Along similar lines, I think about this for any post apocalyptic scenario that disrupts supply lines. Even if things are okay in terms of food, I regularly take medication that one would presume would be hard to get without modern society. In that situation, if I broke or even scratched my glasses, it seems very unlikely I would find functional replacements. I’m not physically disabled, but I am very limited, so in any real conflict I would lose. Quickly.

In prehistory or any future environment like that, I wouldn’t last long.

They already did thrice.

One time, I bought a giant picture of a spaceship taking off. I brought it home and proudly showed my then girlfriend and our mutual friend, who was visiting. The friend said “nice! Where’s it going?”

I didn’t know the destination of this particular space flight. I had impulsively bought it at a thrift store and done no research. I thought about it for a minute, then said " … Space?"

Turns out she was asking where I was planning to hang the picture in the house.

Today me, tomorrow you.

Happy anniversary!

Are you a veterinarian?

Moisture never really contributed. As I said elsewhere in this thread, I’ve never peed myself as an adult. However, I’ve primarily traveled in jeans and the feeling granted by the air conditioning seat feels exactly how I think it would feel if I wet myself, then let it dry in my jeans. I haven’t tested that though.

Well, as an adult I’ve never wet myself, but - especially while wearing jeans - them feeling cool and stiff, such as the AC made them feel, is exactly how I imagine it would feel if they were flooded with warm liquid that then cooled.

I acknowledge and respect your opinion, but don’t share it.

Could be - I’ve never lived anywhere but humid.

Are you the original?

Ah, mine never did anything but right below the butt, so perhaps that’s why I feel differently. The main car in question was also a 2014, so perhaps the technology hadn’t been fully developed by then. It was also “air conditioned” rather than “ventilated,” but I’m not sure if there’s a difference other than the name.

Though I’m sorry I can’t share the joy, it’s great that you benefitted!

I’ve owned two cars with ventilated seats. In both, I never used the function more than twice because the primary result was less “oh, how refreshing” and more “did I wet myself?!”

On a hot day I once turned it on for a passenger without saying anything (it had been a few years of owning the car and I forgot the side effect). He had never been in my car before and didn’t know about the function. (I promise I wasn’t trying to prank him, I just forgot). Within a few minutes he asked me to pull over because he was worried he’d had an accident.

In short, I don’t recommend ventilated seats.

I’ll just put this over here with the rest of the drowned.

I mean … That’s true.

Well now, that’s not fair.

The response should be something like, you’re about to experience a blessing by learning of Bob’s Burgers.

If they were like “fuck that show” I’d be more on your side here.

Well … My bones do hurt.

But I didn’t even click the link.

Well, given your username, I’m no longer sure whether I should allow my guts and food to interact.

I’m also curious whether you made a typo and were too stubborn to correct it, whether it was intentional, or whether I’m imagining the whole thing.

Honestly, I have so few people in my life that finding out one (or more) were a figment of imagination is a genuine phobia of mine. I’ve freaked out my wife by debating that there’s no way I can be certain she’s real. (Though the evidence does support it.)

Jess.
