No, it’s just I don’t think many of my IRL friends actually would know the term “hentai,” but I do live in a pretty isolated, technology-averse town in the mountains, so it’s probably just my circumstances

That’s a pretty narrow slice of Venn Diagram where you can actually tell that joke, though

I don’t even ever get the physical withdrawals or any noticeable effects, regardless of how often I do or don’t drink it. So, since my partner really does need the coffee first thing in the morning and I’m making it anyway, I usually have a cup because I like the taste and ritual. But when she’s out of town or getting coffee elsewhere, I hardly ever have any caffeine.

The exception is when I was taking Adderall every day, I really did feel some effects from the caffeine, mostly potentiating the amphetamine. I do miss that aspect of being medicated

Made well I enjoy the taste, but it’s ever been good at keeping me awake or making me productive.

Same. I eventually figured out that this is likely a symptom of my adult ADHD, and I either need unhealthy amounts of coffee or something a little stronger

Man, it says something about the state of the world that I have been eating The Onion an awful lot lately…

Is that a Stanisław Lem reference in the wild? Will wonders never cease…

Truly a brand new sentence

Looked like it had just come back from the ethereal plane, its eyes were so wide

Well, yeah. If I got chased down and caught by a predator 4 times my size, I’d be a little wide-eyed, too.

Ok, here we go…

I’m going down, down, stung a frog like a clown

Sugar, I’m going down stinging

You can tell that this wasn’t written by a parent. Parents know that the small child is already covered in jam, despite there being no jam at the BBQ

chemist: da fuq those ecologists doin’ over there?

Yeah, I’m gonna need some more of these to surprise my science-y spouse on Friday

The burden of good taste is always knowing that nobody you met will ever know what the fuck you’re talking about when it comes to music.

Man, I just started Man on the Inside by Michael Schur with Ted Danson, and it’s pretty good, but it’s not The Good Place. Looks like it’s time for another rewatch

Folks, if your boo:

• Calls their personality quirks “functional groups”
• Tests you by demanding you elucidate their mechanisms
• Has unexplainable peak splitting between 0 and 10 ppm

That’s not your boo; that’s an organic chemistry

Is stating the self-evident truth considered a meme now?

It does get legitimately used both ways. In a chemistry textbook, seeing it written as “unionized” is pretty common, and wiktionary says that the hyphenated form is predominantly used in contexts where it might be confused with “having a union” (which matches with my experience).

However, I still assert that it’s just not a word chemists use that much as there are other, less ambiguous synonyms available.
