What’s the opposite of eating the onion? When you read something and assume it must be the onion, because it sounds so dumb. Once onion biter, twice shy?

This is the guy who recently suggested that using an electric battery on a boat would lead you to get eaten by a shark.

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

Well, did you try? I didn't, and I've not been sharkuterie'd yet.

I once rode in a battery-powered canoe on a lake and had waves smash me into some rocks and all I got was shit in my pants
