    People are sleeping on the car folding into a suitcase. You would basically never need to pay for Uber, Taxis, or rent a car again. Also you never need to pay for parking, and can now easily park in places with limited parking spots.

    And it’s a discount hammer space option since you can fit a car’s worth of stuff in the car which is in your light suitcase. For some people that would be more useful than fitting an arbitrary amount of stuff in a car-sized space, since a car is relatively large and heavy on its own.

    Slightly hovers would not be a smooth ride, in the car driving sense.

    It would be like piloting a hovercraft, driving on black ice, everywhere.

    You’d be playing bumper cars with everything, have little to no steering control or braking ability… you’d probably die or be maimed if you exceed ~45 mph for any reason.

    Also… weather forcefield?

    Depending on how you define ‘weather’ and ‘forcefield’ … this could potentially amount to a weapon of mass destruction.

      I think we can assume ‘slightly hovers’ means in a magical sense where it still functions and drives like a normal car.

      Given almost all the rest of the upgrades are physics-defying there’s no reason this one shouldn’t also be.

        So… it has less effective mass than it otherwise should?

        Then it has less contact surface area with the ground… it has less mass pressing down on that less surface area, and thus has less traction and control.

        This is an unavoidable physics problem.

        Like, technically, Superman has a magic ability to alter the surface tension / tensile strength of large objects he lifts… because if he did not, he would simply puncture them, or they would collapse around where he is lifting them.

        You’re gonna need better defined magic.

    Parts don’t wear out, and, uh, shower I guess

    Edit: actually bread. Just in case the economy crashes and I’m homeless. Forever working car with forever fresh bread.

        He openly stated he’s anti abortion and spouted off a whole bunch of Liars For Jesus propaganda about it. That’s was some time in the late teens, iirc. Facebook or Twitter, can’t remember which.

        Yeah. When his alien comics first started blowing up he made a big deal about it. Hadn’t heard from him since, so I assumed he’d niued his fanbase and gone away.

          I thought this too from my time on reddit but looking into it found it was nothing other than him being supportive of his wife who went to an anti abortion rally… not very cash money but I think I had an overreaction to the reality of what happened.

          if there are actually tweets of him doing that id like to see them (didn’t find anything of the sort when I looked like a year or two ago)

            No.

            There is no overreacting to toxic forced birth morons.

            Just having said a polite “good morning” to a forced birther is enough to put someone on my shit list, marrying one is certainly enough to expose someone as actually agreeing with them but not wanting to say so and lose a career.

            Fuck him, his wife, and anyone else who has anything to nice to say to or about those fucking psychos.

    Bag of holding plus hover means I can just set up a big home in the trunk and it’ll never have quakes or collapse. Worth the maintenance cost by not having to buy or build a house.

      Breathing creatures can only survive a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures before they start to suffocate, so you can store stuff in it, but you can’t live in the bag of holding

    Trunk of holding, bread and shower.

    I barely drive (work from home), would put all the extra shit in my house in trunk and drive with my kids every night for 10 mins so we all get out showers done and well free bread.

      How does the shower work? Does it just magically grant you the same effects as a hot shower, or does it just literally dump a stream of hot water on your head as you drive?

    I don’t see any situation where I don’t go with the parts never wearing out. Like, it could have stated that your parts never wore out, but you hit every red light you ever come into, and I would have still jumped on that one.

    So the parts never wear out and then probably the bread one because I like bread.

    Folding into a light suitcase is 100% the best option.

    That and bread; I don’t want a hot shower in the car…
