I knew you were italian as soon as I read that lol. Basically my uni life too

You are not slow. It’s that people don’t know what mozzarella looks like so they think it’s the dried shredded one they put on the pizza. Like thinking that coffe comes directly as a drink or calamari are ring shaped…

Oddly specific… What are you doing OP? Should we be worried? Honestly “faster than light” travel is already too generic: do you mean going actually FTL or breaking the space barrier with wormholes or space displacement shenanigans that “look like” FTL? That said, Earth destroyed in a few decades because of the research or the PRODUCTION of such method? A little bit of context would made answering this question way more interesting…
