What happens at the gender triple point?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 116 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The gender triple point, aka gender superposition, is where a gender can be calculated and estimated, but not observed. Attempting to observe the gender changes it to a different state.

In layman's terms, this is also called "mind your own fucking business, your obsession with my genitals is fucking weird and creepy."

Damn I love science

Someone take @bigFab@lemmy.world's car keys, they're obviously drunk

@TexasDrunk@lemmy.world, please hand out the "TheFartographer has bad Ideas" pamphlets

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely fucking not. I'm way more drunk than bigFab. I'm already handing out pamphlets that say "Vote TheFartographer for a fart in every pot and gas in every ass". I don't know what it means either, but I definitely voted for you.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shit, I voted for you! I've handed out pamphlets that say "TexasDrunk: stealing daddies since 1997 and playing triangle in a punk folk cover band tomorrow." I've offered to fart in a lot of pots and it's been pretty unpopular so far...

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's only unpopular because you're doing it to get them to vote for me. They all know I'm no good.

On an unrelated note, what are you doing up so late? I'm only up because I'm about to head to SA. My buddy has an extra Saturday ticket to Space Con and I'm going to drunkenly and shamelessly flirt with Kate Mulgrew since I don't think Eugene Cordero or George Takei will be there.

HOLY SHIT, FUCK YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER CARED ABOUT!

I wanted to go to Space Con and decided that it was simply too expensive, especially just a couple of weeks after going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show live. I hope it's amazing and that the entire guest list actually shows up. A few years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rick Moranis showed up for their first cons and everyone assumed that Alamo City Comic Con was just pulling our leg, so I wouldn't totally discount your favorite celebrities being there.

And I'm up late cuz it's the weekend and I gotta find some way to fuck myself over. Might as well be fucking up my sleep cycle.

The Freeman Coliseum isn't way too far from me, so DM me if you wanna meet up and mutually murder each other or say hi or something.

Frakes was supposed to be here but he has family stuff or something going on. I'm excited about LeVar Burton but I'm afraid I'm going to sit on the floor crying and singing the Reading Rainbow song.

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 1 month ago

Man, I love when I find gold like this in the comments section!

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I saw Frakes at ACCC a few years ago, that was pretty cool to attend his talk. Billy Zane was my favorite, though. As for LeVar, dude seems so cool, he'd probably sit and sing with you.

Worst experience I've had at a con: excitedly meeting Jaimie Kennedy (I was literally the only person to walk his queue) and finding out that he's a mega-asshole. Also smells like an asshole. I threw away his autograph in front of him and told him that he lost his only fan at the entire con.

Hey, I'm sorry I missed you while I was in town. I love your face anyway and now I'm out here in H-town making bad decisions.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No worries. I've never been more proud of you

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You've never been proud of me at all!

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Couldn't beer further from the truth. Son, I am not disappoint

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I've never had a bad con experience, luckily enough. I love Billy Zane, but I'm afraid if I ever meet him I'll just ramble about Winter Dragon.

Now I have things to do. I'll catch you either later this evening or tomorrow.

[–] schnapsman@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

That's where you find the bisexual she/theys in hetero relationships.

Transcendence of gender as a concept entirely

I am I, gender is a social construct I no longer need. My gender can be perceived in infinite variations depending upon the observer.

All 3 states exist at the same time, rapidly alternating between them.
