The reason we don’t need hoverboards is for the same reason we don’t need flying cars. Just LOOK at the people crying about flying cars as they drive, occasionally looking up from TikTok to avoid plowing through a KFC, and then ask yourself “Do you REALLY want to give them a third dimension of space to terrorize?”
Jesus Christ it's been 9 years since people were memeing about hoverboards and Back to the Future?

Also I'd say (and I do say) cell phones are superior to tricorders. They do stuff they never thought of in Star Trek. Like I realized the GPS on my cell works with google maps to make sure I don't get lost even when I'm not connected to a network. I just randomly figured that out by accident!
You make a solid point about smartphones. But as someone regularly using healthcare, I'd really like a tricorder still. Wait, how does the GPS work without a signal?
"What I really want the robots working on are my dishes." I've been saying that for over a year! I don't need someone to write my emails or answer arcane questions about whatever, I need a housecleaner and errand-boy so I've got time for my OWN writiing and research on arcane whatevers!
"Also, what does NASA stand for-" It stands for the National Aeronautics And Space Administration. In other words, it has (or use to have) control over everything to do with outer space and flying machines, and the U.S. government gives the money to keep having that control.

As usual Paul you make excellent points. Ok, hoverboards only for ME then. 😆

I actually have no idea.
Probably the same as how you can make 9/11 calls but I don't know how it works.
I think NASA nerds are working on Nobody Actually Smokes Anymore.
Meh, as long as they're busy with something. We can't have our geniuses get bored, that's when bad stuff happens.
Two things:
You can buy a DeLorean from someone, but save your money for a LONG time; they still aren’t cheap and they still don’t work very well.
I had a Very Old Man major crush on Kari on MythBusters, or as my twisted kind just wrote, MuthBisters. Red hair and green eyes? Yes, please.
Sheesh, like I needed another thing for my bucket list...but on it goes a DeLorean now.
I can't blame you for that crush, Kari is awesome!

Exactly--preach Anne!

The disembodied spirit of a human hummingbird hovered like Slimer, swishing and haunting.
"Gentlemen, I doubt our grant will be renewed," said Dr. Feigl.
I'm assuming this was so clever that it flew right over my head 😆
Dr. Feigl and the boyz got a grant to invent the hoverboard, but instead they did all the stuff you said.
What do hummingbirds mean when they hover close to a human?
“Look what *I* can do, that you Humans can’t do, even though you are at the top of the Animal Kingdom. So suck it!”
I knew those shady tiny mofos were braggarts about it.
Life is most always “Bassackwards”……🤣😢🤣😢😢🤣😢
Laugh, sigh, yeah. 😆
Maybe you should start cultivating your qi and learn to hover via the metaphysical arts instead. Isn’t that how Dr. Strange does it?
Sounds complicated, and I barely had time to shower today 😆
You have delicates?? I haven't used that setting on my washed in at least a decade.
And forget hovering...I'm over here waiting for full on teleporting.
I in fact...do not have delicates. I buy clothes specifically for their ability to not wrinkle, that's my level of clothing laziness.
Teleporting? Pfft, greedy bitch.
