every time somebody starts talking about power plants i go back to the seeds of my liberal poisoning ----- sim city 2000

anyways, i choose the microwave plant so i can do really sick tricks on my deck in that massive dish

      It's a rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave

          Is this actually what a 'microwave' would be in this context? I don't know about this kind of stuff so not sure if this is a joke

            It would be transfered via microwaves, that is, EM waves with micrometer frequencies.

      FS Shifty + Stalefish Tweak into a (somewhat sloppy) Eggplant Nose Pick

        An eggplant is a handplant variation lip trick while a nosepick is a BS disaster into an overcrook stall instead of a lipslide stall, therefore making an eggplant nosepick impossible nerd

        You probably meant a beanplant, which is a boneless variation where the board is popped like a no comply into a nosegrab before the footplant instead of an earlygrab indy footplant jump.

        I love how fucking goofy skate trick names are

        Like "dudeeeee did you see that fakie disco flip to seatbelt grab salad grind?!"

      Birds?

      I don't know if the power density would actually be high enough to cook birds... but I don't really care to check because it'll never be built in reality so real-world performance is irrelevant, and sci-fi maser satellites are cool. Unless you're a bird.
