Ah, the premise for the awesome movie "Idiocracy":
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy
"Private Joe Bauers, the definition of "average American", is selected
by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation
program. Forgotten, he awakes five centuries in the future. He discovers
a society so incredibly dumbed down that he's easily the most
intelligent person alive. "
I just want to know where I can buy the recliner with the builtin toilet
so I don't have to get up to go to the bathroom !
