If I could copy/paste cars, I'd exactly do that

I wouldn't but only because there are already too many of them and they take up too much space...on the other hand if they could be pasted and then deleted again after use that might have some applications.

be wonderful to be able to cut your car instead of park it, then paste when you're ready to go.

I copy+pasted my lunch without thinking and overwrote my clipboard; guess I'm sans vehicle now.

ok, I'll program a HUD with an inventory. to start everyone gets 5 slots to hold stuff

I'm not stealing your car. I just need it for a while, to train my AI model.

I would pirate a car, if I could do it as easily as I (allegedly) pirate movies.

Isn't cloning font legal though? As compared to copying floppies which is punishable by death?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why exactly would I pirate a font? Sans Serif is like the only font that you need.

No one will take your notices seriously if they're not in Comic Sans.
