People: Help! Our home is on fire.

Tech bro: Here's a gallon of organic diesel.

People: Our home will be burned at that stage.

Tech bro: Your home is immaterial. The innovation is required for the homes we will build on Mars.

People: But it's your home too!

Tech bro: ?

@gerrymcgovern Well, diesel fuel can be useful for putting out certain alkali fires. I wouldn't bet on it being useful for lithium fires, but it's entirely plausible. And why would techbros care about putting out any fire that isn't caused by lithium? blobcatupsidedown
