I just want this on a hot day

We do have freeze-dried food which is the same principle. I usually buy a bunch to carry on hikes. Add cold or boiling water (depending on dish) wait a few mins, stir, and voilà! You got a decent spaghetti bolognese.

What do you mean? Kanye west dresses like this today as well

I guess early to mid 1940s could fit but I feel like things wouldn't turn out the way he'd expect

This was my first big laugh of the day. The best part is how my sleeves would fold up.

I'd be happy if we had fake-looking 3d holograms that were huge and could operate out in the open air and daylight, with a high refresh rate, and were even able to surround a person.

EDIT: and didn't make any unwanted noise, like a drone swarm.

Anyway I wasn't even born yet
