    Both are dumb as fuck. Hint: if you have only some wood and no instruments to work on it save a saw and a hammer, you are not going to make a car with internal combustion engine

    Now watch the history of dumb fucks trying to make a “good” society with people who have no idea why exploiting others is not good

      As a wood scientist, I can confirm that wood is generally a poor material for engine block manufacture.

          I’m trying and failing to find it. But awhile back I did see a trolling video one of the YouTube woodworkers created. I can’t recall the exact details, but they built a fireplace, a stove, or similar fire containing device. Except, they built it out of wood. Unfortunately, the concept seems unsearchable, as there’s no way to not get the search engines to interpret “fireplace made of wood” as “wood burning fireplace.”

          They built this thing and set a fire inside it. And it went…well, about as well as one would expect.
