People who do this are unfit to be parents.

Clearly, most of the people who shouldn't have kids are having them in lots without thinking, and the people who should have kids are being conscious about the impact of having them, and end up not having any because of the way the world is nowadays.

We're going to end up in a 50/50 split between idiocracy and Wall-E.

I've been telling my friends for years, the first company to make the wall-e chair will own the entire planet. Having worked in retail the average human needs that chair to live.

The number of people who physically can't walk around a store for 5 mins is scary.

I. For one. Welcome our new fat idiot overlords.

u/Ok-Drama-4361 1d ago

The overlord was a Hal 9000 style bot, and unfortunately in our case it’ll end up being made by that elongated muskrat

The people in idiocracy believed in the science when told to them by an “expert.”

Idiocracy and PCU were both future documentaries, not movies. We just didn't know it yet.

Reminds of that Steve Hofstetter joke, "Having a child is easier than ordering a pizza, because nobody has ever ordered a pizza by accident. Nobody's ever answered the door and said, "oh my god! how'd this pizza get here? ɪ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ɢᴏᴅ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ sᴛᴏᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘɪᴢᴢᴀ..."

u/darkwingdankest 1d ago

for real I'm sitting on a healthy salary and I still don't feel financially prepared to have children and some people are doing it on minimum wage. not that there's an income for having children but think of the life you're going to be giving them

-10

u/732jerzyboi 1d ago

It’s never minimum wage when you throw in your taxes as a salary, WIC, Medicaid, everything else that we pay for! Hell half of them quit because they make more in money assistance than actually working!! How sad!

u/thatonegaygalakasha 1d ago

I wasn't even gonna challenge you but fuck it, I have personal experience with this. My mom and oldest brother both receive goverment assistance (SNAP and SSDI) and it's still not enough. My mom has to work as an Amazon Flex driver and a Spark driver to make ends meet because there's an income cap on SSDI but it's so low that if she got an actual job making an hourly wage that would put her over the limit for SSDI while also not giving her enough money to cover all of our bills. On top of that, SNAP only gives her $100 a month, so we're lucky my brother also gets SNAP or we simply wouldn't have food. I can tell right now from this comment that you have never been poor or on government assistance ever in your life because very few people willingly go onto government assistance and there is no universe where that pays more than an actual job. They just keep you in this catch-22 of not making enough on disability while keeping you on a ridiculous income cap so you can't have actual meaningful work, so that you suffer and are constantly reminded that you're poor.

u/shayesaintcecilia 1d ago

It’s not Covid stimmy times anymore bro, what you are saying is a myth that hasn’t been true for years and was only true for like a year at most besides. And in any case, so what? I’d rather bankroll some irresponsible parents than let their kids starve because I’m not evil. You on the other hand sound like you’d rather spit in a kids milk carton and call it charitable.

u/thatonegaygalakasha 1d ago

I don't think there's anything worse than being loudly, boldly, confidently wrong.

u/letseditthesadparts 1d ago

Yeah. Thats probably true literally since the beginning.

i knew i didnt want kids as a kid

u/These_Pie_7385 22h ago

Chances are their just having kids for the money you get from the government. It's really shitty but true

Idk if this is fitting to state here or not. But I've become pregnant (not trying to but have happened was welcomed). We'll going through the doctor stuff and seeing the end total of what it's going to cost (pregnancy/birthing) and I came across documents my mom kept when she birthed me... comparing the prices from 1994 to 2025 is mind-blowing!

My parents medical bill for having me was $1,800 (give-or-take; but under $2k nonetheless). According to my sheet and payments, I'm making each month at my checkups to go into an essentially a birthing savings account is about $5,600 give-or-take. (Guess we'll see the real cost at the end of this pregnancy. If it stays that amount or if more).

Overall, just comparing this alone is another reason to question. I get its a blessing, but shit dude the price difference in 31 years! And they're removing birth control (or trying to anyways).

u/Foo_Mey 9h ago

Here in Spain all that is free, all medical appointments, all blood tests, all other tests, all ultrasounds, the day of delivery and the days you stay in the hospital of course, and then all appointments with the pediatrician and midwife are also free, all the vaccines and medicine that the mother and baby need.

Obviously I say that it is free when in reality we all pay for it through taxes, but oh boy I am happy to pay those taxes, for which I have also benefited from them, it makes me very sad every time I read comments like yours and know that people suffer like this even being a first world country

u/Darklordoverkill 1d ago

Sure wish I had done it when I was 20 and willing. Now I'm happy I don't have to worry for somebody else's future too. Whole the world is in shambles.

u/TrickyStickySwirl 10h ago edited 10h ago

Let’s be real, it’s because it’s hard and expensive so you don’t want to do it. Which is fine… you can easily rationalize all that with “plus the world is shit so xyz”. Nothing Nobel or selfless about that decision, it’s just a personal choice. Not judging anyone for not wanting kids, but don’t give yourselves too much credit.
