@awk@Kidsandliz It always did that. If you edit a post with a giphy, you get a new one. At least until the edit window closes. And if you have an overly specific phrase you might get only one giphy in the result.
I have a Bachelor of Science (American Chemical Society Certified)
I have a Master of Science (with thesis).
I have a Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry
Many peer reviewed publications in science journals.
An extinguished career in the chemical industry.
Retired as a Captain of Industry (vp technology),
and chief scientist of my company.
All because as a youthful and callow fellow, I fell in with a bad crowd, which lead to a life of academic rigor, scientific honesty and steadfast ethical behavior, when I could have been lying and cheating my way to a fortune, like so many, many others, whom I encountered in my career.
Or maybe it was a dirty swimming pool, where I fortunately, for me, did NOT catch a brain tumor, polio, or other malady and as a result naturally drifted to the sciences…
And because I, unlike so many others of the present generation, had a classical education in English in high school and more than that years of spelling, recognized that this whole discussion is bogus as whoever put it together can’t spell scientific correctly, much less judge one’s chops in the trade.
@Jackinga@kuoh Perhaps a spell checker extinguished his career.
Although I have extinguished a couple of things in laboratory fume hoods (years ago), and probably extinguished a couple of careers.
Side note: brilliance in a technical career doesn’t necessarily map to perfection in all career fields such as language arts. I have a couple of friends who tend to drop such gems as “lightling” for lightning and “chimbley” for chimney. One was an accomplished professor in Physics, the other a PhD in Mathematics. I’d wager that both are geniuses.
Well, Giphy, i guess you could call that artistic AND science-tific. I think using the /giphy command automatically adds “meh” to the search terms, cuz I’m consistently underwhelmed by the results, especially the first ones to pop up.
My daughter is in middle school and is a big math/science kid. Always has been. Recently she has found a passion for art so for her birthday we just got her a 16" prosumer level drawing tablet and she is loving how to learn to bend it to her will. She just had an art assignment called ‘lines’. And the only instruction was to draw some shapes or squiggles or lines in a pattern. Kiddo went with only black and white and only drew straight lines. It blew my mind. I hope she chases this passion.
Are you asking me whether I’m a work of art or a science experiment? I just checked with a mirror and I’m pretty sure I’m no work of art. Last year: 3 covid shots, a senior flu shot, a pneumonia vax, a tetanus booster, and one set of antibiotics. Yes, I think I may qualify as a science experiment. I hope that answers your question.
Yes I would say that.
@yakkoTDI
Thank you. I was about to say the same.
@yakkoTDI … yes, this one.
I lean a bit toward lunatic.
KuoH
Science is an art and a science, there is a science to art.
I found the spelling of “scienctific” in the poll title to be very artistic but not very scientific.
@awk Probably taking an artictis license in spelling.
/image artictis
Hahaha tells you something about image.
@awk
/giphy artictis
Well well well at least giphy knows what is what. On the other hand this time around when I hit edit the image changed to a new one. That is new.
@awk @Kidsandliz It always did that. If you edit a post with a giphy, you get a new one. At least until the edit window closes. And if you have an overly specific phrase you might get only one giphy in the result.
@awk @Kidsandliz
There’s actually an animal called the “Arctictis binturong”!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binturong
(One additional “c” but I’m still surprised.)
@awk @mike808 I was editing though with image, not giphy, and normally that doesn’t change. This time it did.
@awk @Kidsandliz That is different. I’ll have to try it. Usually I edited the terms to get a new image.
@awk @mike808 I wonder if it was a glitch since I got nothing at all when I tried giphy.

@Jackinga I might be willing to take your musings with more seriousness, if only your career in the chemical industry hadn’t been extinguished.

@Jackinga Science bless you! I agree completely with your final sentiment!
I am geometrical.
@hchavers Which branch of study?
/giphy geo metro
or

KuoH
If I can do it, it ain’t art.
I always spell scienctific correctly.
@f00l You misspelled corrctly.
KuoH
@f00l ic…
Not me… I spell correctly correctly. Scienctific is spelled scienctific.
/giphy stupid grin
Someone please add just a little more bleach to the gene pool!(e.g.: Tide pod-like items)
@sicc574 Nah, All the cool kids hang out at the deep end.
Shhh. Don’t tell the kids with floaties in the shallow end there’s no lifeguard.
OK: you are more artistic or scienctific?
@lomerson2
/giphy more
Maybe they meant “science-tific!” cuz they’re more artistic but are REALLY enthusiastic about science…?
/giphy science-tific!
Well, Giphy, i guess you could call that artistic AND science-tific. I think using the /giphy command automatically adds “meh” to the search terms, cuz I’m consistently underwhelmed by the results, especially the first ones to pop up.
I say I’m more idiotic.
Where was a choice of “a little of both”?
I’m more scienterrific than arterrible.
Both.
Artistic.
The one thing I try not to be is philosophic. I don’t have time to waste on that.
No one remembers this?

@unksol That’s why leetspeak works, too.
Both. I’m a writer and I’m studying psychology and neuroscience in school.

@capnjb
that would make a cool tapestry…
@chienfou Make it happen and give me 20%. I approve
