      I just got rear ended and the mini reactor meltdown obliterated all my neighbors’ homes within a 50 mile radius. But I had my blinkers on. AITA?

        An armed society is a polite society

    We were robbed! If we all had hovercraft, imagine how hilarious accidents would be instead of how tragic they are. Rubber bumper cushions makes real life bumper cars

    This design reminds me of all the evtol cars that have been coming out. I wonder if it’ll be a similar situation, interesting concepts/designs that just never really stick the landing.
