Do you remember those playground contraptions that let you shovel up sand?
That shit went crazy.
Are ebikes gizmos?
Yes.
nothing screams more “im operating a contraption” than piloting a helicopter
fite me ill die on this hill
piloting a helicopter
die on this hill
Expected result tbh.
live by the contraption die by the contraption
