Other than the tape recorder and the fact that my vision phone is a MacBook, that IS basically how I order my groceries.

AWESOMECAKES:
At the town depot there are also other pipes—giant pipes that run the length and breadth of the country. This is a clean, efficient way to ship anything from a box of nails to a crane.
If someone buys a new electric car, this is the way it is delivered. The car is wrapped at the factory and dropped into the pipe full of liquid. Large pumps along the pipe keep the liquid flowing. Detectors at the pumping stations make sure there are no blockages and that the goods arrive at the right place.
When the car reaches the town’s main depot, it is lifted from the pipe, unwrapped, and delivered.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why can't I enter the future this way? I swear my attempts to enter the world of on-line groceries have been more trouble than they're worth.

Always Anti-fascist!
I like Community, but I guess I usually have movies on Thursdays. And Keith and Rachel take up a lot of viewing time that used to be fiction. Unless it's that O'Donnell guy...West Wing or no, boyfriend's a pompous ass. Of course, KO is not immune to being a pompous ass, but either his humor helps or he's a PAILF. Perkins, I also hate Chevy Chase. Except that he's in rhyming slang now...that's funny.

The toast starts life as ordinary sliced bread.
Ever wonder what sliced bread was the best thing since?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Now I'm curious. Though I think sliced bread has been replaced in the construction which currently sits: "The best thing since pay at the pump."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Other possibilities.
The Best Thing Since...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
-t is the anti-me in this, apparently.
We're complementary. We should live together! I'll clean the kitchen during Community, you can tidy something up during Parks and Rec, we'll have a clean house for The Office and 30 Rock. It's a foolproof plan. Aside from all that pesky geography.
