I love that it's being presented as a legit good idea. Wait until they discover a weapon to surpass Metal Gear e: Microcline posted:I've always wanted a half-hour investigation on Dahir Insaat, because the videos are clearly being produced by a team of people. Like is it the earnest beliefs of a rich failson or a self aware effort to monetize views/clicks? I'm pretty sure they're just patenting a bunch of ridiculous hooplah and making proof-of-concept videos in the hopes that someone eventually comes up with something that vaguely resembles it and they can claim their piece.

Like is it the earnest beliefs of a rich failson or a self aware effort to monetize views/clicks? I think it's a mix of both. Because they actually posted a proof-of-concept video detailing one of their insane turbo-articulated arms that would be the basis for most of their hypernuts technological ideas on their YouTube page and... it was a barely functional piece of garbage. And then the "company" disappeared from existence shortly thereafter. So it's kind of "serious fraud with lofty failson dreams".

I have a vision of a couple making it on that bed, and right as the man reaches the vinegar strokes all the shaking makes the bed think there's an earthquake, so it triggers and those ultraviolent roofs either fatally brain the poor guy or they lop his head off. Not one for those who toss and turn during the night.

I've been in a 7.0 quake. Those things are a bit scary. And a lot longer than everyday quakes. Somehow no fatalities when it happened though, but there were aftershocks for a month.

Mine is the tiny robo-dentist that fits on the crown of your tooth and is powered by what looks like the plutonium suitcase from Back to the Future and connected via a long wire that just dangles out from your mouth, and it will totally never malfunction and just annihilate your tooth altogether or send a high-powered servo-actuated drill bit careening into your gums or cheek by mistake. Nope. Totally safe. Thanks, Dent-hir Insaat!

But seriously, that’s all Dahir Insaat actually is. They try to patent insane tech marvels in the hopes that if someone actually goes and builds them on their own, then they can reap all the money to be made from it. ...They’re insane.

Every few months, some clueless news service gets the EarthQuake Bed video, which results always in people spamming that to TieTuesday and Slowbeef over their riffs of those videos. Which are great in not only both being hilarious, but both of them having some level of expertise on engineering and business.

nine-gear crow posted:Yeah. The guy who functionally birthed the alt-right into a solid cohesive mass reaped none of its grift benefits. That's almost as hilarious as all the folks who rode the wave he started to fame like Milo and Richard Spencer and Laura Loomer winding up thousands to millions in debt themselves because the grift dried up on them. That's almost heartwarming. It's like watching the CG creators who aren't EVS or Dickie Meyers' IndieGoGo pull in, maybe, a little over a thousand bucks.

"Firing people without police reports"  I wonder what'll happen when they learn that an offense can, in fact, be fireable without being criminal. And that's leaving aside that many of Mignogna's actions are criminal in nature and that whether or not someone is fired has nothing at all to do with whether or not they're prosecuted or convicted.

Harrow posted:"Firing people without police reports" I suspect a lot of these dudes lean REALLY hard into the "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" thing because it allows them a lot more leeway to be little shits. The "I'm not touching you!" theory of social interactions. More charitably, some of them might just be autistic as heck and need some kind of empiricism to navigate social situations, but these days I'm much more inclined to assume bad faith on the part of people bitching in comments.

These creeps love capitalism until it serves something other than their sense of entitlement. It’s “there are no girl superheroes because the market is giving people what they want”/“this girl superhero only exists because the creators were pressured into it by girls!,” but about employment. Ask these guys about unions or worker protections, for example.
