That video never really answers the question...

I guess I assumed that was sarcasm...

??

What's insane about that assumption? People had very limited information in the past. You see this, you think giant vicious fierce carnivore. You see this or this, you think giant one-eyed human.

And those are the skulls of hippos and elephants. What would you imagine when you see this then?

"Yes, we've laid waste to your lands, but think of how much we could exploit them (and you, of course) now!"

Damn right, they kicked the floor with him.

Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries [...]

Sounds to me like the 1 hp unit is fair, after all.

The NSA officer standing behind Biden: "Did Mr. President stutter?"

No, not really. This has been happening for almost a decade, it's not something that just started.

Why do the drone boats weave and loop around so much? Seems like they're lingering in the "shoot me" zone.

Edit: could it be that they want to draw fire to themselves so other boats can move in instead?

I doubt it, that would be too much of a coincidence to have two people named Torvalds in one picture.

The girls seem to be waving to the neighbor down the street...

I read that this is a common misconception: the high heat is not enough to denature any proteins (else it would kill you too) and, what's more surprising, it actually makes viruses/bacteria more active. But it also makes your immune system more active, with an overall win in effectiveness over the microbes, which is what makes it useful.
