In 2000 years, after culture’s long slowdown, when the pre-AI-slop era gets mythologized as the last “real” golden age, people will be quoting Top Gear the way we quote the Romans today.

@f4micom Do you like my pentium

@f4micom They'll be calling authentic experiences Vauxhall

@f4micom Even better they will be saying this man is God

@f4micom BBC did not need AI to make post-Clarkson top gear a slop

@f4micom I have never heard anyone quote the romans organically

@f4micom I don't want to time travel to the future, but I would indeed like to hear who people are sagely quoting. 🤣

@f4micom Hammond you idiot you’ve reversed into the sports lorry!!

@f4micom Future intellects will analyse and philosophise what "Crikey, it's the rozzers!" mean

@f4micom "permission to say "oh cock" on BBC2"

@f4micom Sounds like a Douglas Adams bit

@f4micom The holy texts youtu.be/4CTSf1QRk9w

@f4micom In the cultural memory Clarkson will amalgamate with Strong Bad for the archetype of the quotable jerk.

@f4micom I hope they do

@f4micom Oliveeeer!

@f4micom Great news! The Dacia Sandero

@f4micom Stop reading that land or whatever

@f4micom even better if they quote bottom gear

@f4micom I already do

@f4micom So the future is gonna be worse than it is in “Idiocracy?“

@f4micom “Right, where’s some pornography..”

@f4micom “Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary, that’s what gets you” - Clarkson

@f4micom Anyway?

@f4micom Archeologists of the future will analyze "HAMMOND YOU BLITHERING IDIOT" in detail

@f4micom and as a great man once said, "You don't think it came out of James' luggage, do you?"

@f4micom the "speed has never killed anyone" quote will either be a philosophical statement or taken as a factual statement

@f4micom which arm have you broken?

@f4micom Me showing friends the funny little critters that live in my twitter app

@f4micom People already do this tbh

@f4micom now imagining a marble plaque somewhere in England saying “James wears a hat.”

@f4micom Clarkson you infantile pillock!

@f4micom "If you directed a porn film, it would be, you arriving at the house of the woman in the stockings and the negligee 'I've come to fix your boiler'. And then you'd just fixed it." - Clarksonius. S13E07.

@f4micom "Sometimes his genius was frightening to everyone." *audience gasps*
