The futuristic world of 2033 will be very different from our current primitive one. Humans will be seven foot tall with thumbs as long as fingers. Mars will have been fully terraformed, whilst there'll be hundreds of vast floating cities on Venus. A Dyson swarm will encircle the solar system just beyond Neptune's orbit. Humanity will communicate telepathically as one with AI. We still won't understand cats.

I honestly don't think they'll exist yet. Just trying to be realistic.

Yeah, making a hunk of steel stay in the air is physically impossible.

With the amount of accidents and deaths drivers cause on the ground I'd rather flying cars not exist.

Yeah… If two cars collide in mid air, you’re going to see some burning steel raining on your roof and backyard. What a lovely thought.

That must mean that the cats will have transcended by then if such advanced humans could still not understand them. Welp, guess my only option is still blink slowly and pay them katzen the respect they expect
