It's not about money, it's about sending a message.

Hook those coffins up to generators for infinite free electricity.

Phase 1: Fuck around

Phase 2: Find out

The general rule is to go by sound.

Read aloud, RTS is pronounced "are-tee-ess", so it starts with a vowel sound, so it's "an RTS".

The same rule also applies to regular words. For example, "an hour" is preferred because the "h" is silent.

Those fish know what they did.

"I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure." -Agent Smith

Good advice, but is this a meme?

The only problem is humans are completely incapable of doing this for more than a few minutes. It's why lifeguards are required to take frequent breaks, for example, or why TSA agents find the water bottles but miss the guns. But it still works as a magical fig leaf for the company to deflect liability.

Incentives like this are tricky. You can reduce the numbers by fixing the problem, or by sweeping it all under the rug. Guess which is easier to do on a quarterly basis?

Joke's on them: those aliens don't perceive time, so the concept of pressing keys in sequence is impossible to convey.

There's a song about this. (Different ancient creature, but the principle is the same.)

"I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work! Any time I had a problem and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away I had a different problem." -Jason Mendoza

You're quite right, but this forum is for non-credible ideas, and we need something to counter the T-59.

Gatling railgun, only 1/6 the barrel wear per shot.

That's why you park it in the middle of the carrier support group.

Yes, very nice, but hear me out: What if all that but also railguns?

ELI5: How is this a science meme?

Excuse me, but I am the rightful King of the Moon, so you could not possibly have ruled it.

That's weird, the watermark says, "I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further."
