I'd rather imagine a world without monarchs, but with more opossums.

VI comes with a clock up in the corner of the screen so you actually have something tethering you to reality.

For someone who is overweight riding a bike, the weakest part of the bike is the rear wheel. If you have issues with spokes breaking or the wheel goes out of true easily, consider going to a bike shop and asking them to hand build you a wheel with a nice beefy rim and a decent quality cassette hub. The wheel might cost $200-$300, but it is worth it to get something solid you can depend on.

Your bike should be compatible with most rear racks.

You have a suspension fork up front, which limits options for a rack there. Sunlite makes a cheap rack that attaches to the cantilever studs that will work but doesn't have a high weight capacity. Old Man Mountain makes very durable racks that attach at the axle, but cost quite a bit more.

Lots of fenders out there that will work, Planet Bike Cascadia fenders are fairly durable and have a good amount of coverage. Whichever fenders you get, you will need a set of p-clamps to attach them to the fork.

Cheap option for a trailer is to find a used kid trailer. Quite capable of hauling all sorts of things. If you go new, a Burley Flatbed or another trailer of the same style will be nicer to use.

Saddles are a very personal thing. What works great for one persons body will be an ass hatchet for someone else. First, ride the stock saddle for at least a few weeks to get your body used to sitting on a saddle. If it still isn't great, try making some small adjustements in the angle or moving forward or backward. If it still hurts, go to a bike shop and get fitted for a saddle. This usually involves sitting on a device to measure your sit bones.

Only other essential accessory is a good set of lights. If you ride at night a lot and hate remembering to charge batteries, consider investing in a dynamo hub and lights.

Have fun!

Offer them a hug. 2074 sounds like a scary time to be alive.

Adding a trailer to your ebike let's you have 4 wheels and the ability to carry gear without having to use a car.

Nah, many brands are capable of making a decent MTB. If you are grabbing something new, $1000 gets you an OK hardtail, $2000 gets you an OK full-suspension. Spending more gets you higher quality parts and lighter weight. Spending less, better to go used.

I'd add a tail.

Plasma Mobile with your distro of choice. Works better than Gnome or normal Plasma, especially when it comes to the on screen keyboard.

My head is now clipping through a cardboard box full of stuff. I assume that wouldn't be very survivable.
