In a "perfectly rigid" stick (a fictional invention), the speed of sound is the speed of light.

It's worse. He's using them as a human shield

That reminds drag of Halo, though significantly more silly.

In Halo, the Covenant are on an interstellar crusade for holy artifacts left behind by the Forerunners. When they discovered the planet Harvest, inhabited by humans, they saw tons of artifacts on their scanners. So naturally, they landed on the planet and started blasting the humans to steal the artifacts. But the more humans they killed, the more artifacts disappeared from their monitors. The humans must be destroying the artifacts out of petty spite! What heresy!

The Prophet of Truth is curious about what kind of artifacts the humans have, so he goes to talk to an ancient Forerunner AI they have in storage, Mendicant Bias. Truth shows Bias the symbol that they keep seeing on human worlds. Bias says "You fool, you've got it upside down. Turn it around, see? It says Reclaimer. It means a person the Forerunners have chosen to inherit their empire. You've just been killing these humans? No wonder the reclaimers keep disappearing, you're the one who's doing it!"

So Truth realises that he's been ordering his troops to kill what should rightfully be considered demigods by his religion, and who he should be worshipping. And he realises that if he reveals this information to the people, he and the other Prophets will lose all their political power since there are Actual Fucking Gods walking around. So naturally, Truth declares a Holy Genocide against humanity so that nobody will ever figure out that he's guilty of Deicide and that their entire religious political structure is a lie.

Raise up your scythes, defenders of the land!

They widened the roads, increased the speed limits, and made the cars bigger and more blind.

So kids died, a lot, and parents banned going outside unaccompanied. Kids got tired of asking mum's permission to go to the park like a baby, and just played video games instead.

Damn, the Boston Dynamics dog is Nazi now 😔

If you're the kind of person who thinks feminism is annoying, then you deserve to be annoyed. It wouldn't upset you if you were cooler.

What does 86 mean?

Thinking everything is fine leads to apathy. Thinking there's nothing we can do leads to apathy. The correct thought is that it's bad, but we can fix it.

That ~~guy~~ lady is a silly and you're supposed to think she's wrong. She's teaching lies in order to justify a bad worldview.

Who the hell decides to put 9/11 on Nickelodeon? Kids watch that!

Yes, it's Italian for little boy. Italians started calling men little boys to insult their intelligence. Immigrants brought the slang to America. And Americans are so misogynist, they started using the word to call women stupid, and did it so often they forgot that the word could even apply to men and had to invent a special male version, himbo.
