For the record yes I would steal a car if the owners car didn't disappear

You mean make a copy of the car then.

Man I feel old. It was a reference to this anti-piracy ad:

I, for one, would download the shit outta a car.

I had a dream once that I could download a sandwich. I kept downloading different delicious sandwiches on Limewire until one of them gave me a virus.

That being said I would still definitely download a sandwich.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I play Assetto Corsa. I have downloaded 300GB worth of cars, and I'll do it again.

Then I'll steal a policeman's helmet and take a shit in it.

Pretty sure they meant theft of the theoretical car that might have been sold to you if you could afford it.

I'm not very well versed in Star Trek lore, but didn't humanity basically become peaceful by inventing the replicator, which can exactly do this?

Now imagine being against this development.

I also don't know Star Trek lore but it is basically the answer used in The Orville ("matter synthesis"), which I do know is a love letter to Star Trek in general
