In theory, yes. Not extinguish, but absorb 100% of all solar radiation. The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy they are able to use. ... A Type II civilization, also called a stellar civilization—can use and control energy at the scale of its stellar system. It's just not possible with our current construction abilities.

I had a coworker once that I and another coworker convinced that people in Hungary could 'swim' everywhere because the air was so dense -it's like a sea, sort of. We also explained there are no roads because it would make no sense to have roads when you can simply 'swim' to your destination (obviously). A few days later she came back to us: 'I was at a party and nobody believed me... Are you sure your story is correct?'. We never laughed so hard.

Hold Up here. There are already studies that show this effect to be real. Not that it "uses up all the wind". Sounds crazy, but consider the science here: Wind is deflected across the blades of a turbine. This deflection imparts force against the turbine blade; there is now less energy in the deflected air particle. That energy was imparted to the turbine blade. Trillions of billions of air molecules are hitting the turbine blades, imparting kinetic energy. that energy is now no longer in the wind, lowering the wind speed, if only by 0.5km/h. Now, if there were 20 wind farms in the wind's direct path... It can start adding up!

My brother and i were in the kitchen one day as teenagers. My brother was filling the sink to wash dishes. When the sink was nearly full he went to turn the tap off but it wouldnt budge so the water kept flowing. I tried turning it too but with no success. This is when the panic set in. The level of the water was rising fast and we didn't want to flood the kitchen. He took big saucepans out of the press to fill with water to keep things from over flowing, while i was in a frantic scramble under the sink trying to find the mains to turn it off there. I couldn't find it!! Now really panicking i took over the pot filling duty and my brother went running off to look for dad as quick as he could. Dad came running in with my brother while we were shoutng at him about looking for the mains. Dad just came over to the sink and pulled the plug out of the hole letting all the water down the drain.

We’d like to believe that humans are rational animals gifted with an ability to evaluate nearly every situation and give it a sound explanation. So why do so many people not seem to really have that common sense? Well, it’s been reported that “when people face an uncertain situation, they don’t carefully evaluate the information or look up relevant statistics. Instead, their decisions depend on a long list of mental shortcuts, which often lead them to make foolish decisions.”

This is how fake news works—if a fact appears to be true, many of us will take it as true. Think about it—if you've believed something to be true for a long time, it's unlikely you'd fact-check it out of the blue. It will probably take a very long while for you to realize something seemingly obvious—for example, that a penguin is a bird.

I had manager named Roxanne (Rocky). She was a bleach blonde (literally bleached her hair once a month and then wondered why it broke/fell out) bubble head who only had the job because daddy owned the restaurant.

Rocky was really obsessed with her looks and not much else. One day she told me, and a co-worker, that she had her nose job done so that her eventual children wouldn't grow up with the same nose as her. She wasn't kidding. The co-worker and I just looked at each other and walked away. We knew it wasn't worth the effort.

Of course, IQ score is one of the most common universal measures to determine the rational capabilities in person. However, according to David Perkins from Harvard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, IQ is very overrated. “"A high IQ is like height in a basketball player," says David, who studies thinking and reasoning skills. "It is very important, all other things being equal. But all other things aren't equal. There's a lot more to being a good basketball player than being tall, and there's a lot more to being a good thinker than having a high IQ."

I can sum it up very easily: We were at the shooting range, his gun jammed, he looked down the barrel to see what was wrong.

Back in my younger and crankier days I worked with as young woman who was hands down the dumbest person I've ever met.

Her highlights include

Winning a basket auction that included a copy of The Beach Boy's album Pet Sounds and complaing because she "didn't want to hear a lot of mooing"

On a day she was driving me up a wall I convinced her to wait to open her bottle of Coke because the bottle said there was a winner every five minutes. She was disappointed she didn't win after waiting exactly five minutes. I however enjoyed her sulky silence for the rest of the day.

The best/worst one involved her chatting with a manager who was African American (she's white). They were discussing their shared slightly uncommon name and then realized their families both came from South Carolina. She thought for a few minuted and then excitedly exclaimed "I bet my family owned yours!". She was so proud of herself for figuring out that historic connection. The manager didn't say a word and just walked away.

When I was in the Navy, there was a cook on my ship. He once served "rare" chicken. I genuinely couldn't tell whether he was trying to cover up his limitless incompetence or if he genuinely believed that rare poultry is a real thing. He was dumb enough to believe it. Another time, he just filled a pan with ground beef and called it meat loaf. Another time he was supposed to make sugar cookies, you know, several hundred of them for the whole crew. He didn't bother to read the label on the container he opened, and apparently he didn't taste the batter at any point, and he actually made salt cookies. He used up all the remaining salt in the pantry and we had unseasoned food for the remaining several weeks of the mission, during which time the captain assigned someone to be the cook's bodyguard.

We shall call him Chad. Chad was a guy I worked with years ago and he was terrible with directions. He had no idea where he was, or where he was going, and was terrible at identifying landmarks. So we are working less than 5 minutes from our store on this particular day in a small residential area about a mile and a half down the road. Including the turn out of the driveway you have to make 3 turns, all right hand turns, and cross one intersection and you'll be at our store. A short time into what is an all day job we realize we have some equipment at the store that would help us out tremendously. I ask Chad to go get it. He doesn't know the way. I explain it to him. He stares at me. It's 3 right hand turns, Chad, I think you can do it. Chad wants a map. Fine. I draw a map. Chad leaves. 25 minutes go by. Chad should have been back by now. I call the store and I'm told that Chad left 10 minutes ago. As I am on the phone I hear the truck coming and he drives right by the house. Well, [crap]. Poor Chad forgot what house we were at. No big deal, the road is a giant circle and he will come around again in a moment. So I walk up the driveway, and sure enough here he comes again. I wave, and he pulls in the driveway. As he gets out I laugh and say, "Haha, aww man, you forgot what house we were at?" Chad deadpans, "Naw man, ya moved the truck." ... Chad was looking for the company truck in the driveway. The very same truck he was driving.

This French - Italian guy I used to work with. I could seriously write a book about how ignorant, idiotic and illogical this man was, but this story sums it up pretty well:

He's against vaxinations, because he thinks everything in the world is a government conspiracy and he's also a nature freak who believes in homeopathy. He believes clay has a lot of almost supernatural healing qualities. When he lived in Denmark he and his wife couldn't enroll their son in kindergarten unless he had some basic vaccinations because that's the law.

So they went to get the boy vaccinated, but as soon as he's gotten the shot and they've walked out of the doctors office he took the bandage off and slapped a lump of clay on the boys arm right where he got the shot. This, he believed, would suck the liquid that was in the syringe out of the boys vains and get absorbed into the clay to be disposed of safely. So in his mind he had basically "un-vaccinated" the boy and the silly reptilian surgeon general had no idea! Haha in your face NWO!

It's kind of a happy ending though, stupidity saved the day and the boy now has the vaccinations he should despite his insane father.

There was a,,, troubled kid I went to high-school with. He struggled with school but had friends but was starting to do drugs and go down a bad way. He decided to photo copy the front and back side of a 20 dollar bill, cut it out of normal paper, and glue the two half’s with Elmer’s glue. Whats even more sad is that to test his new money he went to the gas station and bought some gum and it ACTUALLY WORKED?!? So in his mind it must have meant that it was fool proof. So he then tried to go and deposit the glued up money at an actual bank. He was obviously found out and arrested. I don’t know where he is now but I’m assuming he is making similar life choices.

I once called an Uber driver. When he arrived, he immediately asked me: "Are you going to (X location?)?". I said: "No." He responded: "Great, because I'm not going to take you to (X location)." "Fine", I said. The journey got underway, and I was curious as to what he would've done if I'd said that yes, I wanted to go to X location. So I asked him: "Hey, what would you have done if I had said that I DID want to go to X location?". He responded: "Look man, I'm not going to [frikinn] take you to X location, OK? I told you already." I was a bit befuddled, but I tried again: "No no, I don't want to go there. In fact, you already know where I want to go, it's on your destination map. I'm just curious, what if I DID want to go to X location? Would you have refused me the trip? Would you have driven off?" He said: "Look man I can't change the trip now. And anyway I told you I refuse to go to X location. You gotta understand I'm busy." we spent nearly 15 minutes with variations of this back and forth. He was a fluent English speaker, by the way. By the end of it, I was 100% convinced that he couldn't understand the syntax of a hypothetical. He literally couldn't understand the question "if (X situation which is NOT the case) then what action would you take?" I wasn't even mad, just astonished. How had he navigated through life thus far? What were his financial decisions like? I really wanted to follow him home and make a reality TV show about him or something.

My cousin. All through public school, she was a snob who looked down on everyone. She was super stylish and struggled academically.

We graduated in 2014. We both went to colleges (not the same one.) She got a job at a bar, stayed out late drinking. Her boyfriend told her she didn’t need to complete college, so she just stopped showing up. Didn’t drop; just stopped showing up. Completely flunked out.

Here comes the mega stupidity: Our families live hours away from her college at the time. Her family went to move her back home. My cousin’s mom noticed a pile of clothes in the corner. The mom said ‘what’s that, your laundry? Pack it and we’ll wash it when we get home later.’

My cousin (I kid you not): ‘you can wash those?!’

Turns out, she’d been throwing away clothes instead of washing them. She claimed she didn’t know she could, yet she washed her undergarments and bras without a hitch.

She’s now at home with her family and has started doing more chores to show an increase in responsibility. She still tries to throw clothes away, citing that she didn’t know they could be washed and reused. Makes me wonder what she thought all those years before college, before she left home. She wore some of the same outfits repeatedly — she had to have known they could be washed.

Old coworker of mine. He was helping me move and while we were carrying a couch he dropped it. Thinking he was hurt I asked if he was ok and with the most serious and frightening look in his eyes he said pointing : ‘Look it’s the moon and it’s day time.’ .... he was 25 at the time.

Ii's s just as bad as the woman that used one of these DIY powerwash cabins and litterally powerwashed the outside and inside of her car with it. Dashboard, frontseats, backseats and trunk. The video went viral.

My ex. My favorite moment was when I had to stop him from giving his bank info to the Nigerian prince. I was honestly in disbelief. He was mad at me for whatever reason exactly and in retrospect I probably should've just let him do it.

When a Nigerian King sent his condolences that my entire family had died in a fire (news to me at the time) and that since he was dying of cancer, he wanted to give me 100 million dollars. I wrote back, telling him I wanted 100 million US dollars deposited in a bank in the Cayman islands, a Porsche, puppies, kittens and ten race horses. Never heard from him again....

Worked at a movie theater and one of my coworkers any time it was their turn to clean concessions at closing, they would dump all the popcorn onto the floor, instead of directly into the trash, then proceed to sweep it up. They claimed it was easier and faster their way.

The dumbest person I've ever met happened to also be the nicest person I've ever met. Her dream was to open a yoga studio, but I really hope she got hired by an already existing studio as a yoga instructor instead, it's pretty hard to run a business on your own when your reply to "2+2=4" is "Okay, but why?". Such a lovely person, though, she was almost unreal.

I started a new job as an assistant manager in retail and the store manager was showing me how to close out a cash register. She slowly counted out ten 20-dollar bills, then whipped out an adding machine to compute 20 times 10. There was an accompanying shift worksheet to record the numbers in case if the math confused you, and she informed me I could save some time when I counted out the ones because the dollar amount always ended up being the same as the quantity. I complimented her on discovering this neat trick and then took a walk, never to return.

I have two incidents to relate: 1. A co-worker saw a plane flying over the horizon, you could clearly see the undercarriage, and shouted that it was crashing. I told him that the earth is round Columbus! 2. My Niece, a very highly skilled RN, took a lactose pill because her drink had coconut milk in it and she didn't want a stomach ache. My husband joked about cows wearing coconut bras on their udders.

I can't resist sharing these: I live in Ohio, and once went on a trip to Cedar Point w/ friends and one of their friends - who was a young woman, 18 at the time. We get up to Cedar Point, which is on the Lake Erie coast, and park and she says: 'What's that?' Me: 'What's what?' Her: 'All of that water.' Me: 'Umm, that's Lake Erie.' Her: 'Oh, I didn't know we had that up here.' Oh goodness.

1. When I was in high school, a kid called in a phony bomb threat to the school. In some highly sophisticated detective work, the police traced where the call came from: a pay phone inside a convenience store. They checked the surveillance tapes from the store, easily saw who it was. He was expelled, increasing the avg. IQ of the student body. 2. Columbus, OH where I live, was in the final running to land Amazon's 'HQ2' - and I was chatting about that w/ someone, how this would've been a huge change, the pros and cons. Her response: 'That would be great, some people here could get jobs packing boxes for Amazon!' - I politely tried to explain that this would have perhaps been 50,000+ six figure, white collar jobs, not 'some jobs packing boxes.' I don't think she was able to understand that. 3. On a city bus, a weird guy sees I have a book and asks me: 'What you readin'?' I reply: 'These are some short stories by Thomas Hardy.' His response. smiling: 'I sure like The Hardy Boys!'

1. A person telling me: 'You've drunk the Kool-Aid' - since I was arguing that gay marriage should be legal. He then went on to explain: 'You might not know what I mean by that, drinking the poison Kool-Aid is what those people in Heaven's Gate did.' 2. Another time, I tried to explain to a creationist that evolution was real (a generally fruitless endeavor). I pointed out to him that over 99% of the DNA of humans is the same as that of Chimps. His response: 'That's also true for humans and every other animal also.'

My former mother in law would park in a way that meant she didn't have to back up, because she couldn't. That was bad enough but when she came to see us over at my grandmothers house one evening, I saw her coming down the road toward the house, which was on her left. She pulled up right in front of us, stopped, looked behind her like she was confused, then kept going down the road. The next thing I know, it's deja vu. There she is again, coming down the road, exactly as she did before. That's when I realized she had drove around the block, hoping to avoid having to back out when she left. Because, naturally, in her genius mind, simply driving straight ahead, just like she did when she made the block, would have been going out of the way or maybe she was thinking it would have been going the wrong way. Who knows? Her thought process wasn't exactly known to be logical. ;) :D

My ex and he was about 38 at the time. We were discussing the abortion issue (pro choice. It's not MY body/future, so it's not my decision) and I cited an article I read about a woman in an anti state who couldn't get an abortion for the pregnancy resulting from rape. He said, "Well, obviously she enjoyed it." I was like, "enjoyed being raped?" Well, yeah. He actually believed a woman could only get pregnant if she had an orgasm. Wait until you find out where chocolate milk comes from ...

My coworker's mother was chicken farmer and I bought some eggs from her. I thanked my coworker, our boss heard us talking and asked me what I need eggs for. I told her: The usual, cooking, baking... She told me I'm disgusting. I was confused: She eats eggs regularly, so what's disgusting? Turned out she believed only store-bought eggs are "clean" and fresh eggs from farmer are "dirty" and "disgusting".

Well, why can't you make your land your own country? It belongs to you. Did God Himself grant governments the right to our possessions, our bodies, our very souls? The government seems to think so. My apartment is its own nation, with a population of exactly one, but 100% of its citizenry are armed to the teeth and will vigorously defend its sovereignty with lethal force.

One of my bosses, a PhD honestly believed that your brain capacity was finite. Once you filled up your brain with information, you had to forget something to learn something new. Thankfully his field of study was in something that couldn't hurt anyone or anything.

Also, Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, on NPR's How I Built This: 'I failed the LSAT.' I'm a barred attorney, Sara, there is no passing or failing of the LSAT. If you missed every question you'd get a scaled score of 120, if you aced each one you'd get 180. Obviously where you place on that scale has a major bearing on which, if any, accredited law schools it would be realistic for you to apply to, but there is no way to 'fail' it per se. Sigh. They do explain that when you take the LSAT.

It was 2004, I was taking a community college course in sociology. The professor was a white guy, saying how it was valuable to learn about the p.o.v. of some traditional Native American groups, and how he annually did a trip to spend time out in Arizona on a Native American reservation so he could observe and participate in their religious and cultural events, and he encouraged students to inquire about going on this trip w/ him that summer. A woman then asks in total, innocent seriousness (and she was in her 40s, had grown up in NYC): 'But if you go stay with them, will you have to sleep in a teepee? Don't they all still live in teepees?'
