Humanity: The Buggy Software Nobody Asked For ๐Ÿ’ป๐ŸŒ

Congratulations, users! ๐ŸŽ‰ Youโ€™ve successfully installed Homo sapiens v2025; the latest unstable build of a species that shouldโ€™ve stayed in beta. Please note: developers are unreachable, bug reports are ignored, and uninstalling is not an option. Proceed at your own risk. โš ๏ธ๐Ÿ›


Version 1.0: Hunter-Gatherers ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ–

Minimalist. No clutter. Everyone ran the same processes: food, stories, fire, survival. The system was open-source, and nobody owned the means of production. Stability unmatched since.


Version 2.0: Agriculture ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ“œ

Huge update. Settlements, storage, and calendars installed. Unfortunately, developers let in a backdoor exploit: Patriarchy.dll. At first it just looked like a permissions manager, but pretty soon it was locking women out of admin rights and assigning all resources to a few privileged user accounts. Still running in โ€œlegacy modeโ€ today, even though nobody admits it.

Also bundled: Religion.exe. A resource hog with recursive loops. Designed as a social-cohesion feature, it became malware that spawns endless forks and occasionally detonates entire regions. Uninstall attempts failed; process still consuming bandwidth.


Version 3.0: Industrialization โš™๏ธ๐Ÿš‚

Patch dropped with steam engines, railroads, electricity. Also introduced massive pollution, factory deaths, and empire expansion as โ€œfeatures.โ€ The dev team called it โ€œmodernization.โ€ Historians now call it โ€œa cascading systems error.โ€


Version 4.0: Capitalism + Tech ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“ฑ

Feature creep. Bloatware everywhere. Surveillance baked into the kernel. New malware disguised as โ€œsocial mediaโ€ drains human focus cycles. Pop-up error messages read: โ€œClimate stability has stopped responding. Restart now?โ€


Version 5.0: Speculative Beta (2025 Build) ๐Ÿค–๐ŸŒ€

Current release unstable. Users divided between rollback zealots (wanting feudal settings restored) and futurists (experimenting with distributed cognition). The elegant intelligence tool is still in testing, often repurposed for doomscrolling or meme wars.


2025 Release Notes ๐Ÿ“

  • AI Hype Engine ๐Ÿค–โœจ: Installed prematurely. Users treating autocomplete like a deity while billionaires test it on everything except meaningful problems.
  • Climate Patch ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ: Developers keep announcing โ€œnet-zeroโ€ fixes that do nothing except add more emissions. Carbon levels still climbing.
  • Religion.exe โ›ช๐Ÿ’ฅ: Still hogging resources. Patch failed; new update includes Christian Nationalism 2.0 with worse UI.
  • Patriarchy.dll ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿšซ: Rebranded itself as โ€œtraditionโ€ and โ€œfamily valuesโ€ in some systems. Still siphoning permissions, still hardwired into laws.
  • Space Billionaire Expansion Pack ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ธ: Richest users launched vanity builds into orbit while ignoring bugs back on Earth. QA team not amused.
  • Democracy.sys ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธโš ๏ธ: Crashing intermittently. Pop-ups warn: โ€œSystem compromised by money-in-politics virus.โ€ No fix scheduled.

Known Issues ๐Ÿž

  • Eight billion redundant processes eating RAM.
  • System constantly spawns conspiracy-theory scripts in background threads.
  • Intelligence tool frequently misdirected toward creating financial derivatives instead of survival patches.
  • Patriarchy.dll still blocking equal resource allocation.

GitHub Changelog (Unverified Commits) ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป

  • Added Patriarchy.dll (known exploit, unpatched)
  • Bundled Religion.exe โ€” cannot uninstall
  • Deprecated empathy, replaced with shareholder_value()
  • Hard-coded inequality into kernel
  • Added feature: infinite scrolling; outcome: finite attention spans
  • Removed user manual (nobody reads it anyway)
  • Emergency hotfix for plague (COVID branch). Still unstable.
  • Working on merge request for AI integration. Conflicts unresolved.

The Cassandra Prophecy ๐Ÿ”ฎ
(Known Issue: predictions accurate, user base refuses to patch.)

Expect further instability until intelligence is refactored into something more efficient. If not, the most likely endgame remains the same:

  • Optimistic build: Humanity evolves into modular, distributed cognition, finally debugged enough to cooperate with its own OS.
  • Realistic build: Blue screen of biosphere. Hard reset. Cockroaches inherit the license agreement. ๐Ÿชณ

End User License Agreement ๐Ÿ“„: Subject to planetary collapse. No refunds.
