An outfit made of tiles? In this economy?
Makes me think of I Am Legend
I don’t know why, but I love the idea of mundane magic.
“Here, take this talisman.”
“This a brick.”
“It’s a composite talisman, made from the earth, containing countless microscopic crystals working in harmony and bound together with a purpose. Hold it like this. Now repeat the incantation I taught you and deliver the spell.”
“Fuck you, Kevin, you cheating whore!” [Sound of glass shattering]
“Now run! We don’t want to catch any counterspells.”
“Wow, that was really effective. What if we had added a fire element.”
“Now you’re thinking like a witch!”
I smell bacon
Some people claim they can be used in crosswalks to ward off collisions:
Beats me. It’s pretty obviously a 5D elevator with each column representing an axis. It’s common sense if you’re familiar with octonions and think of the elevator as a vector with the lobby as the origin. I don’t know how much more clear the designers could have made it.
I was imagining live ones. Bones are probably okay.
Zoom in. The tracks are just made of laborers.
13·6 days agoYour succinct rebuttal captures so perfectly what I believe was very likely the attitude of that era.
Past all the obvious points like, “smoking is bad,” “smoking in the car is worse,” etc, this still seems like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist and might make things worse. Even the standard electric lighters in the dash at the time seem like a better option. I always assumed those were a backup anyway.
This thing has a hopper that can hold a pack’s worth of loose cigarettes, but the user has to load them in there. Needless to say, orientation matters, so that’s one more thing that can go wrong. On top of that, if the device isn’t the primary source of cigarettes, then there’s just an open pack of cigarettes sitting in a hot car, going stale for most of the day. That is, unless the user primarily works in their vehicle, this device mostly just oxidizes cigarettes. Even then, nothing about the function of the device is faster or simpler than someone grabbing a cigarette, putting it in their mouth and using a conventional lighter, all of which can also be done one-handed.
Responsible drivers use the helmet:
Good job. It definitely got me
It’d be funny if someone stole the lock and left the shoes.
Mind your business. He’s just trying to make ends meet. You don’t know how ruff it is for gig workers in this economy.
It really is getting quite Kafkaesque. Vibe legislation. Vibe litigation. Soon vibe adjudication. If the legal system isn’t already an incomprehensible maze, it will be if it’s run entirely by AI.
