Eh, you just notice the ones you don’t like

If you’re gonna do dumb shit, do it smart

Well now I want a gas-powered vacuum

Hang on, got another load

Man, this shit’s kinda wild to me. A hundred years ago, laundry was a whole day, heavy labor affair, at least once a week. Hauling water, mixing and soaking and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing dumping water, hanging and wringing and drying

Now we have machines ad utilities that do 98% of the job, and it still feels like all I fucking do

I’ve had tools, teachers, and time.

I can’t solder or braze to save my fucking life, but I’ll weld circles around you with oxy, stick, mig, or tig.

Doesn’t make a damn bit of sense to me

I dabble with blacksmithing. I’d take it in a heartbeat

Ah yes, the sun, heating up my car to millions of degrees with its nigh-infinite fuel source. As it does.

Yeah, insulation matters, that’s half the point of the forge. The other half is the fuel you’re using. Regular wood fires cannot get hot enough to melt steel.

Oxy/acetelene torches burn hot enough they need no insulation to nearly instantly liquefy steel. Propane cannot do that. Even with the oxy.

Anyway, are you talking about the live footage I watched in school? Where they clearly collapsed from the bottom, like a controlled demolition? The day it happened?

We had a half day

Different fuels absolutely burn at different temps.

I’m a welder and a blacksmith.

When you’re using coal, you use an easily ignitable fuel, like wood or naptha to get the coal to burn.

The coal burns hotter and is harder i start than your starter fuel, and cannot be started with just a spark.

The coal burns down into coke, a totally different substance, which burns hotter than the coal.

Even still, on your third level of fuel, in order to actually get steel to a workable temp, you’ve got to add more oxygen, to make it burn even faster and hotter.

This is all inside a forge, a device that’s well insulated and made to heat steel to a workable temp.

There are other fuels that can be made to work, and they all also require blower fans, to add more oxygen.

Or in the case of an oxy/acetelne cutting torch, a bottle of pure o2

Charcoal, derived from wood in a similar fashion to coke from coal, can sort of be used, but does not and will not burn hot enough for anything much larger than a spoon, and aimply can’t get hot enough for forge welding.

Now, essentially a giant housefire, getting hot enough to get those steel beams to fail? Sure!

Why’d they collapse from the bottom, that wasn’t on fire?

Peta is a front by the meat industry, to discredit vegans and environmentalists.

The concept of conspiracy theories as you understand it is a ruse, a misinformation tool.

Look up mk ultra, and some of the other shit the cia has actually gotten up to.

Or hemmingway, being paranoid and crazy. Ah, turns out they were following him and fucking with him, even inside the loony bin!

Nowadays you get qanon and other obviously stupid bullshit rolled under the conspiracy theory label, and that’s the fucking point

So sinclair, the one company that runs basically all major news outlets in the US, can discredit anything with one turn of phrase.

So like yeah, you’re kinda right. But there is real, fucked up shit that gets swept under that label, and ignored at large because of it.

Yep, I dabble in blacksmithing.

You get it going -smokey as shit at first-and it melts together into a lighter, more solid piece that burns hotter and cleaner. That’s called coke.

Then you toss your irons in

Your post reads like a buzzfeed article.

Next you’re going to tell me to lay off the avocado toast

This is pretty rad, thank you!

Who’s got a copier at home?
Or at the library!

Ah, landowner class, checking in with bullshit as per usual

Man. I zapped all my cookies the other day, and when I re-loaded reddit, it forced me into a new new version of the mobile site.

Now almost every single comment that isn’t top level is hidden behind the ‘more comments’ button. When I click it, the whole page reloads, with the top comment and the one response. And a button for the next reply. And so on.

I’ve noticed since this change, almost no posts have any discussion any more at all. Which honestly. Why would you bother?

So when they steamroll this place so hard you only get their side of the story, what then?

The fuck is wrong with you?

If you like meta so much, why are you here?
