Nothing 'futuristic' about this -but 10/10 for creative, uncommon sense!
I think the point is water as a fuel for cars. That's futuristic :)

Straight out a predator movie, that Green color though is epic!
This is in Colombia đšđŽ my Country... Lol what the heck lol đ
That may be true...but I was wondering how this cop would be able to tackle someone s/he was chasing. Wouldn't the leg pieces become a distraction when detaining a suspect?
Load More Replies...Okay, I REALLY want to know more about this! Anyone got an info on these, um, legs??
Google air trekkers. Very cool idea to give them to police!
Load More Replies...No way, looks like my home town (Ibagué) in Colombia. I would have never thought they would have that equipment
These things require practice but if the guy knows how to use them, he'll be very hard to outrun;)

Does anyone else have directional issues when trying to use scissor with your left hand while looking into mirror? (Assuming your right hand in your primary hand, for left handers - does it happen with your right hand?)
I am left-handed and it happens to me with both hands when using a hairdryer or a hairbrush while looking in the mirror.
Load More Replies...When I'm looking in a mirror, I have to drop the words Left and Right from my vocabulary, and just move "that way" from my hand's current position! (Not that I'd dare do anything irreversible even thus!)
(Oops, this was meant to be a reply to Ladies and Gentlemen.)
Load More Replies...Me either. Learned in colleg, we used to french braid each other's hair so I just felt it being done. But I do have to be facing a mirror, for some weird reason!
Load More Replies...If you Google "Left-Handed Scissors" you'll find out where to purchase some. I'm a lefty and when I was a kid, learning to use scissors was a bit of a challenge.
This Kid Is Living In 3017
Nevermind - I found it on AliExpress. They come in 70cm (27.5") and 80cm (32.5") sizes only. Probably not big enough to fit over the head of anyone more than 160cm (5'3").

I just pay my vet to do it. (It's just 10⏠Vets in Germany are fairly cheap) Fortunately, my dog runs on a lot of paved roads, so her nails hardly ever need clipping.
Tactical Dog Helmets. The Future Is Now
I wonder how much, assuming this is GI for the k9 units, it will cost the tax payers? I mean, a flight helmet for certain planes cost north of $250,000 each. War is a waste of money and life.
What Living In 3018 Is Like
Not that simple. I was forced to go to church until I left for college.
Load More Replies...I think is disrespectful. Nobody can force you to go to church, but if you go, BE there!
I was taught NOT to destroy or write in books... but to go as far as to mutilate a Holy Bible is incredibly inconsiderate and careless. I wish his phone would have started ringing, would have served him right. LOL
Ok, first, that's not a Bible he's holding. You can tell by looking at the page with print on it. Unless it's one of those new language easy reader Bibles, it's just some book that looks like a Bible. Second, you can tell that this 'book' was made to be a secret stash place. That hollow that the phone is in is too smooth for a home job. He probably bought this online as an already created thing. They're not that hard to find. Third, we don't know what he was at the church for. Was it a wedding? A funeral? A baptism? A seminar? An AA meeting? Assuming this pic was taken on Sunday morning during a sermon is silly. So... before you lot get your collective panties in a bunch, actually *look* at the picture and think for a second. SHEESH!
I should have said its some book that might look like a Bible in the outside.
Load More Replies...Of course, this person took out their phone to take a picture of it. Kettle calling the stove black.
And your bible was hollow AND had a hole revealing your phoneâs camera allowing you to take sneaky pictures? đ
The Future Of News
When your media house fires the camera guy and you ended up taking both jobs!
This is sad that production costs are so low that the reporters are basically out on their own. Jebus.
In news that's called a "one man band". My husband used to be a camera man for local news.
"Lost to technology" You mean a stick? And even that only replaces a tripod. This could've been done decades ago.

Haircut And Phone At The Same Time. We're Living In 2018 And This Guy Is Living In 3018
The girl that cuts my hair said they use these for the pervs too. She can see the persons hands and know what they're doing....yeah pretty messed up.
Really? Oh wow. There are some sick people out there
Load More Replies...I can't imagine not being able to put my phone down long enough to get a simple haircut.
I think they can, but they prefer not to. It's about making things nicer for people, not just providing the bare necessities.
Load More Replies...I can just see the Hair Stylist that keeps yanking my head UP so she can reach my hair. She already does it now when I forget to keep my head straight! *L*
Bless. If you cannot be off your damn phone for 1/2 hour, you have bigger issues. Can't people just talk to one another any more?
So you would rather just sit there doing nothing than look at your phone. It's not that he isn't able to not be on his phone, it's just that if he has that option of course he'll take it.
Load More Replies...So addictions like cell phones will completely take over our lives in a hundred years ? How much hair can he possibly have cut to justify putting the phone away for three minutes or less ? This is absurdity on parade.
This Guy Lives In 3018
meanwhile, in 4018 we have these things called "tongs". though to be fair, it is a neat improv idea
Not trying to be critical, but you really aren't supposed to use metal on Teflon skillets. Safer to use wood or plastic spatulas so you don't chip away at Teflon surface and have it get in food.

I'm not a woman so I'm not familiar with this kind of problem. Why don't you wash your hair first and then put makeup on?
Maybe she needed a shower mid-day or in the afternoon before going out again... no sense in re-doing the whoooole "get ready" routine if you don't have to.
Load More Replies...Its really because she is wearing semi permanent eyelashes. She cant get them wet.
yeah if you were clean and fine, but something fell into your hair during the day and you needed to get it out, this seems like it would do the trick
Surely waiting for the mask marks on your forehead & nose to fade cancels out any time saved by not having to re-do your make up? I guess youthful skin must bounce back quickly!
It happens all the time, you do your makeup then start to do your hair and realize it looks super greasy then your makeup is ruined
Beautiful eye make up and now you have a f****n' ugly red crinkle on your face. Good job, innovator.
She probably changed her mind and decided to wash her hair anyway after she had done her eyes. Woman's prerogative; the right to change her mind.

It is at that point when Jimmy suddenly realised that the balcony was not designed to support the weight of all the water in his nifty pool design. RIP Jimmy! He had a bright future...except for in the field of structural engineering.

Great idea until the walls collapse and you get pushed off a 3rd story balcony by 300 gallons of water.
I wonder if this picture has inspired an eviction notice, I know if I lived in that building I would report this
By my conservative guesstimate there's about 3 tons of water on that balcony. I doubt like hell it was that over built.

I'd expect the following events: 1. dripping cheese setting the toaster on fire. 2. damn hot sticky cheese bread being flinged through the kitchen. 3. damn hot sticky cheese bread landing on someone's naked skin, causing severe burns.
It looks clever but DO NOT do this, by the way. it's a great way to burn the side of your toaster and ruin it.
Is this safe? If it is, I wonder why we haven't thought of it before?
I think most people rather use a toaster oven for such things since it is safer and more versatile.

This is lazy parenting. Stick your child in a display chair with a cup and straw. God forbid he taxes himself by holding the cup to get a drink. Much less walk around the store. Heaven forbid he gets any undue exercise.
My kiddo used to connect a long string of straws together like that to fish out dropped toys at McDonald's playland. I thought it was a clever solution.

Hate to tell you but it's your nose you need to cover, your eyes will still water if you breathe in pollen.
Um here in Japan they have had special glasses that help block pollen, they also have special nose clips that have mini filters. Plus ion sprays for hair and face to repel pollen and dust particles. Of course it depends on how bad your allergies are and simple meds will help.
Allergies are also absorbed by skin. So wearing shorts and no face mask covering inhilation is pointless. Just take an antihistamine if you drastically desire to eat outdoors. Why I don't know especially on the grass. Isn't that what picnic tables are for?
... Or you could simply take an anti - allergy pill like cetirizin. Works just fine
