I had a guy from Florida tell me that the oil wells just fill up again after you empty them, so the whole oil shortage is a scam.
I mean, they do, for a while anyway… but it’s like that last little bit of a milkshake that you never quite get through a straw. There’s no new oil - it’s just the stuff that is just now making it into the well. He thought you just waited a handful of years and you’d have another gusher.
Worse are the nuts who insist that God gave us the natural resources needed to get us through the end times, so when we run out, Jeebus comes back! Use faster!

It strikes me that, sort of ironically, “infinite” is only a difficult concept to grasp if you’re smart enough to understand it.
Stupid people just sort of take it for granted. “Finite” is the thing they can’t seem to wrap their heads around.
Even weirder: why are infinite and finite pronounced so differently?
Coz english
They drink your milkshake.
“A handful of years” makes sense, I guess, depending on your reference.
How does one hold a year exactly?
Like all units of time I aspire to hold it in a bottle.
