I used to have a 2000 Honda insight that I ripped the hybrid battery out of and just drove it on the 3 cylinders. That thing was geared so high I would drive up hills flooring it in 2nd gear at like 35 mph. 5th gear basically never got used unless I needed to go 85 mph+

Fun car that stranded me only a couple times lol. The “replacement” hybrid battery was an Arduino spliced into the wiring harness to trick the car computer that everything was okay. Felt like some real ghetto cyberpunk shit driving that thing around.

Just chill in the denial stage and have fun.

Like the liquid in a glowstick. Or whatever Hollywood uses when they portray plutonium.

A bit of junkyard scrap, leds, and some luminescent goo would get the point across. Make sure to use your shittiest camera too.

This ain’t the 1950s anymore. Make sure you’re offering up all the help you can give and don’t take no for an answer. Thanksgiving is a lot less stressful when you treat it like a potluck :)
