Like sweeping something under a rug. This is the post modern, gen z style way to imply a new connotation of the underlying political weight that we can hide something in place that is obviously going to out itself eventually, but since politics are so short sighted, it's fine... This is fine... We will just shove these here for now and pretend that the waste is not as bad for the planet as other thing like... Cow farts.
Definition: "Shoving windmill blades into a coal mine" is like trying to hide something that is embarrassing, illegal, or wrong, or trying to keep a problem secret. Like, sweeping something under a rug. The additional connotation is that there is an added layer of betrayal to the common man because something described this way means the thing is being hidden by the very body that promises to have our best interest in mind.
For example, when her mother found out she had cancer, and realized that it was likely due to the mother's habitual smoking for years, she chose to shove the windmill blades into a coal mine and just convince the girl that it was just a cold that wouldn't quit and vitamins would be fine.

Definition:
Current Limiting Interrupter (CLI) (noun) - It is an electrical protection device designed to automatically terminate a circuit’s conduction upon detecting an excessive electrical flow while also restricting the magnitude of that electrical flow during the termination sequence.
Significance:
• It defines a type of electrical protection device.
• It emphasizes its function of both limiting and interrupting the electrical flow.
• It identifies the protection it provides contrary to excessive current.
• It avoids the use of prohibited origins within possible definition parameters.
• It improves comprehension of this specific type of circuit protection.
• It replaces more verbose descriptions of the device.

Get the voltage limiting interrupter mug.The dilemma of defining and locating the "smoke" of genuine smarts. We can measure performance (IQ, skills, adaptability), but can't pinpoint the fundamental "fire" that produces it. Is intelligence a single, general thing (the g factor), or a bag of tricks? Can it exist without consciousness? If we create an AI that outperforms humans in every task, have we created intelligence, or just an elaborate, hollow simulation? It's the problem of separating the appearance of smart behavior from the elusive, essential quality of understanding that presumably underlies it.
Example: "The chess computer beat the grandmaster, but faced with a collapsed aisle in a grocery store, it's useless. The hard problem of intelligence is figuring out if true smarts is that narrow excellence, or the general, common-sense adaptability to navigate a messy world that the computer utterly lacks." Hard Problem of Intelligence

Get the Hard Problem of Intelligence mug.Similar to cognition, but focused on adaptive problem-solving. The hard problem is distinguishing between evolved, automated biochemical responses and genuine, flexible intelligence. When a plant shapes its growth to outcompete a neighbor, is it executing a brilliant strategic move, or is it just a biological robot running immutable code written by natural selection? The line is blurred, forcing us to ask if "intelligence" requires an ability to learn anew within a lifetime, or if eons of genetic "learning" can produce something that qualifies.
*Example: "The tree's roots detected a water pipe leak 30 feet away and grew toward it. The hard problem of plant intelligence: Is that a clever solution to a novel problem, showing real-time smarts, or just a lucky coincidence of its always-grow-toward-moisture programming hitting the jackpot?"*
