I can well imagine that these are the kinds of things conservative Americans think of when they babble about the good old days.
Let's make a green house effect lawnmower so it needs AC!
1960 in the USA was indeed very much Fallout
More like Fallout is very much 1950s in the USA
yea or that
Perfect. When climate change makes the outdoors unlivable, but you still really really need your manicured green desert in front of your house. Love it.
The lawn has been plastic for two decades, since the Earth is unlivable even for grass, but you still like going through the motions.
Maybe they could even pump in some artificial scents of freshly cut grass with the AC. Feels more immersive that way.
This is the future!
Once the atmospheric CO2 levels rise high enough, this will be sold with an included CO2 scrubber. Then you can mow your lawn without getting symptoms of CO2 poisoning. Like in the good old times in the 2020s!
"Honey, it's your turn in the popcorn popper."

"Be cooked and irradiated in the comfort of air conditioning while you mow your lawn!"
Also sold under the name "Sunburninator 2000" and "Skin Cancer Deluxe".

Why do you say that? If it's polycarbonate it would filter out UVa and UVb, like cheap sunglasses. The guy that mows my lawn is in direct sunlight.
Yeah, heat stroke would be the bigger danger in that, when it’s 185+ after 5 minutes in direct sun.
Yeah, it's not for wimps, eh.
Motorcycle with ac!
