That's true. It can just link up back in the front door. That's it. You don't need the ones in the middle of the 843 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:30,080 Cars anymore, right? Have you heard of the infamous the villages down the retirement community down in Florida? 844 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:36,580 There's a lot of things that it's known for but one thing that's positive that it's known for is they have a whole 845 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:43,540 network and infrastructure for like parking lots and roads and everything just for golf carts like 846 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,600 Miniaturized everything it's adorable. It's like munchkin land 847 00:40:46,740 --> 00:40:48,680 They've got bridges over to the golf course and stuff 848 00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:53,880 But everything is built for like I'm too old to be actually driving a several thousand pound car 849 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,280 So I've got my golf cart and stuff 850 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,300 you can kind of imagine like 851 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,760 Lanes and designated spots and stuff for these carts to be swimming their way back to the front afterward and stuff 852 00:41:04,860 --> 00:41:10,400 That'd be so fun. What an engineering challenge to have like crosswalks and stuff just dedicated to 853 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,220 Pedestrians and carts. Nope. I'm doing hamster tubes above the whole parking lot 854 00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:18,780 I'm coming back. A network of tunnels and elevators 855 00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:24,840 The cart return is just like an empty pit with a conveyor belt 856 00:41:28,420 --> 00:41:32,260 Like a bowling alley return. Just buy a new cart at that point 857 00:41:33,859 --> 00:41:39,520 It just incinerates it. Melts it down. Rebuilds it with Scott's bakery 858 00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,080 It's a base cart every time. 859 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,220 Shopping cart, there it goes. 860 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,120 Don't have to worry about sanitizing the cart if it's the first time it's been smelted. 861 00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:52,360 What are we even talking about in this post? 862 00:41:52,650 --> 00:41:53,720 Exactly!
