It’s true it’s not the thing holding my beer. It’s not the humans are gonna want that beer back as soon as possible. They will do anything and you know it’s even worse if a human says hold my second beer.
True, too true. We just want the suffering/malfunction to end so we say "hold my beer" so we can take care of the problem and, as you said, get back to our beer before it gets warm and we lose our buzz.
Yup. Percussive maintenance usually works if something is slightly stuck or a connection is loose. It also works if something is bent out of alignment.

I can't recall wich book series( dragonlance?) had gnomes saying whoops being the most terrifying thing in the universe, having people diving for cover 😂
These stories are very fond of ' Sweet Home Alabama', percussive maintenance, trepidation, existential crises, 'Hold My Beer', MacGyver, Dr Who, StarTrek, Stargate, Monty Python, (names like Blorp, Zizksk, Pip), RickRolls,(the surnames: Chen, Rodriguez), interpretive dance, Deathworld, disco, Spicy food, Tuesday, The need to update insurance &/or wills...etc

I have to say that this is the most entertaining story I’ve heard. The majority I’ve seen so far tap into the absolute mastery of warfare that humans would probably have because we’ve spent thousands of years fighting each other. But this…😂🤣…pure gold. Love it.

The power wasn’t in the phrase “hold my beer”, the power originated from the human wanting to get back to his beer as quickly as possible.
While making sure the problem will not interrupt them anytime soon, possibly indefinitely
It’s true it’s not the thing holding my beer. It’s not the humans are gonna want that beer back as soon as possible. They will do anything and you know it’s even worse if a human says hold my second beer.
