>the countryside lifestyle
Have any of you types lived in the country for any length of time? Met any actual ruralites? It's probably especially bad in North America, but of the people who live in Bumfuck, Flyover, the vast majority are those who are the leftovers of a population that has suffered three generations of brain drain where all the intelligent and ambition have left, not people philosophically aligned with idyllic luddite ruralism.
The actual inhabited countryside isn't even a pleasant or aesthetically appealing place. It's disgusting factory agriculture- monoculture grain production, herds of onions fed steroid injected cattle, rows of farmed woodlots filled with uniform evergreens, interlaced with trailer parks and dying small towns that all look identical.

It's a pretty grim, degenerated place. Pretty much pic related.

What is burger punk?

Yup. Failed twice by 1%. I ain't doin' this shit more than three times.


Speaking of, just shat out another 1100 words of burgerpunk.

Chapter 1
Jerry Pomade swiped his micro tablet into work. It was to deliver pizza. People loved pizza, and people loved not leaving the house for pizza. Jungle.co could deliver anything you wanted these days straight to your door and Mac Burger serviced the world’s stomach, but Pizza Max stayed in business across the National United Corporation Country because of people’s desire for pizza. People love pizza.
He was the best delivery driver at his location. Admiral Crunch’s Northern ex-TexanTerritory of the NUCC, known a decade ago as Dallas, was one of the lower ranked hubs for entrepreneurs and despots. Who knew that the programmer kid and the homeless man shared such a love for pizza.

“BeBop, who the fucko needs a gosh’n pizza?”

“Fuckin’a Pomade, down on the bulovard, the kickin’ bitchin’ workspace is havin’ a shiggy diggy pip party.” Shouted BeBop over the post radio silence of the Pizza Max #12228 location. “Twelve pies ready to be loaded and pooped off broski.”

“Shit fuck you old cougar bear, I don’t even get a minute to myself!” Pomade said sarcastically. He was at work. Pizza Max demanded every minute be accounted for, otherwise his NUCC credits would be covered in loan shark trackers, and he didn’t want any of those privatefag bounty hunters sent out by the courts. He flipped from his tablet the Micro Pizza employment app and got the drone to pick up the pizza. People love pizza. The three heating bags, each with four pies in them were picked up by the Jungle.co drone and put into his self-driving car.

Pomade was a driver, his father had taught him at a young age how to use an automatic, and how to drive by himself. He was proud of this, but since the advent of self-driving cars by corps like Jungle.co and PDF, driving your own car has become a misdemeanor, an accident caused by someone driving a car themselves is a first-degree felony.

Pomade’s 1992 Civic was modded out with two modes. Self-Drive, how he got to work, and Auti-Mati, for when he felt the need for the thrills of control in chaos. He loved driving against the AI of the other cars, they attempted to predict him with logic, and he gave them a heaping handful of incompetent and selfish driving tactics.

“Fuck-a-roo, lets go!” he shouted as he flipped on the Auti-Mati mode of his baby. His newly installed panel screen projected directions onto his windshield. His engine revved and he peeled out of the massive 10-acre parking lot of Pizza Max.

Ever since self-driving cars had been introduced, stop and go traffic was no longer a thing, but the increasing population led to over congestion of the road ways anyway, everyone moved at a constant speed of 5-10 miles.

Too many people in this world. If he didn’t make it in 2 hours to the party, the recipients would get a ten percent discount, and he would be getting his third strike against him. Es no Bueno, and Pomade fucking hated Buenos.

Woah woah woah WOAH

I've heard the term 'burgerpunk' thrown around here, on tv and on v unironically and I want to know what exactly are the themes and boundaries of this genre? I mean cyberpunk is usually rich with criticism of modernity via reducto ad absurdum into some ancap meme dystopia. But how does burgerpunk stand out distinctly from this genre? Is it just because of the focus on extreme/exaggerated takes on our current condition without technological wizardry beyond the current understanding operating in the background?
