Sounds like a honeytrap, those Furries must be up to something
Embrace the furries, could be fun for a fling.
Start pronouncing it ‘nucular’, there’s no bigger turn off.
Fun fact: “nuclear” ultimately comes from the Latin nucula, ‘little nut’. The c and l being adjacent is the result of metathesis, similar to pronouncing “ask” as “ax”.
Now go further back. Where does the latin word nucula come from?
RIGHT?! I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s based on the term NUCLEUS ffs.
Common misconception but it’s actually based on Saint Nukulus, the guy that puts uranium in your boots if you leave them out overnight.
Did you know he was a real-life engineer in ancient Turducky?
nuculus*
Now, to be fair, nucleus it comes from the latin nuculus. It just that it sounds bad and feels bad to say
Yes officer, she touched my nuculus.
Nuculeus
Nuculeuslear
So are we thinking they’re all gold diggers looking to get their fursuit bought, they’re all also in similar high earning fields looking for similar companionship or just assume OP is also a furry because every nuclear engineer is?
Cause I think it’s nr.3
I don’t get it. Why furries?
STEM fields are just full of furries, I don’t make the rules.
Because Seattle is full of them
What’s it got to do with being a nuclear engineer though? It just seems so random, it feels like I’m missing something.
Yes, and therein lies the humor, the juxtaposition of opining in casual tone what feels implied by the speaker to be mundane and relatable but which is in fact extremely niche and specifically un-relatable.
Sort of a similar situation with me and renfair people. I build and fit people with custom orthopedic braces and prosthetics and have access to a metal and leather lab.
I wouldn’t claim anyone is overly flirtatious, but they do seem to get friendlier and ask a lot of questions about things like hand setting rivets.
Cosplayers would also love you, but the venn diagram between cosplay and ren fair is nearly a circle, so
I do work with a lot of moldable foam. I’ve always kinda figured if I get kicked from the field or get bored I can always build costumes or custom leather kink gear.
#humblebrag
I will not be negged into fixing your plate mail.
I bet you can’t make me a leather scabbard
Easy… I have a wood working shop at home. I can just trace the sword and carve… Wait a sec.
I’ll take “that totally happened” for 200, please.
Lemmings spotting obvious satire challenge (impossible)
Clearly you have not regularly been to bars in Capitol Hill.
That’s nothing, that’s tame, that’s barely even remarkable as odd for all the wild shit I’ve seen and heard (and done -cough-) at and around the bars there.
That’s horrible! Truly awful! Which bars, specifically, should I be avoiding?
Well its been a while since I’ve been, but the Unicorn hopefully still has deepfried Snickers, uh, going to the Wild Rose as a dude is always… an option, lets say… aw fuck, they cancelled taco tuesday, apparently… and one of the original owners passed this year =(
Yeah I guess I’m a bit past my bar cruising prime years.
More or less, just avoid anywhere flooded by college kids, and you’ll probably find somewhere that matches your vibe.
Indeed I haven’t.
Well, perhaps you could try a Jeopardy-like quiz/trivia game at one of them some time =P
But that would require travelling to the US. I’ll have to pass on that until some semblance of sanity returns there. I don’t expect to see that in my lifetime.
Welp, thats entirely fair.
Yeah… we’re kinda all completely beyond fucked these days, over in the US.
I guess our death rattle will at least serve as the most extreme season of reality TV that’s ever been created, so… woooo for that I guess…
If you are worried about too many furries in your line of work, try changing jobs! Maybe get into IT or something?
Well then you just trade furries for scalies and bronies.
whoosh
Hmm, maybe you should become a vampire. That usually does the trick.
so this is lemmy’s “science memes” huh
What would you want instead, a picture of the cover of Principia Mathematica? Just a Wikipédia link to the page for Pilot Wave Theory? Some broccoli taped to a white wall?
I give it a month before we see the guy QQing about they types of people that hit on industrial engineers.
Are you a well-designed process? Because you have zero wasted steps and maximum output.
just wait till they ruin it like linux memes with femboys and socks and other garbage :(
Forbidden take
Oh, I am not alone with that? Yes.
If you don’t like this meme, post your own. That’s how this works, both here and on Reddit. Platform has nothing to do with it, unless it’s a closed, invite-only forum. That’s the only way you can keep out simple farmers, the people of the land. The common clay of the Earth.

Many such cases!
You guys just hate furries…
As with many things, you can love the content they produce while hating the fandom and all the people in it.
what is this content you’re referring to?
yes.
