Why tf haven’t humans figured out some sort of jet pack/ flying thing for everyone. Think about it. A 202 ton plane can fucking fly. But humans can’t? Doesn’t make sense.

the roads are dangerous enough without having to worry about it raining down people who can't fly

You're not built in a way to utilize Bernoulli's Principle.

But you could jump off a building and fly for a little bit.

Screw being practical. Looking cool is all that really matters

I had an old boss ask me once, 'You know how planes fly kid?'

of course I said 'uhhh, lift?'

he said yeah, and money! lots of it.

Anyways that's why we don't all have personal jetpacks.
