Straight line and sharp corners in almost all crystals.
Nice eg. in Ireland
Worked as a physicist for 30 years, nobody talks like that. Everyone else in the room is to smart, and will slap you down for using absolutes.
>nobody
You should be slapped as well then.Well it’s about time someone picked up on that one. It was low hanging fruit.
I’m about to slap you both. For the lulz.
Like The Three Stooges.
For some reason your comment makes me think of this
would it be more grammatically correct if he said “with enough derogation”?
Yes, but I think that playing with the grammar is part of the joke, as if derogatory is quantifiable.
Ahem… “too”.
That explains why the Sith were rarely seen in the sciences.
Think you’d rather catch an art teacher saying that than a scientist tbh.
And this is why absolute statements are generally bad arguments. It only takes one example to disprove them.
Only Siths deal in absolutes
Mostly Siths deal in absolutes.
No scientists ever said that.
I didn’t say they did. I was commenting on the meme and speaking generally.
It’s a haha
Wildcats are nature, they have multiple very sharp corners.
No need to go that far, I have one set of sharp corners sitting right on my lap. Also help, I’m trapped. :(
Your lap has been chosen! You cannot move until you are allowed to move.
well done OP, you really stuck it to those stupid scientists
/s
just because someone calls themself a scientist doesnt mean they are, as evidenced by that post
what about evil wizards who call themselves scientists? legit, or no?
big fat no
those lines are never straight…
Bismuth has joined the chat
Straight lines are it’s Bismuth.
Is the gas form called Bismeth?
What do you call Beeznuts?
Bizmist
Bizmuthn’t
Most scientists won’t say that there are no straight lines in nature, it’s so obviously and provably wrong. I think it’s more of a thing philosophically said when talking about how modern life is so different and unnatural compared to the lives of ancient people or animals.
I wonder if there’s any animals who see crystals in nature and think “wow that’s a really cool rock”.
Without a doubt. It would be weirder if there weren’t.
Birds definitely think this. My local Magpies have definitely attempted bribery with cool rocks and shiny discarded human objects
Tbh, I’ve only ever heard it when talking about camouflage. And tbf in that context it is somewhat true, you’re harder to see if you break up those straight lines.
what is ‘natural’ life, being a sustenance farmer, and dying of starvation if you have a bad harvest?
Agriculture is already somewhat unnatural, so I guess a “natural” life would be hunter gatherers.
This is why I prefer the word synthetic and define around that.
Are you trying to say that we don’t follow the laws of nature? That our activities are supernatural?
Somewhat yes, nature usually tries to adapt to the environment, we are adapting the environment to us.
I haven’t seen any other animal building roads and factories and cities.
Buddy, what is natural about me, a person who has never met you, talking to you, a person I have never met. How the hell doss that make any sense. Fuckin’ superpowers m8. All up in this gadget.
I’d say this device I hold in my hands is the natural result of a social species who gained enough intelligence to mostly master their environment enough to spread globally, but still has the social need to stay connected to the tribe wherever they are.
William Blake would’ve agreed, although I forget the relevant passages.
Me: hello, nice to meet you!
You: What the fuck!?
Accurate
oh I see, so if you aren’t a roving band of stone age people, then it’s unnatural?
and are these societies also matriarchal or something too, because you know the patriarchy is unnatural as well?
Kind of, humans were hunter gatherers for so long that we evolved to be good at it, so I guess that’s what would be natural for us.
Agriculture and our current life hasn’t been around long enough for us to properly adapt to it.
I have no idea if those societies were patriarchal or matriarchal, I would imagine both happened or maybe even some sort of equality, if you want to know more about this go ask an expert in the field.
But in the end I don’t care what you do, I just continued your argument.

Yo, these jokes hit different when you Big Brain!
Does it still have straight lines if you look really closely?
Well, no. If you look closely enough, no lines exist.
Yeah, molecules rarely string linearly.
Quite ironic.
Only a Fool would have missed this gold
Does it still have straight lines under a microscope?
That‘s the worst part: at atomic scale, the fucker is made out of smaller… cubes

Those appear to octahedrons
Technically fibers in wood is straight.
I want to say ice has straight edges
We exist within nature, so nature created linear particle accelerators.
Hume pilled.
