Would you rather have:
Faster Charging ⚡️ 🔌
OR
Longer Range 🔋 🚗

TESLARATI@Teslarati
I didn’t think this would stimulate as much conversation as it did. Most people are okay with waiting 10-15 minutes for 10-20% charge because it gives them a chance to grab food, use the bathroom, etc. Does Supercharging need to be as fast as pumping gas?

There are people who speak with absolute confidence about topics they have barely explored, as if a few articles or videos were enough to master a complex field. This phenomenon has a name in psychology: the Dunning–Kruger effect, described by researchers David Dunning and Justin Kruger. Its central idea is uncomfortable but revealing: those with low ability in a given area often lack the very skills needed to recognize their own limitations.
In their studies, they found that participants who performed worst in tasks such as logic, grammar, or even humor tended to rate themselves far above their actual level. In other words, the less they knew, the more they overestimated their competence. This is not simply arrogance, but a lack of metacognition, the ability to accurately assess what one knows and does not know. And this is the key point: to evaluate a skill properly, you largely need that same skill.
Later research has shown that this effect becomes more pronounced when the subject is particularly complex or when personal or ideological beliefs are involved. In such contexts, it is common to see individuals with very superficial knowledge in areas like medicine, climate science, or economics expressing themselves with disproportionate confidence, while those who have spent years studying the topic tend to be far more cautious, precisely because they understand the depth and uncertainties involved.
The most important aspect, however, is that this bias does not only affect “other people.” We are all susceptible to it in some domain. We may be highly competent in our professional field while having a completely distorted self-assessment in others without realizing it. Moreover, the effect also works in the opposite direction: those with greater expertise often underestimate their own knowledge, because they are fully aware of how much they still do not know.
At its core, this effect highlights a clear relationship: deep knowledge tends to be accompanied by humility, whereas ignorance, unable to perceive its own limits, often presents itself with a level of certainty that is not always justified.

I need a liberal to explain this to me like I'm two. Seriously, I just don't get it.

Witness how effective mainstream media propaganda can be against a population.

Her name was Leonie, she was a 13-year-old Austrian girl.
While she was out with friends, 3 Afghan immigrants secretly put 11 ecstasy pills in her drink. Stunned and unable to defend herself, she was taken to the house of one of the three.
The ecstasy dose was way too high, the girl started overdosing but the 3 immigrants, completely indifferent to her suffering, began to undress her and took turns raping her, putting their hands around her neck, strangling her. All of it recorded by themselves on a mobile phone video.
That’s how Leonie died, naked, in atrocious suffering, while the beasts raped her. The autopsy would later confirm the cause of death was triple overdose and asphyxiation.
When they were done, they wrapped the body in a carpet and dumped it roadside, under a tree.
The girl’s body was found the next morning by some passers-by, wearing only her underwear and with clear strangulation marks on her neck.
One of the perpetrators fled to the United Kingdom, but was quickly tracked down in a hotel and extradited, the 3 Afghans were sentenced:
- Zubaidullah R. life imprisonment;
- Ali H. 19 years in prison;
- Ibraulhaq A. 20 years in prison.
During the closing arguments, the Public Prosecutor told the court she was “stunned” by what the defendants said throughout the proceedings, stating that “there is not a trace of remorse”.

Pierre Poilievre and Joe Rogan are now the #1 trending topic in Canada
No wonder the left are completely losing it
This podcast is going to be 100x bigger than Carney's speech at Davos

English

I asked Grok when Joe Rogan's podcast was going to drop. AI specifically mentioned Pleb. You know you made it big when, buds.💪
Keep an eye on Joe Rogan's channels (Spotify, YouTube, X) or Poilievre's accounts for the exact drop. It'll likely go live on Spotify first (as JRE exclusives do), then YouTube clips/follow-up. LFG—should be a big one! 🇨🇦
Pierre Poilievre's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience (a roughly 3-hour interview) is set to air tomorrow, Thursday, March 19, 2026. Multiple reliable sources, including CBC News, The Globe and Mail, and direct confirmations from Poilievre's team (shared via posts from accounts like @truckdriverpleb and others close to the Conservatives), point to a release around 1 PM EST. Poilievre posted a photo with Rogan and teased it today (March 18), saying he "fought for Canadian workers and Canadian interests on the world’s biggest podcast" and linking to sign up for early access via conservative.ca.
It's described as a major moment for bringing Canadian politics to a huge global audience, especially amid ongoing U.S.-Canada trade/tariff talks.
The episode hasn't dropped yet (as of right now, late March 18 ADT), but hype is building fast on X with excitement from supporters and some early left-leaning pushback.

Why isn’t @elonmusk also in charge of NASA?

@LaceyPresley Ok why is it I can like ❤️ a post and not have to qualify why, but a dislike option I do? And the one option I’d expect to see isn’t even there. Because I don’t agree.
English

X just rolled out (or is testing) the thumbs-down on replies 👎 – here's the real scoop on what happens when you tap it:
You see a reply (like Elon's classic one-liner chaos in a thread) → tap the thumbs-down (or down arrow) → this popup appears:
"Reply feedback"
"Tell us what is wrong with this reply. Your feedback is private."
Options:
😞 Not interested in this post
📢 Incorrect or misleading
✨ AI generated
🗑️ Spam
🚩 Report post
Key points (no drama edition):
- 100% private: The poster (even if it's Elon 🚀) never sees it, no dislike count appears, no one knows you clicked.
- It's not a public "ratio" tool – it's for YOU: Tells the algorithm "show me fewer replies like this" → cleaner, more relevant threads & feed over time.
- Helps fight spam, bots, low-effort AI slop, or off-topic noise without turning comments into battlegrounds.
Example: Spot a reply that's pure spam farming views? Thumbs down + "Spam" → X learns, buries similar junk for you (and eventually others via aggregated signals).
Didn't click anything here – just sharing the popup for context. It's curation, not cancellation. Use it to train your X experience better.

By the end of 2026, it is completely possible that Iran and Cuba will have more free speech rights than the UK and Canada.
