- Why does communications technology get worse with time?
- Why aren’t two phone networks interoperable for an arbitrary reason? Normal motorway users can’t talk to people on the “fast lane” because they are “different classes”- this phrase is meaningless.
- Why must there be more than three people in a car to conserve fuel when the very same cars have “self-replenishing fuel”.
- Why, despite being set in the year 5,000,000,053 (!) has technology not improved much? Sure, they have flying cars, but the buildings are still made from bricks, and the old women have glasses… have they not heard of laser eye surgery?
- Cat/human cross-breeding?
I don’t mind pseudo-scientific explanations or even the characters simply talking shit, as long as it makes logical sense and is internally coherent in the universe in which the series exists.
