We have automated paper towel dispensers, if that ain’t space-age magic I don’t know what is. I think we found out that flying cars are a bad idea. It turns out most people could not operate a regular car correctly.
Agreed. The way people in my city drive I’m pretty sure flying cars would turn into a demolition derby very quickly
You’d get daily 9/11
it’s not a tragedy, it’s just a statistics
It’s good for the Soylent Green factories.
They tried to teach people to use hovercraft, and it was a miserable failure. There are so many more controls with that, and people just couldn’t get it right. I shudder to think about putting people into flying cars, especially when they already drive under the influence most of the time.
Yeah what we need is flying trains! Or not because it turns out flying uses a ton of fuel. What we need is public transit! Which fuck it turns out we started dismantling back in the 20s. Oops
Yeah what we need is flying trains!
We have levitating trains, close enough.
But the important thing is, they should be FLYING not merely levitating! Levitation is the opiate of the weak!!! or something. In the future, everything should be flying around indiscriminately at top speed!! TOP SPEED, DAMMIT!!! I want to zoom into the nearest brick wall as fast as possible! Also, I want my anti-gravity toast!!! I’m tired of having to keep my breakfast down by myself.
Honestly I loathe those auto dispensers.
I get the hygiene aspect but it’s annoying af waiting for it to register your hand wave just to spit out a pathetic amount of paper towel.
Buy the key on Amazon and then you can change the settings to dispense more or automatically
Get big rock, for free, from the outside. Smash technology. Get resources. Reject society.
We did this test with petri dishes in my high school biology course where we had students wash their hands, air dry them or use paper towel dispensers or air-blower dryers, and compared all the results. Oddly enough the paper towel and air drying alone both resulted in lots of bacteria growing in the dishes. I’m not sure how effective those paper towels are - or if it’s just that kids don’t know how to wipe their hands!
Yeah honestly it’s amazing we don’t have a pandemic all the time with how much microbes exist everywhere all the time.
But I guess there is a reason why the human population completely fucking exploded after the creation of antibiotics.
That we have the technology to make a paper towel dispenser that works well, and that we don’t do that very much because it’s cheaper to make one that works poorly, are not incompatible.
When we get mass market flying cars, we’ll get incredibly shitty flying cars that crash all the time, about a week later.

“We are highly aware that the springs in our machine are too strong, thus causing disfunction of the machine. We will not change our design. We already paid for 300.000 springs, so fuck you, buy better paper.”

They could actually put a blade in it to cut the paper like scissors

The idea of flying cars comes from a time when you could board a plane without a baggage check while smoking a cigarette.
Thank god we don’t have flying cars. Thousands of cars in the air… any of them could have engine trouble at any time…
Or crash into you because of “pedal error” ! I learnt yesterday there are 16000 yearly accident in the USA from “pedal error”. WTAF ?!
First, what defines pedal error? Also 16k out of 6 million is basically a non-factor
Welcome to the future. Nothing works now! :D
This is not the future I envisioned as a kid
On the other hand, check out this cool office document editor you’d have to pay yearly for.
Also, there’s this spying technology that comes with every new car. What are we spying? Well, you.
On the other hand
P-unintended?
Lmao, that’s a good one!
Didn’t even realize that.
After washing, shake your hands a bit, then dry.
When I see one of these I immediately go for my pants. I’d rather have a damp thigh for 10 minutes than deal with this thing.
Thats where the peepee poopoo is stored though 😩
You’re an animal haha just shake the excess water into the sink before you reach for the towel
Use more of your hand to grab more of the towel, and pull with a steady pressure instead of one hard yank.
The trouble is, the amount of steady pressure to apply varies inversely proportionate to the amount of towel left on the roll. So it’s a guessing game for most people as to how hard to pull.
That’s true, but the more surface area you’re interacting with, the less that part will matter. Unless it’s super jammed up, it should come out.
No you
It’s a heli-cop-car
In doing research on the sustainability of the textile sector, I came across this company that makes a reusable towel dispenser incorporating cloth as opposed to paper. They do business with the big wigs in textiles, most notably Lenzing (makers of TENCEL), so it seems legit.
And if this company does it, I’d wager that others do too.
Imagine if we had this in all countries as opposed to paper towels. Maybe cloth towels + hand dryers for the best of both worlds.
Edit: better link with video showing operation & maintenance.

I’ve never seen one that wasn’t disgusting

The directions on all of these are wrong! I find it much less likely to tear when using on hand in the center of the bottom edge.
