      See also: monster trucks, demolition derbies, fireworks, contact sports, and so much more. Wasteful and dangerous? Yep. Fun? Also yep.

        Fucking hate it when I go to the air show and the plane sucks up my internal American flag spirit straight out of my mouth

        If they were free and couldn’t kill anyone etc.

        Relatively intriguing 6-foot-tall bipeds are able to travel through the air in such a manner

        reminded of comic

        comic: “I WISH THAT I COULD GO BACK IN TIME SO I COULD BLOW EVERYBODY'S MINDS WITH MY INCREDIBLE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUTURE! SO HOW DO YOU MAKE ONE OF THESE "CELL-PHONES"? I DON'T KNOW”

        Obviously not advocating for anything

        Just “how’d humans engineer that! I couldn’t build a good bike!”
