I can't distance myself from this enough to say, "neat".
All I can think is, "horrifying" and, "run for your lives!".
My heart goes out to them.

25 years ago, when I was very patriotic (and young and ignorant and full of testoserone) I gritted my teeth when our high school history and economics teachers foretold the gloom and doom of our credit based economy, the pyramid scam of social security, democracy's "no one will vote themselves out of a job" issue that can only lead to an unsustainable bloated government.
I heard them but I didn't listen.
Time has proven them correct: the credit scam hit the fan (no citation needed), social security is doomed to fail (no citation needed), and the only thing the voters vote for is more spending that either benifits their job (only support gov't reps and contracts that protect voter even at the detriment of other districts/states), their property value(bonds (i.e. credit)for civic improvements, schools, roads, police, fire, parks, etc.), or their tax exposure (awww, a family of four with two kids in college on $250k is 'near poverty', Fox News said) with no regard for the collective good (because THAT would be Communism!).
If there is a solution that does not involve a 'reboot' lasting years and years, I have not found it yet.

Is that a US National Forest marker in the foreground? If so, then this is graffitti within a protected NATURAL area and I cannot support it. The last thing I want to see when I have escaped to a primitive area is art by someone whose ego has convinced them that they must improve the place (graffitti, cell phone tower, paved trails, etc.).
However, if this IS a legal 'paint tree' area... carry on? Sherman Williams' slogan, "cover the earth" makes my stomach turn every time I see it. I will never purchase their paint.

Honestly: Not 'neato'. Not even a little bit.
It's called 'Facebook' because the darn thing is chock full of face pics, no?
And what is up with the duck lips? bleckh.
Next!

As a hall monitor with nothing better to do, I tried my lock's combination on every locker on the top row of the hall I was 'guarding'. There may have been 100+ locks and I was able to open 4 of them.
These crappy locks have a tolerance of like 4 or 5 numbers, meaning that if your combination is 1,1,1 you could still open your lock by dialing 3,3,3 or 39,3,0 so where you might think you a protected by great odds (40x40x40?) it is truly much, much smaller. I doubt that there are even 40 combinations to begin with as it would require too much retooling and handling at the factory. I could be wrong...
Any way, the easiest way I found as a teen to open them was with a flat blade screwdriver: Using the locker as your anvil, give the screwdriver a whack with your fist while aiming at the top of the number wheel's edge. With one solid knock, the wheel will be loosened enough to wedge the blade underneath, twist and pop the dial off. Now aim the blade between the center shaft that held the dial and the case of the lock. Another good hit with your fist and EVERYTHING inside the lock falls apart and to the bottom of the lock, releasing the latch. (BTW, the shim method is far superior to 'my way' and even leaves little to no trace that you were ever there)
Why do I share this? Mainly, because my locker was broken into multiple times and the schools forbid you to use a better lock to protect your belongings so you end up schlepping 50lbs everywhere (all books, lunch, etc.. If the locks are proven obsolete, perhaps someday they will improve and kids will have at least some security and privacy (from other students).

Much like the Y2K hype. Would things really be so primitive if we had to relearn to survive on the technology of the 70s?

With Miiike on the fail of this idea.
I have yet to see an idea from this artist that I like. The ideas are often impractical and sometimes dangerous (and sometimes are already out there?). And yet, several features from Neatorama? Don't get it cuz it ain't neat.

Glad the officer could help as he has the hi-vis squad car to halt traffic (I almost got creamed rescuing a tortoise with only hazard lights to protect me...). Many would swerve recklessly to miss a ducking in the road so our hero here is doing far more than protecting some birds.

I thought sidesaddle in smaller vehicles caused motion sickness. I think I read that back when some pickups had side seats and others faced forward...

Not Neato - Fewer things are these days (Is Neatorama running out of material or am I becoming jaded... perhaps both?) ...anyway back to the article.
No helmet? Were collisions ever considered?
Lock the front wheels on a hill and the only thing saving you from smashing your face is a design which will flip over forward and body slam you onto what appears to be 2" steel tubing. I will bet this thing could not even handle tagging a curb as the friction would pull the erring front wheel into the curb further while lifting that corner of the elongated triangle. Doooom.

This cannot be true for all feminine tears. Makeup sex usually cannot wait for the tears to dry. Tears can even be sexy... perhaps emotional tears contain something that gagging tears do not? There is also the Bloodhound Gang's take that lapdances are always better when the stripper is crying (but that is entirely satire I hope)

I trust those cuts on the hand are not related? I can see where reaching over a knife to snatch at the escaping tomato could be disasterous.

Hmmm. With a rotating blade, there is a speed range where a blade's cycle is useless because relative to the grass, the blade's momentum would be insufficient*. Then, a bit faster and in spite of the blade going the 'wrong' direction, it would still sever the grass. So.... I submit that replacing the mechanical blade and with a stationary one would leave more torque to drive wheels while remaining a proper mower (just requires a bit more speed).
* Fun mental experiment -
1.picture a blade spinning under a mower at just under the speed required to sever grass.
2. Begin rolling the mower which adds more speed to one side of the blades cycle... eventually enough to sever grass only when the forward side is nearly perpendicular to the direction of the mower's movement, and even then, only on the outer edge where the blade is traveling the fastest.
3. Continue slowly accelerating. Plot in your mind the area of the blade that is now at cutting speed and notice that this area is growing.
4. Take a moment to consider the moment when we have achieved such a speed that even the 'back side of the blade' is now cutting grass... which is to say, the forward facing edge of the blade, traveling in the opposite direction of the mower, is now striking grass in spite of its design.
5. Plot the cutting areas shape throughout this accelleration.
6. Imagine how the cut of grass varies (3D translation of our cutting area) throughout this experiment.

Ahnother clarification, hundreds of kiosks with hundreds of these devices... can I dream of public wifi for it, too?

I wish libraries were more efficient. I have friends in the business I can't share this with them but I have always envisioned a device with every book on it... like next decade's e-reader w full color, weatherporoof, and several terabytes of storage... Hundreds of these devices could be distributed throughout a city via a network of vending machine sized kiosks. Blockbuster is obsolete... and IMHO, so is the gigantic warehouse of paper. Just to be clear, I think libraries are taxes well spent just outdated in implementation.
