@RickiTarr Teleportation, but magic rather than science. Magic portals or something.
Its less horrifying to rip apart reality for a moment and fix that than to have every molecule of you fit through a laser and data chip. I've seen Star Trek transporter accidents. And then I've seen 3D Printers at my high school make mistakes and keep going until its a spaghetti covered mess... Something tells me Star Trek was being kind on the failure rates, we'd have too far to go. 😬😫
Roller Skates are my favorite example of human brain plasticity. If someone handed you a pair of roller skates and told you what they planned to do it them, there would be no reason for you to believe that anything other than comedy and injuries would ensue if the fool was to actually try to put them on and roll around in them on concrete. But instead, after only about 15 minutes of trial and error the human brain says "Oh, cool. I get this now! I like this! This is very efficient!"
Roller skates prove how truly unbelievably capable human brains really are.
@1dalm@RickiTarr Really, any of the wheel options is just wild. “Why yes, I can maneuver this thousands of pounds box from the inside at speeds my ancestors couldn’t have imagined, as if I was born behind the steering wheel.”
“Why yes, I can take these two wheels on a frame seemingly designed to do nothing but fall over, and ride faster than that dog over there.”
