What happens at the gender triple point?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 113 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The gender triple point, aka gender superposition, is where a gender can be calculated and estimated, but not observed. Attempting to observe the gender changes it to a different state.

In layman's terms, this is also called "mind your own fucking business, your obsession with my genitals is fucking weird and creepy."

Damn I love science

Fartographer for president!

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Someone take @bigFab@lemmy.world's car keys, they're obviously drunk

@TexasDrunk@lemmy.world, please hand out the "TheFartographer has bad Ideas" pamphlets

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Absolutely fucking not. I'm way more drunk than bigFab. I'm already handing out pamphlets that say "Vote TheFartographer for a fart in every pot and gas in every ass". I don't know what it means either, but I definitely voted for you.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Shit, I voted for you! I've handed out pamphlets that say "TexasDrunk: stealing daddies since 1997 and playing triangle in a punk folk cover band tomorrow." I've offered to fart in a lot of pots and it's been pretty unpopular so far...

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's only unpopular because you're doing it to get them to vote for me. They all know I'm no good.

On an unrelated note, what are you doing up so late? I'm only up because I'm about to head to SA. My buddy has an extra Saturday ticket to Space Con and I'm going to drunkenly and shamelessly flirt with Kate Mulgrew since I don't think Eugene Cordero or George Takei will be there.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

HOLY SHIT, FUCK YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER CARED ABOUT!

I wanted to go to Space Con and decided that it was simply too expensive, especially just a couple of weeks after going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show live. I hope it's amazing and that the entire guest list actually shows up. A few years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rick Moranis showed up for their first cons and everyone assumed that Alamo City Comic Con was just pulling our leg, so I wouldn't totally discount your favorite celebrities being there.

And I'm up late cuz it's the weekend and I gotta find some way to fuck myself over. Might as well be fucking up my sleep cycle.

The Freeman Coliseum isn't way too far from me, so DM me if you wanna meet up and mutually murder each other or say hi or something.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Frakes was supposed to be here but he has family stuff or something going on. I'm excited about LeVar Burton but I'm afraid I'm going to sit on the floor crying and singing the Reading Rainbow song.

Man, I love when I find gold like this in the comments section!

That's where you find the bisexual she/theys in hetero relationships.

Transcendence of gender as a concept entirely

I am I, gender is a social construct I no longer need. My gender can be perceived in infinite variations depending upon the observer.

[–] Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago

All 3 states exist at the same time, rapidly alternating between them.

Gender chain-melted state? Gender superglass? Gender string-net liquid?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago
[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmm. I recommend you don't Google that on Bing.

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago

I Binged it on DuckDuckGo and got really interesting results about gender differences in blood plasma.

gender liquid sounds a lot more suggestive

What about the gender triple point?

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 weeks ago
[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There is no gender triple point because there are only two genders /s

Just kidding, ther obviously is a gender triple point, I just didn't want to admit that my knowledge is too limited to know anything about it.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Solid = conforming

Gas = non-conforming

Fluid = either or both depending on the person at the moment

Super critical = ignores gender as a concept entirely in their self-definition; OR, considers themselves a gender that is based on different standards entirely, like certain religious positions in human cultures where a spiritual leader is considered to be neither/no gender

Can confirm, am gender sublimating

[–] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 weeks ago

I was sure this was 196. But Apparently not

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ahh shit I'm not hot enough. Even self-pressuring isn't working :((

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you tried applying gentle pressure to yourself? It can be very good

I'm super critical of gender. Let's get rid of all those. Gender vacuum.

Does this mean I can specialize in critical gender theory? Wait until the conservatives hear about this one.

Is Ohio the American Bielefeld?

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
  1. Do you know anybody from "Ohio"?
  2. Have you ever been to "Ohio"?
  3. Do you know anybody who has ever been to "Ohio"?

Ohio is a magical land. It can be whatever you don't want it to be.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's what the LGBT Agenda wants you to think.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

I knew the concept of gender had a scientific basis! That's why people are so sure about the whole paradigm

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Gender gas. I'm gender gas. Final answer, Regis.

Regis? Someone call a doctor!

[–] remer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

You make a good gender critical point.

[–] sweetpotato@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Someone should make a phase diagram as well. With temperatures on the Y axis and percentage of being gay or straight on the X axis. Like we do fora alloys
