Gaming laptops are great for those who don't understand they're getting a slower, harder to upgrade and more expensive system than a desktop.

Unless a college student in Tokyo with half a square foot of desk space, or travel a lot and like to game at the hotel, there are very few reasonable justifications for a gaming laptop. And even with those justifications they are a less-than-ideal situation. A desktop is always a better solution when feasible.

knowingly or unknowingly

Oh they know. Changing definitions is textbook propaganda.

The 'water' is the 'contamination'.

You're worried about a water balloon while standing under a waterfall.

its all energy. What is energy? Uh…

This. This so much. What the hell is energy and what enables it to exist?

OMG. Did you know you have germs on you RIGHT NOW!?

Better drink bleach to take care of the germs internally too, just to be safe.

I think they are for checkout convenience. That's why they're so thin, don't mess up the weight.

That's how you build natural immunity.

You think you're not exposed to germs constantly? If the germs are on your hands they are also already on your face.

You'd think germ theory hasn't been discovered since fucking 1762.

And you'd be wrong. Triton subs have the only full-ocean-depth commercially rated submersible. It literally has no depth rating, it safe in any part of the ocean. And not just once. Repeatedly.

Check out the stupid mistakes that were made with OceanGate - https://www.engineering.com/story/potential-structural-reasons-for-the-titan-submersible-failure

"You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”

There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.

Published science requires peer review. Big difference.

"good for the community" isn't relevant to being science.
