Start pronouncing it ‘nucular’, there’s no bigger turn off.
RIGHT?! I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s based on the term NUCLEUS ffs.
Now, to be fair, nucleus it comes from the latin nuculus. It just that it sounds bad and feels bad to say
Noooooo my whole worldviewww
nuculus*
🥺
Dubya said nucular, must be right.
Fun fact: “nuclear” ultimately comes from the Latin nucula, ‘little nut’. The c and l being adjacent is the result of metathesis, similar to pronouncing “ask” as “ax”.
Is that because we exist within a nut?
Or something like that, I don’t know. I don’t remember anything from the “the universe in a nutshell” book.
I’ll take “that totally happened” for 200, please.
Clearly you have not regularly been to bars in Capitol Hill.
That’s nothing, that’s tame, that’s barely even remarkable as odd for all the wild shit I’ve seen and heard (and done -cough-) at and around the bars there.
That’s horrible! Truly awful! Which bars, specifically, should I be avoiding?
Well its been a while since I’ve been, but the Unicorn hopefully still has deepfried Snickers, uh, going to the Wild Rose as a dude is always… an option, lets say… aw fuck, they cancelled taco tuesday, apparently… and one of the original owners passed this year =(
Yeah I guess I’m a bit past my bar cruising prime years.
More or less, just avoid anywhere flooded by college kids, and you’ll probably find somewhere that matches your vibe.
Indeed I haven’t.
Well, perhaps you could try a Jeopardy-like quiz/trivia game at one of them some time =P
But that would require travelling to the US. I’ll have to pass on that until some semblance of sanity returns there. I don’t expect to see that in my lifetime.
Welp, thats entirely fair.
Yeah… we’re kinda all completely beyond fucked these days, over in the US.
I guess our death rattle will at least serve as the most extreme season of reality TV that’s ever been created, so… woooo for that I guess…
Which capitol hill, lmao?
Its a neighborhood of Seattle.
They famously historically LGBTQ+ neighborhood, that also has a lot of music venues, bars, nightlife, etc.
Its also where the uh CHAZ/CHOP momentarily existed, after Cap Hill got tired of being abuses by the local police force, barricaded/seiged them in their own Police HQ in the district, and forced them retreat from it entirely, in the dead of night, after literally burning a bunch of documents that would have proved they were knowingly breaking the law in their own ‘riot control’ actions, destroyed a bunch of their own computers too.
Anyway, I brought it up because the OP specifically mentions Seattle.
It was originally named ‘Capitol Hill’, because it was built with the idea that it would seat the actual Capitol of Washington state… but that ended up being built in a different city, Olympia… so… the name still persists, despite kind of being a misnomer / confusing.
Hah, got it. I know of at least two capitol hills I’ve been to in other major cities, so I wasn’t sure.
Going off their other comments, the furry/tech population here, and their mention of specific bars, Seattle. Don’t worry though, I’m in the same area/culture and still find it kinda weird to throw out a location like that.
To be fair to them, though, the op post does reek of capitol hill furries and techno queers being commonplace and pleasantly weird. So common, that even outside of that city, there are occasional furry bars and coffee shops and stuff. It’s actually really nice.
Ah, nice city. I’ve been there a few times, but somehow I’ve never bumped into a furry. I always spent more times in the wilds nearby though, so maybe that does the trick.
You almost certainly have bumped into a furry if you’ve spent a fair deal of time in Seattle.
They… just… aren’t always wearing their fursuits, corporate tends to frown on that.
Right, but, it seems like, according to this picture and a lot of the folks commenting, that if you meet a furry you will know, probably by dint of them telling you.
Eh, not all furries are so bold, but I see your point as well.
Lemmings spotting obvious satire challenge (impossible)
If you are worried about too many furries in your line of work, try changing jobs! Maybe get into IT or something?
Well then you just trade furries for scalies and bronies.
Maybe I shouldn’t ask, but what are scalies?
Like furries but they got a thing for reptiles instead of mammals. Includes dragons and dinosaurs and such.
so this is lemmy’s “science memes” huh
Edit: /nm
I give it a month before we see the guy QQing about they types of people that hit on industrial engineers.
If you don’t like this meme, post your own. That’s how this works, both here and on Reddit. Platform has nothing to do with it, unless it’s a closed, invite-only forum. That’s the only way you can keep out simple farmers, the people of the land. The common clay of the Earth.
Aw, cutting right when he hears “morons” and laughs is cruel
The people who whine the loudest in situations like this are always the people who have like three posts in their history.

Embrace the furries, could be fun for a fling.
I attract lawyers.
I, too, like to commit crimes
Like, romantically? Or due to your activity?
It was nurses for me. Not necessarily attracted them, but like a third of my matches on dating apps were nurses. And I remember one of them mentioning that it seemed like every other guy she matched with was in IT (at the time I thought it was simply because dating apps were still kinda new around here and IT people were more likely to be trying it)
Many such cases!
Breeder reaction 😳
Maybe don’t brag about your job.
We don’t know if they were bragging or not. It’s pretty common to ask what someone’s job is during small talk. For all we know they literally just said their job title and left it at that.
Guy did say it like five times in one paragraph, just in case people forgot it before they finished reading his post.
Jobs come up pretty damn often in conversation with strangers. If they ask, youre obliged to tell them the truth. Doing so would hardly constitute bragging in my opinion.
