​

it should be mandatory, this is the future.

 

[Hrothgar]

New version of Hero Wars?

 

[Doggg]

They nekkid

 

[Volimar]

I'd prefer a main deflector dish like the Enterprise has to gently move opposing pedestrians out of my way.

 

[neoak]

I laughed when I first saw it.

but the force that thing would move you, it would at least break your neck from the whipslash

 

[androvsky]

"But what if they're both..."
Gets to last part.
"Ah"

 

[Never the Lesser]

But what if two pedestrians facing each other are both wearing the device?

Edit: I see…

 

[Tbm24]

Ok I was not at all prepared for where that was going. Laughing my ass off over here.

 

[Burly]

Seems like a lot of effort to move out of the way when I could use the same system to rocket jump over the guy in front of me.

 

[mute]

I guess if I have to strap on this huge backpack to go for a walk I might as well put on a Hans device too.

 

[WedgeX]

lmao

See, in America everyone just drives so you never have to worry about hitting your head against someone else.

 

[AuthenticM]

japan

 

[Walter White Walker]

I'm not strapping on a horizontal jetpack thing just to walk on a sidewalk.
They're way overthinking this.

 

[spam flakes]

Lmao.
Worth watching til the end.

 

[Paroni]

I'm onboard if the jetpack lets me jump over oncoming pedestrians.

 

[Helix]

??????

 

[Davidion]

It looks a little underengineered for my tastes

Also, I miss Hawken. Those who know...

 

[Dyle]

Finally the Pepsiman modding community is getting the attention it deserves

 

[PAFenix]

Future is now old man.

 

[Rosebud]

The blue guy just keeps walking like nothing happened

 

[echoshifting]

Finally, a solution for someone awkwardly joking "shall we dance?"

 

[Hellsing321]

Just give me the Vanquish robot suit so I can glide around on my knees.

 

[rsfour]

I just can't with how some people use the sidewalk, especially if the sides are muddy, or there's a bunch of snow.

And you're walking towards two+ people, who continue to walk side by side, instead of the other person going behind the other momentarily. Fuck these people, I'm standing my ground, and staying on the right side. Whoever is in the middle can fuck right off.

 

[Wyndstryker]

The headaches from the whiplash of that jetpack would definitely be an issue for me

 

[Squarehard]

Dat end.

 

[Daingurse]

Bahaha. All that sudden acceleration would fuck you up so bad.

 

[The Albatross]

and people say there's no progress anymore

 

[mrmoose]

Click to shrink...

then when both of you have jetpacks...

At first I thought it was going to be a backpack with turning signals.

 

[carlsojo]

Bahaha. All that sudden acceleration would fuck you up so bad.

Click to shrink...

Yeah but less so than the embarrassment of both of us trying to get out of each other's way

 

[Qikz]

[Reversed]

Pepsi man 2 looking a bit ass

 

[Galkinator]

I've been to Japan twice and can confirm this device is very useful

I learned a trick from my dad. When you're walking towards people and you don't want to move, simply look off to the side like you're looking at something. It used to work fairly well, but I'm not sure if it would work today since the rise of smartphones. I don't walk around crowds these days.

Same. I was surprised to see there's a smaller device for kids. Next time I want to rent one for my daughter

 

[Daniel Jackson]

Hey they stole my idea

 

[SalvaPot]

I just turn on my directional to show them where I'm going.

 

[fadedbones]

this shit is hilarious lmao

 

[copelandmaster]

A person quick boosting like an AC would shred their feet and pop the leg joints out of their sockets, minimum. They'd be begging for a broken neck lol.

 

[Geode]

How to break your neck in less than one second lol.

 

[FTF]

lol thank you OP, I needed a laugh rn.

 

[BarcaTheGreat]

I was gonna ask what if they both have it... Then it was answered

 

[SaberVS7]

Just have this music automatically play when another human approaches within 5 meters

[machine]

We should also adopt the Japanese horse racing system.

 

[kmfdmpig]

As someone that mains being a Wing Diver (EDF) I thought this was the norm.

 

[Jakenbakin]

I'm just glad Doctor Manhattan is still getting work

 

[Mg.]

what's the price of jet fuel anyway?

 

[Mechaplum]

Can confirm that this is also how planes avoid each other in the air.

No you're just not thinking about it enough

 

[PinkSpider]

As someone who went to London from the North last week just avoid people and don't randomly stand still without finding a corner.

 

[Fat4all]

finally

an end to awkwardness
