As he posted the picture of Honda Accord 2019 model, he paused and reflected how the world changed in the last 120 years. He looked at the TV, away from his phone, a woman was being interviewed, narrating her now horrible experience flying one of the last carbon fueled airplanes in 2045, sixty years ago. She cried for contributing in destroying the planet...the panelists took everyone that lived during that time to the cleaners. She had joined the campaign that forced peoplebook social media platform to take down pictures of carbon fueled cars, boats and airplanes. People were shamed for having one of those or riding in any of those. Yes. Facebook changed their name to peoplebook as the word "face" in the Facebook was offensive to people without face. The social media platform apologized in 2075 and promised to do better so it was with extra effort that they purged their platform of all carbon fueled devices and vehicles.

He looked away from the TV...he was 13years old...glad that the fight for equality with adult started in 2070 gave him the right to be an adult now. Year 2105 was a good year of many possibilities...he posted the picture of the vintage Honda without the accompanying narrative of refurbishing into a solar powered car. He was carried away by thoughts. The mob came for him.

The picture was shared multiple times across platforms, his explanations were lost in the mix. He was fired from his job, with calls to boycott his employer. The comment sections did not disappoint. Some said they puked at the sight of that car, some booked appointments with their therapists to talk about how that picture reminded them of a dying world. That one person comments about things that did not relate to topic was there too, said men were not allowed to vote and was reminded that it was to equalized for the years men were the oppressors. Some said he is only a kid of 13years old but others said the law passed in 2100 made him an adult.

The next day was another day and another event. The world moved on to a different topic.
