Thats the big question lol most social media comments are making fun of police, transit security etc. They apparently couldnt tell what it was until they picked it up with the BombBot to really examine it lol

Its funny and kinda sad at the same time lol

QuoteA passenger discovered the item hidden partially under a seat of the MV Burrard Beaver boat during the evening commute between Vancouver and North Vancouver, said Transit Police spokeswoman Anne Drennan.
The RCMP explosives unit dispatched a bomb-sniffing dog and robot to investigate the "package" which had wires sticking out of it.
"What was found was a very old Walkman-style device. You couldn't tell what it was until the robot got right up to it and it could be viewed from the robot video," Drennan told The Huffington Post B.C.
"We apologize for any inconvenience to passengers but I think most would agree that you have to take all precautions when you don't know what you're dealing with."

I wish there was a magic time bubble, where time would basically stop.
In the bubble, you wouldn't have to worry about aging, but you'd be able to do stuff and sleep and whatever, while outside the bubble time pauses.
This would eliminate any potential problems with making the day longer.
