Most stuff that gets posted here is just horrible and bleak shit, so here’s some catastrophically absurd libertarian brainworms instead.

And this is why I say we have a duty to make the cheap ones and fly them anyway. The laws which make this the case are equivalent to those which made people walk in front of early cars waving flags. Between our current fear of any risk, and the vested interests of the powers that be in existing transportation, the flying car will never happen until someone builds one anyway, and allows everyone else to follow in there footsteps.

    That’s right up there with the bodybuilding.com thread where the guy couldn’t understand that 7/2=3.5

    I hate HOA busybodies as much as the next guy, but those libertarians are crazy. They actually expected OP to do nothing about his next door neighbor trying to teach himself to fly a helicopter. They were saying he should wait until the rotors are flying onto his property, otherwise he hates freedom.

    My favorite detail is that he spent $40k of his $100k scratch off lotto winnings on it.
