That's like Ali G saying he invented the PlayStation 2 because he thought about it when the playstation came out.
I was annoyed as a kid when I independently came up with the idea of a flying car then found out that the world beat me to it.
That happened to me a few years back, a friend just had his clutch fail in his car. I started thinking how to make a better way to transfer power from motor to wheels.
Turns out I just reinvented the fluid coupling used in automatic transmissions.....needless to say my idea wasn't that impressive after that.
Haha, you ran into the mechanically inclined adult version!
It's called the adult version because it involves fluids.
Oh god damn it. Here, lol. 🥇
Even your user name sounds like a youtuber I'd watch about my adult tinker toys (think carpentry).
