I have no idea what this means. Help! Save me Car Goons! :saddowns:

It's something people with diesel engines do. You tune it so when you mash the pedal it sends too much fuel to the engine and dumps a cloud of black smoke just like in that photo. There's no reason for it other than to just feel like a big dick pissing off anyone who doesn't hate the planet. For every smug Prius owner you meet, there's an rear end in a top hat out there counter-balancing them by actually poisoning the air for fun.

Also they... hate sluts I guess? I don't know, they look like fun attractive ladies to me.

Edit: there is no actual coal involved.

Also pissing off anyone who happens to be standing behind your car. That black smoke can't be good for your eyes... or lungs... or your general health. :ohdear:

We have a "punch-buggy" style game that revolves around spotting kilts, inappropriate hats (fedoras, top hats, tiny lady hats), goggles, waxed mustaches, ponytails on dudes, man-updos, and other sartorial blunders. I think a guy with a top hat, goggles, ponytail, and waxed mustache wearing a kilt, no shirt, and a cape and riding a unicycle is the ultimate winning hand in this game.

The saddest part is that, since I live in Cambridge, it is possible this magical thing could occur at any moment.

My favourite thing about 40K fanboys is just how seriously they take their magical grimdark space marine setting for 15-year-olds.

How can anyone possibly take WH40k seriously? Isn't the whole point of the setting that it's completely impossible to take seriously? It's a universe where painting a vehicle red makes it go faster and attaching a chainsaw to a gun is an upgrade.

Nerds have the ability to take anything seriously. Ironically grimdark future-space setting becomes straightforward grimdark future-space setting. Joking about how you'd totally marry an anime becomes talking seriously about how you've married an anime. Self-aware genderqueering among animation fans becomes dressing up as a cartoon pony.

Having read a more in-depth study done on a theoretical battle between Trek and Wars, the sheer amount of no research that went into that link is... I tried several different wordd but all I can really find to fit the feeling is :negative:

It may sound spergy as hell but the people that created these universes went pretty in depth and wrote technical details on nearly everything that exists in them. To disregard all of that detail is the height of intellectual dishonesty. I'm putting too much thought into this.

Don't feel too bad, it's also not good for their engines. All that soot gums up the rings and can eventually lead to a wondrous experience called Catastrophic Engine Failure. :allears:

I didn't see any rules in the OP about it, so if it's ok I would like to post an Idiot on Linkedin I found today. I was checking out the people that had looked at my profile recently and I saw a guy who was a public speaker and was in charge of a non- profit that teaches kids science. He also had this image up on his profile.



Do you guys want to hear me nitpick over those numbers? Or the fact that there isn't a Parliament in this country? Or should I just say it is so incredibly stupid to post something like that on a professional site and how does he have a job and I don't oh god...

So the word 'Parliament' doesn't tip you off on which country this image is about? :raise: Income tax isn't exclusive to one country and hating taxes in general could amount to supporting like minded people in other countries. Or am I missing something/giving them too much credit?

But you're right on the money about it being incredibly stupid putting it on a site trying for a more professional and less social image.

Well, after seeing posted here so many British xenophobes that steal American xenophobic macros, it's only natural that our xenophobes steal their British xenophobic macros. :patriot:

edit: Wait I just realized that it says "Indian Citizen" at the top. Good to see other countries getting in on the xenophobia.

With a sample size of everyone I ever knew who played World of Warcraft, I wouldn't describe that relationship with any sort of words approaching "casual".

Furthermore, who cares? Choosing to entertain yourself a certain way doesn't make you special, smart, interesting, or more culturally worthy.
