All spells in harry potter are Latin. autocinetorum means car crash ieiunium fragore means crash fast, and ruinare adossum accelerate means to crash accelerate

Or more specifically to accelerate so fast that you fall over.

Yes but you see mine was funny and that's what's important.

so you're saying CRASHUS ACCELERANDO *could* be the spell they cast that crashed their car

Roughly translates to Wing Garden Light

citation? bc wing is English, and there's no latin word gardium or ardium afaict. The only garden I know is hortus and I don't see what gardens have to do with floating anyway

It's from the actor Peter Wingard, whom JK Rowling had a passionate affair with. Leviosa was her pet name for his... well anyway.

"The American EV company led by Elon Musk eliminated the front-facing radar from its vehicles in 2021" Huh I wonder if a radar would have helped here.

I kind of love that the replies are degenerating into linguistic debate about shitty Harry Potter spells.

A quick search shows that this happened in 2016. So why is it suddenly going viral now?

Counterpoint: it should never stop going viral

I'm struggling to feel as bad about this as a human being ought to feel. Ah. There. Struggle over. Don't feel bad at all.

More like "oh no, if it isn't the consequences of my actions." It's not Rowling's fault you're watching a movie while you should be paying attention to the road, nor technically Elon's fault that you're not paying attention, even if the Self Drive AI is inaccurate. That's why you pay attention. 🙄

Um pedantry but JKR isn’t a billionaire. She’s given away so much of her money to charities (orphans, rspe crisis centre, etc) that she can only be classed as a millionaire.

She’s not a billionaire. It’s a lot of money. Most billionaires hoard money! She’s dropped off rich lists because she’s given away so much.

Millionaire, billionaire, they're still walking on our spines, lol

Gotta support the ones dropping out of the rich list through charity. You can be rich and good. Just as you can be evil and poor.
