With Greta Thunberg and the school strikes its like we have a real version of the Culture.  Get this:  Adults create children but the children are the ones who lead/become adults while the adults whine like babies because they can't fly anymore.  Hell, its actually more like the plot of Consider Phlebas is for real; Greta Thunberg being the Mind lost on Shar's World.

The Culture existed in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Warp entities are what remains of a disastrous-and quite literal-"war in heaven". Some time after the setting of the "Culture" novels, this war occurs in the realm of the Sublimed. It affects the ability to travel in hyperspace and creates what is later simply known as "The Warp". The Eldar are what remains of the Culture.

Pokémon The humans in the Pokémon World may have arrived when the colonial fleet in Battlestar Galactica reached "Earth". They may have also "crossed over" from, or live in, a version of the Watchmen/DC universe. Both versions are possible. The reality of Pokémon is that the humans live in a Lovecraftian universe in which most adults are afraid to leave their homes for fear of going being possessed by ghosts or having their dreams eaten by psychic Pokémon. Children, especially pre-adolescents, seem mostly immune to ghost-induced insanity and are encouraged to catch and train various 'mon to protect their adult selves. Basically, it is more like the  tabletop game Pokethulhu  than the familiar anime. Team Rocket have access to the original Cylon  Resurrection Ship . This way they can keep "blasting off" (dying) and then return in the same episode. Similarly, the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies are clones/versions of Deana Biers and Kara Thrace. ...

The Gzilt Prophet Briper Drodj and (Tursensa) Ngaroe (Hgan) "oldest person in the Culture" QiRia (dam Yutton)* are actually the same person. Because.... why the fuck not? The Werpesh actually evolved on Earth. Because.... w hy the fuck not?   This means that (probably) all the humanoid species in the Culture novels are descended from those Werpesh who opted out of Subliming. Any technology left behind was quickly appropriated by other civilisations.  Most members of the-150 member-United Federation of Planets are planets colonised by the thirty or so actual members, these being the home-worlds of the various Federation species. This-kind of-explains why everyone aboard Federation star-ships looks human. Obvious fan theory: R2-D2 is a Culture (Special Circumstances) agent. Second obvious fan theory: Homer Simpson is an Idiran. *of the Buhdren Federalty, one of the civilisations which founded the Culture "...

The Klingon empire..... .......almost joined the Federation but left as a result of a military coup which ended their brief experiment with democracy. Planets conquered by the Klingons either joined the Federation or became part of the Klingon Neutral Zone .  The series "Humans" and "Space: Above and Beyond" are set in the Star Trek universe. The AI War was later referred to as "world war three" and was an attempt by the Synths to increase their number. The Klingons are really Augments, genetically modified humans who left Earth during the Eugenics War. These Augments conquered a number of planets and created the Klingon empire. Elements of the conquered culture's religions ended up becoming adopted by the Klingons.  Vulcan Intelligence deliberately started the  Earth-Romulan_War .  This was done by providing Earth with Vulcan technology. When Earth ships started exploring and setting up outposts near the Romulan border, the Romulans attacked ...

With regards to http://legalsmeagolandzeteticelench.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/fan-theories-2.html  and http://legalsmeagolandzeteticelench.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/a-few-statistics-on-culture.html   perhaps the first Orbital  builders were part of a conglomerate representing several panhuman civilisations. They could have any number of reasons for doing so: to make a gigantic point about inter-civilizational co-operation, as experimental art, as well as providing extra living space.  The point about Orbitals, from the perspective of an expanding and militarily suspicious civilisation, is that they are individually much easier to defend from space than a planet is. One can simply provide sensors throughout the base structure of an Orbital alongside a Hub or ship stationed at its exact centre. A planet would need to be surrounded by satellites or otherwise guarded by at least six warships. An enemy could simply play hide-and-see...

Just as Childhood's End (first theory) could be viewed as a prelude or explanation of many SF fictional universes (the "Overmind" is the Force in Star Wars, among others) the film AI could be a seen as a mythological version of the founding of The Culture -in particular the "panhumans" described as being abundant in the (well "our") galaxy and beyond.  At the film's epilogue, all the humans had been killed as a result of a new Ice Age but the descendants (so to speak) of the film's "mechas" (intelligent androids) remain. It could be conceivable that a similar event actually happened in Earth's distant past. A race of hominids, perhaps unknown in the fossil record, invented and heavily utilised, artificial intelligence just before their civilisation was destroyed in an ice age. Of course, a few survivors could have left Earth in spaceships before this happened, but the main point is that the AIs which survived were able to crea...

A few statistics on The Culture Orbitals-estimate around four hundred thousand constructed by the Culture by the 14th century Common Era; over two million by the 29th century ("Surface Detail"). Individual Minds-several hundred thousand estimated by Bora Horza Gobuchul in the 14th century, say 150,000. (Probably all Systems Vehicles and Contact Units have a Mind at this point, whereas the Orbitals are just as likely to rely on large networks of individually AI-level computers) General Systems Vehicles-estimate 20,000 constructed in total before start of Idiran-Culture war. General Contact Units-estimate around 50,000 constructed in total before start of Idiran war. Number of Rocks associated with the Culture-estimate 60,000 before start of Idiran war. Superlifters destroyed during Idiran war-estimate at least 80,000. Total warships produced during the Idiran war-estimate between 780,...

Family Guy is really set in Hell! Specifically one of the Hells in the  Culture  novel "Surface Detail". The television programme "American Dad!" is also set in one of these Hells, but different to the one Family Guy is set in. Think about it. The characters never age and most would end up institutionalised if they lived in a normal society. It also, perhaps, makes sense that the creators of these Hells would consider early twentieth century North America, Earth, a suitable place to set these Hells. In Surface Detail the Hells are terrible places where the downloaded  personalities of the dead are maintained. It's denizens are routinely raped by demons (one of whom may be Glen Quagmire ) or forced into arbitrary wars. All rapes result in pregnancy (Hell is a pretty horrible place of course), which is reminiscent of certain Family Guy episodes where unexpected or bizarre pregnancies occur.
