    The thing about transporters is that if we had them right now, people would use them for everything. Transport me to the toilet. Transport the TV remote into my hand. Transport a fork into my hand. People would never get out of bed.

        I’m kinda with you, but pizza. Gyros. Tacos. Street food. I really don’t see people giving up deliciousness for convenience. For necessity? Yes. Not for convenience.

        You jest, but the only reason I would step into one of those infernal machines is if they can specifically target things like poop, or cancer, or MRSA
