Blasting "Powerhouse (Part 2)" as an elaborate machine guides my 50p, Rube Goldberg style through a series of increasingly baffling processes to ultimately produce nothing. Also, it's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks Roko's Basilisk is fucking stupid. The moment I heard it, I knew on some level it was bullshit and deserves to be mocked.

It's OK to describe a Ponzi scheme as long as you don't describe it enthusiastically, you see.
