[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

If you genuinely want to do that then try this: (there might be a limit of 30 seconds for a ringtone so you might not be able to use the whole song)

Being Amish?

lol, this makes me think of the history memes dude. Are they really knowledgeable or just Wikipedia anything you say for 30 seconds before they respond?

Is there anything people on the internet won't claim they are an expert in?

My extensive expertise tells me it depends.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No it doesn't, I study this subject for a living and have a degree in expertise-analysis and all of the results I've gotten in the past few decades show that there isn't. Stop lying when you don't know what you're even saying. /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I demand sources! Not because I want a fight, just for the sources. If you provide them I definitely won't just stop replying. Cos I want facts not a fight obviously

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Why would I provide sources to you if you and your generation are too addicted to video games and slang terms to even search it up on Google‽ You're obviously trying to contest my authority on expertise-analysis without even knowing a single word of what I'm even saying rather than looking for a genuine discussion like the angel I am.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

This made me laugh really loudly for ten seconds. Kudos.

I, too, am extraordinarily humble.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm so humble I could teach Mother Theresa a thing or two

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Mother Teresa was horrible person that didn't actually treat the sick so she could observe their suffering

You can't tell me there isn't a coprophilia / coprophagia forum out there somewhere.

I almost electrocuted myself trying to test if a random wire in my friend’s attic was live or not.

It was indeed. Very much so.

I’m not an electrician and I couldn’t find my non-contact voltage tester. I accidentally grabbed my computer hobbyist-level testing multimeter instead of the one that handles higher voltages. The fuse exploded and sparks flew everywhere and the multimeter screen cracked. I don’t know why the screen cracked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

It was the magic smoke escaping through the screen.

I don’t know about lots of stuff but I approach life with the zeal of a challenger, to quote Ichiro.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

They won't claim they are an expert in the core of a star.

Or rather, while they may claim the expertise, they won't be able to do it from inside the center of a star.

As an expert in claiming to be an expert on the internet I can confidently say no
