Thanksgiving in the Metaverse

Enter the Metaverse and punch in. All you need is a headset for the luncheon. Digital Turkey doesn't digest until you get a hearse. No need to pay; put down the purse. Reality or Metaverse? Regardless of the answer, the lesson is embedded in the question. Make your mother's plate from Spain to alleviate spacetime pain. How big do you want the table? Attendees? How many require a label? Food prepared in the kitchen or Venice Beach wishin'? See the dishwasher and put the dish in, or 8K Metaverse pitch in? If you subvocalize, actively listen to see how heaven is when they bring the ditch in. Humanity requires physical contact to maintain fractured sanity, but this meta-duality displays reality outlandishly. Of course, as a form of recourse, we can call out until our voice is hoarse. Echoing off the green's located at the virtual golf course while veering off course as the attendees prepare for the next course.

Roundabout the point like a culdesac or walking in circles in climates where it's the coldest at. Is this something we can grab onto, wrap-around, and curve? Are we driving to the gas station to pick up ice where they throw dice or are we making snowballs outside a virtual cottage discarding ice? When it is all connected, to divide it further is to pay a higher price. They see the rice ball, but not the compiled pile of rice.

Flick your fingers in front of your headset to add your favorite spice. An action performed while jumping into a hopscotch box that you step into. Should the next jump be one, or should you step in two? I bet that command will be a menu selection, too, between the first selection and selection two. Some say a pen is a weapon too, but let's get back to why they virtually selected you.

They turned the home into a button. It used to be where the heart is, but we operate around likes and deviate from the artist. The truth of the matter served upon an immaterial Thanksgiving platter is it may be too hot to handle. Customizable seance where the dearly departed sit at tables designed like a candle. Here and gone at the same time, is the purpose of this to eventually all have the same mind? A shared experience within a shared experience. From feet to attic kinetic energy crackling like static. Not an average way of being, but picture what you're seeing. Wee-Bey recoil at the draw distance. We need a seed to plant within this virtually manifested soil instance.

Furthest doesn’t set the record

Longest can infinitely pave

There’s only one moment

One component
