Aha see you are wrong because I grew up with the rage comics and now they are forever cringe so that means you are factually and objectively wrong good day sir

The sun's core being filled with a quark plasma soup instead of, for example cotton candy, is also an assumption that is not evidence-based.

It's almost like we as humans can use logic and reason to determine things to be extremely significantly probable without having proof in our hands.

Here's the thing: it doesn't

Fun fact, none of the Abrahamic religions support gender equality

I know I'm not the fucking arbiter of news my dude I literally said IMO.

IMO = in my opinion

There you go, you learned something new. I'm not a mod I'm not calling for this post to be removed I'm just saying in MY OPINION it's not global news.

Edit: to add onto this point I appreciate that you think it might change some people's opinions on this anti vaxx stuff but after dealing with my mom's anti vaxx bullshit I really think anyone who's dumb enough to believe in this shit won't be swayed by someone losing their medical license they will just point to it and be like "SEE THE GOVERNMENTS ARE TRYING TO SUPPRESS US! ITS A CONSPIRACY!!"

Every time something like this is in the news my mum just believes her crazy shit even more. It gives credibility that the news and government are colluding somehow.

Basically that weak contact before the device finishes being screwed in would cause a lot of arcing which would definitely cause a short circuit and would definitely trip your breaker almost constantly. The reason lightbulbs can be screwed in is not so much that it's a convenient way to design an installable electronic but more that lightbulb companies wanted to create a design that would be so easy to replace any person could do it without any training.

So Edison hired a team of engineers to design an easy and safe application and they made the screw in application such that the contact would only get close enough at the very end of screwing and so that none of the metal would be able to contact human skin, avoiding electrocution and minimizing arcing.

For literally any higher draw application this would cause arcing so intense it would flip a breaker or possibly destroy the device and cause a fire. If you want a real life example just take a portable heater, set it to on and plug it into the wall but make that plugging motion last 3-5 seconds. WARNING you will at the very least flip a breaker and at the worst cause a fire and destroy your wall outlet, so don't actually try this at home lmao
