@SapphicGiraffic growing up in florida, near disney world specifically, every day I was like "when are they gonna put monorails around the rest of the city and not just in disney world"
@The_T you think they'd at least extend it to the airports but apparently no
@SapphicGiraffic I remember one of the airports has like a tiny monorail-like thing but it goes like, between two buildings that aren't even very far to begin with?
@The_T @SapphicGiraffic MCO has a monorail between the different terminals and they did like two years ago finally get sunrail running with airport service, but crucially they never opened the depot where I lived so I never used it
@Breakfast @SapphicGiraffic yeah idk I only used it once, and in a post-covid world I will always drive rather than fly
@The_T @SapphicGiraffic I am a huge simp for rail travel, because I hate driving, but especially since 2019, air travel really has become the least humane form of commercial transportation
@Breakfast @The_T @SapphicGiraffic maybe it’s diffurent outside the US, but there is the one caveat that airplanes, due to their air quality already incidentally being regulated, have drastically better air quality and circulation than trains
@The_T @aescling @SapphicGiraffic if there's a person on one end of a plane that has covid, and you're not super close to them, you're probably not catching it
if you're in a train car and there's a coughing baby spewing croup into the air, good luck you are now hotboxing that foul pestilence
but it is true that the plane air is clean, it isn't necessarily pleasant
@Breakfast @aescling @SapphicGiraffic oh is that what the atomic bomb vs coughing baby meme was about...
@The_T @aescling @SapphicGiraffic (disclaimer: I do not believe in the mandela effect) I lowkey feel like I got mandela effected into a world where people got the opposite impression of that meme
the bit was that coughing babies are loud as fuck, and I feel like I am the only one who remembers
@aescling @Breakfast @SapphicGiraffic is it? Like, if there's a person with covid on a plane, you'd still largely be at risk though, right?
idk also planes always feel really muggy to me, which is a separate personal issue
