I just love them so much. Everytime I watch historical footage from the early 20th century I get very sad over the zepplins and blimps. I wish I could see them floating through my sky on a daily basis just doin stuff that isn’t solely advertising. They are the closest we have to sky whales. I just love that they float around like that, very joyous and whimsical. Fucked up we don’t make use of them anymore. I bet this makes them as sad as it makes me. Relatively low energy cost btw.

I’ve cried over this while drunk more than once. Think of me next time you call blimps useless technology

    California is building a high speed rail line

    lmao “building” doing a lot of heavy lifting here. That project has been in the works for like 18 years and has a “projected” completion year of 2030-2033 with many components of it like tunnels and coastal extensions to serve cities between San Francisco having no projected completion date and it is realistically decades away from completion (if ever). It’s an absolute joke.

      Yeah… hence the laughing until I cried face. I don’t really expect the project to advance much beyond the low speed dirt bike track that it currently is.
