    When stupid people think their opinions are as good as opinions from experts, the world edges closer to extinction.

      There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

      Obviously… since it’s AC power it doesn’t matter what direction the powers going.

      Some people just don’t know how stupid they sound…

        That’s not how that works, moron. Wind turbines only spin one way (see image above), so they clearly generate DC. Obviously, to convert it to AC, there are little hampsters in wheels switching the direction of the electricity back and forth.

        Idiot.

          Nice way to display your own stupidity. Everyone knows hamsters have fallen out of fashion for that like a hundred years ago. Gerbils is where it’s at!

        Plus the static electricity in there stays in the same place either way

          I don’t get how spinning a fan to make wind helps with electricity. They’re just big versions of the fan in my lounge room and that requires power to work. It’s all a Bill Gates scheme for more money.

            All these hurricanes they say as related to global warming coming at the same time they install all the giant fans? I might not have gone to school but I can see what’s going on!

            They’re all 5G antennas / amplifiers and the faster they spin the more 5G mind control waves they put out

        If it’s just AC power what am I gonna do with all my other gadgets? Can I make the AC blow into my fridge and keep my food cold?

        The hilarious thing is, this letter is absolutely intended humourously. It’s from the comic Viz, and the “Letterbocks” section regularly contains jokes and letters mocking the letters sent into newspapers.

        Maybe attempted satire, but definitely not from a hilarious person. Once you’ve met these people in the wild, these jokes stop being funny.

          They’re letters arranged in a sentence and people assume you can here the emotive voice in their head when they wrote it. This is why the /s exists. Without it sometimes people can’t tell and rightly so. Not using and /s and thinking you’ve wooshed someone can be ironic

            I’m invoking Poe’s Law. I’ve met people, family friends, who would flip between Climate Change not being real to Wind Turbines causing Climate Change. The posted image is absolutely possible to have come from a true believer.

        Almost certainly, the British do sarcasm in a way that the colonials just don’t get.

        Lemmies are often too autistic to realize this.

          I can’t believe people are taking this seriously even after it’s been pointed out it’s blatant satire

          Yeah, British humour is not something an American can understand. If there’s no “laugh here” sign, then they’ll never understand that it’s a joke.
