Ripley's sentiment towards infestations comes to mind.
I've always been a fan of Nat Turner's statement on infestations m'self. Damn shame only Grant really understood it.

How do you pronounce ‘bologna’ so it rhymes with ‘pony’? I don't, but I might be spoiled by knowing the Italian pronunciation (which means with ɲ (ñ, ň) that I think English does not have)
I have never heard anyone use that "American" pronunciation. Who the frack did they get to come up with that?

That obviously means that the Netherlands are not a good place for Tesla.
Build some artificial cliffs some where in the country, and then try again.

Say... that emergency mechanical door latch... you don't think it's built out of something seawater-soluble, do you?

Neither have I. I think this is just baloney.

@abarker said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

The word seems to come from Italian (specifically from a name of a place there) and that pronunciation reflects that.
And yes, they got it swapped. According to wikitionary it's the other way around.

No worries! The cliff is only one of many ways for the vehicle to burst into flame.

Wouldn't say it's strictly necessary, but it's on the way and you get points for it.

As an American, I use something very much like their "UK" pronunciation (when I pronounce it at all; I haven't bought nor eaten the stuff in decades, so I hardly ever need to say it).
What they claim is the "US" pronunciation is a close approximation of the Italian pronunciation of the city (I don't know if Italians even use the name of the city to describe the sausage; if so; I assume they would pronounce it the same). I use that pronunciation for the city and maybe sometimes, if I'm feeling especially pedantic, for the sausage, but only because I know (a tiny bit of) Italian.
Of course, I always use the -ney pronunciation to refer to nonsense.

Reading that my first thought was to whole-heartedly agree, then I remembered that the page (probably) got it swapped and now I'm laughing that the Americans think the non-retarded pronounciation is the retarded one.

They really should have said it will emit a fire truck mating call.

If no cliff is within range, the battery will ignite.

How do you know if you are being punished for failing to laugh with sufficient enthusiasm at Elon's joke or it's just routine Tesla spontaneous combustion?

If you survive, then it must just be routine.

I'll be honest: I did not recognize it as a motorcycle until you said so.
I had dismissed the image with "Homebrew robot damaged by owner and is beseeching divine retribution".

I actually had to look it up.
(Knew that it's some kind of earth formation, but not what exactly.)A levee (/ˈlɛvi/), dike, dyke, embankment, floodbank or stopbank is an elongated naturally occurring ridge or artificially constructed fill or wall that regulates water levels. It is usually earthen and often parallel to the course of a river in its floodplain or along low-lying coastlines.

Yeah. Mad stunt points, and maybe some quality airtime.

@acrow said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

(Knew that it's some kind of earth formation, but not what exactly.)This is also actually different between Dutch and English. As I understand in English, a dike always separates land from water. In Dutch usage, a dike is any earthworks which separates two hydrological environments. Dikes can separate land from land (reducing the impact area if a dike closer to the coast fails). Dikes can also separate water from water (notably the Afsluitdijk, which separates the inland lake IJsselmeer from the Waddenzee, is most definitely a dike in Dutch usage of the word despite what the English wikipedia says).

Yeah but what about dykes? And iirc, all Holland has is dijks anyway.

dijken, proper plural of dijk is dijken

Proper would be a different language — anything not Dutch/Flemish.
