Well I made cookies

This time they look exciting

Wait the inside is basically still raw

nice

They are of in again

@RydwolfPrograms because you see originally, the person using the oven was supposed to also squeeze themselves into the oven and eat the hot food in there. This was eventually scrapped after lawsuits about back injuries and third degree burns, but the name was kept due to legacy systems requiring a 4 letter name for the appliance - the 5 letter name "ovout" would have caused too many null pointer exceptions.

Hmm they're still cook the food so I will not of out hot eat them yet

I can smell the bottoms of the cookies burning but the insides are not cooked yet

This is so tragic

;-;

@RydwolfPrograms hey wait a second do you have a cookie minting licence? We can't just have people going around baking their own currency!

wake up babe new bismuth video just dropped

gotta get that [Potassium]

that piano rendition of the SM64 file select music really does hit different

The cookies are good!

They somehow didn't burn, and the texture is now just right after they've cooled a bit

:O

nice

Had to use 75% whole wheat flour since I ran out of all purpose, and that somehow didn't ruin them

is the rest of the wheat flour fractional?

or is it irrational?

for a second i read that as "i ran out on purpose"

me when complex irrational o-fish cookies

@UnrelatedString lol same

Because the area of a cookie includes a squared term, you can actually include imaginary components in the ingredient proportions and the final product will still be real

but can the wheat be any real wheat, or does it have to be a whole wheat?

You have to be careful with the math tho, intake of significant amounts of imaginary nutrition leads to an overactive imagination and inflated sense of self-worth

that still doesn't answer my question

@lyxal The wheat needs to be minimum 75% whole but the rest can be irrational

good

Farmers have stopped growing as much irrational wheat tho; it just didn't make sense to do so

I also had literally no chocolate chips so I had to murder chocolate bars manually

well so long as you aren't a cereal killer you should be fine

just use figurative chocolate chips

make sure they don't touch the irrational wheat though, that's a good way to summon Douglas Hofstatder

@Ginger a little late for that now :p

That would have been good advice before the crime was committed. Can't un-murder the chocolate bars now

@RydwolfPrograms yummy

i love cookie dough

when my sister makes em i eat 1.638% of the dough

@Ginger If you want to be useful, start looking up similar cases where defendants decimated other delicious snacks so we have some basis to launch a non-guilty plea in court

right

It wasn't until shockingly late in my life that I realized that there wasn't anything that physically kept flames in a gas stove from travelling back through the supply line

Like once I realized the fairly obvious fact that there was no oxygen there it made sense

But like, I'd always assumed there was some cool engineering or something in my gas stove, not that it was literally just a gas pipe with a valve and some holes in it

imagine using gas and not the POWER OF ELECTROMAGNETISM

Ooh do you have induction?!

this post made by rapidly spinning magnet gang

Induction stoves are so cool

ikr?!

I press a button and the stove goes "vrrrrrrrr" and boom instant hot things

@RydwolfPrograms its the same reason cars apparently wont explode like you see in movies

(assuming you don't have some sort of metal medical device inside you 💀)

Can you imagine tho

Bend down to look at your pancakes and you just get cooked from the inside

augh

I always move my laptop a bit away from the stove when I use it because, well, big spinning magnets no work well with delicate electronics

@RydwolfPrograms when you wear rings and want to stir your soup

Wait so you've got a PC with parts cannibalized from the previous decades and an RPi as your daily driver...but your stove is the fanciest new technology that exists? The technology levels in your house intrigue me lol

Is your toaster a diamond-tipped precision laser?

@RydwolfPrograms no, but now you've given me a bad idea :p

@Ginger i watched a veritasium vid earlier today about the worlds strongest magnet. how well do you think ur laptop will hold up? :P

Laptops nowadays actually don't tend to have much magnetic stuff in them

@Seggan well first we have to answer the question: What is a laptop? vsauce.wav

HDDs were the main issue but they're all but extinct except for sub-$500 15.6" ones

@RydwolfPrograms yes but the magnetism still induces currents, no?

No

Well maybe

But like, not a static, unmoving, giant magnet

and you better not let your flash drive get near

A quickly moving magnet could, if there was a big coil or something, but even then I doubt an induction stove could mess up, e.g., an SSD

@RydwolfPrograms but howd you get the laptop in there in the first place?

Well the magnet has to be moving pretty quickly to induce any noticeable electric current right?

Like how you can't use a transformer with DC

@RydwolfPrograms me with a terabyte HDD in my PC

PC or laptop?

PC

PCs have 'em fairly often still, but laptops rarely do

Since the cheap ones have switched to eMMC

And the expensive ones have switched to SSDs

And they've gotten smaller and thinner

I think you kinda have to go out of your way to get a (new) laptop with an HDD nowadays

@RydwolfPrograms watch the eddy currents here and see how slow the plate is moving

@RydwolfPrograms uh, no

No they aren't

(time to go remove "lyxal pregnant" from my SE search history)

w h a t

2 years and I still have no women

Admittedly, I haven't been trying at all to get any, but still

xd

Well actually I haven't tried at all in my teenage life because I just haven't wanted to

That's what all the virgin haploid s say

how did the topic of discussion go from cookies to stoves to magnets to romance with a quick foray into cellular biology

Cheap jokes, as usual

Well because cookies involve cooking which stoves do, sometimes using magnets

An uncharacteristically straightforward random mess of tangents

@lyxal it's so weird even thinking that some people do lmao

I get that people do be like that it's just not me lol

like oh, school's keeping you busy? time to add a whole other person to your life

Not that school romance ever works out

You get a life long relationship out of school love maybe 1% of the time

i honestly couldn't see myself ever looking for a relationship versus happening to fall in love with someone who's already a friend

I've considered but like, I can't even figure out the first step. Like how do you even figure out if someone already has a (boy|girl|nonbinary)friend without either being stalkerish or asking them, which if they already had a one-of-the-above would be pretty uncomfortable for both parties

granted i'm not sure i'm capable of romantic feelings to begin with, considering that's never happened either :P

@UnrelatedString hey hi hello could you please stop doxxing my brain I'd really appreciate it if you didn't do that thank you

@RydwolfPrograms what, that doesn't show up on your HUD? :b

'cause I mean, even tho it could only really last a year and a half max, a relationship would be kinda nice I think

Both getting experience with being in a relationship for a future, more serious one, and shorter term benefits like being around someone routinely who you don't actually hate

Who needs a relationship when you have code golf?

but that'd take time away from code golf!

dammit ninja'd

Heheh

I already don't have time for code golf :p

we want you all to ourselves

this is the Hotel California of chatrooms; once you join you can never leave

Between using my time for school and a girlfriend I'd probably prefer the latter lol

@Ginger "sorry babe, I can't hang out tonight, I need to tend to my empire"

Also have y'all ever looked around and realized how ugly most guys are

"I'd love to go on a date, but like I have these 10 PRs that need reviewing"

Like the competition is not that bad

...damn

@RydwolfPrograms yep

I once saw a study, people rate 80% of women as above average attractiveness, compared to 50% of men

The bar's just lower

@Ginger "I'm sorry to hear that you're having relationship troubles but I just got outgolfed by Kevin. Give me 5-40 minutes and we can talk if the testing workflow on my latest pr doesn't fail"

(and I mean it's not surprising, given the immense social pressure on women to look nice)

"one sec baby I'm restarting the bot"

Like I wake up and am at school twenty minutes later, I could probably put a lot more effort into my appearance and stuff lol

And that's probably the case with most guys

"I'll be there in a bit, I just have to move some IGS from TNB to TN🍞"

"Why did you divorce?" "🅱avid LLL"

"he kept starbaiting even though there was no starboard in our marriage"

Being funny is a desired characteristic for a partner tho :p

You just need to find someone with a starboardy sense of humor

you've come to the right place

@RydwolfPrograms I don't think you do

Wouldn't be much of a relationship if there's no consent :p

@RydwolfPrograms also, shared world domination just doesn't feel the same

@RydwolfPrograms someone's never been here :P

i'm easily bottom 5% on campus

also random related thing while i was trying to find the vid for radvylf, i open youtube and randomly see my kinda crush on the front page

@RydwolfPrograms if you’re a straight man, you realize you’re probably biased right

Like of course you’re going to find more girls attractive

There I go with man/girl again

Anyway the conversation is over but I want to feel like I was part of it so I’ll just comment: why do people seek out short-term relationships explicitly? I can’t imagine getting close to someone and then breaking up just a few months after that

Like I still feel this weird nostalgia but not really nostalgia for my old elementary school and middle school and high school (or rather, the people I knew there and the vibes there, not the schools themselves)

After that show Merlin ended I was on the brink of tears for a whole week

@user very good question. Because they can and because that be how the feel like being

But you’re going to be sad when it’s over so why bother in the first place?

Or do people not feel bad when relationships (platonic or romantic) end? There’s no way they don’t

Some lonely and thirsty mfer feels like not being lonely and thirst so that mfer finds someone who makes them feel not lonely and thirsty. However, after a while, both mfers realise that "huh this relationship is based on not wanting to be L&t there's no substantial basis for anything"

That's why

And hence they break up, move on, start feeling lonely and thirsty and rinse and repeat until you have 2 million dollars in tinder bills

Uh

I’m not sure if this is copypasta, if it’s from experience, or something else

Just personal theories on human interactions

Ah

That kinda stuff

Well idk if your theory is right but i can believe people doing stuff simply because they’re horny

@lyxal damn are you actually becoming a sociologist

I thought you were a cs or software engineering manor

—-program people, social engineering > software engineering—-

@user obviously I'm still doing SE at uni

@user it's like how people say marketing or lawyering is something I should do :p

Lawyering?

After that meta post about area 51 proposals

Ah

I’m afraid I’d have to nuke your fridge if you became a lawyer, politician, or something else that society doesn’t like

Unless you’re like saul

You're not a moderator

Only mods can nuke it

I’ll ask caird to do it for me

@RydwolfPrograms I dunno man

My stove glows red in 5 seconds but no yummy bacons

Admittedly, I can't do bacons, but still

A certified hood classic

@user I can still compare them to myself tho

And I think you can still rate how attractive someone is without being attracted to them, right?

@mathscat Sounds like it's electric, not induction

good point

@user Breadth-first search

Or sex

@RydwolfPrograms Sure, but I feel like you wouldn't be as good as judging them?

@RydwolfPrograms ???

Like, you date everyone you know, then date everyone they know, then date everyone those people know?

Or you find the broadest person possible?

Can I just say that I love online and blended learning classes?

So much more flexible

I guess cheating is probably easier but the two classes I'm taking right now have exams designed in a way that simply looking stuff up won't help you
