I just want this on a hot day

We do have freeze-dried food which is the same principle. I usually buy a bunch to carry on hikes. Add cold or boiling water (depending on dish) wait a few mins, stir, and voilà! You got a decent spaghetti bolognese.

What do you mean? Kanye west dresses like this today as well

I guess early to mid 1940s could fit but I feel like things wouldn't turn out the way he'd expect

I'd be happy if we had fake-looking 3d holograms that were huge and could operate out in the open air and daylight, with a high refresh rate, and were even able to surround a person.

EDIT: and didn't make any unwanted noise, like a drone swarm.

Anyway I wasn't even born yet
