You're Only An Idiot If It Doesn't Work

 


I just finished watching a YouTube video of a small business making soy sauce. This sauce is so expensive four tablespoons cost around $125. It's a long and involved process.

I wanna know... how did this begin? Who decided one day to grind some soybeans, add a little bit of this, a little bit of that, let it sit for ten years, then press out the sauce from giant stacks of cloth and wood?

The same with silk. Some person decided to make a beautiful robe of various colors using the cocoon of the silkworm. Someone had to touch that cocoon, pick it, boil it, pull and twist it, dye it, thread it, sew it...

 How about a stinky, smelly sheep. " I think I will make a sweater using that stuff."

Did that same person invent knitting?

And

Baumkuchen (A German cake)

Or

Those hard candies bought at Christmas time that sit in a can for five months until you're feeling snackish and the only thing around is that big sweet lump stored behind the Early Times whiskey you keep in stock for Grandpa Bill. 

I've watched videos of how they make the intricate design in the center while they keep the sugar soft, yet not too soft, and how they have to thread the soft sugar on a hook and ...

Who started that?

Paper

Glass

Glass blowing. "Hmm, I'm gonna stick my mouth on this tube and blow on some frickin' hot lava."

Pickles

Kimchi. "Hon, isn't this the jar of vegetables you made six months ago?  I'm gonna try that."

Kanji. Why? There are over 50,000 Japanese kanji. School children are expected to learn at least two thousand. It's beautiful, but it's just so much. Any language is a wonder and how did they begin? One cave dweller points to stick...

German neanderthal: "Stock."

English Neanderthal: "Stick."

"Stock. "

"Stick."

"Stock. "

French neanderthal: "Baton."

But then you had others in your circle using, stock, stick, baton...

It boggles my mind when I think of all the amazing creations with complex steps someone started with varying results. R.I.P.

Kudos to the many brave souls who were curious and just had to go there.

You're only an idiot if it doesn't work.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

Wishful Thinking

  Bluesky got my hopes up with rumors of Trump's possible passing because his bronze glow up and swelling cankles were incognito for a few days. He also hasn't been ranting on False Social. Naturally, I went looking only to find he is still breathing, but looking like the grim reaper may be his caddy. It's a weird social phenomenon when normally nice people are wishing for the death of one orange man by natural causes. You know we could hurry this along by other means. Just saying. At this point I don't see anyone stepping up to the plate. It appears only Magas like to murder and buy guns like the left buys books. There is another way, which is as likely as the other idea and that is, Congress growing some balls. Sorry, ladies but you can grow a pair, too. The demented old fool is making rules left and right, illegal I must add, yet, crickets come from Congress. I truly don't understand the game plan if there ever was one on the Maga side. It's clearly not about...
