Actually a re-translated line from the German Clockwork Orange Soundtracks lyrics. 😂

Thank you very, very much!

German lyrics are quite different though, but translators will provide hints.

@Saupreiss @mast0d0nphan @nickofnz
You're feeding my interest in learning german.
I need something to focus my mind into.
I'll listen to them, I know very little german music.
Thank again.

@tulainas Quite a challenge I heard.
As for the band, they changed a lot over the decades and are now quite mainstream (and on their final tour afaik).

Ashwin Dixitashwin@defcon.socialOct 17, 2026, 12:53 PMHere's a possible solution. Let's improve it collectively, and maybe we can reduce pollution, take care of the Earth, and make for better quality of life.

Yes, that's pretty much what I suggested. One can remain in one's own vehicle, to nap, or have alone time. Or go to the social lounge to hang out with others.
That's only when the vehicles are enqueued in a convoy and being towed long distance.
At the destination, they get dequeued, and you can drive around yourself, as you like.

Jeff McNeilljeffmcneill@fosstodon.orgOct 17, 2026, 1:11 PM@nickofnz I want a flying car but I need the other things first. Flying car is maybe a nice to have, maybe. The other things are necessities.
Oct 17, 2026, 2:59 PM@jeffmcneill @nickofnz I do not want flying cars. A large number of the drivers I encounter don’t do well in the current style of motor vehicle with tires on road. The idea of them being airborne is horrifying.
- Jeff McNeilljeffmcneill@fosstodon.orgOct 17, 2026, 11:45 PM
@CatDragon @nickofnz Absolutely, but there may be a nice use case akin to light aircraft. Highly regulated.

@jeffmcneill @nickofnz rich idiots bypass regulations

@CatDragon @nickofnz not with light planes

I want full size pockets in my jeans that don't cost me extra money.
ninintrembath@mastodon.socialOct 17, 2026, 2:12 PM@nickofnz Well, these are just “soft-falling,” publicity-stunt cars using 1950s tech.
bitbit@ohai.socialOct 17, 2026, 2:35 PM@nickofnz I could accept flying cars, if they were tested on billionaires.
Dianealienghic@timeloop.cafeOct 17, 2026, 3:02 PMThe rich want flying cars to make it harder for the masses dying from lack of water and weather chaos to pull them from their cars and beat them into a bloody pulp

@nickofnz Amen. Or foldable lcd screens, or a smart c***k ring that also monitors my a**ole.
I want sustainable energy storage. Not batteries as we know them. Batteries are NOT sustainable. Everything is about energy. Everything hinges on a sustainable energy storage technology.
Dave 🐶Cyberoutsider@infosec.exchangeOct 17, 2026, 5:26 PM@nickofnz Yeah, but some rich people want more money.
And they've got more money than you to make enough noise and publicity to make other people people they want the flying cars that'll make them money.
