Do air fryers take that long to preheat?

This is sort of a real thing: in touristy areas they sometimes have signs warning of pickpockets, which causes people to check their wallet location and alerts the pickpockets where the wallet is for easier snatching.

I'm peanut butter, you are jelly

Shouldn't it be a triple? Blatant false representation, a real blemish on the Bubble Butt cinematic universe.

You can put it in a water bladder and strap it to the sun visor. Now you have a handy straw and then it's as simple as taking a sip whenever you feel your vision go unblurry

Nah, the general public doesn't have the time or patience to properly research this stuff or consult the experts. They'll just vote on vibes and we'll just be trading one kind of bad for another.

Keep representatives, just don't elect them. Sortition is the best of both worlds; you still get a sample of the population, but with people who take the responsibility seriously and actually have the time to do the research/due diligence.

It's a once burned, twice shy sort of thing where even if people are technically ok to continue through they might really (ironically) air on the side of caution and aggressively stop to avoid that red light ticket.

Never mind some municipalities were caught shortening the yellow light timings specifically to aid the red light cameras in ticketing more people.

Red light cameras are partly to blame; it makes people more afraid to safely clear the intersection instead of slamming on the brakes

Go to the Bahamas

Can they really be called spaceships if they never get to space?

Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.

One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”

And the other one says, “It's the cobblestones.”

That's a spicy hot take. Upvoted for passion and expressiveness, but hard disagree.

Romance isn't dead

In Back to the Future, Marty uses his father's love of sci-fi books to scare him by pretending to be an alien called Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan. This meme shows the realisation later when the father watches Star Wars (the father is played by Crispin Glover)

Unfortunately, it's more like this

Firstly, the energy output falls far short of what would be needed for a commercial reactor, barely creating enough to heat a bath. Worse than that, the ratio is calculated using the lasers’ output, but to create that 2.1 megajoules of energy, the lasers draw 500 trillion watts, which is more power than the output of the entire US national grid. So these experiments break even in a very narrow sense of the term.

It's so refreshing to see an article at least mention the way these tests are measured are based on the energy just in the laser itself and not the total energy used.

From the US Department of Justice:

Hate Crime: At the federal level, a crime motivated by bias against race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.

So is their argument that owning a Cybertruck is a disability? Because they might have a point there....
