They have a pelvis, a rather odd feature if there were never legs

I mean technically you could solve the space issue by making sex less taboo

That's how the US military is though oddly enough. It's effectively run very bureaucratically outside combat zones. If everyone wasn't wearing uniforms you could mistake it easily for a regular business operating out of a bunch of run down buildings that offered free housing and healthcare, and if you signed up before 2018 or so and did 20 years you are guaranteed your salary for life. (2018(ish) the military switched to a 401k with match system)

It's a solid social safety net in a country where the other social safety net (social security) doesn't pay enough to live really and the healthcare through Medicare/Medicaid barely takes care of you.

Mostly agree but the Confederate states were more heavily invested in cash crops making slavery a purely economic issue not a good supply issue

Books without Dinosaurs are communist propaganda and should be removed from shelves! Also Dinosaurs are Satanic propaganda and books featuring them should be removed from shelves! /S

It's been a thing for quite a while. I want to say about 10 years ago I was watching a bunch of off grid YouTube videos and more than a couple people turned their cars into short range EVs.

More recently I've seen a few videos from a professional shop in Cali that does it for classic cars, also you have Jerry Rig Everything converting a Humvee.

It's been a thing and will probably end up being more and more common

Not always, I'll often forget to shower until I look in the mirror and realize my hair needs to be washed. Peak pandemic I'd sometimes go a few weeks without showering until I could smell myself. Just not something that's on my mind most of the time.

So, why do we need a supermarket? Is there any reason a supermarket couldn't be replaced with it's contingent parts? A butcher, a veggie shop, a convenience food shop, a pharmacy, a bakery, and a condiments shop?

I don't see why they have to be stapled together when separate works just fine. All of which could fairly practically be stocked individually by small light duty trucks, or even a bike with a decently sized trailer.

I also don't see why even if you staple everything together, a cargo tram wouldn't work. Have two, a passenger tram that works one route, and a cargo line that runs by the loading bays of local stores. They can be switched on and off the overarching infrastructure without interfering with each other.

It would be a paradigm shift for the US, but I fail to see how it would be an unworkable one.

Have you considered switching to Matrix or Signal over Discord?

I'm the main character, obviously, why else would the sun revolve around the earth? Purely to honor me the main character, reincarnated in this dying world to save it from the demon lord known as See Oh Too, and its generals Shell, BP, and Chevron. /S
