A huge aluminium tube that hurtles through the sky at ridiculous speeds, with folks inside it.
People willingly strap themselves in, then pretend they're not bothered that they're ten kilometres above the ground and it's -60 degrees Celsius outside.
Actually they'll complain about the food or the temperature being a couple of degrees too warm or cold, when actually it's fucking miraculous that we can sit in ignorance of what's really happening around us, stuffing our face and moaning about it all.
I think I just plagiarised Louis CK but the point is it's a commercial airliner.

I feel like absolute garbage, I've been stuck in a sky can for 14 hours with 300 other smelly folks.

Similar to "what it do", but asking of possibilities in the future, not what's going on in the present. It's a greeting like, "whats up?" or "how are you?", posing the question, "what can we make of this?". It's not asking whats happening or what will happen, but what can happen. . . What can we make of this opportunity which is the present?

(v) people who are broke that go out to bars anyway and wait for someone to get up from their stool so they can swig on their unsupervised drinks. They typically move from area to area so the can't be pinned down by a waitress or bartender and be discovered to be broke
My girlfriend got up from the bar to go to the bathroom when some guy tried to drink so we can drink. Little did he know that I was with her so I prevented the crime

4. Where internet culture meets bathroom breaks. Fast. Funny. Unfiltered. Raw. Maybe a little too relatable.

6. Where you go for a little peace and quiet — to laugh, think, and learn something about the world, all without leaving the stall.
7. We all get cultured on the can.
