What is the DUMBEST thing you've SEEN somone do with a console?

[TomLikesGuitar]

Except "try to make a sandwich" and "try and make a sandwich" amount to the same thing grammatically, whereas "couldn't care less" and "could have care less" mean almost the exact opposite of each other.

They amount to the same thing comprehensively... NOT grammatically. I mean, they do technically "amount" to the same thing grammatically, in the sense that they both are grammatically correct, but you're still confusing the two.

That's the point I'm trying to make... I think... in this thread... about "the dumbest thing [I've] ever seen someone do with a console"...

Can PC's count as a console? Because if so then:

OT: Me arguing about linguistics on The Escapist is the dumbest thing I've ever seen someone do with console.

My friend with his 360, he...played Legendary on it.

Technically not a console, but I saw a guy falcon punch his pc screen after his gf deleted all his WOW characters. After punching it off the desk he proceeded to throow it back across the room and started kicking it.

Have you ever seen Chris-chan (Christian Weston Chandler), with his PS3? Yeah, he does some stupid and scary things.

To people arguing about could/couldn't care less: If you remove the not, you are saying the EXACT OPPOSITE

I'll use another, rather extreme, example, to show this very clearly

Hitler was not right.

Oh, sure, let's remove the not, it still means the same thing overall, cos, you know, the language changes over time!

Well either way, right now could and could not/couldn?t are not at a stage where they are interchangeable. In fact the only sentence where could is used to apparent mean couldn?t is ?I could care less?. These words haven?t changed meaning and the sentence's more of a curiosity than anything else.
