These 15 unfortunately recurring themes show modern life’s boring dystopia
The r/ABoringDystopia forum on Reddit describes itself as –
‘A subreddit for chronicling how Advanced Capitalist Society is not only dystopic, but also incredibly boring.’
While we’d have opted for ‘dystopian’, we’re prepared to concede that these dystopian headlines and posts are cropping up with a regularity that would normally be boring, but is currently just sad.
These 15 show exactly what we mean.

3. So …a buy-to-let mortgage?
4. About that windfall tax …

6. Unexpected exploitation in the bagging area
7. Hungry kids are as dystopian as it gets
8. It’s either a lottery win or poverty
