Or people who are pedantic.

"The sky is blue."

"No it isn't! It is red at sunrise and at sundown."

"Ok comic book guy."

“you know what I meant!”

This is why I've learned to repeat what I thought someone said back to them so they can confirm if they communicated it clearly or not.

"Bring it to me."

"Which one? I see 5 of them here.

"Oh, I meant the blue one."

How dare you point out something. Stop hurting her feelings by pointing out anything she doesn't know. "I would've pointed out you were about to drink soap but then I'd 'Always need to be right'."

How does this person think guided missiles work? "Well the plane moved so we missed."

"Also you can’t catch up to the moon because the moon is traveling faster then our rockets can go "

1. Not true so discussion over right there
2. Even if its angular velocity was faster than a rocket its radial velocity is nearly 0 so all you would have to do to intercept it is to lead it. No different than shooting a moving target at long ranges.

If you really want to confuse most folks tell them why shooting stuff into the sun is actually VERY hard to do.

People think of fruits as having to be sweet and tomatoes are acidic and are used like non-fruit vegetables in cooking so I can see why someone who hasn't thought about botanical definitions would think that way.

you can gain infinite weight from one chocolate bar.

Eventually you'll turn into a black hole.

“holistic”

Aka, "Keep science and evidence out of this"

I'd make trust funds for them and make it clear that this was it. If you give them cash they will hate you because you gave them only $1,000,000 a year ago and didn't give them more this year.

Any time I think of the lottery I can't help thinking of this infamous reddit post that should be mandatory reading by anyone who wins.

Well technically you are both right though she is being pedantic.

Omg we had a Maine Coon as a pet when I was a teen. Go look them up, they are big. I heard yelping one day and say him hanging onto the neighbor's dog's tail and swinging around in the air. The dog stopped pooping in our yard after that. Then once I heard my mom yelling in the back yard. There she was being chased by the cat who probably thought it was lots of fun. I asked my mom, "What did you think the cat was going to do? Nibble on your ankles?"

I caught him once trying to open the back door by standing on his hind legs and pulling down on the door handle.

That totally ignores the demand side of the equation. If people didn't want to buy X believe me, they wouldn't sell X. I'm pretty sure the horse and buggy industry and cathode ray tube tv industries would've loved to have kept selling their products.

"live off the land"? You are about 5 billion people too late for that.

topple capitalism

Would you like to work for me for free then?

Ted Kaczynski is still alive it seems.

Get a vasotomy/tubal ligation.

I'd say it was a coincidence. It could've been a pub and we'd be talking about the creation of beer instead.

I think the version issues blocked me. I've put the toolbox on some of our test systems but dnf seems to be excluded from it. I'd probably have to build it.

It sounds scary lol

An OS used by IBM on their mainframes. I have to work with it because some big orgs, especially financial and gov, still use it and run our apps on it.

I tried grabbing it and couldn't even get it to install. If you have a link to a good install...
