'''Thingy technology''', also known as '''thingee technology''', covers a type of technological [[Plot Device]] that allows the characters to do neat stuff without having to get too much into the details. Named after its creator, [[Mr. Thingy]], thingy technology is widely used by the LNH, and rarely used by "normal" people, since [[Drama]] is a byproduct of its use. The central power source of thingy technology is the '''thingy.thingy'''.

(Thingy Technology is most seen in the [[Classic Looniverse]], but is also available for use in other LNH worlds.)

== Common pieces of Thingy Technology ==

* '''Flight.thingy''': One of the most common ways for LNHers to get around, the flight.thingy is a flying craft capable of taking off and landing in most places without too much trouble. (Comic book equivalents include the X-Men's Blackbird, the Fantastic Four's Fantasticar, and the Avengers Quinjet.) Flight.thingees can be small or large; some only carry one person, while others hold enough for a major crossover. [[Parking Karma Kid]] is the most common LNHer to see piloting such a craft. The '''space.thingy''' is a related piece of technology, able to navigate outside an atmosphere across interplanetary distances.
** Note that, originally, the term "flight.thingee" referred to a ring which allowed the user to fly on their own, and is sometimes still used like this.
* '''Net.thingy''': The net.thingy is a self-contained vehicle with the ability to pass between [[newsgroups]]. Net.thingees often have maneuvering capabilities within a newsgroup-world similar to flight.thingees.
* '''Comm.thingy''': Allows communication between widely separated LNHers on mission. Often ''Star Trek''-y.
* '''Scan.thingy''': Similarly ''Trek''ish, this device allows gathering of information on anomalies, weird radiation, and [[Hackemon]].
* '''Translator.thingy''': You get the idea.
