i once saw a biologist standing over a dying seal with a clipboard taking notes…
it was just slowly gasping for breath, covered in some decay, baking in the sun…when i walked by again hours later, she was still there, looking amused…
the seal or the scientist?
neither
Yes.
I’ve seen that guy! Kayaking down a lazy river and there’s a dude catching and cataloging turtles. Stopped to chat a bit. No idea how the hell he got to where he was. No boat, no roads near.
Same trip I saw a couple of teens in the water around a bend. Waved at them, wait… WTF is that in the water? Whole ass horse comes busting out the river.
SAME trip, we got to where the rednecks hang out on the weekends. It’s a little village of shacks wrapped around a long, slow bend in the river, super cool. Dozens of adults and kids playing around, and a 5’ gator standing on the shore, stiff as a statue, just staring straight ahead.
I need to go kayaking this weekend.
No love for the mad theorists huh? The mad philosophers, linguists, mathematicians, …
They are already mad. Have you met mathematicians?
I would also go mad if I had to accept that 83 is a prime number but 1 isn’t
Yeah, 1 is a very strange number, but have you heard of 0?
what i’m mad about is that you can divide by infinity and get zero, but you can’t divide by 0 and get infinity. make up your minds maths people
Oh you totally can (as long as you’re working with implied limits, which you have to if infinity is in the mix), you just have to specify if it’s a positive or negative zero.
Literally a side plot of Disco Elysium.
Is that worth watching ?
It is a goddamn masterpiece and absolutely worth playing. I just finished playing it again after so many years.
It’s certainly worth playing if you enjoy whimsical philosophical narratives.
Excuse me? Whimsical? I did enjoy being a disco infused communism cop with a brain the size of earth that may have been addicted to every substance.
Yeah I was being a little glib. It’s close to perfect for me. Also Kim.
Who knew scientists could be this funny?
are you putting a license on your comments? first off i don’t think a one sentence comment is covered by copyright, second my brother in christ no one’s gonna cite their sources when copying comments
It’s supposed to be to not let AIs use your posts for training. I doubt it actually works tho.
feels like those “i do not consent to Facebook using my data” posts my grandma makes
