The last vending machine in the universe

Last night I had a dream that I was living in a Space Station!

As the sole occupant of this lovely Space Station, I needed to figure out what to do for food - that's where the vending machine came in!

The dream quickly turned into a nightmare when my credit card wouldn't work on the vending machine. Why do all my dreams have to involve finances?!

A time traveller’s guide to leftovers

I just had a crazy thought about time travel after watching that time traveling movie with that crazy doctor - I think his name was Frank.

If someone time traveled back in time and ate a sandwich that was intended for someone else, would that completely change how the course of time went? Like, could a sandwich be so significant that when you went back to the present, you found the world ended or something?

That would definetely be a significant sandwich. I wonder if it would have honey mustard on it or not...?

The robot that reviews human hobbies

So AI has been making big grounds lately. Now it can do your homework or tell you how to live your life. With such an important piece of technology now available, I wondered what it could do for me?!

I asked AI "AI? What should I be doing with my life? What hobbies should I get?" Well let me tell you, AI is not as smart as it seems.

It first asked me what my current hobbies were. I told it all about my favorites like space ship battles and trains and role plays. I'm pretty sure I broke it because I've been told the data center crashed shortly afterwards. Some answers we'll never really know...

First contact should start with a board game

I'm like, 90% sure I'd be the perfect ambassador if Earth were ever visted by aliens. I'm not talking aliens like E.T or that green lady from that scary movie about Muck. No, I'm talking about super cool Aliends - like the ones from Star Trek - but not Star Wars.

As Earth's Ambassador, I'd show the aliens all the cool stuff we have, like. video games or Monopoly. I've got a pretty good feeling I could kick their but at Mario Kart!

Before they would leave to go back to their planet to tell them how super cool we all are, I'm sure they'd beg me to go with them because they'd be blown away by how cool I am. But I'd have to say no. Someone needs to look after my Mom, and who is going to do that? Her evil boyfriend Harley? No way!
