Ugh. Bougie homeless. Just sleep in your car like normal people. πŸ™„ /s

I do want sleep pods at airports.

Shower pod at the Paris airport was the best layover I've ever had. You pay in 30 minute increments but so nice to get refreshed when you're traveling across the Atlantic.

Wow, 30min is really generous.

I bet that was really nice. πŸ™‚ As someone who takes red eyes, showering when I get there would be preferred.

I would have a thirty minute shower than.

San Franciscan here. What is β€œcar?”

A mobile home. Don’t worry you’ll be able to rent one from Uber for the night soon enough.

Well in San Francisco, a car is something that a robot learns how to navigate around the city streets.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

All of our robots just sit in the middle of intersections. What are these navigating robots you speak of?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're the big boxes in the road with broken windows

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

But that's not important right now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They're things on the road that take you to your abode.
