What's weird about that? Did that turn out to be bs too? ...What's the connection? Are you saying he heard about that and plagiarized the story?

How is that "smart"..? What incentive do they have to not give him credit? He was indisputably their employee and it's been their product for over 30yrs now.

Some people obviously had to have made it... "Evil Faceless Chip Co." doesn't just churn out shit by magic and burn all traces of human involvement.

I got $25 on it

Kept waiting for the "theory" part of it... didn't really pan out lmao. Interesting observations kinda. But once the "because"s and the "why"s start... holy shit is that a nonsensical cluster fuck of gibberish haha I mean just read the "TL;DR". So I'm gonna have to disagree with you about the depth of that rabbit hole lol.

They def don't occur on the same day of the year lmao. Wtf are you smoking?

One is in July and the other's in October. "Day of the week" is indeed correct--where are you getting this confidence to say it's "absolutely not correct"..?? This year they're both on Tuesday.

Is this the little kid that says "It's tomorrow now!" after midnight at a slumber party?

Bittersweet is a conflict of emotions in the same person, obviously. Everything has an upside to someone, somewhere... that's not what's relevant.

Neither one of those is "bittersweet" tbh. The second one seems to have a silver lining because you could rationalize that you were potentially second best (though bracket-style elimination doesn't really determine who's best in the first place; the whole thing's very flawed).

"Bittersweet" involves an actual upside that wouldn't be realized otherwise. I.e. The loser being able to go home to his sister's wedding. "Whelp, maybe we're 2nd?" is not bittersweet it's just an optimistic take.

Just common sense. What's "sweet" about a team you're not on winning the championship?

Idk but it's a flawed and baseless assertion anyway. Some people do things that others literally won't. Where does this "duration" concept come from? lmao it's nonsense. If you run into a burning building and I don't... then you were brave and I wasn't. And you sure as shit weren't brave for 5 minutes. Hardly anything I would call brave is likely to last 5 minutes, that's insanely long. Anyway, I would argue that the "brave" part is the moment you decide to take action... after that you're in full adrenaline and concentration mode, and no longer feeling fear.

To the confidently stupid kids of reddit, perhaps.

Otherwise it's so devoid of fact, it's hard to even see how it qualifies as a "joke". Never mind Elon not "milking" Tesla at all, in any sense... but how did Edison continue to milk Tesla after his death when he'd already been dead himself for over a decade?

Nope not at all. You know it's a stretch if you're comparing two people yet saying of one of them, "while not..." doing what the other person was doing.

Edison took credit for inventions that weren't his. Elon Musk invested in a company already named "Tesla"... the "sciency cred" coming from Tesla being one of the inventors of the electric induction motor. There's 0 comparability in these scenarios.
