I have a few daemons running in the background of my computer

[–] [email protected] 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yap, not a demon, just a core. You'll also need an init and a set of coreutils to make one.

I'll take the plutonium mass and a flathead screwdriver please, it'll be safer.

Science is proof that 99.9% people who think that, if there was a knowledge-based magic system irl, then they'd learn it and be a mage are in denial.

We legit have magic that you just have to learn & then can do all sorts of cool stuff, be it chemistry or computer science, and people pretty routinely do not give a shit about learning it themselves.

Motherfucker , I became an engineer becausw if was the closest I could come to rolling a mage.

Society doesn't prioritize knowledge for it's own sake. It prioritizes making money. If society was different, more people could pursue hard sciences.

I know, its really a shame about all those low paying STEM jobs. I remember back when I was a kid I used to tell everyone I wanted to be an engineer when I grew up, but all the moneys in literature and poetry so thats what I had to do. Damn you, capitalism!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

Because the average researcher is SWIMMING in money right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

There's a difference between being an engineer and being a physicist. One deepens our understanding of the universe and the other uses our understanding of physics to build products. One is clearly valued more by capitalism.

Science is also for artificers.

Also people aren't necessarily able to monetize their interest in science. Maybe if there were no barriers like people needing to pay for education, food, shelter, transportation, medical care, and the air they breathe then maybe a larger portion of those people would be the mage they want to be or at least closer to it. As it stands you are right, but things can be different than they are right now

Is the thing labeled "What the Fuck" a mercury rectifier?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yes. I've seen one in action. It's beautiful but deadly. Looks like genuine magic with sparks and glowing shit bouncing around.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Why the fuck would you need to to rectify mercury

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Serious answer: it rectifies electric current, using mercury vapor. It looks pretty cool but it's very obsolete technology.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

And generated a fuck tonne of UV, so….don’t look at it with your remaining eye.

It's a nice planet that is commonly misunderstood

Please tell me "rectify" does not mean "insert into a rectum."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Only if you consider consider putting something into your rectum correct

Isn’t a lot of that just fancy chemistry?

“AMATEURS!” bellows the shadowy mathematician from the dark corner.
