I do remember a couple weirdos. One who wanted to insulate their house with compressed toilet paper inside the walls so they would always have a stash. Another who had an elaborate scheme to power an enclosed bunker -- something like grow plants for biofuel, then use that to run a generator to power grow lights. When it was pointed out that you can only lose energy on net with this kind of cycle, they just kept adding steps. I was torn between pointing out that the only way to have a self contained long-term power source is a nuclear reactor or RTG, and wanting NOT to mention this for fear they would actually try it.
Also lots of people who wanted to power their house from a generator by backfeeding an outlet, and lots of people who wanted to buy ham radios but couldn't be bothered to get a license or learn how to use them. They all got a lecture from me. It was my duty as a Redditor.
Yeah, that's the one. I'm not saying there aren't some weirdos over there. But the normies usually dominate.

You were doing God's work.
