We have automated paper towel dispensers, if that ain't space-age magic I don't know what is. I think we found out that flying cars are a bad idea. It turns out most people could not operate a regular car correctly.
Agreed. The way people in my city drive I'm pretty sure flying cars would turn into a demolition derby very quickly
You’d get daily 9/11
It's good for the Soylent Green factories.
They tried to teach people to use hovercraft, and it was a miserable failure. There are so many more controls with that, and people just couldn't get it right. I shudder to think about putting people into flying cars, especially when they already drive under the influence most of the time.
Yeah what we need is flying trains! Or not because it turns out flying uses a ton of fuel. What we need is public transit! Which fuck it turns out we started dismantling back in the 20s. Oops
We have levitating trains, close enough.
But the important thing is, they should be FLYING not merely levitating! Levitation is the opiate of the weak!!! or something. In the future, everything should be flying around indiscriminately at top speed!! TOP SPEED, DAMMIT!!! I want to zoom into the nearest brick wall as fast as possible! Also, I want my anti-gravity toast!!! I'm tired of having to keep my breakfast down by myself.
Honestly I loathe those auto dispensers.
I get the hygiene aspect but it's annoying af waiting for it to register your hand wave just to spit out a pathetic amount of paper towel.
Buy the key on Amazon and then you can change the settings to dispense more or automatically
Get big rock, for free, from the outside. Smash technology. Get resources. Reject society.
We did this test with petri dishes in my high school biology course where we had students wash their hands, air dry them or use paper towel dispensers or air-blower dryers, and compared all the results. Oddly enough the paper towel and air drying alone both resulted in lots of bacteria growing in the dishes. I'm not sure how effective those paper towels are - or if it's just that kids don't know how to wipe their hands!
Yeah honestly it's amazing we don't have a pandemic all the time with how much microbes exist everywhere all the time.
But I guess there is a reason why the human population completely fucking exploded after the creation of antibiotics.
Well when you think that our adult bodies have more foreign bacteria in them than human cells, it's pretty amazing we can even move, or walk or talk. We're kind of walking bacteria bombs. Maybe our systems get used to being overloaded with bugs and so, that feels normal to us.
