What’s a teaboot?

Isn’t it crazy that basically every election at this point is basically like:

• Option 1) We keep the status quo, nothing really changes.
• Option 2) We burn it all down to the ground. Not to rebuild something better, but just for the hell of it.

I think the thing that’s catching you up the most is that you’re assuming Elon has the slightest clue what he’s talking about about. In your mind, you’ve read the words “the social security database” from his post and have made assumptions about what that means.

I’ve worked with databases for 20+ years, several of those being years working on federal government systems. Each agency has dozens or possibly hundreds of databases all used for different purposes. Saying “the social security database” is so fucking general that it’s basically nonsensical. It’d be like saying “Ford’s car database”.

Elon clearly heard someone technical talking about something, then misinterpreted it for his own purposes to justify what he is doing by destroying our government institutions. His follow up of saying the government doesn’t use SQL just reinforces that point.

Trying to logically backtrack into what he actually meant - and what the primary keys should be - is just sane washing an insane statement.

JFC is their moto seriously “The people voted for major reform”? First, they barely won and are acting like there was some monumental landslide victory.

Second, none of what they’re doing is actually what they campaigned on. Trump actually tried to distance himself as much as possible from Project 2025 during the campaign.

Lol had never seen that before, but Jesus Christ that is a painful depiction of my life.

It’s kind of funny, but we all do this to some extent. I used to think most people on Reddit were super smart. If someone says stuff with authority, then it’s easy to believe what they’re saying and assume they know what they’re talking about.

But then every once in a while, I’d come across a topic that I know deeply about - and the comment would just be blatantly wrong, but still have tons of up votes. It really made me start second guessing all the other comments I had read and thought were smart, but it’s an easy trap to fall into.

I guess what I’m really saying, is that you all are a bunch of morons, probably.

UV is extra purple. IR is extra red. Sunscreen blocks the purple.

Wouldn’t that work for a UV camera, not an IR camera?

Don’t post the pic, but what’s the temp difference of balls to the rest of you?

Socks are also warm and cozy, that’s gotta count for something.

Is the sock drawer the same temperature as the toilet water? Logically I would think so, but a weird part of me is saying the toilet water would be colder for some reason.

This is such a concise and accurate description of everything that’s wrong with corporations.

I had never heard of BURN-E before now so just watched it. Poor little dude, he tried so hard!

Pixar has a ton of good movies, but Wall-E is hands down my favorite. So much is communicated without words it’s just amazing. Not to mention, the movie is absolutely beautiful. The scene with them flying around in space with the fire extinguisher is just 🤌

Keep in mind that’s Income Tax. Most rich people don’t actually have income, they have capital gains.

I dunno, that’s what my friend said almost 20 years ago. My time machine is outta gas so I can’t go back to ask him.

I was visiting a friend in the Netherlands, who had to work one day which left me exploring Rotterdam alone. I commented that I was worried about what I was going to do for lunch, since I didn’t speak Dutch and didn’t know how I was going to order food.

He said, “just go into a Burger King and start speaking English - the cashier will understand you unless they completely failed highschool.” I always appreciated that about Dutch culture. They all speak 3 or 4 languages seemingly effortlessly.

Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…

That’s dope as fuck

How’d you pull that off? The question mark looks like filament, not like a neon tube.
