You're a series of tubes!
It's true! I put a potato in my face hole and it comes out between my butt cheeks. A bit worse for wear but it doesn't matter.
They do make slides shaped like toilet bowls
If only we had a series of pneumatic tubes connecting all our homes, you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later.
I still want Futurama style human transport tubes
Like the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel?
Haha probably better to keep the tube closer to the surface of the Earth but otherwise yes.
No thanks. As long as companies send literal shit to homes, I'm good.
There are a few companies that want to accomplish that, but instead of using pressurized gas they want to use a miniature subway system.
For example: https://www.pipedreamlabs.co/

You could proyget pretty good bandwidth with a tube full of portable digital storage. Latency will suck though.
