      I like not having a degree because I'm never going to have any measure of authority that would be undermined by my shitposts, the only authority I undermine is everybody else's

      That makes sense! Although, conversely, I find it funny when people say me shitposting or swearing or not-dressing-nicely undermines the authority of my physics doctorate, because. Have you met physicists.

      We shitpost *our own discipline*. We named the unit of cross-sectional area for atomic-level nucleii a "barn." It's not someone's name. It's because they thought it would be funny and stupid to define one of the smallest targets in existence "one barn" in size---

      It is literally because of the "Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn" saying.

      Which led to the joke unit of measurement, the "barn-hubble", which is the total volume of a cylinder with a diameter of one barn and a length of the Hubble length (the distance between the Earth and the farthest observable galaxies, i.e. "the length of the observable universe")

          HAH! I didn't know that one! My doctoral dissertation was on using Surface Plasmon Resonance (and some other stuff) to assist in nano-particle self-assembly, mostly using nanospheres. It took EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING not to subtitle my dissertation "Balls are touching"

          There's a whole list that used to go around on Usenet of "whimsical units of measure", like saying that the most significant life milestone you can celebrate is being one gigasecond old (which is roughly 31.69 years)

          They talked about selling bottles of water one barn-hubble in size at conferences It's funny because mathematically it's the same volume but, of course, a container the *shape* of a barn-hubble could contain no water at all
