This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

And if we shared cars instead of owning them it would also save on gas for everyone
And if we paid someone to drive the car around for us it would be swell
Also if we do that we might as well make the car bigger
You know what's more efficient on gas than rubber on road? Metal. If we made the wheels metal we would have like zero rolling resistance
That tears up roads though so we should probably pave the roads with metal
That's kind of expensive, so we should only pave metal directly underneath where our metal wheeled car will drive
If we're going to do all of that it should be bigger. Multiple cars connected together.
Hey we can get rid of gas entirely? We could run this thing using catenary arms and overhead cables. GENIUS!
Adam Something, is that you?
Couldn't be. Adam ruins everything, this is perfection.
