It's a good thing the turkey doesn't slap back

How to cook a turkey by slapping it. This is much safer than dropping it from orbit, letting the atmosphere fry it and trying to catch it with a butterfly net.
By next year, Michael Reeves will have a version of this where the chicken emits a constant stream of profanity and the slapper only works if someone in the room gets tased by it at regular intervals.

Oddly, I kinda thought the same, chronkite.
And I'm white people.
In slightly tangentials: it was a steak, not a turkey, pyramid termite, that was dropped from space.
But ok maybe this is where I have no clue what the difference is between xkcd and this.

Can you cook a turkey by arguing politics with it? Because that would be the perfect Thanksgiving tradition.

Sometimes I get the feeling that in a decade or so, close to 100% of white American males 30 and under will be fully employed making YouTube videos where they slowly and expensively do something pointless, interspersed with lots of fist pumping and testosterone-fuelled cries of "yeah, let's go!!!".
Oh well. Happy Thanksgiving, American friends.
PS Thank you for the link to that tool, credulous - should lower my daily crotchetiness levels significantly.

This should be something in the next Saw movie.

I tried to roast a turkey once, but the Friars' Club didn't think the turkey was well-known or beloved enough.

This also puts Monty Python's 'Fish-Slapping Dance' in a whole new light.

Obligatory XKCD.

You say this like it's a bad thing.
