We need a Helldiver voice that sounds like Zapp Branigan 

I was just commenting on the fact that programming to handle time zone conversions (and daylight savings time) is difficult enough without having to factor planetary orbit into the equation. Colonization aside, even if we found native martians had a calendar they were “currently” using, writing a program to convert from any Earth calendar time to native Martian calendar time would be an astronomical pain in the ass.

Sounds like you might have a lot of hatred in you. I hope you’re going to therapy. I am for that exact reason.

Born too late to have to fix the Y2K problem, born too soon to have to consider Mars’ time zones in the database, born just in time to have most time zone problems solved before I even got involved

“Seeing Leela fly off the Hexadecapus and crash through the moon dome and survive inside a stuffed animal by breathing a balloon was a dose of reality.”

You lost the last 23 years of your life, but you still have Zoidberg. YOU ALL STILL HAVE ZOIDBERG

Elon Musk’s definitely won’t be. It’ll be alone on whatever remains of Mars after the 3012 incident

I have to disagree with your point about the references to modern technology sticking out like a sore thumb. I binge the whole show at least once a year and there are countless jokes throughout the series poking fun at technology that was relevant at air date. The first one that comes to mind is Amy’s comically small cell phone (which was a flip phone) that she couldn’t carry around because the wireless charger was the size of a toaster.

Another that I can quickly think of is the way they portray the internet, and the direct references to websites like Napster. They even resorted to making jokes based off of internet memes that have LONG since died off. For example, the entire conflict between Fry and Leela in the episode with the MomCorp eyePhone is based on the popularity of Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent from who knows what year.

If references to modern tech are off-putting to you, you haven’t payed any attention in older episodes.
