The Title Text should read "...uncontrollably-swerving cars", not "...uncontrollably-swerving cats".  But I don't have the heart to change it.

after loading this into the browser plugin I noticed a loop caused "physically expands" to become "physically physically physically physically physically expands" and I began pondering whether the adding of extra physically-ies made the word intensify. Then I wondered why someone would need to intensify the acknowledgement of physicality. Then I looked at my hands, like REALLY looked at my hands.

The 'dog -> drone' relation could also be a referance to a Half-Life 2 robot called "Dog". This "drone" helps the protagonist, Dr. Freeman, with tasks that could otherwise not be completed by humans, much like todays drones. {{unsigned ip|197.234.243.234}}

The substitution is one-way, for example "years" becomes "minutes", but in the example, the substitution is backwards. {{unsigned ip|134.255.101.92}}
