Does Lemmy like nuclear engineers?

79 comments

I think he understands the problem considering he mentioned his 200k income at the start of the post.
Fur suits are expensive so hes the perfect money source :D
- Unlike those industrial engineer peasants.
  
  Well you see American manufacturing keeps getting hamstrung by an orange dipshit who thinks he's saving it
  
  Maybe they want to get a spiderman style radioactive dog bite to turn into their ideal puppy form.
  
  Unironically yes. Lots of variation in pay and prestige among different engineering disciplines. Manufacturing engineers are not typically very well paid from what I’ve seen.
- That went directly over my head. Apparently I’m out of touch. Haven’t dated in many years.
  
  Yeah, same. I didn’t realize being a furry was so expensive.
- A sugar buck?

"can I be your fast breeder reactor?"
😂
- I wonder if they'd help me work out a system to pump some hot waste fluids in my bedroom.

Is Lemmy a furry?
- I think there's a large population only because this is inherently niche. And niche things attract niche interest groups in larger quantities.
  TLDR FUR FREAK GALORE
  
  Or the same group of people who were going to be furries (predominately a thing developed on the internet) were going to first be deliberate internet users who then naturally discover lemmy.
  
  A friend has made a compelling case that furries are a key indicator species in web communities. If the community hosts furries, it means things are going on there, if it doesn't host furries it's probably not worth your time.
- The hacker known as Lemmy?
  
  The hacker formerly known as Lemmy, written 𓁁.
- Atleast from my own experience there is alot of it here. For some reason, top comments about sexual restriction-related posts on Lemmy tend towards the fear of bans coming for furries. Make of that what you will.
  Any negative comments about their weirdness will not be met kindly here.

  I'm not pro-furry, and it's clear that this statement on its own is sufficient advice — largely, regardless of its subject.
  (fuck fascists, tankies, trolls, MAGAts, hexbear, ml, etc., though)
  
  When people started first migrating from reddit there was a TON of furry porn.
- Yes
  
  Yes

How does he know who's is a furry and who isn't at a party? Are they always dressed up?
- because he is at a furry party. they are all dressed up. him too.
- In my limited experience, they're pretty up front with it even when they're not wearing a fursuit or furry merch.

In a million years, I never would have guessed that this was an issue.
- That's because you're not a nuclear engineer.

I think I’ve only ever met 2 furries in my entire life. I don’t know where this person is that furries are so common. Then again, I’m not a nuclear engineer. Maybe radiation attracts furries?
- I don't know where this person is that furries are so common.
  Seattle.
  
  Lol I was gonna answer this too, even have a dedicated furry bar
- This is one of those things that might not always be immediately obvious if you’re not plugged into that specific community.
  I’ve never met a furry either. But completely by chance, I found out that my city of 160.000 people has a group who does regular furry walks. Basically, they’ll do a walk and meet the public once a month. I had no freaking clue we had that here. It wasn’t a thing I was looking for and never ran into. It was completely by chance that I read an article about it.
  So uh, furries are probably closer than you think is my point 😀
- I don’t know where this person is that furries are so common.
  Idk maybe he’s at a furry convention?

Tell em you work for Boeing.
- Only if you really want to blow their doors off.

He's obviously in his furry suit.

Definitely a Seattle issue. We have a queer furry cidery—the first one in the US!
- A building turning furries into cider? And people are happy about this?! I mean, we in he US will give miles of leeway to anyone if they check one “minority” box.
  
  but it's queer, so you know... it's really well designed, clean, the neighbors love it....
- Which one? Over by cap hill?
  
  It’s called Slightly Furry. It’s in north Becon Hill, just north of I-90 right off the exit!
- Is it for queer or furry or queer furries.
  
  First openly queer and furry (together) was my understanding.
  
  I think non queer furries are a tiny minority in that game

He should tell them he is a cyber security chad expert. That will stop them!

"An nuclear engineer"? That's suspicious grammar for a nuclear engineer.
- I was a peer writing tutor at a top engineering school. I would be surprised if an engineer had verb-noun agreement. (That said, my kid was a nuclear engineer and is a great writer, so that is the danger of stereotypes...)
- This is how you know its not written by chat gpt

Furries are all cyber security engineers so start each conversation with your favorite windows update so far.

The subcultures have all the fun

Whatever just don't tell Lemmy you're a landlord
- Good. Landlords should be scared.
- or beans
- You got your rent check written up yet boot sucker?

Good to know PNW furries don't hit on my career.

I don’t see the problem

Maybe tell them you're a taxidermist? Although that might be a different kind of turn on.
- Nope, Chuck Testa.
  
  Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Oh brother. I'm not a landlord any more but if I was I'm sure I'd be petrified

Like...has nuclear engineering been furrified? Is there an abnormally large furry bloc within the nuclear engineering community? IS SOMEONE BUILDING FUR SUIT RADIATION SUITS?
