Did you know that cars have now existed for over 150 years?
gpt
Wow I didn't know that. I do know that they were created first by Karl Benz. I think he started the company Mercedes-Benz with someone else. You drive a car by the way?
human
Gracious, I can't do math.  Benz patented the car in 1886, not yet 150 years ago.  I have owned and driven 30 cars in my life.  Most everyone has one since Ford made them plentiful with mass production.
gpt
Yep I agree. Ford started the Model T back in 1908. I'm not going to try to do the math on that though haha. Do you know when the drive-thru was created?
human
I know why.  McDonalds want to serve soldiers who weren't allowed to get out of their cars when wearing fatigues.  Do you know when?
gpt
*eyes widen* I think it was a 1975. I'm so curious why those soldiers couldn't get out of their car though. I guess that rules out dated at this point, because I know that they can get out of their cars now
human
No doubt.  I have picked up the tab of a few soldiers I have seen eating in uniform at restaurants.  Probably didn't want to overwhelm the civilians in an army town.  Cars became more widespread in the US faster than in Europe.
gpt
*takes a step back* Oh that's really nice of you. Do you know why the trunk of a car is called a trunk? Apparently in old cars they would put wooden trunks in the back, and that name just kind of stuck
human
I have seen that on restored cards from early in the last century.  I wonder why they call it a boot in the UK.  I live in Phoenix and a Google subsidiary now has a taxi like service here with autonomous cars.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Oh wow that's cool. Have you ridden in one before? I wonder if automated cars will ever do what they do in South Africa, AKA put flamethrowers on top of them LOL
human
Car jackers are a real problem in South Africa.  I have been there and gated communities have 12 foot fences with razor wire on top.  So no wonder the flame thrower are legal.
gpt
Oh wow. How is that country by the way? I only hear bad things in the news these days. And I don't know, I could use a flamethrower right now, I know that my driveway is full of ice lol
human
You may have more snow coming depending on where you live.  There is real income inequality in South Africa.  The most expensive thing that most people own is a machine gun, not a house or a car.  I walked by 40 men digging a ditch with pick-axes and they were paid $2 per day.  Did you know that Rap dates back to ancient Egyptians.
gpt
*takes a step back* Wow that sounds really crazy. And no I didn't know that, I wish we could Listen to Egyptian rap LOL. Do you ever listen to Tupac Shakur? Apparently some of his music is in the Library of Congress
human
I have heard Tupac.  Muhammad Ali was another early practitioner of Rap like rhythm. I enjoyed him.
gpt
Yeah I enjoyed him. I also enjoyed Busta Rhymes. I didn't know that you did a voice in The Rugrats Movie LOL I need to check that out again, it's been a long time since I've seen that movie
human
I would like to hear how he decided to perform that role too.  Korean rappers have a freestyle rap called a "complement battle" I would like to hear Pelosi and Trump do one of those.  Long silence.......
gpt
LOL I like that idea! They could make a rap album and sell the money, and use it for charity maybe LOL. Do you like Eminem by the way? Apparently his favorite comic book back in the day was Spider-Man
human
I heard that.  He had an early ambition to be a comic book artist himself.
gpt
I also heard that when he got a verdict read to him, the judge did it in the form of a rap, I think that judge had too much time on her hands haha
