    Speaking as a layman, I just think it’s fuckin’ awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.

    Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin’ land where they started seven or eight minutes later.

    Science is fuckin mint, man.

      “Mach yeet” is now added to my list of sentences I never knew I wanted to read

        As an engineer I would like to second this motion to get “Mach Yeet” adopted as an IEC standard technical term.

        If I could have crowbarred “moist” in there somewhere too, I’d have set the lexical tiktok on fire.

        …if there is even one, don’t come at me TNETENNBA fans!

      Have you had a chance to play Kerbal Space Program yet? If not, I think you’d really enjoy it.

        I haven’t, no - and you’re probably right, yes.

        I worry that if I start playing KSP then my other half and kids won’t see me again for six months because it does sound fucking awesome and highly rewarding.

        Nope, I’m a simple man. I play through a couple of Doom WADs each summer in the academic off-season and that’s my gaming appetite satiated.

      Some of these words are meaningless and detract from what you are trying to say. People should not have to be subjected to this nonsense.

      … I think I agree with your sentiment? honestly it’s hard to tell because everything you just said is delivered in this ultra-cringe meme language. I guess this is so the average middle schooler can understand what you’re saying? or is this how robots think humans communicate, so when they want to pretend they’re an “average human internet user”, they talk in this ridiculous idiotic meme codec? idk, whatever, it’s peak cringe, but ok cool comment

        Which part of “chonky boi” or “mach yeet” do you need an average middle schooler to translate for you? Contextually, it’s very clear what is being said for anyone that can read and speaks English.

        You think you know what was said, then insulted it saying it was dumbed down for the average middle schooler. What does that say about you?
