Is this a thing...?

From an ad for some potentially crappy cheapish wheels on Amazon. Do people actually ride with the stem backwards, or is that a hilarious ad fail (or both)? :notamused:

It's advertising that the frame can barspin.

No matter what your post is about, the answer is going to be yes.

Vague titles FTL.

Aah, that makes sense. Are those wheels any good?

good for what? sinking a boat?

sure.

If the wheels sink a boat, it'd have to be a boat of significantly worse quality than the wheels themselves. I was thinking more about, you know... rolling well in a predictable fashion for awhile.

point was that they're really heavy. boat anchors.

+1 If you can think of it there is somebody out there who is into it.

You must be thinking of cannonballs.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that is a thing of some kind. In fact, after looking at it some more, I am 100% certain.

I'm going to go ahead and say it is not a thing, just for the sake of opposition.

Does the particular exhibit thing-like properties?

Can you touch it, or is it otherwise perceived?

Is its existence inherent in itself or dependent on our perception of it?

This is completely a thing.

Forget what I was talking about earlier, it was pretty late for me, was delirious.

That's definitely a thing.

How can one person imperically prove that this thing is in the world, making it a real thing, and not just a thing in one's own mind, making it just a mind thing?

I can see it, too, if that helps.

Dude, please keep your mind away from my thing.

How do I even know you're real?

Of course he's not real. He's probably just virtual.

you guys are all so busy talking about your things that you forgot what incredible toe overlap those boat anchors cause! that's definitely a thing

local. bike. shop.

Then you're asking the questions is it possible there is a mind-independent world as well as absolute certainty/proof.

****in meta dude..

Definitely not meta, pretty sure it was a movie....
