While it seemed like a fun prank at the time, I realize my prank fire extinguishers full of leaded gasoline were a mistake.
If anyone else is also curious on why "putting mold on infections" is more good than crumple zones:
They [molds] also play important roles in biotechnology and food science in the production of various pigments, foods, beverages, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes. - Wikipedia
My beef with the placement of that item is that it isn't even further down the "actually a good idea" axis. Penicillin -- perhaps the most important medical innovation of the 20^th^ century -- rated less "actually good" than mere laser eye surgery and fecal transplants?! C'mon, Randall!
Combo washer dryer are never as good as two decent machines. Empiric fact.
This graph is rather discutable.
project orion was awsome and the nuclear panic ended it.
Wouldn't a fake prank fire extinguisher just be a normal fire extinguisher?
I… am strangely ambivalent and conflicted about soup.
I recognize logically and rationally that it should be lower or to the left, but would personally place it higher or to the right.

Yesterday I heard a conspiracy theory that the reason lead was added to gasoline was to keep the Pouge carburetor from becoming viable because it allegedly used pre-heated gas vapor to achieve 100-200mpg efficiency, but the lead clogged it up instead.
Here's my own counter-conspiracy on that... if everything we read says that it didn't actually work, why did Breen Motor Company claim it worked when THEY tried it? And why did Pouge suddenly disappear?
How dare they put heelies in the bad section
For real, all credibility lost.
