If we used Thomas Edison, we could hook him up to an AC generator and it would be a perpetual motion machine.
if you used someone like MLK Jr. the power would turn off the second we started being nice to black people. But hook Edison up to a Westinghouse AC Generator and the situation itself will light the world for all eternity.

Well, maybe a little while after that, if their Letter from Birmingham Jail is still their position. A notable part is about how people just being polite moderates doesn’t cut it:
“Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”
Curious why you say that? Edison is one of the greatest pieces of shit in inventor history. He has stolen more ideas and put so many small inventors out of business it would boggle your mind. I think he would be salivating at the current state of affairs for electricity and copyright law.
Edison was a huge proponent of DC power, so hooking him up to an AC device would endlessly annoy him.
Exactly this.
Alexander Hamilton.
Probably William Thomson after his body started breaking the laws of thermodynamics like that.
Socrates.
This man upheld his right to think his own thoughts and to go where the evidence led him. He stood trial and was sentenced to death.
Now, the most powerful people do not think, have zero principles, disregard evidence, and would gladly have others die to secure their power.
Socrates was executed for being super annoying.
How annoying is it to have idiotic anti-intellectuals running nuclear superpowers?
I was going to say George Washington with the direction the US is going he’d be pissed
But someone else said Jesus Christ, so yeah I think I’ll go with Jesus
I think he had a pretty good run, tbh.
Yeah but apparently he’s not in his grave right now 😂
Since others have been poking fun but not helping…
“Who’s” = “Who is”. So the post title asks “Who is rolling grave […]”.
Instead, it should be “whose”, which is the possessive form of “who”. It’s equivalent to “yours” or “his”.
So what you’re saying is that grammarians, with their total collective rollage, would be the correct answer.
Perhaps, in order to simplify, William Bullokar would be a good answer?
I’m sure I made mistakes here because one can’t discuss grammar without completely fucking it up.
Who’s
\facepalm
If minor grammar mistakes must bother you, politely explaining them will help educate readers and ensure they occur less often. This kind of reply is rude and unhelpful, especially since many people posting are not as experienced with the clusterfuck known as the English language, but also since this isn’t a formal setting where properness matters at all.
The guy who invented vaccines.
That would be Edward Jenner. He saved more lives than anyone else in history, and that number increases by the day. If it were up to me, his birthday would be an international holiday and kids would learn his name in elementary school.
John Brown has been writhing and spinning (and mouldering) in his grave for a very long time. Vengeful Wraith of John Brown for President!
I’m going with Nikola Tesla. Just imagine having THAT tasteless shit gibbon slap your name on a product and making gobs of cash off it. The fact Tesla hasn’t awakened from the dead to haunt his ass proves there’s no spirit world. If ANYONE could/would do it, it would have been Nikola Tesla.
One of the many obscure, mostly forgotten philosophers as college students thinking Philosophy was going to be an easy A absolutely butcher their language and thought.
What Nietzsche really meant in Thus Spoke Zarathustra is that we all just need to get along :)
Fred Durst?
Probs Jesus
He would be spinning in his grave, except…
Definitely, Jesus.
Damn, that’s a double strike!
Calls the Christians out as hypocrites while also denying the resurrection (because he’d still be in his grave).
-Karl Marx: his ideology, that intended to fight oppression, was only used to build dictatorships.
-Martin Luther King: institutionalized racism is still alive and well.
-Marsha P. Johnson: the current situation of american queer -and especially trans- people in America is self explanatory.
He’s She’s It’s Who’s
His Hers Its Whose
Watts thee’s?
Thy or thine
And Watts are Volts × Amps :p
Thees nuts gotteem
