A Hilarious Take on Ancient Greek Logic Applied to Modern Cars
This viral tweet from user pj evans uses a humorous, pseudo-philosophical approach to determine what makes a car move. By comparing the shared features of cars and houses—specifically windows—the author uses a process of elimination to conclude that windows are not the reason cars are mobile. The post playfully mimics the style of ancient Greek deductive reasoning, highlighting the absurdity of using flawed logic to solve simple mechanical questions. It serves as a lighthearted commentary on how people sometimes overthink obvious concepts by focusing on irrelevant variables.
He’s on to something
I actually wondered about this: Why does a $30.000 car have both electric doors and windows, but a $2.000.000 house have a regular key for the front door, and you have to manually open and close each fucking window ?
Cars have roofs houses have..... Cars have seats houses have..... Damnit this is hard........*GASPS* STAIRS HOUSES HAVE STAIRS CARS DONT HAVE STAIRS! HA!!!! NO STAIRS IS WHY CARS MOVE!!!
Yeah what exactly makes a car move? Hint: You need 4 of them. Got it? Doors! A house has only one. Sometimes two. That's not enough and won't work.
And their were not wrong. Sometimes you need to apply exactly that kind of thought process to eliminate flawed expectations based on coincidence or other faulty guesses and the what might be obvious in your example is normal all obvious in other cases and you need to get closenes
They both move but have different relative point of view.
Houses do not move because the chimney is on the roof instead of on the side That is also why you need to have good foundations
It's the indicaters (blinkers)
Cars have engines. Vacuum cleaners also have engines. Therefore the engine is neither responsible for moving nor sucking.
Well... Houses have heaters Cars have heaters, so that's not it either Houses have seats Cars have seats... Nope... No match there... Houses have floors Cars have floors, damn...
