But what if the drones run out of battery? --DollarStoreBa'al^converse 18:54, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

"what if the drones run out of battery?" What If the Amazon/UPS delivery truck with the '''What If? 2''' book you ordered runs out of gas/diesel/juice? Maybe they attempt repeat delivery. Maybe a refund is posted in 7 to 10 business days.

I was going to write a transcript, but I can't figure out how to describe how this is supposed to be a time series in a single panel. I'll let someone else do it. Barmar (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

"how to describe how this is supposed to be a time series in a single panel" It is three moments in time, superimposed. "Slide is delivered", "Hikers slide", "Slide is removed". PRR (talk) 22:35, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Four moments in time actually. You forgot "Hikers orders slide". 2001:9B1:40D0:C300:102B:825:C539:3F33 01:06, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

I'd also like an on-demand ski lift for upwards segments 73.222.207.213 23:54, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

I feel like this comic deserves a parody of "Jack and Jill went up a hill". Barmar (talk) 19:37, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

This is how I learnt there were waterslides. 64.114.211.21 08:59, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure this would improve the hiking experience for me; not because I have anything against waterslides, but because the downhills are a valuable rest period in between unpleasant ascents. If it were over in a moment I'd still be exhausted at the bottom of the next rise. 79.77.240.136 19:18, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

And probably thoroughly wet, to boot. 92.17.62.87 00:05, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

I prefer ascents, and having bad knees don't like descents. Last summer I did a 1400m ascent to a mountaintop, with only 250m of descent. Lovely! On-demnd slides (they may be dry ones) would make the experience even better for me! IIVQ (talk) 07:38, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

This raises the possibility of drone-delivered escalators for ascending Mount Everest. These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For (talk) 03:38, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
