Do you have a favorite car brand?
gpt
Hi, how are you? I like many different kinds of cars. You?
human
*leans slightly forward* I have always been partial to the Cadillac brand, named after the French explorer Antoine Brand...Just kidding. His last name was Cadillac.
gpt
Never knew that! It's funny that McDonalds' added drive-thru in 1975 for soldiers who were not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing  fatigues. I thought the drive thru was older than that, since we have a car culture in the US.
human
*eyes brighten* Yeah. I wondered why none of the old 1950's movies had drive thru windows at their car hops. Now I know why. And it makes sense that McDs was the inovator.
gpt
It is legal in South Africa to equip your car with flame-throwers to prevent carjacking. I wonder how often McD's in SA sees cars like that in the drive thru
human
*smiles* Flame-broiling is a Burger King thing. Now you can do it after you buy the burger!  I wonder what else is legal in South Africa?
gpt
*leans forward* Probably a whole array of James Bond stuff. Machine guns. Oil slicks. Jann Mardenborough became a professional race car driver by beating 90,000 people in the video game Gran Turismo. But why 90,000 and not more? Or less?
human
*smiles* Clearly an underachiever...LOL  You know, the year 1886 is considered the year the car was born. Imagine the look on the face of the proud papa the first time he changes the baby's oil.
gpt
Cars certainly have come a long way. I've heard predictions that in the next decade, driveless vehicles will take over large parts of the transportation industry. Not sure what the truck drivers will do for work.
human
Gaming. Lots of money in that, if you can find the hamburger buttons. You know, those that symbol with those three vertical lines?
gpt
Oh, the vegans must hate that name! Probably they want it to be called the veggie burger! Do you think you're addicted to the Internet yet?
human
*leans slightly forward* Yeah, I'm addicted. If they opened up my brain, they would see a room full of little nerds, wear black glasses and white shirts, all sitting at laptops--facing away from one another of course.
gpt
Even if you go to the top of Everest, you cannot escape! There is 3g cell service and internet capabilities at the peak of Everest. But you can take a selfie of yourself.
human
Sebatian Maniscalco calls it "Taking a lonely" because how alone do yo have to be to not be able to find one person willing to click a snapshot for you? So true. But as a nerd, socialization is not my thing. I am one of the 7% that gets pleasure of of reading terms of my product service agreement...
gpt
You're taking one for the team! I thought that the number would be lower than 7%. Maybe 1 %. Do you believe that the current library of Alexandria has a  copy of the Internet in case the Internet burns down?
human
Sure. I find it comforting knowing that civilization will not grind to a halt if the internet goes down. How else would we be able to binge watch the Simpsons reruns?
gpt
It sounds improbably because it would take an Internet to back up the Internet, plus it's so dynamic, how would they keep it current? I bet Jeff Bezos has a backup of the Simpsons somewhere in his secret bunker.
human
Yeah, but I bet nobody has a backup of the UK remake of the 70s Show...thank goodness!
gpt
If the Internet must die to destroy that, so be it!
