Realistically probably this originally started as somebody being told about hydrogen fuel cells and people telephoned it into a conspiracy theory.

Realistically it probably started as a scam as, like the “this one weird trick! Doctors hate her!” thing. The premise is simple: learn how to modify your car to run on water instead of petrol (which sounds wonderful - so cheap! So convenient! Imagine if you could just fill up a bucket and dump it into your fuel tank and it’d work!). It sounds intuitively plausible - water is a liquid, petrol is a liquid, car is a machine that turns liquid into vroom - and frankly nobody in the general public knows why water-powered engines violate thermodynamics, only that they do (assuming they do).

And you really need to understand that these scams target the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. The fact that it filters out anyone who applies critical thinking and education is a feature, not a bug.

To be fair, if you go out to a loud party you’re not likely to meet many introverts there - they’ll all be at home, unless their own extravert friend dragged them out to the party.

Maybe from Saudi Arabia? No umbrella-shaking in Saudi Arabia.

You would think employees would learn to hold the handrails at all times during onboarding.

There’s not just one “the” gurney with a bad wheel. A good third of the gurneys will have a bad wheel, because they’re all from 1983 and haven’t been maintained since, and the wheel will sound like the screams of the damned if you try to move it forward any faster than a snail’s pace. And it’ll vibrate harder than a massage chair.

Okay so it’s a martial art then, and killing younglings is a kata.

Just code up a lemmy plugin that lets you embed basic interaction for navigating 4D shapes, my dude. It’s just basic eigenvectors.

Possible candidate responses:

1. Solves it (too smart for job)
2. “That’s bullshit, who needs this for a $14.50/hr job?” (too intolerant of bullshit for job)
3. Tries to solve it but fails (lacks self-awareness for job)
4. Knows they can’t solve it so doesn’t even try (too lazy for job)
5. Doesn’t understand the question/comprehend what a hypercube is (too dumb for job)

Is it a religion if it gives you the power to shoot lightning bolts? That’s like saying proper gun maintenance is a religion.

The person who wrote the screenshotted comment clearly doesn’t think too deeply about anything, let alone the specific definition of “surfing”.

The first step is to learn basic social skills so he doesn’t make said twins disregard him the moment he meets them. First impressions are important.

Wod’ve been better if it were rail. It was really kind of stupid for him to go so all-in on oil-based transport like that. Even diesel trains would be a better choice than cars, but given the inevitable war shortages, it probably would have been sensible to stick with either coal-powered steam trains, or electric trains.

The reason you will never live in boat city is that Venice is an overpriced tourist trap.
