I can't tell if it's real or not - I don't have the data, but it certainly feels different using it.

I think you've captured it perfectly with "Maybe it's daily reminder that all the luxuries are right here, right under your fingers, if only you weren't so miserably poor?"

The enshitification of the car.

It’s possible they also see the storm coming and are too scared to do anything either.

That makes sense. Even in the Pullman book there were natural roadways for rolling.

There are lizards or beetles that tumble down sand dunes.

Maybe cartwheeling humans could lead to some adaptation where the whole body becomes the wheel.

Living in rural Spain service is chill. Am used to it by now. Went to an upmarket restaurant in France other day and it took me ages to realise the waiter was vibing me the whole meal for a tip. Such a weird transactional space. Person literally smiling and being agreeable for money. Insane.
