I've had truly instant ramen when my friend's brother came back from Japan. Dude brought a bunch of cool shit back, including a few cases of self heating ramen and a carton of self lighting cigarettes. Japan is like 500 years in the future.
The future as imagined 30 years ago.
Back when it was something to look forward to
The correct future. Not this corpro-dystopian bullshit
I sincerely hope people aren't still smoking cigarettes in 500 years.
Humanity will always find a way to harm itself.
Let people drink/smoke
Obviously don't let people drive drunk and have specific areas for smokers in public places
But if you're chilling at your house or apartment and want to smoke one outside that shouldn't be illegal
I'm not stopping anyone from smoking. I just hope people have given up such a dangerous and stupid habit by the 26th century.
Do you think they should give up drinking as well?
Two things humans have been doing as a species for over 5 thousand years?
Are you really arguing in favor of smoking cigarettes?
No I'm saying it should be people's choice whether or not they want to
And no one said otherwise.
They're gonna be those reverse ones from The 5th Element and the government limits how many you can have a day.
Or maybe cancer itself is eradicated and smoking isn't dangerous anymore 🤷🏻♂️
wat??
The are existing self heating ramens by using the same tech USA army warms their MRE "just add water" no matter temperature
Ah I remember that scene-- I just didn't think it was cheap enough to actually make sense to use in the real world. I wonder where they're sold bc I don't think I've run across one in the wild.

Just pasting the link here because it won't load for me
Exothermic chemical reaction heats the food, like modern military MREs
There is a chemical heating element at the bottom of the cup. You add water, pull a string, and it will boil the water without a stove/microwave.
It's a thing, I just looked it up
I just don't know where you find it. I've been in Japan for years and never run across it.
