"Pffft ... batteries are for toys ... my delusions tell me the following pictures are fake because I say so and I don't need to prove anything because jesus tells me petroholics like me are always right:"

    Obviously fake, everybody knows that batteries are ruined by rain. Just like magnets.

    Next you're gonna tell me that the Moon can come out during the day!

    Heard a fantastic quote this morning for people with similar believes:

    This are the same people who ask ChatGPT what time it is

    Beautiful !

    I've unironically met people who use ChatGPT for everything. (and who unironically now think magnets are turned off by water since the president said it)

    Like I literally had coffee with someone who while we were chatting they mentioned that they "asked ChatGPT if the place was queer friendly" before they agreed to go out for coffee.

    It's like bro, did the pride flags year round not tip you off? The maps link literally has pictures of the place with snow on the ground and pride flags in the windows!

    So many people have forgotten how to think and it's infuriating. They'll believe a chatbot before their own eyes.

    That's great and all, but I'm still waiting for it to be affordable to install my own so that it can also be a whole-house uninterruptible power supply.

    Obviously it depends on your use case but at least for me having an uninterruptible power supply for the maybe one day in 4 years that I have a power cut, it isn't worth it unless the installation cost is negligible.

    I think for most people putting a few panels on the roof is probably good enough. Especially if they end up getting an electric car in the end which can do reverse charging.
