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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

I laughed out loud at his reaction

“Wait… is this guy an idiot??”

[–] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 15 points 3 weeks ago

And she just looks back going

it is like a stove, yes 🙂

[–] meliodas_101@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago (14 children)

What is he talking about again ?

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

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

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

Maybe if you don’t make donuts.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Energy is a truck if you transport donuts?!?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

My love for you is like a truck berserker

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Picture of a stove?

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know if he even knows for sure

[–] mars296@fedia.io 7 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Quite a thorough job of sane-washing here

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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 3 weeks ago

He’s manifesting donuts.

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] astrsk@fedia.io 12 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] moody@lemmings.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks 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.
