Your point #2 is misleading. Though he didn’t explicitly mention it, the battery he refers to is the high-voltage Li-Ion battery (about 400 V) not the lead-acid starter battery, which is 15 volts when fully charged (on most boats). (I can imagine that’s because he doesn’t understand the technology; he’s been seen ranting about mercury in energy-saving lamps in 2020, well after LEDs superseded fluorescent lamps in all applications.)

Still, the short-circuit current is unlikely to paralyze anyone swimming reasonably far. The easiest way to see if electric boats are indeed hazardous is death statistics. I’m pretty sure there are way fewer electrocution cases at sea than, say, gun deaths.

Since when did middle aged mean 30s?? I always thought it was mid 40s to mid 50s

She was 13 when Star Wars came out. That makes her Gen-X as far as I’m concerned.

No u

Some say 1961 some say 1962 is the start of gen x, so years in favour of she’s being gen x.

I mean if anyone cares (spoiler, I don’t).

Generation Jones is sometimes used to represent the bridge cohort between Boomer and X. The last boomers / first Gen X.

Bro I’m a Zillenial, I ain’t middle shit!

That’s worrying. I overall support Kamala Harris but I am opposed in principle to the use of attack sharks in a presidential campaign.

it’s a crutch for people who can’t meme. an ai “meme” is just a text post. not even a text shitpost

where on earth did you get that idea

I happened across this this morning. From the creator of the word “meme” himself.

idk, but I just got a meme deleted by a mod because it was “a rant described as a meme”. (It was in the Pepperidge Farm format). The rules here are inconsistent but what else is new

Memes generally have text, or use an exploitable (think like a funny face or advice animals where you see a thousand of the same pic, but different text or “white bar” memes. They can be edited quickly or have a reactionary image allowing them to match context to several situations, like a reaction.

Shitposts generally feature no text, and are a self contained image/joke. Shitposts tend to follow a Theme of the image itself and thus follow an in-joke rather than reactions to common conversation. They do not require context usually. Shitposts often do not require prior knowledge of something like memes do. Shitposts are often the subject of the “brainrot” criticism due to the ability to just appear as a nonsensical image to someone unaware of the in-joke.

Memes can be shitposts, or can be OF shitposts, especially when they require knowledge of another meme or shitpost (a tier 2 or 3 meme) and there’s a bit of crossover when you come to things like this.

This image is probably shitpost, not a meme, by these standards. However I’m just a random poster of stuff on the internet, not an authority to dictate what others post. FWIW if it’s funny and there’s not a Sublemmy for both, it’s probably fine here.
