@lygophile thanks for the response. The thing is yes I get it, but it doesn't make sense cause if you remove the name its just giant ------ Ray. Maybe I am just a boomer

[@alisajwani4538]

@lygophile the name death ray does not make sense, its not "giant death's ray" its "giant death ray". which in that case has nothing to do with his name and his naming of devices is just wrong

I like when they use American accents in the death ray sketch

[@jasoncovich6224]

I'm not being shitty but one of my favorite things is seeing Brits who are great actors make an attempt at the generic American accent. It can't be easy because even some of the BEST can't do it convincingly in my opinion. It seems to me that there are common words that are hard af to imitate. What for example, the Brits pronounce What as Hwat and that always gives it away. There are also subtleties in cadence of speech as well.

[@joshuarosen6242]

lygophile A five year old prototype that never took off (figuratively speaking) does not count. I don’t want a video of one. I want to buy one and fly it myself.

[@joshuarosen6242]

lygophile There have been several flying cars you can pre-order (can you say Kickstarter) for years. I don’t believe that any of them will deliver a single vehicle that can legally be used. I have heard empty promises since I was a little boy. I’ll believe it when there is one I can have a go in and actually order, not pre-order (which essentially means paying for something that doesn’t and never will exist).

[@joshuarosen6242]

lygophile It did rather look like that is what I meant but I shouldn’t have said that. It would have been much fairer to say that building a flying car is very hard. Lots of people try and most of them need investors. Almost none of those people will succeed but someone will become extremely rich, sooner or later. It isn’t fair to suggest that people are not trying to build a flying car in good faith but the last 50 years have been littered with failed flying car companies. The problem with this issue is that it’s actually not that hard to make a thing that you can sit in that flies and can hover. They have existed for all of the last 50 years. This encourages people to have a go. Sadly, the hard bit is taking something that basically works and turning it into something that is safe, reliable (there’s no hard shoulder in the sky), easy to use, compliant with relevant vehicular and aviation standards, is able to gain public acceptance and and and. The extreme difficulty of doing this bit is why I don’t believe I shall ever see flying cars. I am likely to see an apparently omniscient global self-conscious AI before I’ll be able to fly to work. Who would have thought it?
