Remember: a can of expanding foam can disable most any vehicle when sprayed in the right places.

Looks like it just got done with a marathon session going down on Big Bird.

No argument there.

Elon Musk is a foreigner that is directly causing our current problems.

Saw a thing once, maybe Mythbusters, that showed how beavers are attracted to the sound of running water and want to stop it. In the show, they got the beaver to dam a speaker by playing river/stream noises through it.

More or less damage than he’s currently doing?

Gandalf was going to tell a tale about Bilbo’s life during the party, and Middle Earth doesn’t have slide projectors.

Chopsticks!

Plane on a treadmill always seems so obvious to me. Planes don’t have power connected to their wheels. Put a plane on a dynamometer and crank the engine up as fast as it will go, and the wheels will still not spin. At the same time, water planes use pontoons and are still able to take off just fine.

The question I have is, can a plane take off with a tailwind that matches the speed that the propeller is pushing out.

I’m smelling an awful lot of bullshit here. If the power grid (or any other major infrastructure) had a known single point of failure that would cause the entire system to collapse, there would be more than 2 people who know about it, and they certainly wouldn’t be vague-booking it to Lemmy.

Ok, ladies: Would you rather out yourself as a woman online, or spend the night in the woods with a bear?

I wonder what percentage of these weird studies that make us ask “why are they spending money on that?” are being done by students working on theses and doctorates and whatnot, and what percentage are non-scholastic institutions asking for government funds to see if you can teach penguins to French kiss.

I like George Carlin’s version: “If God is all powerful, can he make a rock so big that he himself can’t lift it?”

Application process for engraving identification number onto Amazon’s indentured servants.

I think the original idiom was “mad as a hatter” which was eventually shortened to “mad hatter”, possibly due to the Alice in Wonderland character.

The Meow-mix jingle?
