Google keep pumping the bubble meaning AI Overview The phrase "keep pumping the bubble" is not a standard English idiom, but a variation likely built on existing "bubble" and "pump" idioms. Its probable meaning is to continue to encourage or inflate an unrealistic idea, an isolated worldview, or a speculative financial situation. Here is a breakdown of the likely intended meaning, based on related common phrases: 1. In a Financial Context The most common use of "bubble" in this sense refers to an economic or market bubble, where asset prices rise rapidly and outpace their true intrinsic value due to speculation and irrational exuberance. Meaning: To "keep pumping the bubble" would mean to continue investing money, spreading hype, or taking other actions that drive prices higher, despite the underlying fundamentals not supporting the valuation. This action prolongs the bubble, which will eventually "burst," leading to a sudden crash in prices.

I had this on in the background while I was building, and let me tell you, if you're not really paying attention and just listening along, the hokeyness of the dialogue goes up considerably

I have questions though: why do most of the bags have a smaller sub-bag inside them, containing a seemingly arbitrary selection of #lego pieces?
