Post something you don't understand

[jpgray]

People who let vodka martinis warm up. Maybe they have a fetish for the flavor of lighter fluid.

[deadparrot]

1. Republicans. nt

[Benfea]

31. Republicans, conservatives, religionists, etc.

I don't understand any of it.

[SofaKingLiberal]

2. .

[Swede]

3. The quantum paradox of light.

How does the observer change reality?

[laheina]

5. Does anybody understand quantum theory?

I thought that its whole purpose was to confuse people.

[TheBaldyMan]

13. in order to observe a photon you have to change its quantum state

you don't change reality, reality is just a lot weirder than people thought it was.

[Swede]

21. Now I get it.

:shrug:

[TheBaldyMan]

25. if your not confused you haven't understood the concept

developing an almighty headache is a sign that you have grasped the idea.

[MissB]

4. My mysterious disappearing computer.

[laheina]

6. Is this a laptop? nt

[MissB]

8. Nope. It is an 8 year old

tower. Probably essentially worthless, except it was going to be used to play computer games with.

[Floogeldy]

7. I don't understand why smoking causes certain kinds of cancers.

However, they say it is true. :)

[SeattleGirl]

9. This:

[Deja Q]

11. Oh look! New recruits! And one will REALLY benefit from indoctrination!

:hide:


And notice how none of them is prepared to look AT the camera.

COWARDS!

[SeattleGirl]

12. You got that right!

They can sure dish it out, but they won't take responsibility for what they say, and they can't take it being dished back to them.

[Katherine Brengle]

15. They didn't look very committed--I'd bet someone paid them, lol. n/t

[laheina]

26. My thoughts exactly!

That and: how could anyone like Dick Cheney? :scared:

[LaraMN]

10. Myself. I am an enigma.

How else can I explain such classically dufus-tastic behavior as getting out of the car in the automated car wash, during the "wax" cycle, forgetting my own home phone number, holding up the line and having to call my husband on his cell phone from the video store to get it, and slamming a wooden cane into my foot, thereby breaking small bones in it, while performing in a play?

[SeattleGirl]

16. There. Are. No. Words.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LaraMN]

17. There is one word. The word is........."Lara."

:P

[jpgray]

20. Wait

Is this a situation where I'm supposed to say "I understand" and then post that weird hug smiley? Or is this a situation where I'm supposed to say nothing and just never reply to anything you post ever again? As I've said several times tonight, my lapsed Catholic guilt is messing with my head.

[LaraMN]

33. This is a situation where you're supposed to reference the fact that

many reknowned geniuses have historically had odd mental quirks and exhibited eccentric behavior, and that what might strike most people as blatant idiocy is, in fact, merely a sign of my own mental superiority. No smiley necessary.

[jpgray]

36. Some hobos I know also have odd mental quirks.

But to be fair maybe these are -genius- hobos.

[laheina]

28. You forgot:

Locks keys in car while it is running and has to think about which is Left and Right.

These are things that I do. And if you relate, I will have to tell you some of my sister's boo-boos. Hers are doozies! :rofl:

[LaraMN]

30. Oh honey- I actually do the "L" sign with my hands:

If it's backwards, I know it's my right hand, if it's an actual "L," then it's my left. Seriously. I have difficulty thinking quickly.:blush:

[laheina]

39. I prefer to say that

I am a conceptual thinker. :) But so am I--no doubt about it. :hi:

[alarimer]

42. I have locked my keys in the car while it was running

This was after I got a phone call from my boss who had locked the keys to the state vehicle in it. He asked me to go get the spare from my office. I pulled up, got out of my car, it was running. I shut the door and immediately realized I had LOCKED THE DOOR! I habitually lock the door when I get out so it was just out of habit. But still it was running. We had to call one of those locksmiths on wheels.

[JanMichael]

14. How M&M's are totally smooth.

I just don't get it.

Do they use Maaco?

[lpbk2713]

18. Rap music

Is it an oxymoron to call it music?

[dolo amber]

19. Airplanes

I mean, I understand it intellectually (velocity, thrust, etc) but I don't understand it like...emotionally. Gigantic bazillion tons of metal and shit flinging itself into the sky. Tools of the devil, I tells ya. x(

[jpgray]

22. You need to read up on the Bonelli principle and the Venturi effect

And while you're at it, fix me a sandwich. :P

[dolo amber]

24. I don't understand sandwiches

:shrug:

[auntAgonist]

23. I don't understand

intolerance and hatred, I just don't understand it at all.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Hi aA!

Good night aA! Hope to see you again soon! :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Willful ignorance

Why be a moran if there are alternatives? :shrug:

[dolo amber]

32. Path of least resistance ie 'human nature'

As a wise man called James Hetfield once said: "Sad but True". :(

[Allenberg]

34. Women.

:shrug:

[Wetzelbill]

35. why I choked in the state semis my senior year

Never will understand that one. Ever. I had to watch a guy I beat the year before win a state title that evening. It was horrible.

[TK421]

37. carnies

[TK421]

38. life....what's the fucking point?

[vikegirl]

40. Love.

I feel for my cat...but no person, other than my parents. Nobody feels this affection towards me, so I must be a freak. Please explain?

[EstimatedProphet]

41. I don't understand the emotional fear of communism

I understand that it's there, I understand that it is borne by fear, but what I don't get is this:

Talk to almost any dirt-poor farmer in the country. Pick the ones that have no education at all to speak of-the people that had to drop out of school in the 8th grade to make ends meet on the farm. The people that literally have nothing, and never will have anything anyway because they can't muster the resources to get anywhere. Explain economics to them, and quite often they will shut down immediately if you talk about any kind of social safety net. Then they'll come back with "I ain't no damn commie!"

These people KNOW they have nothing. They know they will always have nothing. They have children they can barely feed sometimes. And, they HATE rich people, and curse them whenever their backs are turned. Yet, so often they refuse to consider social policy in the government, and immediately reject it as communism when it comes up, even though in some cases it may be the only thing that could help them make a better life. Sometimes they even reject the idea of unions for the same reason, when unionization would only benefit them. It's such a gut-level reaction that they can't be opened up to discussion.

The amazing power of propaganda has made people like this into perpetual slaves. And even though sometimes they know that that's what they are, they look upon any kind of change to the system that keeps them down with disgust.
