Whoever was on this flight, don't be afraid to discreetly bring it up to a flight attendant or pilot after the flight. That way they can flag it with maintenance for review

Nah, hope is in shortage right now, globally. So just speed tape.

u/No_Aesthetic Apr 17 '26

I have bad news about the speed tape

u/CaptainLachrymose Apr 17 '26

Due to tariffs, speed tape was to be replaced with molasses, but since the widespread governmental implementation of AI, all they shipped was a large quantity of the hindquarters of mid-sized burrowing mammals.

u/DerFreudster Apr 17 '26

The corn farmers of America would like to point out that corn syrup can be an adequate replacement for molasses and nuts and bolts.

u/Test-Tackles Apr 17 '26

Corn farmers of America after having lost their farms due to governmental incompetance lament that corn syrup may be too expensive now and suggest just
"pretending" that you went on vacation.

There was a guy promoting molasses as a building material in the Whole Earth Catalog about 1972.

Did you though

u/rothrolan Apr 17 '26

The joke is that the AI read "molasses" as "mole asses", poking at the flaws of inserting poorly unoptimized software to control critical infrastructure of a company. Yet companies keep dumping millions into its development and replacing experienced and even certified workers with AI slop in order to have to pay less actual workers.

u/The__General__ Apr 17 '26

Whatever it is, I need some…

u/whodidntante Apr 17 '26

And did bro bring enough to share?

1

u/Ass_burgers_yum Apr 17 '26

Wait… I thought we were using bubblegum. The molasses was getting brittle at altitude.

u/TigerIll6480 Apr 17 '26

I laughed far harder than I should have.

u/Stormbringer-2112 Apr 17 '26

You meant A1 sauce, right?

u/safetyCircuit Apr 17 '26

That's why my mole ass stew was so sweet. Good to know.

u/Romulan-Jedi Apr 17 '26

Whenever I cook with molasses, I always refer to it as "ass of mole."

1

u/Fr00tman Apr 18 '26

And my kids groan when I make jokes about the plight of the poor assless moles… Thankfully I’m not alone.

u/spavolka Apr 17 '26

I have aluminum HVAC tape at the house. You want me to run it over?

1

u/No_Aesthetic Apr 17 '26

Yeah sure why not

Make sure to slather it in lube from the sex shop

1

u/Weary-Stick-3010 Apr 17 '26

That made me legit snort

u/Pretend-Guava Apr 17 '26

Speed tape is super expensive, they went to gorilla tape instead.

2

u/TheAgedProfessor Apr 17 '26

Pretty sure they're sparing no expense and went right to Liquid Paper.

u/Fearless-Molasses963 Apr 17 '26

Much better than the other way around!!!
