A screenshot of a post showing a red pickup truck with a mechanical arm structure attached to its bed, holding a magnet in front of a metal plate mounted on the front bumper, titled “Okay explain why this wouldn’t work”. Below, a comment from the official Volkswagen account reads “We sent this to the engineering department and they blocked us on teams.”

    Switch the magnet for a carrot and the truck for a donkey, it’s way simpler than you tech bros are making it out to be.

        And yet… there is attraction. I propose, until we’ve studied it enough to come up with a better name, the “donkey carrot attraction force”

          I don’t care whom you’re attracted to, but you might want to keep this one to yourself… Unless you’re in the FBI!

          I don’t think the carrot is attracted to the donkey the way the donkey is attracted to the carrot…

            Perhaps in a few years, after I’ve published my paper on Donkey-Carrot-Attraction-Force, you can design an experiment to study the asymmetry of the effect. I look forward to your citations!

        Don’t worry it’s an AI generated carrot and an AI donkey (somehow). Where’s my funding?
