The mechanism is straightforward, but it is not as easy to make a

Sections of a truck inner-tube?

It looks cute in a redneck kind of way, but in actuality it is very
inconvenient and the tire wears out.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
