I hesitated, but for some reason "sunk" didn't sound quite right.
: Sunk is the past participle for of the word sink.

The word you are looking for is sank.

: Sunk is the past participle for of the word sink.
And sank is the simple past tense.

Q: "Is the past tense of sneak supposed to be snuck or sneaked?"
A: "Neither. It's snought."

Lies ... at best the bike was assembled in Germany
High end bike frames are sometimes fully designed and made in western countries but even then all bolted on parts are Asian in origin.

@dcon said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
My first car accident was me in a Ford rear-ending a 30yo VW camper van. The Ford was so fucked up I could barely drive it 100m off the road to wait for the tow truck. Right fender basically ripped off, shit leaking from the engine where sharp bits had been pushed in - I was lucky to have a good mechanic, was afraid it would be a total loss.
The VW literally had a broken rear light, a small dent in the fender and some scratches in the bumper.

Rather the other way round.
Some 8 years ago, had a small traffic accident. I did not bother to straighten the slightly bent registration number plate of my Toyota Corolla. Repair cost of the Audi I hit: 1035 Euros.
Fuck you, Audi!
Advantage by crap.

Advantage by crap.If done at the dealer (and since it's an insurance job, why not?) that may well have been a minor scratch which 'just' needed repainting.

Or the parts that are extra soft for cyclist safety. Or metal-colored bumpers.
New cars have a lot of super-expensive tissue paper cladding.

Anyway, I'm surprised how few people are aware that all cars, whether Chinese or German or anywhere else, are specifically designed so the fronts - and only the fronts - fold up like an accordion in case of a crash to minimize injuries of people involved.

@Gąska Crumple zones. AKA, "this car is so badly damaged that it's irreparable, so we can sell a new car" zones. But you're right, they're designed to absorb kinetic energy by bending, and it does save lives.

Saved mine one time, or at least saved me some injury. Breaking stuff takes largish amounts of force quickly. Cost engineering can rob you more effectively and subtly.

The British Airways Boeing 787-8 (MSN 38610) was being prepared for a cargo-only flight from London to Frankfurt. During cargo loading, engineers were performing maintenance actions to clear messages in the aircraft’s systems. One of the required actions included performing a cycle of the landing gear with hydraulic power applied to the aircraft. To prevent the landing gear from retracting pins are inserted into the main and nose gear downlocks.
In this instance, the pin that should have been inserted into the nose gear downlock was actually inserted into the nose gear apex pin bore, which is right next to the correct downlock hole.

I'd like to see what kinds of "maintenance actions" would be required to clear "messages" from something like a nuclear reactor.
"Yeah we had to close the coolant pumps completely in order to clear the message. No worries, no meltdown was recorded, we did that earlier!"

For airplanes the automation of maintenance is of a very high degree. The message indicates the action. They just royally fucked up the execution.
Soviet nuke plants, are garbage built by idiots based on fictions.

The first fax machine, "the printing telegraph," was invented in 1843.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.
The samurai were abolished as a caste in Japan in 1867.
So, there was a time when a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln.

Except, Japan was isolated until the fall of that Shogunate and they didn't get faxes, no cable run was present until at least the 1870s. Iirc.
And then he just shot him.

That VW van I collided with was just that generation that could still drive into a wall and come out semi-usable once you cleared out the passengers that had been turned into a mush.

Actually some years ago I backed into some pole and bent the bumper. In two hours, the bumper returned to its original shape. Plastic bumpers have some advantages.
