Me in 1994: I'm gonna be a physicist so I can solve the secrets of the universe!

Me in 2023: I'm gonna have to spend time online explaining to weirdos that vaccines don't make you magnetic

@drskyskull well, not vaccines, but with a sufficiently strong magnet 🧲 we could polarize you!
@wa7iut @drskyskull Or say something like, um, eat an alkaline diet for a few days to cancel out the magnetic charge. (Howz that for mixing up the science words?)
@AskPippa @wa7iut @drskyskull Eating small game birds are best if you need to be degroused.

@DocBohn @AskPippa @drskyskull

If we keep this up, we may drive @drskyskull to hysteresis! He’ll go around the loop.

@DocBohn @wa7iut @drskyskull Agh! That one took me a while before It suddenly hit. Degaussed. Hahaha!!

@drskyskull Hahahaha!
Better you than me, Doc. It's noble work, and thankless.

So thank you. 🙏✌️

@drskyskull Oh, but that integrated 5G is reliable, though. 😜

@drskyskull
vaccines: no magnetism, no Deinosuchus DNA, no 5G - so disappointing!

but at least they protect us from deadly diseases.

@drskyskull

I didn't even get a little upgrade to built-in Bluetooth from it! *Disappointed*

@kyrsjo @llewelly @drskyskull audio signal still fades when I accidentally cover the sides of my head with my hands.

Needs patching tbh can't believe it was released in such a state

@drskyskull I honestly wouldn't bother, if people don't want them, then they don't have to take them. I am invoking the rule of Maher, whatever Bill Maher is currently saying & who he is discussing it with, it is wise to be on the other side of that position...

@Vonskinnback

Hi Baron,

Almost everyone needs to take vaccines if you want them to work. If you don't, the disease remains among the unvaccinated population and gets more chances to mutate. The more mutations, the higher the chance that it finds a way to infect even those who have been vaccinated.

@Chip_Unicorn We are currently in the golden age of ignorance, unfortunately for the intelligent & the enlightened we get to live alone side these biblical morons who think they know better because they believe it makes them look informed edgy & intelligent, obviously the opposite is true but they don't understand that, or they don't care because it annoys people like us. We honestly can't force them to do anything, because that is authoritarianism. So we wait, they die & so do some of us. 🤷‍♂️
@Chip_Unicorn we just have to hope that the numbers fall in the right direction or this intolerant nonsense could go on for decades, or even get worse...😩
@Vonskinnback @drskyskull
Do it because Bill Maher said to, don't do it because Bill Maher said to: You're still doing things because of what Bill Maher said
@RnDanger @drskyskull fair point, but to be fair I was already ignoring RFK, the fact that BM came out in support of him was just another reminder as to why I no longer watch him anymore...

@Vonskinnback @drskyskull

That's good. I hope I wasn't too annoying here, I was just adapting a thing from Community. I really didn't mean to sound so preachy 😅

@RnDanger @drskyskull I am annoyed that I didn't pick that up, I love community...🤦🏻‍♂️😂
@drskyskull well it is a polarising opinion 🤷
@drskyskull "weirdos" is a funny way to spell "idiots"
@drskyskull So what do I inject to make myself magnetic?

@avatastic @drskyskull you're already all set, friend. Deoxygenated hemoglobin is paramagnetic, while oxygenated hemoglobin is diamagnetic! (*)

(* - while this is true, the actual measurable effects are so miniscule as to be completely absent in actual practice ( obligatory jokesplain to prevent the magnetic bracelet folks from claiming I'm supporting them))

@avatastic sometimes i'd also like to walk on walls xD...

@drskyskull …so…what you are saying was 1994 was the correct one.

Because I am 100% sure the weirdos aren’t listening to 2023 you. And the secrets of the universe are still undiscovered. And you aren’t happy about either.

First choice is usually the best choice. Go be that astronaut/fire fighter/playdough taster…whatever.

@drskyskull That's ok... I have spent the past week teaching people about sonoluminescence during a cavitation event deep under water. Apparently the process of collapsing a bubble with sound/shock waves causes plasma to form within the bubble as the wave bounces back and forth within the bubble at 18,000 cycles per second!

The temperature reaches about 10,430⁰F or 5,776⁰C! Same as the surface of our Sun.

@drskyskull A transporter malfunction sent you to the dumbest timeline.
@drskyskull Unfortunately, one of the secrets of the universe is that most people prefer bunk to reality.
@drskyskull
Your mama is so vaccinated, she got her own Van Allen Belt!
@drskyskull Phillip J. Fry really was right - time makes fools of us all.
@drskyskull I mean, air travel..... Metal detectors. These people are so god damn incompetent. Or their followers are. Either way.....
@drskyskull the extra arm growing from my chest that the vaccine gave me is really useful. You won’t hear me complaining.

@drskyskull

Me in 1985: I'm going to get an undergrad in physics and be so good at it that I'll have unified the fields before civilization ends.

Me in 2023: Welp, I got the degrees, but I'd better get back into physics if I want to beat that doomsday clock.

@drskyskull
same dude just substitute archaeology for physics and explaining that no, aliens did not build /Stonehenge/ the pyramids (insert ancient site of your choice)
@drskyskull Showed this to my son (senior yr physics major) and he busted out laughing! Then sighed. LOL!
@drskyskull I wonder why people would fear being magnetic, after all, it makes it much easier to pick up thinks like those pesky small screws we all tend to drop when repairing our mobile phones.
