omg the cringe that was "Tony is female coded" / "Tony vs Cap is domestic violence".

Transition metals don't exist, everyone knows there are only 2 elements

Is that joke that on a cosmic level, it's mostly hydrogen and helium (?) so others get ignored, like how genders other than the usual 2 get ignored? If so, that's so smart and funny, wow.

Or is it something else that I'm not getting?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Pretty much, the universe is hydrogen, helium, and rounding errors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. Cosmologists work at the largest scale and often simplify regular matter down to hydrogen ("gas") and everything else ("metal").

So if you ever see a reference to the "metallicity" of a star, that can include the presence of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, etc... which chemists of course would never refer to as metals.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, there are more elements. But there are only two elements there is an infinite supply of in the universe, Hydrogen and Stupidity, and we're not sure about Hydrogen. /forgot whose joke this was

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The internet says it is an Einstein quote.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I am betting like most quotes attributed to him that it is made up though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This one's unproven. Given the quotability, I'm gonna say if he really did say it we'd know for sure.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And they both have cute little wheelchair persons as pets!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

"Honey, do you think we should get a little wheelchair person?"

They can use whichever one they want.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The real challenge: use both at once!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pee might be slightly magnetic from all the rust & minerals, so with a complex system of magnets & pulleys, its possible.

Also if both doors just open to the same bathroom.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iron? Manganese? I don't care what transition metal you are, at the end of the day you just want to fulfill your desire for d...

I'm sure there's a better version of the joke out there, but being funny isn't my strength

It is fluorine indeed.

Dysprosium is an f-block element tho.

Yeah. Whoever decided on these is an idiot or deliberately calling women "females". Just on a standardization issue one is sex and one is gender.

Or they’re just having fun…

Gender Alchemy

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Ok, what I love, is that the "symbol" for iron (circle with NE arrow), is used as the symbol for "male", so it's switched here.

AND THEN, that same symbol is used by automaker Volvo... Which is awfully close to "vulva"... Which references back to female!

I was curious if there was a bimetal junction transistor (BJT) joke to make here, and turned up an interesting paper talking about a FeMn-bimetal complex effectively absorbing microwave radiation.

Best I think we can do here is "trans-sister."

Don't forget about Nb people too! (niobium)

penis urinal

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Also what's with the circle around women vs. the triangle around men? Is this some meaningful gender related symbolism that I'm unaware of?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

On the left, you can see the shape of a female breast, on the right, the shape of a male penis.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It looks more like "hey, a cool design"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If I had to match curves vs angles to women vs men I would probably do it like that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are they also only for children in wheelchairs?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

no, no, no ... you have to disable your child first ... then you can use the restroom

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Huh, this is the exact design of some of the bathrooms at SFU. I wonder if it's fairly common?
