I don't think using a refrigerator to crush a fly is bullshit.

Is it too difficult to do by yourself? Yes.

Will it damage your floor? Yes.

Will it damage the refrigerator? Yes.

But I don’t think it’s bullshit because it does solve a real problem - killing the fly.

It is bullshit because it only works in theory, the big refrigerator will crush the tiny fly ... in reality the fly escapes with ease

the bullshit part refers to just that, pretending that the refrigerator could be an appropriate good solution, when in fact can't actually even perform the task
