    If someone is so far out of the world, I wonder if he sees traffic signs and -lights just as funny flowers or something.

    Out-crazying all the crazy passengers. This probably stops so many stupid rants and conversations dead in their tracks.

    5/5 pro move.

    A bartender a few months ago told me electric cars were way more dangerous than ice cars because the batteries emitted a gas that caused cancer. At first I thought he simply got confused and meant the opposite but no, he repeated it: the batteries in electric cars emit a gas that give you cancer.

    I did not push the conversation any further.

      Lead acid car batteries can emit a bit of gas, especially the old ones. That’s why when jumping a car you’re supposed to put the negative on the frame. Probably thinks it’s all batteries.

        yeah but that’s hydrogen, and you place the terminal on the frame because if it sparks when you connect it the battery can blow up from the hydrogen it’s offing.

      I mean, if you poke the battery, something hurtful comes out of it.

      Please don’t poke batteries.

    Sometimes it feels like that with social media and related platforms. Both Zoom and TikTok seemed to go from something I’d never of to things that everyone was talking about overnight. In Zoom’s case, it definitely seemed like guerrilla viral advertising. Like when everyone was talking about Stanley™ cups for a while, not flasks or water bottles but Stanley™ cups.

      So you’re saying Zoom did COVID?

        I sometimes imagine some introvert developer at Zoom getting a monkey’s paw: “I wish I worked at one of the most well-known companies in the world, and I wish I didn’t have to keep going out and meeting people!”

    I’ve had air fryer before they became popular. It was called glass convection oven. I still use it because it’s larger than any air frier you can buy.

      The magic of “air fryers”, other than a good marketing name, was that they were also much cheaper that those awesome glass convection ovens and were not targeting a higher class demographic.

        This isn’t true. Broiling is when heat is applied from above, also known as grilling in the UK. Convection ovens move hot air all around the oven and cook things evenly from all sides. Air fryers are counter-top convection ovens.

        Glass convection oven works in exact same way as air friers. Heating element with fan on top blowing air downwards which then circulates in the glass bowl. Mine even has custom made non stick perforated plate where I put the food and it’s surface is way larger than largest air frier I’ve ever seen.

          A lot of convection ovens have fan in the rear, now what?

          it’s surface is way larger than largest air frier I’ve ever seen.

          Is that a flex? Air fryers are faster because their volume is much smaller than the traditional oven.

            Air fryers cooking speed isn’t because they are small, it’s because they produce a large amount of heat compared to their volume. Being small makes that cheaper and easier to do.

            Toaster ovens/convection ovens can match the same affect, although most dont. Some, do.
