This just made me think… people always complain about missing out on a future that promised them flying cars. Turns out that we have flying cars now. We just call them “helicopters” and it turns out they’re hard as fuck to operate.
Judging by Matt from Tech Diff doing it in a sub 2-hour lesson im going to go with: harder than the average idiot could handle, but if you’ve played like, any amount of games with 3d helo style movement it’s actually easy to pick up
Even easier if you’re already used to using your 4 limbs for different purposes (like riding a motorcycle)
Scene opens: a still of a helicopter with blades sheared off after colliding with an electrical pole, sparks are spraying from the severed power lines. You can see the passenger seat, there’s a man in a jumpsuit peeling a nectarine painted like a grenade, looking worried and shouting. The camera pans to the pilot’s seat with a scrappy brunette a determined, but concerned look on her face. Cue record scratch.
Brunette: “Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.”
Today someone would just watch a YouTube video and then steal the helicopter. Nobody wants to put the work in anymore.
The GTA generation
Final words: “I’ll just raw dog a helicopter. How hard can it be?”

A Cessna is also a flying car and they’re easy to operate.
and all it takes to own one is millions of dollars!
