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 not a tragedy, it’s just a statistics

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
Yeah what we need is flying trains!
We have levitating trains, close enough.

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.

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.

That we have the technology to make a paper towel dispenser that works well, and that we don’t do that very much because it’s cheaper to make one that works poorly, are not incompatible.
When we get mass market flying cars, we’ll get incredibly shitty flying cars that crash all the time, about a week later.
Or people are putting in too low quality of paper into the machine. The paper has to be strong enough to active the mechanism, they already say two hands since one usually rips before being able to pull it down.
“We are highly aware that the springs in our machine are too strong, thus causing disfunction of the machine. We will not change our design. We already paid for 300.000 springs, so fuck you, buy better paper.”
And then the weaker springs don’t have the force required to cut paper that is adequate to dry your hands.
They could actually put a blade in it to cut the paper like scissors
What do you think the springs are activating?
The idea of flying cars comes from a time when you could board a plane without a baggage check while smoking a cigarette.
Thank god we don’t have flying cars. Thousands of cars in the air… any of them could have engine trouble at any time…
Or crash into you because of “pedal error” ! I learnt yesterday there are 16000 yearly accident in the USA from “pedal error”. WTAF ?!
First, what defines pedal error? Also 16k out of 6 million is basically a non-factor
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, pedal error car accidents are defined as “accidents caused by unintentional acceleration or braking due to driver error.” These types of accidents can result in injuries, property damage, and even fatalities.
16k drivers who don’t have the proper skills to control their vehicules, this sounds like 16k too much to me, doesn’t matter the total number of drivers. It’s like drunk drivers, 1 fatality is already too much.
It’s 6 million accidents, not drivers, more than that guaranteed
Welcome to the future. Nothing works now! :D
This is not the future I envisioned as a kid
On the other hand, check out this cool office document editor you’d have to pay yearly for.
Also, there’s this spying technology that comes with every new car. What are we spying? Well, you.
On the other hand
P-unintended?
Lmao, that’s a good one!
Didn’t even realize that.
After washing, shake your hands a bit, then dry.
When I see one of these I immediately go for my pants. I’d rather have a damp thigh for 10 minutes than deal with this thing.
Thats where the peepee poopoo is stored though 😩
You’re an animal haha just shake the excess water into the sink before you reach for the towel
Use more of your hand to grab more of the towel, and pull with a steady pressure instead of one hard yank.
The trouble is, the amount of steady pressure to apply varies inversely proportionate to the amount of towel left on the roll. So it’s a guessing game for most people as to how hard to pull.
That’s true, but the more surface area you’re interacting with, the less that part will matter. Unless it’s super jammed up, it should come out.
No you
Hand drying options are actually much better than they were 20-30 years ago. Even the electric ones are pretty great now. 30 years ago it would be one of those electric ones with the round button that feels like someone blowing on your hands through a straw, or at the gas station it would be one continuous loop of thick blue cloth.
It’s a heli-cop-car
In doing research on the sustainability of the textile sector, I came across this company that makes a reusable towel dispenser incorporating cloth as opposed to paper. They do business with the big wigs in textiles, most notably Lenzing (makers of TENCEL), so it seems legit.
And if this company does it, I’d wager that others do too.
Imagine if we had this in all countries as opposed to paper towels. Maybe cloth towels + hand dryers for the best of both worlds.
Edit: better link with video showing operation & maintenance.
These are pretty damn great as long as they keep the sanitizer stocked. Otherwise they get gross really fast.
They are great for employee/shop restrooms, but public and especially transportation (see airports and train stations) restrooms have too much through traffic to adequately upkeep.
I’ve never seen one that wasn’t disgusting
They are an engineered solution. Most likely you’ve seen them used in situations they weren’t designed for, ie public restrooms with base models.
They typically have a # of users they can accommodate per hour without deterioration.
I love these things but they really do have limited use cases.
Those things have been around forever. They were really common in gas station bathrooms when I was a kid.
The directions on all of these are wrong! I find it much less likely to tear when using on hand in the center of the bottom edge.
