      Sure, but the question in the meme isn’t “how do you make electricity”…it’s “how does that ‘electricity’ work?”

      You can make electricity with your hands rubbing on cloth, or with any number of other mechanisms that aren’t windings.

        They aren’t looking for an academic discussion. They want to see practical uses. I don’t know why you’re trying so hard to read it in a bizarre way.

          They’re greek or Roman, they absolutely are looking for an academic discussion, wtf are you talking about. And I’m not reading into it in a bizarre way, it’s literally what’s in the meme.

            Not like Romans were famous engineers that built things. JFC. Not like people in the past tried to improve things. Nope. You are reading it bizarrely. I’m gonna leave it at that.
