Everything is a wire if the voltage is high enough.

Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

Oi! As an engineer I worked damn hard to trap that magic smoke in the machine only for you to let it out and try perfectly good components. Treat your machines with respect, they're getting smarter by the day and they're forgetting less and less!

I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.

I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

that just sounds like a weird interview.

"you're qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought"

if true, you dodged a bullet

Assuming that you can draw a triangle from any 3 lines, draw a triangle from lines of length 1, 2 and 3

Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.

Every problem is a nail if you hammer it hard enough.

The dog breed?

I went to a zoo the other day. Only had one animal, which was a dog. It was a shit zoo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Not dog!

Is pAnDa!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

In the least, it had 3 types of shit:

  • dog shit
  • human shit
  • bullshit

Does better as a shit zoo for sure
