Some sort of PC connected directly to my mind. That would be pretty awesome.

A small lightweight mask that functioned like fish gills.

I road test one of those new suv with the lane control thing. The thing will resist leaving the lane, that thing drive me crazy. Pot holes everywhere so diving over the yellow line is normal on some back roads, never mind the random beast popping out of the ditch.

I bet this will become a reality within 50 years (at least to some extent).

My own personal flying vehicle, like a little UFO sort of thing. Basically a small helicopter.
However if everyone had one as well it would stop being fun pretty fast.

The (transpecies) future is here today:

Hopefully his antennae explodes

I’d like to have miniature Gorillas cheer me on when attempting a big lift and also to load and unload weights for me when I’m feelin lazy!

An old buddy of mine had a deep brain stimulator implanted to interrupt his ocd cycle.

Unfortunately one of the electrodes came lose and killed him.

Fuck tailgaters.

I just use my old angle head moon beam

You mean one of these? Personal Hovercraft

I wish empathy could be directly manifested and transferred through touch. I’m very aware of all the loopholes and downsides to that. Still wish it.

My dads old Jeep Cherokee had a little hose you could disconnect on the rear wiper. It would shoot washer fluid about 10 feet behind you. Pissed a lot of people off with that.

A car forum I was on recently said that it was possible to wire the rear fog lights to come on (like brake lights) as well when you hit the switch for the front fog lights. Apparently quite effective.

I thought about doing it, but since I always drive in the left lane, I just move over for tailgaters.

edit: rear fogs are for European cars, but are disconnected for US (or something like that, I know zero about cars)

This is funny because it reminds me of an episode that took place a year ago (it actually gets not-funny).

I was driving along with three friends of mine (all three girls, this might become relevant later) and I had my headlights on because it was dark. One car appeared behind me and they had their headlights on as well, despite they were following me closely and didn’t need them because I was lighting the way already, so they just served to tick me off.

After a while they overtook me, so I decided to play their game and keep my own headlights on, just to show the driver how annoying it was.

Well, it ended up like this: after a bit they (otherwise unprovoked) stopped the car and blocked the road. Out came 4 men in their 50’s, they approached my car and one started yelling insults at me and punching me through the car window. This all lasted around 40 seconds. Then they left and drove off. Shit happens.

Going to have to get rid of gyms. They were a nightmare before phones and are worse now. I was at a couple commercial gyms and hated every second of it. I’m lucky to have a local spot that has 99% of what I need and many times where I’m the only one in there.

I’m not sure I’d lift in a big commercial gym again if it was my only option. Fucking impossible to get much done. I’d just be a fat piece of shit like everyone else in my area.
