Go with the pizza.

TET is not the most logical place to ask if you should be a responsible adult, by the way.

I mean, I would suggest the lunch.

But then it's Monday, so, go with the pizza.

I mean, it kind of is, but then again the answer is almost always going to be a collective "nah, who wants to adult right now?"

It's not a matter of desire. If you do not die young, sooner or later you are simply going to be an adult.

Last time I went cycling for a prolonged period, I passed at least ten immaculate lawns in the process of being mown by robots. I didn't know those lawnmower robots had become so popular in recent years. I remember when the idea of robots moving around outside was a strictly scifi one, but the same goes for having handheld computers. We are truly living in amazing times, never mind the absence of flying cars.

We don't have a lot of those here, it's mostly jesus and friends who do the lawn care around here.

Always wise to keep those apostles occupied, otherwise they're going to stir up trouble in the neighbourhood with their dogmatic teachings.

No, and he doesn't even turn the crabgrass into wine.

The advantage of a flying car is that it only breaks down once when in flight. This is also its most fatal flaw and the reason why flying cars are not really an option.

Seemed more like middle class, actually. The upper class over here tends to have bigger lawns and double garages. Lawnmower robots actually aren't that expensive if you go for one of the more compact models.
