[@cchastant8251]

(giggling!) The number of times someone has instructed me to NOT use 'percussive maintenance' to fix something, yet using it DID fix the issue...

[@ianbelletti6241]

Yup. Percussive maintenance usually works if something is slightly stuck or a connection is loose. It also works if something is bent out of alignment.

[@susan-of6xd]

Hahahahahaaaaaa!

If there was ever a thing that can be more than 100% correct, it is this 200% correct statement.

[@hoanglinhvu106]

from what I know, we humans tend to overthink everything, making them way more difficult than it should be. The "hold my beverage" is like a signal to our brain "don't think, just do" and you don't understand how easy things are when we just do what we know, and not think about what we don't know

[@Luis-qo5ir]

Yes

[@pavilpezinsky3914]

A seperate narration needs to be done discussing how "whats the worst that could happen" balances out "hold my (beverage)"

[@jefflanduyt6750]

This is the best story yet. I've said, "Hold my..." too many times at work.

[@cb5117]

I haven’t laughed like that in soooo long. I absolutely love this style of humor, and the writer(s) continued to top themselves for FOURTY minutes. The ability to create, generate, and induce such uncontrollable exuberance and chaotic glee during such dark times, constitutes a truly purposeful gift of that rarest of uncommon talent. Health and happiness to you and yours my friend.

[@vanhasydan4754]

Comical gold. Yes, we do sometimes think in unexpected or seemingly strange ways and over the years I've witnessed a person moments where the person somehow percieved things you'd think impossible. And yes, I've experienced such things myself.

[@1amTheory]

This is the best. I personally only truly feel alive during the Hold My Beer moments. For most my adult life, this is how I have made a living once I discovered there was an actual purpose for all this information running around in my head. Great story

[@williamwebb5873]

Douglas Adams and terry Pratchett would both be proud of this absolute masterpiece. This is the greatest story on the Sci-fi channel. By a bloody long shot :)

It's a wonder how these aliens even got to space. They obviously haven't learned that the humans are using physics to complete their crazy acts.

[@jmbrady1]

what many of us humans don't realize is that what is normal to us, might not be normal to others

What? You think aliens might think we are strange for throwing ourselves out of perfectly good aircraft or off of cliffs for fun? Golly dont let them know about how we like to drink poison, sometimes until we vomit, after work and on weekends for enjoyment.
