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.

    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".

    Now go further back. Where does the latin word nucula come from?

    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.

    Sort of a similar situation with me and renfair people. I build and fit people with custom orthopedic braces and prosthetics and have access to a metal and leather lab.

    I wouldn't claim anyone is overly flirtatious, but they do seem to get friendlier and ask a lot of questions about things like hand setting rivets.

    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.

    Don't get the question. Sounds like telling people you're a nuclear engineer is working out well.

    What’s it got to do with being a nuclear engineer though? It just seems so random, it feels like I’m missing something.

    Yes, and therein lies the humor, the juxtaposition of opining in casual tone what feels implied by the speaker to be mundane and relatable but which is in fact extremely niche and specifically un-relatable.

    I seem to be attracted to musicians more than any other hobby or profession. If you can sing or play an instrument, it makes me wet af.

    So are we thinking they're all gold diggers looking to get their fursuit bought, they're all also in similar high earning fields looking for similar companionship or just assume OP is also a furry because every nuclear engineer is?

    Cause I think it's nr.3
