A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I actually met my wife because I commented on her ankles. At a bar, she went the wrong way and did a 180. I saw how beautiful she was, wanted to take a shot, mentally went down the list of appropriate body parts to comment on without coming off creepy or thirsty, and shouted, "Nice ankles."
Don't knock it folks.
Women: Just don't look at my bony knees!

Well, I got arrested. I hope you're happy...
There's a TV show about this... "Strange Planet" (TV too)
Strange Planet is a... TV show?
Holy shit...it is a show....wild
I'm already swooning.
Time to start gooning
Not in front of my tooning!
Alright Zuckerberg calm down
That last one has me stumped.. Their hands look like they're good at sprinting from a standstill? 🤔
It means their limbs look strong (they look fit)
Fun fact tapairs have prehensile cocks!
Dolphins do too. Ducks have ones that are shaped like a corkscrew.
Did you also know that female hyenas have cocks? And that male hyenas get boners as a sign of submission, which other hyenas acknowledge by licking it?
So do human penises.
That's why they're mushroom shaped
Fair 😁
I'm pretty sure they only talked about torque and nothing about sprinting.
In case you learned about torque from a gearhead, torque is essentially a measure for the rotational effect of force around a fulcrum. So, since most (all ?) of our limb motions are turning around some pivot point (joints), we can measure torque for all of those.
Now I realise how hard it was for them to define torque to me as a child.
In case you learned about torque from a gearhead
Yeah, English isn't my first language and the first time I heard the word was watching Top Gear as an adult a decade or two ago, so that's my most immediate association 😄
What does toque have to do with sprinting from a standstill? Torque of more like, capacity to put out mechanical energy. I read this as "your arms look capable of lifting heavy weights".
I first learned the word in relation to cars where torque plays a big part in acceleration 😁
Yeah. Torque (at the wheel) multiplied by the wheel radius will give the force that the car exerts on the ground, parallel to the ground. That will finally determine the acceleration of the car.
Though from what I remember, torque - as given with a car's information - is measured at the flywheel, so there's more calculations you will have to do to get the correct answer.
Whereas the torque of my limbs are measured at the fly of my pants, am I right? Up top!
(I am not right)
The fibers one is excellent. I will be using that in the future.
If you use number 4, you should prepare thyself for what comes next.
Any of these are acceptable responses to being told you have pretty eyes.
