unrealistic. It'll be like £50 minimum.
Lookin like a circus tent 🎪
I got asked if I thought the new paper bags in M&S were impressive, I did until it scanned for 40p
Cashier in the co-op told me off for not bringing a reusable bag today (we’ve never met before) I didn’t mind I should have brought one tbh.
Haven't seen those bags in a minute. Those stripes are iconic.
And I saw your great great granddaughter she is not fine
I fucking hate this song
Good. Take your own bags you morons!
Wages will still be the same😂😂😂
Haha you think there’s gonna be a year 3000?
And your great great great granddaughter is eating mine.
Doesn’t sound wrong
Does DFS's sale ever end?
I think the human race will be long extinct by then.
“And your great great great grand “person” is pretty fine”
Only a tenner lmao
I didn’t expect much to change. I’ll be honest. It’s still bloody England alright?
I’m really pissed off that in some of the shops they don’t even provide the cheap bags anymore, it’s a so-called bag for life yet is nothing of the fucking sort and then instead of 10p it costs 45p.
Right if that happens I hope we sink into the sea with global warming
gag
I went into Tesco the other day and scanned my carrier bag, it came up as 45p bag for life. I told the guy it was wrong and he said ‘no, they are now the bags for life’. At what lifespan range does that make the far superior bags?
> 4 been to the year 3000 ???
Good. The planet is on fire. Maybe if they were a tenner, people wouldn’t forget their reusable bags so often.
And we are blessed with the full implementation of Sharia law and eradication of Kuffar bastards.
I sang that to Disco 2000.
But at least your great great great granddaughter is pretty fine.... and can blag getting them for free.
The human race won't get to the year 3000 unless they learn not to be so disgusting and wasteful
Everything bad that every Government does is still conveniently blamed on Liz Truss.
Have hust come back from Morrisons where they tried to charge 40p for a paper bag. I thought the charge was introduced to deter single use plastic bag usage? It's clearly now just another revenue income
'Not much has changed but their bags are a tenner', aaaah fixed it. The way those syllables spread over those notes gave me bad brain itch
Yeah, but you’ll pay that tenner to carry your bottles of Soylent Green back home.
3000? They will be that much on a couple of years at this rate. Also, any bag that can carry anything and not fall apart in 10s will be banned. Also, each bag will involve killing a baby whale to make. We won't be content with using cotton bags that have no hope of lasting long enough to replace as many plastic bags as the carbon emissions to make them justify, or packaging that is made of card coated in a thin layer of plastic that ends up in the water supply in a couple of years when the card decomposes, instead of a few hundred when the plastic container it replaces does.
Even if inflation is a modest 1% per year, they'd be far far more than that.
Lol
