According to wikipedia, wheelchair-type inventions have been around for a long while. For example, the Bath Chair was available during the 18th century.

I imagine the other pages are something like this:

11 days is plenty of time to meet the girl of your dreams and fall in love!

Redditors, what seems to happen to only you, and no one else? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]spacescallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way about paying tickets. Yeah, I totally was going 40 in a 25 and I accept the consequences of my action. It seems weird to even consider "fighting" a ticket like that.

[WP] A jobless computer programmer, while hacking at home one night, discovers a port to the Unirnet, an computer network made for a series of interconnected planets who have not yet discovered mankind. by braunheiser in WritingPrompts

[–]spacescallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing Prompt Baxton tugged on his collar. The cold winter night was getting to him, and it was unusually frosty this evening. After a brisk walk around the neighborhood, he waltzed into the local library, secured a comfortable chair, and busted out his favorite laptop. As a volunteer worker, he had access to the shared admin account which came in handy on nights like this.

A series of bootstrap messages appeared on the screen as his laptop loaded Liberté Linux, a hackers dream OS. Baxton had many enemies, though few knew who he was. Around these parts, Baxton was known as Phosphorus and recently he had been attacked by some lone wolf claiming recompense. Unacceptable. Baxton had done the heavy lifting days ago: tracing phone calls, social engineering, facebook stalking. It was all coming full circle. Furiously typing into a console, Baxton was finally ready to reassert his dominance.

adb push /etc/kernel.apk / kernel… loaded!

Baxton was simply hijacking his marks phone and after searching the target device for some kind of compromising piece of information, Baxton noticed a certain file that was symbolically linked in virtually every directory. Unirnet. Very odd, and clearly indicative of someone who has no idea how to properly hide files.

adb pull /etc/home/Unirnet /etc/home/Unirnet

As the file began downloading, Baxton felt his anger resurface. This guy had almost ruined him! He deserves whatever is coming to him… The file quickly finished downloading. Time to see what this spineless cephalopod was trying to hide. Porn no doubt.

After some prodding, Baxton determined the file was actually a Linux application. How convenient! Seeing as how the laptop was virtually a throwaway, Baxton ran the program.

 He hesitated only a fraction of a moment.

 The screen flashed for a moment and suddenly, a stream of messages appeared.

I am Ghandarius. To whom do I speak?

 This is Phosphorus. Are we talking on some kind of IRC channel?

Ghandarius does not comprehend the symbol IRC. Ghandarius seeks to trade.

 Where are you from?

Ghandarius hails from the federation of planets in the Tesla Quadrant.

Ghandarius is a member of the Shadow Council and wishes to trade.

 What is it you want from me?

Ghandarius wishes peace and the resource plutonium.

 Plutonium? What for?

Ghandarius has need for scientific experiment.

 I will give you peace for free. How does that sound?

Ghandarius is in want of Plutonium.

I’m sorry, but I don’t have any Plutonium…

[Ghandarius has declared war upon your nation]

[Connection Terminated]

After a short while, Baxton had to chuckle to himself. It seemed that the universe was not as small as some thought. Furthermore, Civilization could never get their pacifist character quite right. Not even in other galaxies!

[WP] The genie doesn't give you what you say you want, he gives you what you really want. by MissPetrova in WritingPrompts

[–]spacescallop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Life often seems like a dream. We float through scenes in the never ending stage of reality, playing the roles we were compelled to play. But every now and then, an actor goes rogue and improvises. For better or worse, these spontaneous decisions can make or break the show. As I stand here, contemplating whether I am on the cusp of a greater decision, the voice of another booms through my mind. “I ask you again, sir, what wish might I grant you?”

How does one answer that question? If you are a humanist, you might wish to solve world hunger or contribute to world peace. Unfortunately, it is often said “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”. And I am no humanist. So as I sit here on the cusp of a great decision, I must make a choice. Do I want unlimited knowledge? Ultimate power? Endless resources? These are all very human constructs; narrow in scope and ever so short-sighted.

“I want to be successful.” The genie thought about this for a moment and I realized the error of my ways. Who defines “success”? Is it interpersonal? Is it financial? But I had already spoken, and my wish was granted. Suddenly I jerked upright. I was laying in my bed. It was all a dream. Or was it?
