nah i feel like there are use cases where use would be less physical effort
I mean I guess but now imagine having to charge it or it discharging while you're walking outside or it falling behind.
It's just very inconvenient and bad for crowded places too, easier to steal.
Imagine carrying that while you travel.
yea, no way it would work without a major support setup

Maybe your destiny was just to carry it, and there is nothing after.
you just die after lol
yea it would need all kinds of setup
if we had a better clean energy infrastructure maybe i’d be willing to figure that kinda thing out
