It's like he he's Bruce Lee, but really he just wants a donut.

I love how the guy hears this insanity, immediately looks down at the ground, like "uh oh" and then over at the woman like "you heard that too, right?"

You just need to read it in Bill Nye's voice.

He almost sounds like he's going to start talking about auras and spiritual healing, but it quickly turns into getting a donut delivery

Mr. Finite Battery Heart aficionado at his best. Ugh.

Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.

Orange man with swiss cheese brain.

What is he talking about again ?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can't function.

He's talking about how energy is required for pretty much everything, like if you were going to make donuts (on a stove for some reason) it would take energy, it took energy for them to get to your home, etc. I always hated things like this, like this is one of the most coherent things he's said, it's like the boy who cried wolf, when it's actually noteworthy we're already tired of hearing it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You’re doing what the media and his followers do, though. You’re interpreting for him.

There may be a coherent idea behind what he says but his ability to express it is severely deficient which is further evidence that he is unfit for the presidency.

"Energy is required for all work" is not really a noteworthy statement.

If he managed to say it as coherently as I just did, it might be noteworthy, except for the fact that it would be inevitably followed by an incessant stream of gibberish.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago

Take a second to remind yourself that if "this is one of the most coherent thing's he's said," how far the bar has been lowered for him and this behavior.

"It's not fair to pick on him for this, he completed a full sentence!" Oh, well whoopity-fucking-doo for him.

He’s talking about how energy is a stove, if you make donuts.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

it's not a truck?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Maybe if you don’t make donuts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

That'd be tacos

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It'd have to be a big and amorphous one, though.
