things that make you irrationally angry

[Eight Bit Alien]

Dude, okay - what the fuck happens in science world when someone makes a big ANNOUNCEMENT, and then the shit gets published or reviewed and it turns out to be obvious nonsense? What is the fucking point and how does that happen??

This LV99 shit is an example, although I could name a few - are people intentionally being deceptive, and if so WHAT do they get out of it?? Is that game over for a person's reputation??

[featherboa]

I been wondering the same thing.

It's always like "x does y!", then someone in the comments who actually read the paper says "uhhh, the sample size was 3???"




did that LV99 superconductor not work out?

LV99 was just a magnet

i have one iconic story about overhyped science … people were too lazy/stupid/hype-blinded to do the ONE revelatory experiment that would shed light on their mistaken conclusions about some stupid microbes in an arsenic-rich lake, but instead it spiraled into a fucking NASA press conference about aliens… a GLOBAL spotlight on their fake story

when the truth came out, nobody cared. illusions were stripped away for me, and lord knows it hurt

i’ll tell this tale at length if I can find the time… it’s so brutally stupid

People I know are still social media spamming me about their first DJ night coming up. When will we as a species ever learn?

there's a trailer on that site: the narration + background music is the most obnoxious thing I've seen in a while

this is the result of a collaboration between:
- a wildly hyped (but now struggling) synthetic biology ("synbio") company
- some head-up-their-own-ass artist types
...and they're trying to sell a $5000 jacket made from special (?) silk. the gimmick is that they specify what organism contributed to each thing they are selling, and in this case, that organism is "bacteria"

imagine a restaurant is asking $300 for a botique, bio-hacked salad and when you inquire what makes this salad so special, they excitedly tell you it was made from "plants"

A technical smock to celebrate the unlimited possibilities of exploration and the limitlessness of life on this planet. The Exploring Jacket creates a unisex silhouette with voluminous pockets and a generous hood to shield the wearer during adventures into places unknown. Led by the belief that exploration should be sensitive, spirited and joyful, it can be worn on its own, coupled with the Exploring Musette or to finish a layered look during the cooler months.

Cut from silk and batch dyed with wildtype Streptomyces Coelicolor, each Exploring Jacket is one-of-a-kind. This pigment-producing microbe creates bespoke patterns ranging from blue to red in colour. The current batch is mainly pink.

holy shit

you're right to trust your gut.

i want to strangle the main guy of the band, i want to see the colors of the rainbow change on his face as a choke him. he posted something in instagram, what qualifies you to be a "true new yorker" is when you have to kill your own cockroach. is that it? really? not being annoyed at asshole who just took their life by jumping in front of the E train cuz you're late for your job that you hate?

their upper west side/luxurious gimmick really rubs it in. i want to put my fist through this guys throat.

[Necrometer]

they're just metrosexual Portal

btw, re: that stupid synbio hoodie... they say it goes with the "Exploring Musette" ... but I don't think said musette is currently for sale! I need more content to hate, hahaha

i dont know i guess theres always going to be that that dichotomy / possibility / need for a gimmick to either excuse you from or attract you to something. superficially, black metal at least always historically being hyper fixated on elitism and the perceived order of things its just inevitable that would invite the actual progeny of the dynasticly wealthy to see themselves in that same image and just mine it / farm it. were not legion, we're royal in their defense what zone of music isnt completely infested with trust fund fakers

any sloppy superficial gimmick is almost fine and excusable if you have the fucking riffs which unsurprisingly they do not. we have quite enough genre phillic process metal in the world already as it is thank you

i like portal

[FVBTVS]

theyre just going to have to try harder than this. in my day you had to write a whole philosophical manifesto and show your punchable face before you got any of my underground ire now all you gotta do is compare a michelen starred restaurant to an important death metal album

[Eight Bit Alien]

what if the ruling class didnt quite rule so much as they fluidly transpose different musical sub genres while looking like a christopher nolan'd mudvayne

wouldnt that be based
