"You wouldn't download a car!"
Wait, I absolutely would download a car if I could... or food... or clothing... I'd download the shit out of physical goods if the technology existed. Who wouldn't? You could solve scarcity. If we had Star Trek Replicators, we'd be living in a literal utopia.

- cammikebrown 1y agoThe “download” catchphrase is a joke, it was originally “You wouldn’t steal a car”, which I’d argue is true for most people.

- theshackleford 1y ago> it was originally “You wouldn’t steal a car”, which I’d argue is true for most people. Sure, but it's only true if you stretch the definition of what's occuring. If we stretched it in the other way, in that "stealing" a car in fact left the perfectly fine original right where you found it, the vast majority wouldnt think twice.
