What's the most cyberpunk-esk thing we actually have in modern society? (hexbear.net)

I'm drinking boxed wine tonight but I accidentally set the box in a puddle of water on my kitchen counter and the bottom of the box fell apart, so I had to just take the bag out and realized boxed wine is really just bagged wine. So now there's just a plastic bag of wine sitting on my table and for some reason that felt a bit cyberpunk to me, you just buy a big bag of booze when you want to get fucked up in Mega-City 1.

Americans think goon is a weird slang for wine, but also think Dick and Randy are just ordinary first names.

There was a pro baseball player named Randy Johnson and its one of the funniest names ever
