Bender "Gender Bending" Rodriguez, Gender: Bose-Einstein Condensate (Bender is very ❄️cool🧊 😎)

the "it's just a phase" diagram

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

This shit should be titled “it’s just a phase”

Your joke is funnier than the OP.

My dude you ought to steal this and add it to the chart and repost as your own.

Pressure: pushing down on me, Pressing down on you, no man ask for, Under pressure that burns a building down, Splits a family in two, Puts people on streets

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If you crush me, then reheat me to just below my melting point, then quench me back then crush me some more, my microgender structure gets stretched and tensed with smaller and smaller grains. I become harder and harder until my yield strength is equal to my ultimate strength. Deep down I'm still the same alloy but heat treated.

Thanks! I just like the feeling of the microcrystalline structure solving and re condensing with new orientation that prevent my gender planes from dislocating on all sorts of cleavage directions.

[–] Sprawl@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

They say it gets hot between states.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 35 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

The moral of the story is don’t put someone under too much pressure or get them too heated, otherwise they’ll go gender critical.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Well normally it'll get gender fluid all over the place but if you do it right they'll go gender critical and get gender all over the place. That's how we got the month of June.

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That is ...

Surprisingly deep.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 7 points 21 hours ago

Nah, just math. Look at the graph!

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Gender Fluid? You mean like the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket?

[–] my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hilarious! Do you regurgitate any other generic right wing jokes? How about the attack helicopter one?

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago* (last edited 21 minutes ago)

It's the lyrics to bad touch by the bloodhound gang. You know, a song that's been pretty popular since 1999?

Do you suffer from schizophrenia?

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 3 points 13 hours ago

The kind you get when you get them to the right temperature and pressure.

Where is the Gender Bose Einstein Condensate and Gender Time Crystal?

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 8 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Gender BEC would be a low energy gathering where all of a sudden everyone is on the same wavelength.

Gender Time Crystal would be someone who switches between two genders regularly.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

My favorite gender is gender ice 9

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago

Time Crystal Gender = Gallifrean

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 10 points 20 hours ago

yet another failed attempt to map the gender spectrum 😔😔

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 20 hours ago

How about gender superglass?

[–] Vytle@lemmy.world 20 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The "Gender Gas" joke has always bothered me for no reason other than because gas IS a fucking fluid.

[–] Comptero@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago

Both gender gas and gender liquid are gender fluid

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Are you saying that under enough social pressure anyone will revert to the gender binary? (j/k)

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 hours ago

No, hot people will be supercritical

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 22 points 23 hours ago (2 children)
[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 30 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

its what all the linux girls using KDE are

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 9 points 22 hours ago

It's how they turn the frogs gay

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

So is gender fluid by definition sub critical gender or am I missing something (yes I know I'm missing something but I'm not telling you what)

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Gas can behave like a fluid. Or rather, the two can behave similarly, but they aren't the same thing.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

They are though. "Fluidity" is not a discrete phase of matter, it's a characteristic certain phases of matter exhibit.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

You're right, that should be "Gender Liquid" with "Gender Plasma" in the far unreadable section. Gas and liquid should be grouped as fluids - is plasma a fluid? I don't think so but I'm not a physicist

Goddammit

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

The top right corner is supercritical fluid, which is correct, it's not the same as plasma, which doesn't really fit neatly on a pressure/temperature phase diagram.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

Yes, it is just ionized gas. What happens when you ionize something in a liquid or solid state? Can ions not form a solid or liquid without some occupied orbitals?

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That's a really salty fluid, or a strong acid/base. Plasma just has temperature driving the ionization, rather than chemistry.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

Could you potentially use sheer charge to ionize something by ripping out all the electrons?

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

That's fair thanks

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 10 points 23 hours ago

Ok so... what exactly would the gender triple point be?

... A person at their first rave, first time doing molly or E?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Idk if you want to put yourself in the "gender critical" category.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

But it's so colourful! It makes being gender fluid seem boring…

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 22 hours ago

Not me for certain. Too much pressure and too hot

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago

Looks like you cracked your phone screen.

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)
[–] marte@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 22 hours ago

I'm at the triple point

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

God I've been waiting to see a good version of this for years, thank you OP

Edit: goddammit it's all wrong

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 21 hours ago

Be pansexual; it's a gas!
