Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

~~Either~~ he’s misusing “amorphous” ~~or~~ and he doesn’t understand energy.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He likely meant "ubiquitous". Then again, with the wavy hands...

For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?

Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

He just saw the Matrix. He meant to say "a Morpheus".

I love how uncomfortable the fan is. Never meet your heroes, eh fucknut?

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"Fan," isn't that the guy that got arrested in the Carolinas for being and armed militia and targeting FEMA workers? Or did that guys mug shot just happen to look just like this guy

Now he smells and hears the shit. Maybe he will think”hmm maybe they’re right”. We can only hope.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never happen. Best case scenario is "maybe I'm not into politics anymore"

He just wanted to steal glances at hot lady. They don't usually let him get that close

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The “hot lady” is Sage Steele acting as moderator.

Trump kept calling her Paige. She chose to ignore those multiple mistakes.

You just love to see it. While asked about cognitive decline, Trump responded with these gem quotes such as “I’ve got no cognitive.” As well as stating he “aced two cognitive tests, no one’s ever done that before.”

I love how the guy hears this insanity, immediately looks down at the ground, like "uh oh" and then over at the woman like "you heard that too, right?"

[–] whodatdair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 years ago

I laughed out loud at his reaction

“Wait… is this guy an idiot??”

[–] meliodas_101@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (14 children)

What is he talking about again ?

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He’s talking about how energy is a stove, if you make donuts.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 21 points 2 years ago (4 children)
[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Maybe if you don’t make donuts.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Energy is a truck if you transport donuts?!?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My love for you is like a truck berserker

Where are the science memes people when you need them

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Picture of a stove?

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

I don't know if he even knows for sure

[–] mars296@fedia.io 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can't function.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Quite a thorough job of sane-washing here

He almost sounds like he's going to start talking about auras and spiritual healing, but it quickly turns into getting a donut delivery

[–] Granite@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

He’s manifesting donuts.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hahhaha guys face "what the fuck is he going on about"

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

"I've made a huge mistake"

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

I'm impressed, to be honest, "amorphous" is probably the biggest word I've ever heard him use.

[–] astrsk@fedia.io 12 points 2 years ago

Mr. Finite Battery Heart aficionado at his best. Ugh.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 12 points 2 years ago

It's like he he's Bruce Lee, but really he just wants a donut.

With Obama care he'd have his 24/7 day care for free already.

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is the classic dementia "word salad". I can sort of understand and follow the thread of what he was trying to say but to most observers it's going to be a series of intelligible words that add up to have no meaning.

You just need to read it in Bill Nye's voice.
