What is this "retirement" you speak of?
Oooh! The period where they put us all out on an ice flow when we become too old to work!
You think we will still have ice?!
Seriously! Someone’s failing their mental aptitude test!
I always thought the "ice floes" was just figurative, but apparently there actually used to be ice there! TIL~!
What is this "too old to work" you speak of?
This is turning out to be a depressing thread...
A reflection of the state of the world then?
Yup. Too real.
Might just be autocorrect landing on the more commonly-used word but if you're interested, a floe is a sheet of floating ice. Sounds the same as flow but they are different things.
Til! Thanks
Hah, you have a point.
Too old to work under current technology? Don't worry your years on ice will not be in vain as we will awaken you as soon as the technology is available to get you back to work. You got to pay off that cryo stasis debt you didn't ask for after all.
