@hacks4pancakes Growing up in a farm town and attending the local university, with a public scrapyard full of rust and a hardware store that sold powdered aluminum and magnesium tape, I am amazed that any of us lived long enough to graduate.
can't imagine what we woulda done with a warp core.
@mwl @hacks4pancakes We blew every fuse in the house with a stripped extension cord and a knife, we nearly blew up a gas station cleaning the inside of a car with a gas soaked rag, I nearly blew myself up trying to make naplam from gas and a styrofoam cup. And we were smart kids.

They absolutely act like every 17 year old cadet I ever met. Yes, they’re painfully cringe. You’re 30-40-50something and teenagers are cringe to us now, I’m sorry - it is what it is
my space girlfriend is back and you can’t dull my shine (no spoilers) -

@hacks4pancakes I literally chipped my front tooth in high school off by laying on a couch and dropping a hammer into my own face accidentally, so I get it.
@virtualbri @hacks4pancakes
I worked as an engineer on the Channel Tunnel project.
I also automatically pull every door that says Push. Every. Single. Time. -

@hacks4pancakes Suddenly grateful that when I accidentally shocked myself with a camera flash capacitor twice at 15 I didn't need medical attention.
If the worst case can rattle a Sgt, I don't want to know what I was extremely fortunate enough to avoid.

@hacks4pancakes the number of times I’ve reminded peer senior NCOs that, yes, the juniors *literally* don’t know better, that’s why you’re here.
It’s a lot.

@hacks4pancakes swallowing the comm badge isn't even the dumbest thing they'd do. One of them would absolutely put it the other way round.

Actual military members@hacks4pancakes they must have lived a very isolated and weirdly alternative lifecycle, coming onto this planet as grown up weird sci fi nerds skipping all the interesting parts.

@virtualbri @hacks4pancakes and I managed to shock myself with a capacitor from a camera flash. By myself. No need for someone to do it for me.

@hacks4pancakes I solve this problem by avoiding star trek, because I'm genuinely not smart enough for it.
