@Mr.Feynman bro actually said: I'm out
I spent the last 10 minutes doing this

this might be your best work so far Mr Feynman, definitely better than those path integrals people often talk about
If ACM bans me it will also be the last :P
the bottom should be "what's diffeomorphism invariance" instead of Haag, otherwise pretty accurate

I knew I was forgetting some curse
I think the one that made me laugh the most was Slereah's
The one with the old book
22:25
@ACuriousMind my profound apologies... ACM Herr :p
I will fix the meme one day, sir
@Mr.Feynman I want to star this harder

@Mr.Feynman ::eye twitches::
@qwerty this made me chuckle
slereah dropping the most sacrilegious physics lore available to humanity is pretty standard at this point :p
22:30
@Mr.Feynman at your service signore
@ACuriousMind in seriousness... would it be actually more considerate to drop the topic on chat?
There is nothing wrong with discussing diffeomorphism invariance it's just one of the topic that comes out cyclically and out of all of them, I think ACM hates discussing it the most
Because the same things have to be said every time and it's always the same question, but with different words
22:47
I didn't ask if there was anything wrong with it I asked if it would be more considerate
I don't know to where on the scale it sits from "haha I hate it" to "I hate this as much as I hate someone who murdered my cat"
:p
I think the level of hate is "angry face during breakfast"
After all the chat is free as long as the rules are not violated, so if someone doesn't like a question, they can just ignore - which we do a LOT
yes, I've noticed :) but asking for someone's explicit preferences/consent is usually nice imo
especially as I was pinging from replies directly
He also doesn't have to discuss it
@qwerty no, this wasn't directed at you - diffeomorphisms have been a running gag for years
Too sadge O'Neill's textbook of Differential Geometry covers only curves and surfaces.
I really wanna dive into smooth manifolds, I mean.
23:00
Oooh, @qwerty sorry if it came across as if it was about you. The question has been around in the chat for a long time. I had my diffeomorphism invariance phase too
Haag doesn't quite have the same memetic status and it's usually me who brings it up first, so it doesn't fit into the meme imo
We're working to make it grander :P
I mean, from my perspective Haag is the absolute evil of this world, so you could see where I was coming from
@Mr.Feynman no no, I understood it was a bit of a running meme, but sometimes jokes are funny because of a kernel of truth... and I didn't want to contribute to ACM feeling irritated
@Mr.Feynman but you didn't make a "Mr. Feynman logs into the hbar" meme :P
@Mr.Feynman those QFT witches, burn them!
23:05
@qwerty I think that in the meme what really irrirates him is the one about cheap philosophy :P
@ACuriousMind I've - virtually speaking - your eyes going dull trying to explain why life is worth living even after Haag did what he did
And then reconnecting to asymptotic states and advicing Simon&Reeds, volume 3
It's burned on my mind
Reed, not Reeds
Burnt in slightly wrongly, it seems :P
@qwerty it's fine, really - if I genuinely disliked talking about it I would have stopped entering these discussions years ago :P
23:24
one day, I will succeed in understanding basic qm/qft and progress to this mysterious witch theorem
maybe
speaking of coursework, I was told that I had to take complex analysis as a physics major, it was the most useful course... and it has not really come up for me since then at all
@Mr.Feynman wow u really one upped me
bit perplexed by that still
@ACuriousMind lmfao i was thinking this
@Mr.Feynman lmao no. but the weird thing is yesterday everyone in my cohort started meowing in the gchat randomly. i did a double take expecting naturally to emerge with a grin
