MODERATORS
When stupid people think their opinions are as good as opinions from experts, the world edges closer to extinction.
- Isaac Asimov
Or more succinctly; don't conflate your ignorance with someone else's knowledge.
Lemmy's mum has got it going on, she's all I want and I've waited for so long
The lesson to be learned here is that shitposting doesn't just happen online.
This person is almost certainly on a wind up.
It's from Viz; their letters section is basically The Onion
Poe's law.
This was a while ago. Now they are not ashamed anymore, to weaponize their ignorance.
Obviously… since it’s AC power it doesn’t matter what direction the powers going.
Some people just don’t know how stupid they sound…
That's not how that works, moron. Wind turbines only spin one way (see image above), so they clearly generate DC. Obviously, to convert it to AC, there are little hampsters in wheels switching the direction of the electricity back and forth.
Idiot.
Nice way to display your own stupidity. Everyone knows hamsters have fallen out of fashion for that like a hundred years ago. Gerbils is where it's at!
Mongrel.
Way to tell us how dated you are
It’s common knowledge that stink energy from ferrets is the future
Pft! You kids and your new-fangled mumbo jumbo. GET OFF MY LAWN!
You should sell your idea to Adrian Newth
Plus the static electricity in there stays in the same place either way
I don't get how spinning a fan to make wind helps with electricity. They're just big versions of the fan in my lounge room and that requires power to work. It's all a Bill Gates scheme for more money.
All these hurricanes they say as related to global warming coming at the same time they install all the giant fans? I might not have gone to school but I can see what's going on!
They’re all 5G antennas / amplifiers and the faster they spin the more 5G mind control waves they put out
If it's just AC power what am I gonna do with all my other gadgets? Can I make the AC blow into my fridge and keep my food cold?
you'll have to take into account that this comes from the UK, where "The people in this country have had enough of experts"
Thats some next level stupid
it's the britain that made brexit happen, of course it's next level stupid.
spoilers : it's been getting worse since, I escaped in 2018
😬😬 sorry my dude, hope your future is better wherever you ended up.
No chance this was satire from a hilarious person?
The hilarious thing is, this letter is absolutely intended humourously. It's from the comic Viz, and the "Letterbocks" section regularly contains jokes and letters mocking the letters sent into newspapers.
Maybe attempted satire, but definitely not from a hilarious person. Once you've met these people in the wild, these jokes stop being funny.
They’re letters arranged in a sentence and people assume you can here the emotive voice in their head when they wrote it. This is why the /s exists. Without it sometimes people can’t tell and rightly so. Not using and /s and thinking you’ve wooshed someone can be ironic
I'm invoking Poe's Law. I've met people, family friends, who would flip between Climate Change not being real to Wind Turbines causing Climate Change. The posted image is absolutely possible to have come from a true believer.
Almost certainly, the British do sarcasm in a way that the colonials just don't get.
Lemmies are often too autistic to realize this.
I can't believe people are taking this seriously even after it's been pointed out it's blatant satire
Yeah, British humour is not something an American can understand. If there's no "laugh here" sign, then they'll never understand that it's a joke.
Are you sure they did not just want to make the reader say "cocks" in their brain?
That's literally just humans being human
Poe's Law is smarter than you.
Dude there's people who think the death is flat, this isn't that crazy.
