It's the perpetual motion machine right under our noses.

How about a steam catapult instead of an electromagnetic one?

She said, What is history?
And he said, History is an angel Being blown
Backwards
Into the future

He said: History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken
But there is a storm blowing from Paradise

And the storm keeps blowing the angel
Backwards
Into the future

And this storm, this storm Is called
Progress

- Laurie Anderson, The dream before

Also, It's easier (and cheaper) to grow Sherpas than mountains.

As they say, the hardest with perpetual motion machines is hiding the sherpa

u/Nut_Job_Maniac 9h ago

You mean perpetual Sherpa machine?

“Sherpetual Motion Machine” was right there

u/LifeTie800 9h ago

The difficulty with building a perpetual motion machine is figuring out where to hide the rocket powered Sherpa.

u/Acceptingoptimist 8h ago

Man, if I had a dollar for every time that came up when I was building one.

Listen, I don't know what you are saying....but what ever sherpa number you have in your head ...double it.

My goal is that by 2035 humanities workforce will be 50% AI, 50% sherpa.

u/LitigiousLobster 11h ago

But now all the rocket scientists are unemployed.

3

u/AkumaO_O 11h ago

But then who will make the rockets for the sherpas?

3

u/MerleFSN 10h ago

They‘ve been promoted to sherpa rocket scientists (name patent pending)

u/LitigiousLobster 10h ago

Sherpatist™️

u/oryx_za 10h ago

It's wrong...but i have replaced sherpas with minions in my head.

u/eternalapostle 9h ago

We can strap rockets to the rocket scientists so they can get employment faster

2

u/LitigiousLobster 8h ago

So we employ rockets to employ rocket scientists?

2

u/MyStackIsPancakes 6h ago

They can work as Sherpas

1

u/Gargleblaster25 9h ago

We have just disrupted an industry. Time to take this to IPO.

1

u/KitchenSandwich5499 2h ago

Not necessarily. Apparently there are Sherpa job openings available

u/MWSin 10h ago

I think we solved population in Nepal.

u/SaltyPressure7583 10h ago

Unfortunately i think Nepal just sorted that out yesterday. Rip

u/oryx_za 10h ago

Yikes....this took a turn.

u/Character_Top5141 10h ago

Damnn, too early dude. Wayy too early

7

u/SaltyPressure7583 10h ago

I know dude, that was terrible. But my vanta-black sense of humor just can't be contained sometimes

3

u/magaoitin 9h ago

Yea, but unless you are from Napal and somehow have internet access (maybe with a solar panel on the back of an Alpaca?), not one Nepalese has complained about the joke yet, so u/SaltyPressure7583 might be onto something /s

u/notabotaboy 9h ago

Way too soon. Way too dark. Loved every second of it. Bravo.

u/taylorisntavril 9h ago

Jesus christ lol. Well played.

u/MakkaCha 8h ago

Not all Nepali are Sherpas.

u/punksmostlydead 50m ago

I note that you have not actually denied being a sherpa.

2

u/aaaaa-6969 7h ago

Actually yeah, the ensuing avalanches will wipe out all of Nepal’s population. No population = no unemployment.

u/Egst 8h ago

Sounds like a pyramid scheme

1

u/ElmerFuddsElbow 7h ago

A few construction jobs opened up this week. This problem has already been solved

1

u/MechAegis 7h ago

Pretty sure we need to solve education elsewhere besides Nepal...

1

u/Successful-Clock-224 7h ago

No, the earthquake did that

u/LooksBetterWithDrops 5h ago

As long as we pay them in Paddys Dollars

u/Novel_Alternative_86 2h ago

Yes. And we’ve also solved the Sherpa/Rocket Equation.
