As a person who hates most nouns, hate has really lost its luster for me, but there are some acts that really get me fired up. One of those things is people who hold their cell phones to the sky to try to get better reception. First of all that is not how cell reception works, cell phone reception is broadcast through towers which broadcast radially so you could extend your arm in any direction towards the tower and you would get the same effect. Secondly, even if communication satellites did directly broadcast the signal to you, communication satellites orbit 117,337,440 fucking feet above the earth, so extending your arm towards the sky brings you apportionment .0000000256% closer to the satellite. There are no instruments in the world that I know of that are precise to the ten billionth decimal place so thinking that three feet on a scale of hundreds of millions of feet will make a difference is the most fucking retarded thing ever. I guess the real problem I have with this is how poorly people seem to understand scale or the way things work.
look at these two fucktards
In a world where the first paragraph of a subjects Wikipedia page will tell you basically anything you need to know about it, there is no excuse to stand around looking like an extra in independence day watching the alien weapon blow up a building.
