Someone explain the metaverse shite to me like I'm five. Because currently, I am picturing Dwight from The Office when he played Second Life and had a character that was exactly him in the game, and was even a paper salesman (except he could fly) and ALSO played Second Life. Or like Ready Player One, where everyone gets to pretend about cool shite, when they live in a dystopian shite world in reality.
Is that basically what this is like? People sitting around pretending to "exist" in this fake universe, but actually using real money to buy "land" and "groceries"? Or does this actually tie into reality in some way?

Why are people shopping in the Meta verse?
What purpose does this shite serve ?

This is how Walmart envisions Shopping in the Metaverse
I guess my car drove itself to Walmart for that oil change.

I don't really know what the hell it is either, I really haven't been paying attention.
Is it Facebook's version of the Oasis from Ready Player One?

Let me know when Publix makes their vision public.

So this customer took their car to Walmart for an oil change and still refused to go in the store to shop?

I guess he was walking around the parking lot in VR goggles

Will there still be the Mexican families with 2-3 full shopping carts and 8 children every Sunday?

I cannot wait for the age verification thing. It's now the only thing I truly dislike about grocery shopping.

A bit dystopic
I don't get why this is needed vs the current supermarket website experience
How is it dystopic lol
People are visual - they like actually looking at what they're going to buy. If they could make this easy to use, they'd probably end up selling more than through the traditional website.

While I certainly prefer to physically do things for myself, but there is some appeal to this if I don’t have to deal with the typical Walmart people. It’s what miss most about them not being open 24 hours anymore. I used throughly enjoy shopping in a empty store at 4am.

The active goal of the metaverse is to create a world where people never have to actually see another person’s face again. And it’s all to make it easier for corporations to sell more stuff. If that’s not dystopic, I don’t know what is.

Do you at least get to give yourself superpowers or some cool stuff like that?
Why couldn't that lady getting groped just turn herself into Dr. Manhattan and blast the shite out the other dude?

Only with the season pass which is $199 annually

Every time I hear "meta verse" I think of Sim City.

Maybe I’m just fancy but I’d rather the Walmart worker not recommend wine pairings for me

This is what I think of when metaverse is discussed.
