   @undead @neilhimself The "flying vast distances" thing reminds me of this funny thought I have every time I fly. If you took away the knowledge that you knew you were flying, the phenomenological experience of flying in an airliner is...you go to this one building, walk down some long hallways to a little waiting room, and then hours later you are asked to leave the room, and you're in a completely different building in a completely different place. It's slow teleportation.

     @ghostdancer @undead @neilhimself There's plenty of awful in that joke, but I will admit it still gave me a good ol' chuckle.

     @roadriverrail Your comment reminded me of the old Amish elevator joke https://www.ebaumsworld.com/jokes/amish-elevator/267556/ @undead @neilhimself

     @fortboise @undead @neilhimself Oh, no doubt. Flying can be a real sensual delight for sure. But sometimes it's fun to try switching some of those things off and playing with what that experience is like, too. 😊
