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.
